SIDE AIR BAGS
(SIDE BAG - WINDOW BAG)
The car is fitted with front side bags for driver and passenger for
protecting the chest, and window bags for protecting front and rear
passengers’ heads.
Side bags protect car occupants from side crashes of medium-high
severity, by placing the cushion between the occupant and the in-
ternal parts of the side structure of the car.
Non-activation of side bags in other types of collisions (front colli-
sions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc...) is not a system malfunction.
fig. 108A0K0081mfig. 109A0K0035m
FRONT SIDE BAGS fig. 108
These are comprised of two types of bags located in the front
back/rests, which protect the chest and pelvis area of passen-
gers in the event of a side impact of medium-high severity.
HEAD PROTECTION SIDE AIR BAGS
(WINDOW BAGS) fig. 109
It is formed by two "curtain" window bags are located behind the
side roof upholstery and are covered by special trimming.
They were designed to protect the head of front and rear passen-
gers in case of side collisions, thanks to the wide cushion inflation
surface.
The air bags are not deployed in the event of impact of low sever-
ity (for which the retaining action of the seat belts is sufficient).
It is therefore always necessary to wear seat belts.
In the event of a side impact, the system provides best protection
if the passenger sits on the seat in a correct position, thus allow-
ing correct window bag deployment.

SAVING FUEL
Here are some suggestions which may help you to save fuel and
lower the amount of harmful emissions released into the atmos-
phere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance with the
“Scheduled Servicing Plan” (see chapter “Servicing and mainte-
nance”).
Tyres
Check the tyre pressure at least once every 4 weeks: if the pres-
sure is too low, consumption levels increase as resistance to rolling
is higher.
Unnecessar y 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 decrease aerodynamic penetration and have a nega-
tive effect on fuel consumption. It is better to use a trailer to trans-
port particularly bulky objects.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount of time needed. The heat-
ed rear windscreen, additional headlights, windscreen wipers and
heater fan require a considerable amount of energy; increasing the
current uptake increases fuel consumption (by up to +25% in an
urban cycle).
Climate control system
Using the climate control system will increase consumption: use
the air vents when the external temperature so allows.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified spoilers may adversely affect aerodynam-
ics and fuel consumption.

BODYWORK
PROTECTION FROM ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS
The car is equipped with the best available technological solutions
to protect the bodywork against corrosion.
These are the most important:
❍paint products and systems which give the car resistance to cor-
rosion and abrasion;
❍use of galvanised (or pre-treated) steel sheets with high resis-
tance to corrosion;
❍spraying protective plastic materials in the most exposed ar-
eas: underdoor, inner mudguard parts, edges, etc.;
❍using “open” boxed sections to prevent condensation and pock-
ets of moisture from causing rust inside.
❍use of special films to protect against abrasion in exposed ar-
eas (e.g. rear wing, doors, etc.).
BODY AND UNDERBODY WARRANTY
Your car is covered by warranty against perforation, due to rust,
of any original element of the structure or bodywork. For the gen-
eral terms of this warranty, refer to your Warranty Booklet.
PRESERVING THE BODYWORK
Paint
Touch up abrasions and scratches immediately to prevent the for-
mation of rust.
Maintenance of paintwork consists of washing the car: the fre-
quency depends on the conditions and environment where the
car is used. For example, it is advisable to wash the car more of-
ten in areas with high environmental pollution or salted roads.
To correctly wash the car:
❍remove the aerial from the roof when using a carwash;
❍in washing stations keep the steam jet/high pressure washing
nozzles at least 40 cm away from the bodywork to prevent dam-
age. It should be remembered that a build up of water could
cause damage, in the long term, to the car.
❍wash the body using a low pressure jet of water;
❍wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy solution over the body-
work, frequently rinsing the sponge;
❍rinse well with water and dry with a jet of air or chamois leather.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the table below are deter-
mined on the basis of the homologation tests laid down by specific
European Directives.
The procedures below are followed for measuring consumption:
❍urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates
urban use of the car;
❍extra urban cycle: driving simulating the use of the vehicle in
a non-urban situation with frequent acceleration in all gears;
the speed varies between 0 and 120 km/h;
❍combined consumption: about 37% of the urban cycle and
around 63% of the non-urban cycle.IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic situations, weather conditions,
driving style, general conditions of the car, trim level/
equipment/accessories, load, climate control system, roof rack,
other situations that affect air drag may lead to different fuel con-
sumption levels than those measured.
