STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition key to STOP while the engine is
idling.
IMPORTANT After a taxing drive, before turning
the engine off you should allow it to idle to allow
the temperature in the engine compartment to fall.
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.
PARKINGSwitch off the engine and engage the handbrake.
Engage a gear (first gear if parked uphill or
reverse if facing downhill) and leave the wheels
turned. If the car is parked on a steep slope block
the wheels with a wedge or stone. Always remove
the ignition key when leaving the car.
HANDBRAKE
To engage the handbrake pull lever A fig. 108
upwards until the car is secured. To release the
handbrake, raise the lever A slightly, press and
hold the button B and lower the lever.
If the car is parked on a steep slope, it is also
advisable to block the wheels with a wedge or
stone.

CD MP3 PLAYERINTRODUCTION
This chapter only describes the variants regarding
the operation of the CD MP3 player: as far as the
operation of the radio is concerned, refer to the
description in chapters "Radio" and "CD MP3
Player".
NOTE MPEG Layer-3 audio decoding technology
licensed from Fraunhofer IIS and Thomson
multimedia.
MP3 MODE
In addition to playing regular audio CDs, the radio
is also able to play CD-ROMs on which audio files
have been recorded using the MP3 compression
format. The radio functions as described in the
"CD Player" chapter when an ordinary audio CD
is inserted.
To guarantee optimal playback quality it is
advisable to use good quality CDs mastered at the
lowest speed possible.
The files on an MP3 CD are structured in folders
that create lists of all the folders containing MP3
tracks (folders and subfolders are all displayed on
the same level); the folders that do not contain
MP3 tracks cannot be selected.
The operating conditions and specifications for
playing MP3 files are as follows:
