To close
When the sunroof is in the fully opened position, press
button A-fig. 49; if the button is held down for more than
half a second, the front sunroof glass will automatically
move to the intermediate position (“Comfort” position).
If the button is pressed once again and held down for more
than half a second the sunroof will move to the spoiler po-
sition. Pressing the close button once again will complete-
ly close the sunroof.
fig. 49L0E0108m
If transverse roof racks are fitted use the sun-
roof only in the “spoiler” position. Do not open
the sunroof in the presence of snow or ice: it
may be damaged.
When leaving the car, always remove the key
from the ignition device to avoid the risk of
injury due to accidental operation of the sun-
roof; it presents a risk to those left on board: in-
correct use of the sunroof can be dangerous. Before
operation, always check that no-one is at risk of be-
ing injured by the moving sunroof or by objects get-
ting caught and dragged by it.
Anti-pinch device
The sunroof is fitted with an anti-pinch safety system that
detects the presence of an obstacle during sunroof clos-
ing travel and cuts in by stopping and reversing the sun-
roof travel. IMPORTANT During the sunroof closing manoeuvre the sun
blind will remain in the “fully open” position. If you would
like to close it, this must be done manually.

CLOSING THE TAILGATE fig. 56
To close, lower the tailgate and press down near the lock
until you hear it click. There are handles (B) provided
inside the tailgate to allow it to be closed more easily.

If you travel in areas with few filling stations
and you want to transport fuel in a spare
tank, respect the applicable laws, using on-
ly an approved, suitably secured tank. In the event
of a collision the fire risk is increased all the same.
Take care not to knock objects on the roof rack when
opening the tailgate.
Never exceed the maximum allowed load in
the luggage compartment; see chapter 6.
Make sure that the objects are arranged care-
fully in the luggage compartment so that they will
not be projected forwards following sudden brak-
ing. Do not travel with the tailgate open: exhaust
fumes could be introduced into the passenger com-
partment.

ROOF RACK/SKI RACK
FASTENERS
The attachments are located in the areas illustrated in
fig. 66 and can only be reached with the doors open.
Lineaccessori provides a specific roof rack/ski rack for the
tailgate.
IMPORTANT Carefully follow the instructions contained
in the assembly kit. Assembly must be performed by qual-
ified personnel.
fig. 66L0E0111m
Comply with applicable laws concerning
maximum overall dimensions.
Evenly distribute the load and when driving
take into account the increased sensitivity of
the car to side winds.
Never exceed the maximum permitted loads;
see chapter 6.

STARTING UP AND DRIVING171

Accessories fitted on longitudinal bars
Remove any accessories such as: longitudinal bars, ski
racks, luggage rack, from the roof if they are not being
used. These accessories decrease aerodynamic penetration
and have a negative effect on fuel consumption. It is bet-
ter to use a trailer to transport particularly bulky objects.
Electrical devices
Use electrical devices only for the amount of time needed.
The heated rear windscreen, additional headlights, wind-
screen wipers and heater fan need a considerable amount
of energy; increasing the requirement of current increas-
es fuel consumption (up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The climate control system leads to higher fuel consump-
tion (up to +20% on average): use air vents only when the
external temperature allows.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic items may adversely
affect air drag and fuel consumption levels.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine up with the car standing: the en-
gine warms up very slowly in these conditions, increas-
ing fuel consumption and emissions. It is advisable to start
off immediately and slowly keeping the engine speed
down: the engine will warm up much faster this way.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when starting at traffic lights or before
stopping the engine. The latter action, like doubling the
clutch, is unnecessary and causes increased fuel con-
sumption 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
fuel 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 in-
creases. Keep your speed as even as possible, avoiding un-
necessary braking and acceleration, which cause excessive
fuel consumption and increased emissions.

264TECHNICAL DATA
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 con-
sumption:
❍urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that sim-
ulates urban use of the car;
❍extra urban cycle: frequent acceleration in all gears,
simulating extra urban use of the car: speed varies be-
tween 0 and 120 km/h;❍combined fuel consumption: calculated based on about
37% of urban cycle consumption and about 63% of
extra urban consumption.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic situations, weath-
er conditions, driving style, general conditions of the car,
trim level/equipment/accessories, load, climate control
system, roof rack and other situations that affect air drag
may lead to different fuel consumption levels than those
measured.
