EXTENDING THE BOOT
Before extending the boot, release the seat belt buckle (with black
button, if fastened) and accompany the webbing in the reel to prevent
it from twisting; insert the tongues, overlapping them, in the retaining

HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENT ABROAD
The dipped-beam headlights are adjusted for circulation in the
country in which the vehicle is marketed. In countries with opposite
circulation, to avoid glaring oncoming vehicles, it is necessary to
cover the areas of the headlight as shown below: this is done using
non-transparent sticker tape.
Figures refer to passing from right-hand drive to left-hand drive.

CONTAINING RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may help you to
keep the running costs of your car down and lower
the amount of toxic emissions released into the
atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in
accordance with the “Service schedule”.Tyres
Check the pressure of the tyres routinely at an
interval of no more than 4 weeks: if the pressure is
too low, consumption levels increase as resistance to
rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much luggage stowed in the
boot. The weight of the car (especially when driving
in town) and its trim greatly affects consumption
and stability.
