CRUISE CONTROL (where provided)
It is a device able to support the driver, with electronic control, which
allows driving at speed over 30 km/h on long and straight dry roads
(e.g.: motorways), at a desired speed, without pressing the accelerator
pedal. Therefore it is not suggested to use this device on extra-urban
roads with traffic. Do not use it in town.
DEVICE ENGAGEMENT
Turn knurled ring A to ON.
The device may only be engaged in the 4th or 5th gear. Travelling
downhill with the device engaged, the car speed may increase more
than the memorised one.
When the device is activated, the warning light
Üon the instrument
cluster turns on together with the message (where provided) on the
multifunction display.

dashboard.
The display provides the visual indication of the positions during the
adjustment operation.
Position 0 - one or two people occupying the front seats.
Position 1 - five people.
Position 2 - five people + load in the boot.
Position 3 - driver + maximum permissible load stowed in the boot.
IMPORTANT Check beam aiming every time the load carried
changes.
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.

FAILURE WARNINGS
See the “Warning lights and messages” chapter.
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
The system is preset for deactivating automatically
when the trailer electric cable plug is fitted into the
car tow hook socket.
Sensors are reactivated when removing the trailer
cable plug.GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, take the utmost care to obstacles
set above or under the sensors.
❒Objects set close to car rear part, under certain
circumstances are not detected and could
therefore cause damages to the car.
❒Indications sent by the sensor can be altered by
dirt, snow or ice deposited on the sensors or by
ultrasound systems (e.g.: truck pneumatic
brakes or pneumatic hammers) set nearby the
car.

For proper operation, the parking sensors set on the bumpers shall be clean from mud, dirt, snow
or ice. When cleaning the sensors, take the utmost care to prevent their damaging; do not use
therefore dry or rough clothes. Sensors shall be washed with clean water and car detergent, if
required. In washing stations, clean sensors quickly keeping the vapour jet/high pressure washing
nozzles at 10 cm at least from the sensors.
WARNING
Parking manoeuvres however are always under the driver’s responsibility that
shall always check the absence of people, animals or objects in the manoeuvre
space. This system is just a help for the driver but he shall never reduce
important during dangerous manoeuvres even if performed at low speed.

CORRECT USE OF THE CAR

HOW TO WARM UP THE ENGINE AFTER IT
HAS JUST STARTED (petrol and Multijet versions)
Proceed as follows:
❒Drive off slowly, letting the engine turn at
medium revs. Do not accelerate abruptly;
❒Do not drive at full performance for the initial
kilometres. Wait until the coolant temperature
gauge starts moving.
EMERGENCY START-UP
If the instrument panel warning light
Ystays on
with fixed light, the emergency start-up can be
performed by using the CODE card code
(see section “In an emergency”).STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition to STOP while the engine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a taxing drive, you should allow
the engine to “catch its breath” before turning it off
by letting it idle to allow the temperature in the
engine compartment to fall.

CORRECT
USE OF
THE CAR
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or coasting downhill. This could cause fuel to
flow into the catalytic exhaust system and damage it beyond repair.
A quick burst on the accelerator before turning off the engine serves absolutely no practical
purpose, it wastes fuel and is damaging especially to turbocharged engines.
Remember that the servobrake and power steering are not operational until the
engine has been started, therefore much effort than usual is required on the brake
pedal and steering wheel.
WARNING

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.

TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT NOTES
For towing caravans or trailers the car must be
fitted with a certified tow hook and an adequate
electric system. Installation 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 braking 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 vehicle
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
belongings.
Do not exceed the speed limits of the country you
are driving in. In any case do not exceed 100 km/h.

CORRECT
USE OF

WARNING
Under no circumstances should the vehicle brake system be altered to control the
trailer brake. The trailer braking system must be fully independent of the vehicle’s
hydraulic system.
WARNING
The ABS system with which the car may be fitted does not control the trailer braking
system. Great care should therefore be taken when driving on slippery road surfaces.

INSTALLING THE TOW HOOK
The towing device should be fastened to the body
by specialised personnel according to any additional
and/or integrative information supplied by the
Manufacturer of the device.
The towing device must meet current regulations
with reference to 94/20/EC Directive and
subsequent amendments.
For any version the towing device used must match
the towable weight of the vehicle on which it is to
be installed.
For the electric connection a unified connector
should be used which is generally placed on a
special bracket normally fastened to the towing
device, and a special ECU for external trailer light
control shall be installed on the car. For the electrical connection 7 or 13 pins 12VDC
connection is to be used (CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN
Standards). Follow the instructions provided by the
car manufacturer and/or the tow hitch
manufacturer.
An electric brake should be supplied directly by the
battery through a cable with a cross section of no
less than 2.5 mm
2.
IMPORTANT Electric brake or other device shall be
used with running engine.
In addition to the electrical branches, the car’s
electric system can only be connected to the supply
cable for an electric brake and to the cable for an
internal light, though not above 15W.
For connections use a preset control unit with
battery cable no less than 2.5 mm
2.
