Values displayed
Range
Estimated distance which can be travelled
with the fuel currently in the tank, keep-
ing the same driving style. The display will
show “----” in the following cases:
– value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– car left parked with engine running for
long.
IMPORTANT The variation of the auton-
omy value can be influenced by different
factors: driving style (see what is described
in paragraph “Driving style” in the chap-
ter “Start-up and driving”), type of route
(highways, urban, mountain, etc…), use
conditions of the car (load transported,
tire pressure, etc…). What was described
previously must be taken in consideration
when planning a trip.
Trip distance
This value shows estimated distance cov-
ered from the start of the new mission.
Average consumption
Average fuel consumption since the start
of the new mission.
Instant consumption
This value shows instant fuel consumption
(this value is updated second by second).
If parking the car with engine on,
the display will show “----”.Average speed
This value shows the car average speed as
a function of the overall time elapsed since
the start of the new mission.
Travel time
This value shows the time elapsed since
the start of the new mission.
IMPORTANT Lacking information, Trip
computer values are displayed with “----”.
When normal operating condition is re-
set, calculation of different units will
restart regularly. Values displayed before
the failure will not be reset.TRIP button fig. 30
Button TRIP, set on the top of the right
steering column stalk, shall be used (with
ignition key at ON) to display and to re-
set the previously described values to start
a new mission:
– short push to display the different val-
ues
– long push to reset and then start a new
mission.
New mission
New mission starts after:
– “manual” resetting by the user, by press-
ing the relevant button;
– “automatic” resetting, when the “Trip dis-
tance” reaches 9999.9 km or when the
“Travel time” reaches 99.59 (99 hours and
59 minutes);
– after disconnecting/reconnecting the
battery.

DIESEL ENGINES
If the outside temperature is very low, the
diesel thickens due to the formation of
paraffins and could clog the diesel fuel fil-
ter.
In order to avoid these problems, differ-
ent types of diesel are distributed ac-
cording to the season: summer type, win-
ter type arctic type (mountains/cold ar-
eas).
If refuelling with diesel fuel not suitable for
the current temperature, mix diesel fuel
with TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in the
proportions stated on the can, putting first
the antifreeze in the tank and then the
diesel fuel.
Refuel with local diesel fuel if the car is
used/parked in the mountains or in cold
areas for a long period. In this event you
are recommended to keep an amount of
fuel higher than 50% in the tank.The car must only be filled
with diesel fuel for motor ve-
hicles, in compliance with Eu-
ropean Standard EN590. The
use of other products or mixtures may
irreparably damage the engine with in-
validation of the warranty due to the
damage caused. In the event of acci-
dentally filling with another type of fu-
el, do not start the engine and empty
the tank. If the engine has been run
even for only a very short time, in ad-
dition to the tank, it is also necessary
to drain out the whole fuel circuit.
REFUELLING
To guarantee full tank filling, carry out two
refuelling operations after the first click of
the fuel delivery gun. Avoid further top-
ping up operations that could cause dam-
ages to the fuel system.
AT THE FILLING
STATION
PETROL ENGINES
Use only unleaded petrol.
To prevent errors, the diameter of the fu-
el tank filler is too small to introduce a lead
petrol pump filler. Use petrol with a rat-
ed octane number (R.O.N.) not lower
than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalyst leads
to harmful exhaust emissions, thus con-
tributing to air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol,
even in small amount or in an emergency,
as this would damage the catalyst beyond
repair.

❒extra-urban cycle: frequent accel-
erating in all gears, simulating extrau-
rban use of the car; the speed varies
between 0 and 120 km/h;
❒combined consumption: is calcu-
lated weighing about 37% of urban cy-
cle consumption and about 63% of
extraurban consumption.
FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the
table below are determined on the basis
of the homologation tests set down by
specific European Directives.
The procedures below are followed for
measuring consumption:
❒urban cycle: cold starting followed
by driving that simulates urban use of
the car;

IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic

control system, roof rack, other situations
that affect air drag may lead to different
