position.
After opening in spoiler position, press button A
again for more than half a second to bring the roof
automatically to fully closed position. Automatic
movement can be interrupted in any position by
pressing button A again.
Do not open the sun roof if a transverse
roof rack is fitted. Do not open the sun
roof if there is snow or ice on it : you may
damage it .
WARNING

To engage 6
th
gear (for versions/markets where
provided), push firmly to the right when operating
the lever in order to avoid selecting 4
th
gear by
mistake. The same applies to the shift from 6
th
to 5
th
gear.
IMPORTANT Reverse can only be engaged when the
car is completely stationary. With the engine
running, wait for at least 2 seconds with the clutch
pedal fully pressed before engaging reverse to
prevent damage to the gears and grating.
IMPORTANT The clutch pedal should 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 cut in, interpreting the incorrect
driving style as a fault.
WARNING
Depress the clutch pedal fully to change
gear 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.
SAVING FUELHere are some suggestions which can help you to
save fuel and lower harmful emissions.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in
accordance with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Ty r e s
Check the tyre pressures 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 ski rack from the roof if not
in use. These accessories lower aerodynamic
penetration and adversely affect consumption levels.
When transporting particularly large objects, use a
trailer if possible.

FUEL CONSUMPTIONThe fuel consumption figures given in the table below are determined on the basis of the type-approval 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: frequent accelerating in all gears, simulating extra-urban use of the car: speed varies
between 0 and 120 km/h;
❒combined fuel consumption: calculated with a weighting of approximately 37% of the urban cycle and 63%
of the extra-urban cycle.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic conditions, weather conditions, driving style, general condition of the
car, trim level/equipment/accessories, use of the climate control system, car load, presence of roof racks
and other situations that adversely affect the aerodynamics or wind resistance lead to different fuel
consumption figures than those measured.
IMPORTANT The fuel consumption will get more regular only after having driven the first 3000 km.

VOICE COMMANDSUSE OF THE VOICE COMMANDS
Please follow the suggestions below to be sure that
the voice commands are always recognised by the
system:
❒speak at a normal volume;
❒always wait for the "beep" before speaking;
❒the system is capable of recognising the voice
commands given, irrespective of gender, by the
tone of voice and intonation of the person giving
the instructions;
❒if possible, try and keep the noise in the passenger
compartment to a minimum;
❒before giving voice commands, ask other
passengers not to talk. This is to prevent
misunderstanding since the system may recognise
other words (in addition to or different from your
voice command) if several people are speaking;
❒for optimum operation it is advisable to close the
windows and the sun roof (for versions/markets,
where provided) to avoid external interference.
IMPORTANT Voice commands must always be given
in safe driving conditions, in compliance with the laws
in force in the country where you are driving and
using the mobile phone correctly.USE OF STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS TO
ACTIVATE VOICE COMMANDS
