WINDOW CLEANING
IN BRIEF
The right lever fig. 64 controls
activation of the windscreen
wiper/washer and, where provided,
activation of headlight washers and
rain sensor.
This operates only with the ignition
key turned to MAR-ON.
WINDSCREEN
WIPER/WASHER
The right hand lever can take up five
different positions:Awindscreen wiper off.Bintermittent operation.
With the stalk in position B, turn ring
nut F to select one of four different
speeds for the intermittent operation
mode:
very slow intermittent operation.
--
slow intermittent operation.
---
medium intermittent operation.
----
fast intermittent operation.
Ccontinuous slow operation.Dcontinuous fast operation.Etemporary fast operation (unstable
position).Temporary fast operation in position E
is limited to the time that the lever is
manually held in this position. The lever
returns to position A when it is
released, automatically stopping the
windscreen wipers.
3)
IMPORTANT Replace the wiper blades
as specified in the “Maintenance and
care” section.“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) to operate the
windscreen washer fig. 65.
Keeping the lever pulled for more than
half a second, with just one movement
it is possible to operate the washer
jet and the wiper at the same time.
The wiper stops working three strokes
after the stalk is released.
A further stroke after approximately 6
seconds completes the cycle.

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

The system condition can always be
shown on the display.
The system displaying includes the
following two steps:
❒All new traffic signs that can be
recognised are displayed as pop-ups
for 40 seconds over the other
signallings.
❒After the preset time, they are
displayed in the dedicated screen on
the panel.
The system can display two traffic signs
(speed limit and no overtaking) at the
same time in the two dedicated areas
of the panel.
If an additional traffic sign is detected,
e.g. a reduced speed limit for wet
road conditions, this is displayed as an
empty box under the relevant sign.The additional signs are filtered as
follows:
❒The additional sign for "snow" or
"rain" will not be displayed if the
outside temperature is over 3°C.
❒The additional sign for "snow" or
"rain" or "cloudy" will not be
displayed if the windscreen wipers
are off and the outside temperature is
below 3°C.
❒The additional sign for "truck" will not
be displayed if the vehicle weighs
less than 4-4.5 t.
❒The speed limit sign will not be
displayed if coupled with the
additional "tractor" sign.
WARNING
78) If the camera loses its position
due to a load variation, the system
may not work temporarily to allow
the camera to perform an
autocalibration.
79) The system only detects the
preset traffic signs. If the
minimum visibility conditions and
distance from the sign are met
it can detect all traffic signs.80) The system is a driving
assistance system but it does not
relieve the driver of the
responsibility of driving with due
attention and diligence in
compliance with the laws in force.
81) When the system is active, the
driver is responsible for
controlling the vehicle and
monitoring the system, and must
intervene as appropriate if
necessary.
IMPORTANT
9) If the sensor is blocked, the
system may not work.
10) In the case of low temperatures
or harsh weather conditions, the
system may not work.
11) Rain, snow, splashes and strong
light contrast may influence the
sensor.
12) Do not repair the area of the
windscreen directly surrounding
the sensor.
13) If the vehicle is equipped with a
non-genuine suspension kit, the
system may not work correctly.

SAVING FUELSome useful tips are given below for
fuel saving and reducing harmful
emissions of CO2 and other pollutants
(nitrogen oxides, unburnt
hydrocarbons, Particulate Matter (PM),
etc.).
GENERAL
CONSIDERATIONS
The general factors that affect fuel
consumption are listed below.
Vehicle maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried
out in accordance with the “Scheduled
Servicing Plan”.Tyres
Check the tyre pressures at least once
every four weeks: if the pressure is
too low, consumption levels increase as
resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded
luggage compartment. The weight of
the vehicle (especially when driving
in town) and its geometry 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 of the vehicle and have a
negative effect on fuel consumption.
When transporting particularly large
objects, use a trailer if possible.Electric devices
Use electrical devices only for the
amount of time needed. The heated
rear window, additional headlights,
windscreen/rear window wipers and
heater fan need a considerable amount
of energy, therefore increasing fuel
consumption (by up to 25% in
the urban cycle).
Climate control system
Air conditioning leads to higher fuel
consumption (on average up to +20%).
If the temperature outside permits, try
and use the ventilation only.
Devices for
aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified spoilers may
adversely affect air drag and fuel
consumption.

STARTING AND DRIVING

WARNING
188) Remember that the road
holding qualities of your vehicle
also depend on the correct
inflation pressure of the tyres.
189) If the pressure is too low, the
tyre will overheat and could be
seriously damaged.
190) Avoid switching the tyres from
the right side of the vehicle to the
left side and vice versa.
191) Never submit alloy rims to
repainting treatments requiring
the use of temperatures
exceeding 150°C. The mechanical
properties of the wheels could
be impaired.
RUBBER HOSESAs far as the brake system and fuel
supply system rubber hoses are
concerned, follow the "Scheduled
Servicing Plan" in this chapter carefully.
Ozone, high temperatures and
prolonged lack of fluid in the system
may cause hardening and cracking of
the hoses, with possible leaks. Careful
checking is therefore necessary.
WINDSCREEN
WIPERBLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using
special products; TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is
recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is
deformed or worn. In any case, it is
advisable to replace them
approximately once a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce
the possibility of damage to the blades:
❒if the temperature falls below zero,
make sure that ice has not frozen
the rubber against the glass. Use a
de-icing product to release it if
required;
❒remove any snow from the glass: in
addition to protecting the blades,
this prevents effort on the motor and
overheating;
❒do not operate the windscreen and
rear window wipers on dry glass.
