DIRECTION
INDICATORS fig. 61
Up = right indicator.

The
¥or Îwarning light flashes on
the instrument panel.
The direction indicators are
switched off automatically when the
steering wheel is straightened.
If you want the indicator to flash
briefly to show that you are about
to change lane, turning the wheel
only slightly, move the stalk up or
down without clicking into position
(unstable position).
When released the stalk will return
to its initial position.“FOLLOW ME

removed, pull the stalk towards the
steering wheel and move it within
2 minutes after the engine stops.
Each time the stalk is moved, the
lights stay on for a further 30
seconds up to a maximum of 210
seconds; then the lights are switched
off automatically.
The display shows the time set.Deactivation

WINDOW CLEANING
The right stalk fig. 63 controls
windscreen wiper/washer and
heated rear window wiper/washer
operation.
WINDSCREEN
WASHER/WIPER
This operates only with the ignition
key turned to MAR.
The stalk has five different positions
(4 speed levels):
0 windscreen wiper off.
1 intermittent operation.
2 continuous slow operation.3 continuous fast operation.
4 temporary fast operation
(unstable position).
Temporary fast operation lasts as
long as you manually keep the stalk
in that position.
The lever returns to position 0
when it is released, automatically
stopping the windscreen wipers.
Windscreen wiper speed
reduction according to vehicle
speed (for versions/markets,
where provided)
On some versions, when
decelerating until the vehicle stops,
the windscreen wiper will slow
down automatically by one level.
The speed will be resumed
automatically when the vehicle speed
exceeds 10 km/h. It is possible to
manually change the windscreen
wiper speed at any time.

“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) to operate
the windscreen washer.
Keep the lever pulled to activate
both the windscreen washer jet and
the windscreen wiper with a single
movement; the latter turns on
automatically if you keep the lever
pulled for more than half a second.
The windscreen wiper stops
operating a few strokes after
releasing the stalk; a further
“cleaning stroke”, after a few
seconds, completes the wiping
operation.

Check the alignment of
the light beams each
time the weight of the load
transported changes.
WARNINGABS SYSTEM
This is an integral part of the braking
system, which prevents one or more
wheels from locking or slipping
regardless of the road surface
conditions and braking intensity,
ensuring control of the vehicle even
during emergency braking.
The EBD system (Electronic Braking
Force Distribution) completes the
system, allowing the brake force to
be distributed between the front and
rear wheels.
IMPORTANT For maximum
efficiency of the braking system, a
bedding-in period of about 500 km is
required: during this period it is
better to avoid sharp, repeated and
prolonged braking.SYSTEM INTERVENTION
The driver can feel that the ABS
system has come into action because
the brake pedal pulsates slightly and
the system gets noisier: it means that
the speed of the vehicle should be
altered to suit the type of road
surface.

To engage reverse (R), wait for the
vehicle to stop and, from neutral,
move the lever to the right and then
backwards, lifting ring A of the
reverse inhibitor device.
Fully depress the clutch
pedal to change gears
correctly. Therefore, the floor
area underneath the clutch
pedal must not be obstructed
in any way. Ensure that the
floor mat is always laid flat
and does not interfere with use
of the pedals.
WARNING
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 internal gearbox
components.
The clutch pedal must be used
only for gear changes. Do not
drive with your foot resting on
the clutch pedal, however
lightly.
For versions/markets where
provided, the electronic clutch
control could intervene,
interpreting the incorrect driving
style as a fault.LOADING ADVICE
The vehicle has been designed and
type approved on the basis of
certain maximum weights (see
“Weights” table in the “Technical
Specifications” section):
– kerb weight
– payload
– maximum weight on front axle
– maximum weight on rear axle
– towable weight.
Each of these limits
must be kept firmly in
mind and, in any event, never
exceeded.
