Car status indications (e.g. doors open, possible
ice on road, etc.)On some versions the display shows the turbine

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
The GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) system advises the
driver to change gear through a specific indication
on the control panel fig. 7. Through the GSI, the
driver is notified that changing gear will allow
a reduction in fuel consumption.
When the SHIFT UP icon (
SHIFT) is shown on
the display, the GSI is advising the driver to
engage a higher gear, while the SHIFT DOWN (
SHIFT) icon advises the driver to engage a
lower gear.
The indication in the instrument panel remains on
until the driver changes gear or the driving
conditions return to a situation where changing
gear is not required to improve consumption.

Note“Trip B” may be disabled (see “Activating
Trip B”). “Range” and “Instantaneous fuel
consumption" parameters cannot be reset.
Values displayed
Range
This indicates the approximate distance which can
be travelled with the present amount of fuel in
the tank. The message “----” will appear on the
display in the following cases:
❒range value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
❒car parked with engine running for a long
period.
IMPORTANT The range value variation can be
affected by several factors: driving style, type
of route (motorway, towns and cities, mountain
roads, etc.), conditions of use (load, tyre pressures,
etc.). Trip planning must therefore take the above
into account.
Distance travelled
Shows the distance covered since the start of the
new journey.
Average consumption
Shows the approximate average fuel consumption
since the start of the new journey.Instantaneous consumption
This indicates the fuel consumption. The value is
constantly updated.. The display will show "----"
if the car is parked with the engine running.
Average speed
This shows the car average speed as a function of
the overall time elapsed since the start of the
new mission.
Trip time
Shows the time elapsed since the start of a new
journey.
Indications on display
Each time a value is displayed, the following
information is shown fig. 9:
❒A - animated icon in the upper part;
❒B - name, value and unit of measure of the
selected parameter (e.g. "Range 150 km");
❒C - the word "Trip" (or "Trip A" or "Trip B").
After a few seconds the name and value of the
selected parameter are replaced by an icon fig. 10.
The icons relating to the various parameters are
the following:
❒
"Range";
❒
"Average consumption A” (if Trip A is
active, or “B” if Trip B is active);
❒
"Distance" (if Trip A is active, or
“B” if Trip B is active);

For diesel engines, use only diesel fuel
for motor vehicles in accordance with
EN590 European specifications. The
use of other products or mixtures may damage
the engine beyond repair and consequently
invalidate the warranty, depending on the
damage caused. If you accidentally refuel with
another type of fuel, do not start the engine,
and drain the fuel tank. If the engine has been
run, even for only a very short time, you will
need to have the entire fuel system emptied in
addition to the tank.
REFUELLING CAPACITY
To fill the tank completely, top up twice after the
pump switches off. Further top-ups could cause
faults in the fuel feeding system.
REFUELLING PROCEDURE FOR VERSIONS
EQUIPPED WITH FUEL TANK PLUG
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Refuel as follows:
❒open the flap A fig. 84 pulling it outwards;
❒keep the plug B still, insert the ignition key in
the lock and turn it anticlockwise;
❒Turn the plug anticlockwise and remove it.The plug has a device C fig. 84 that attaches it to
the flap so that it cannot be lost. When refilling,
attach the plug to the flap, as shown.
After refuelling, fit the plug B fig. 84 (complete
with key) and turn it clockwise until it clicks once
or more. Turn the key clockwise and remove it.
Close the flap A.
The sealing may cause a slight pressure increase in
the tank. A little breathing off, while unscrewing
the plug or introducing the gun in the versions
equipped with "Smart Fuel", is therefore
absolutely normal.

WARNINGS FOR VERSIONS EQUIPPED
WITH "Smart Fuel"
WARNING
At the end of the filler do not apply
any object/plug which
is not provided
for for the car. The use of non compliant
objects/plugs could cause a pressure
increase inside the tank, generating
dangerous situations.
WARNING
Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to
the fuel filler: fire
risk. Keep your face away from the fuel filler
to prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
IMPORTANT If the filler compartment is washed
with a high pressure jet, keep it at a distance of
at least 20 cm.
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENTThe following devices are used for reducing petrol
fuel engine emissions: catalytic converter, oxygen
sensors and evaporation control system
Do not let the engine run, even for a test, with one
or more spark plugs disconnected.
The following devices are used for reducing diesel
fuel engine emissions: oxidising catalytic
converter, exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR)
and particulate filter (DPF).
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is a mechanical filter, fitted in the exhaust
system, which almost completely eliminates
carbon particle emissions.
WARNING
During normal service, the catalytic
converter and the
diesel particulate
filter (DPF) reach high temperatures. Do not
therefore park the car over inflammable
materials (grass, dry leaves, pine needles,
etc.): fire hazard.

WARNING
Press the clutch pedal fully to change
gears correctly.
It is therefore
essential that there is nothing under the
pedals: make sure the mats are lying flat and
do not get in the way of the pedals.Do not drive with your hand resting on
the gear lever as the force exerted,
even if slight, could lead over time to
premature wear of the gearbox internal
components.
FUEL SAVINGSHere are some suggestions which may help you to
save fuel and lower the amount of harmful
emissions released into the atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in
accordance with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressure at least once every 4
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 car and its arrangement 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 lower aerodynamic
penetration and adversely affect consumption
levels. When transporting particularly large
objects, use a trailer if possible.
