CIGAR LIGHTER AND ASHTRAY
(where provided) fig. 57
Press button A; after approximately 15
seconds the cigar lighter will return to its
initial position and is ready for use.
IMPORTANT Always check that the cig-
ar lighter has turned off.
SUN VISORS fig. 58
They are located at the sides of the dri-
ving mirror.
They can be adjusted forwards and side-
wards.
A courtesy mirror is applied to the back
of the passenger’s side sun visor, while a
pocket is applied to the back of the dri-
ver’s side sun visor. On certain versions
the courtesy mirror is fitted also on the
driver’s sun visor. Carefully inspect the car to find fuel leaks,
e.g. in the engine compartment, under the
car or near the tank.
If no fuel leaks are found and the car can
be started again, press button Ato reset
the fuel system and the lights.
After a crash, remember to turn the igni-
tion key to STOPto prevent battery run-
down.

If, after a crash, you smell fu-
el or see leaks from the fuel
system, do not reset the switch to
avoid fine risk.
WARNINGThe cigar lighter gets very
hot. Be careful how you han-
dle it and make sure it is not used by
children: danger of fire or burns.
WARNING
The ashtray can be removed and can be
placed into the glass holder to be used al-
so by rear passengers.
Do not use the ashtray as waste paper
basket: it might set on fire in contact with
cigarette stubs.

CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short journeys and frequent cold starts do
not allow the engine to reach optimum op-
erating temperature. This results in a sig-
nificant increase in consumption levels
(from +15 to +30% on the urban cycle)
and emission of harmful substances.
Traffic situations and road
conditions
Rather high consumption levels are tied to
situations with heavy traffic, for example
in queues with frequent use of the lower
gears or in cities with many traffic lights.
Also winding mountain roads and rough
road surfaces adversely affect consump-
tion.
Traffic hold-ups
During prolonged hold-ups (level crossings)
the engine should be switched off.TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT NOTES
For towing caravans or trailers the car
must be fitted with a certified tow hook
and an adequate electric system. Installa-
tion should be carried out by specialised
personnel who release a special document
for circulation on the road.
Install any specific and/or additional rear-
view mirrors as specified by law.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, the brak-
ing spaces increase and overtaking takes
longer depending on the overall weight.
Engage a low gear when driving downhill,
rather than constantly using the brake.
The weight the trailer exerts on the car
tow hook reduces by the same amount
the actual car loading capacity. To make
sure the maximum towable weight is not
exceeded (given in the log book) account
should be taken of the fully laden trailer,
including accessories and personal be-
longings. Top speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases
with speed. Avoid superfluous braking and
accelerating, which cost in terms of both
fuel and emissions.
Acceleration
Accelerating violently increasing the revs
will greatly affect consumption and emis-
sions: acceleration should be gradual.
