TRIP COMPUTERGeneral information
The Trip computer is used to display information
on car operation when the key is turned to
MAR-ON. Two separate trips, called “Trip A” and
“Trip B”, are provided to monitor the entire
mission (journey) in a reciprocally independent
manner.
Both functions can be reset (reset - start of a new
journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
❒Range
❒Distance covered
❒Average consumption
❒Instantaneous consumption
❒Average speed
❒Trip time (driving time).
“Trip B” is used to display the figures relating to:
❒Distance travelled B
❒Average consumption B
❒Average speed B
❒Trip time B (driving time).
NoteThe “Trip B” function may be disabled (see
“Activating Trip B”). The “Range” and “Instant
consumption" parameters cannot be reset.Values displayed
Range
This indicates the approximate distance which can
be travelled with the amount of fuel present in
thetank.“----”will appear on the display in the
following cases:
❒range value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
❒car parked with engine running for an extended
period.
IMPORTANT The range value variation can be
affected by several factors: driving style, type of
route (motorway, urban, mountain roads, etc.),
conditions of use (load, tyre pressures, etc.). Trip
planning must therefore take the above into
account.
Distance covered
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.

The fabric upholstery of your car has
been designed to withstand wear
deriving from common use of the car.You
are however recommended to avoid strong
and/or continuous scratching with clothing
accessories such as metal buckles, studs,Velcro
fastenings and the like, as these items cause
stress of the cover fabric that could lead to yarn
breaking and damage the upholstery.Once you have released the adjustment
lever, always check that the seat is
locked on the guides by trying to move it
back and for th. If the seat is not locked into
place, it may unexpectedly slide and cause the
driver to lose control of the car.
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Adjustment fig. 30 is possible with the ignition key
at MAR-ON position or for one minute with the
ignition key in STOP position or extracted.

FRONT SEATS WITHELECTRIC ADJUSTMENT

Seat heating fig. 31
(for versions/markets, where provided)
With the key turned to MAR-ON, press the
buttons shown in the figure to switch the function
on/off.
When the function is enabled, the LED on the
button turns on.
HEAD RESTRAINTSFRONT
These are height-adjustable and lock into place
automatically.
❒Upward adjustment: lift the head restraint until it
clicks into place.
❒Downward adjustment: press button A fig. 32
and lower the head restraint.
On some versions the front head restraints are
equipped with an “Anti-Whiplash” device, which
reduces the distance between head and head
restraint in the event of a rear shunt, thus
mitigating the “whiplash” effect.
The “Anti-Whiplash” type front head restraints may
move when the backrest is pressed by the
occupant's torso or hand. This behaviour is caused
by the system and should not be considered a
malfunction.
WARNING
Head restraints must be adjusted so
that the head, rather than the neck,
rests on them. Only when they are adjusted in
this manner can they serve their intended
purpose.
