Never extract the key while the vehicle is
moving. The steering wheel should lock au-
tomatically as soon as it is turned. This is always
the case, even when the vehicle is being towed.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any
aftersales operation involving steering sys-
tem or steering column modifications (e.g. installing
an anti-theft device) that could badly affect per-
formance and safety, invalidate the warranty and
also result in the vehicle failing to comply with reg-
ulations.
WARNING
When getting out of the vehicle, always re-
move the key to prevent someone from
accidentally activating the controls. Remember to
engage the handbrake. Engage first gear if the ve-
hicle is parked uphill or reverse gear if the vehi-
cle is parked downhill. Never leave children un-
attended in the vehicle.

Values displayed
Range
Shows the approximate distance the vehicle can travel with
the amount of fuel left in the tank. The display will show
the reading “----” when the following events take place:
– range is lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– vehicle is left parked with the engine running for a long
time.
WARNING The range can be affected by several factors:
driving style (see “Driving style” in the “Starting and dri-
ving” section), type of route (motorway, towns and cities,
mountain roads, etc.), conditions of use (load, tyre pres-
sures, etc.). Trip planning must therefore take the above
into account.
Distance travelled
Shows the distance covered since the start of the new jour-
ney.
Average consumption
Shows the approximate average fuel consumption since
the start of the new journey.
Current consumption
Shows the constantly updated fuel consumption. The read-
ing “----” appears on the display if the vehicle is parked with
the engine running.
Average speed
Shows the average speed of the vehicle by using the over-
all time elapsed since the start of a new journey.TRIP COMPUTER
General information
The Trip computer is used to display information on ve-
hicle operation when the ignition key is turned to MAR.
This function allows you to define two separate trips, called
“Trip A” and “Trip B”, for monitoring the vehicle’s „com-
plete mission” (journey) in a reciprocally independent man-
ner. Both functions can be reset (reset – start of a new
journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
– Range
– Distance travelled
– Average consumption
– Instant consumption
– Average speed
– Travel time (driving time).
“Trip B”, available on multifunction display only, is used to
display the figures relating to:
– Distance travelled B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Travel time B (driving time).
N.B. “Trip B” may be disabled (see “Activating Trip B”).
“Range” and “Instant consumption” parameters cannot be
reset.

Memorizing vehicle speed
Proceed as follows:
❒turn twist switch A-fig. 48 to ON and depress the ac-
celerator pedal until the vehicle reaches the required
speed;
❒move the stalk upwards (+) for at least one second,
then release it. The vehicle speed is now memorised
and you can therefore release the accelerator pedal.
If necessary (when overtaking for instance) acceleration is
possible by simply pressing the accelerator pedal: releas-
ing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle will return to the
speed memorised previously.
CRUISE CONTROL
(for versions/markets where provided)
This is an electronic driving aid that allows you to drive
at a speed of above 30 km/h on long and straight dry roads
with few driving changes (e.g. motorways) at a preset speed
without having to press the accelerator pedal. Therefore
it is not recommended to use this device on extra-urban
roads with traffic. Do not use it in town.
Switching the device on
Turn the twist switch A - fig. 48 to ON.
When the device is activated, the warning light Ücomes
on together with the relevant message in the instrument
panel (for versions/markets where provided).
The speed adjustment function cannot be activated in 1st
or reverse gear; it is advisable to activate the function in
4th or higher gears.
When travelling downhill with the device activated, the ve-
hicle speed may exceed the memorised one.
