IMPORTANT A label with a description
of the above engine hood opening/closing
operations is located under the engine
hood (see fig. 89).
The bonnet must always be
perfectly closed during trav-
el for safety reasons. Make sure that
the bonnet is perfectly closed and
that the lock is engaged. If you dis-
cover that the bonnet is not perfect-
ly closed during travel, stop immedi-
ately and close the bonnet in the cor-
rect manner.

Divide the cargo uniformly and
consider higher vehicle sensi-

LONGITUDINAL BARS fig. 91
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Some versions of the vehicle feature two
longitudinal bars that can be used for car-
rying different types of objects (e.g. skis,
windsurf, etc…) with the addition of spe-
cific accessories.

STARTING

Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from
the roof after use. These accessories de-
crease aerodynamic penetration of the ve-
hicle and have a negative effect on fuel
consumption. It is better to use a trailer
to transport particularly bulky objects.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount
of time needed. The rear heated window,
additional headlights, windscreen wipers
and heater fan need a considerable
amount of energy, therefore increasing fu-
el consumption (up to +25% in the urban
cycle).
Climate control
The climate control system leads to high-
er fuel consumption (up to +20% on av-
erage): use air vents only when the ex-
ternal temperature allows it.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified spoilers may ad-
versely affect air drag and fuel consump-
tion levels.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine up with the ve-
hicle running at min. or max. rpm: the en-
gine warms up very slowly in these con-
ditions, increasing consumption and emis-
sions. It is advisable to start off immedi-
ately and slowly keeping the engine speed
down: the engine will warm up much
faster this way.
Unnecessary manoeuvres
Avoid revving up when starting at traffic
lights or before stopping the engine. The
latter manoeuvre, like doubling the clutch,
is unnecessary and causes increased fuel
consumption and pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic and road
conditions allow. Using a low gear for faster
acceleration will increase consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high gear
increases fuel consumption, emissions and
engine wear.
Top speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases as
speed increases. Keep your speed as uni-
form as possible, avoiding unnecessary
braking and acceleration which cause ex-
cessive fuel consumption and increase emis-
sions.Acceleration
Sudden acceleration has a very negative
effect on consumptions and emissions: ac-
celerate gradually.
CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short distances and frequent cold start-
ups will prevent the engine from reach-
ing optimal running temperature.
Consequently, both consumption (from
+15 to +30% on urban cycle ) and emis-
sions will increase.
Traffic and road conditions
Quite high consumption is caused by
heavy traffic, for instance when travelling
in a queue with frequent use of low gears
or in cities with many traffic lights. Moun-
tain and rough roads also have a negative
effect on consumption.
Traffic hold-ups
During prolonged hold-ups (e.g. level cross-
ings) the engine should be switched off.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the
table below are determined on the basis
of the type-approval tests set down by
specific European Directives. IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic
and weather conditions, driving style, gen-
eral conditions of the vehicle, trim lev-
el/equipment/accessories, load, climate
control system, roof rack, other situations
that affect air drag may lead to different
fuel consumption levels than those mea-
sured. The procedures below are followed for
measuring consumption:❒urban cycle: cold starting followed by
driving that simulates urban use of the
vehicle;
❒extraurban cycle: frequent acceler-
ations in all gears, simulating extraur-
ban use of the vehicle: speed varies be-
tween 0 and 120 km/h;
❒combined consumption: calculated
weighing about 37% of urban cycle con-
sumption and about 63% of extraurban
consumption.
