INSTRUMENTS
The instrument background colour and type may
vary according to the version.
SPEEDOMETER (speed indicator)
This shows the speed of the vehicle fig. 8.
REV COUNTER
The rev counter fig. 9 shows the number of engine
revolutions per minute.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection control system
gradually shuts off the flow of fuel when the engine
is over-revving, resulting in a gradual loss of engine
power.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter may
indicate a gradual or sudden increase of the engine
speed.This is normal and does not indicate a fault. It may be
caused, for example, by the operation of the climate
control system or the fan. In these cases, a gradual
variation in revs is used to protect the battery
charge.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
The needle shows the amount of fuel left in the tank.
Warning light A fig. 10 switches on to indicate that
6 to 7 litres of fuel are left in the the tank.
E - tank empty.
F - tank full (see the description in paragraph "Vehicle
refuelling" in this chapter).
Do not travel with the tank nearly empty to prevent
damaging the catalytic converter.

Window demisting
In the event of considerable external moisture
and/or rain and/or large differences in the
temperature inside and outside the passenger
compartment, perform the following preventive
window demisting procedure:
❒take the slider B to
❒turn knob A to
❒turn knob C to 2
❒turn knob D to
with the option of moving to
position
if there is no sign of the windows
steaming up.
REGULATING THE FAN SPEED
To ventilate the passenger compartment properly,
proceed as follows:
❒fully open the central and side air vents
❒knob A turned to blue section
❒take the slider B to
❒turn knob C to the required speed
❒turn knob D to
INTERNAL AIR RECIRCULATION
ACTIVATION
Take the slider B to
.
It is advisable to switch the internal air recirculation
on while standing in queues or in tunnels to prevent
the introduction of polluted air.
Do not use the function for a long time, particularly
if there are several passengers on board, to prevent
the windows from steaming up.
IMPORTANT IMPORTANT The air recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the required
heating or cooling conditions faster. Do not use the
air recirculation function on rainy/cold days as it
would considerably increase the possibility of the
windows misting.
CLIMATE CONTROL (cooling)
Proceed as follows:
❒knob A turned to blue section
❒turn knob C to
❒take the slider B to
❒turn knob D to

SAVING FUEL
Here are some useful tips to save fuel and minimise
harmful emissions of CO2 and other pollutants
(nitric oxides, unburnt hydrocarbons, fine dusts etc.).
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
General conditions which influence fuel consumption
are shown below.
Vehicle maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in
accordance with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Ty r e s
Check the tyre pressure at least once every four
weeks: if the pressure is too low, consumption levels
increase as resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight
of the vehicle (especially when driving in town)
and its trim greatly affect fuel consumption
and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof
after use. These accessories reduce the aerodynamic
coefficient of the vehicle and have a negative effect
on fuel consumption. It is better to use a trailer
to transport particularly bulky objects.Electric devices
Use electrical devices only for the amount of time
needed. The heated rear window, auxiliary
headlights, windscreen wipers and fan heater use up
a considerable amount of current, causing increased
fuel consumption (up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control system
The air conditioner leads to higher fuel consumption
(on average up to +20%). If the temperature outside
is not too extreme, try and use the air vents.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified spoilers may adversely affect
aerodynamics and fuel consumption.
DRIVING STYLE
The main driving styles affecting fuel consumption
are shown below.
Starting
Do not warm up the engine at low or high revs when
the vehicle is stationary; this causes the engine to
warm up more slowly, thereby increasing fuel
consumption and emissions. It is advisable to set off
immediately and slowly, avoiding high revs: this allows
the engine to warm up more quickly.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures, given in the table below, are determined on the basis of the homologation tests
laid down by specific European Directives.
The procedures below are followed for measuring consumption:
❒urban cycle: begins with cold starting, then follows a driving path simulating the usage of the vehicle in town
❒extra-urban cycle: driving that simulates using the vehicle out of town with frequent acceleration in all
gears; the speed varies from 0 to 120 km/h
❒combined fuel consumption: calculated with a weighting of approximately 37% of the urban cycle and 63%
of the extra-urban cycle.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic conditions, weather conditions, driving style, general condition of the
vehicle, trim level/equipment/accessories, use of the climate control, vehicle load, presence of roof racks
and other situations that adversely affect the aerodynamics or wind resistance lead to different fuel
consumption figures than those measured.
Fuel consumption according to the current European directive (litres x 100 km)
