MAINTENANCE
INDICATORIt regulates the intervals between the main-
tenance operations based on vehicle use.
Functioning
As soon as the starting key is inserted and
for a few seconds, the maintenance key lights
up and which indicates the maintenance op-
erations; the total odometer display indicates
the number of kilometres {rounded down}
which can be covered until the next main-
tenance operation. The maintenance expiry
dates are calculated starting from the last re-
setting of the indicator.
This expiry date is determined by means
of two parameters:❒
the distance in kilometres covered
❒
time which has passed since the last
maintenance operation.
The distance in kilometres
which remains to be covered
can be considered by the time
factor, based on the driver’s
driving habits.

OIL OK
F0P0356m
Maintenance expiry date over
1,000 km
Example: one can still travel 4,800 km be-
fore the next maintenance operation. Af-
ter having turned the starting key to the
Mposition and for a few seconds, the dis-
play indicates:
A few seconds after having turned the
starting key to the Mposition, the oil lev-
el is shown, therefore the total odometer
works again and it indicates the total and
daily amount of kilometres travelled.
Maintenance expiry date less than
1,000 km
After having turned the starting key to the
Mposition and for a few seconds, the
maintenance key flashes and the remain-
ing number of kilometres is shown.ENGINE OIL LEVEL
INDICATOR
Turning the starting key to the
Mposition, the instrument, after having
shown the kilometres to be covered be-
fore the next maintenance operation, sup-
plies the synchronised indication of the oil
level present in the engine oil pan. The
flashing of the word “OIL”, accompanied
by a beeping and by a message, indicates
an insufficient quantity of oil in the engine.
The flashing of the word “OIL –“ indicates
a problem with the engine oil sensor.
Maintenance Expiry date exceeded
After having turned the
starting key to the Mposi-
tion and for a few seconds,
the maintenance key flashes
and the number of kilome-
tres
travelled after the expiry date of the main-
tenance operation is shown.
When the engine is running, the
maintenance key remains
switch until the maintenance
operation has been carried out.
Before the two expiry dates are reached:
the maintenance key lights up also when
the expiry date of two years has been ex-
ceeded.

OF THE VEHICLE
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from
the roof as soon as they are no longer
used. These accessories lower air pene-
tration and adversely affect consumption
levels. When needing to carry particular-
ly voluminous objects, preferably use a
trailer.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount
of time needed. Rear heated window, ad-
ditional headlights, windscreen wipers and
heater fan need a considerable amount of
energy, therefore increasing the require-
ment of current increases fuel consump-
tion (up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The air conditioner is an additional load
which greatly affects the engine leading to
higher consumption (on average up to
+20%). When the temperature outside
the vehicle permits it, use the air vents
where possible.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic
items may adversely affect air drag and
consumption levels.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine when the vehi-
cle is stationary or at high or low speed:
in this way the engine will warm up grad-
ually increasing consumption and emis-
sions. You should drive off slowly straight
away avoiding high revs so that the engine
will warm up more quickly.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid accelerating when waiting at traffic
lights or before switching off the engine.
This and also double declutching is ab-
solutely pointless on modern vehicles and
also increase consumption and pollution.
Gear selections
As soon as the conditions of the traffic and
road allow, use a higher gear. Using a low
gear to obtain brilliant performance in-
creases consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high
gear increases consumption, emissions an
engine wear.
CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTSSome suggestions which may help you to
keep the running costs of the vehicle
down and lower the amount of toxic emis-
sions released into the atmosphere are
given below.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Vehicle maintenance
Carry out the checks and adjustments/reg-
ulations specified in the “Service Sched-
ule”.
Tyres
Check tyre inflation pressure regularly.
Tyres should be checked at least once
every four weeks: if the pressure is too
low, fuel consumption increases as the re-
sistance to the rolling movement of the
tyre is greater.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much load.
The weight of the vehicle (specially in ur-
ban traffic) and its trim greatly effects con-
sumption and stability.
