TRIP COMPUTER
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Trip computer is used to dis play information on car
operation when the ke y i s turned to MAR. This function
i s compos ed of separate trips , called “Trip A” and “Trip
B” which can monitor the entire mi ssion (journey) in a
reciprocally independent manner.
Both function s can be res et (reset means s tart of a new
journey ). “Trip A” is used to dis play the figures relat-
ing to:
– Range
– Trip dis tance
– Average cons umption
– Ins tantaneous consumption
– Average s peed
– Travel time (driving time).
– Trip A Res et
“Trip B” may be used to dis play the figures relating to:
– Dis tance travelled B
– Average cons umption B
– Average s peed B
– Trip time B (driving time).
– Trip B Res et N.B. “Trip B” ma
y be dis abled (s ee “Activating T
rip B”).
“Range” and “In stant cons umption” parameters cannot
be res et.

Range
This indicates the approximate di stance which can be trav-
elled with the amount of fuel pre sent in the tank. The di s-
play will s how the reading ‘----’ when the following events
take place:
– range value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– in cas e of car parked with engine running for an ex-
tended period.
IMPORTANT The range can be affected b y s everal fac-
tors : driving s ty le (s ee “Driving s ty le” in the “S tarting and
driving” chapter), ty pe of route (motorway , towns and
cities , mountain roads , etc.), conditions of use (load, ty re
pressures , etc.). Trip planning mus t therefore take the
above into account.

Average fuel consumption
This value s hows the approximate average fuel con-

This indicates any change in fuel con sumption. The val-

the car is parked with the engine running.

This value s hows the car’ s average s peed based on the

SAVING FUEL
Some useful tips are given below for saving fuel and re-
ducing harmful emissions of CO
2and other pollutants (ni-
trogen oxides, unburnt hydrocarbons, Particulate Matter
(PM), etc.).
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance
with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Ty r e s
Check the pressure of the tyres routinely at an interval of
no more than 4 weeks: if the pressure is too low, con-
sumption levels increase as resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded luggage compartment.
The weight of the car (especially when driving in town)
and its ride greatly affect consumption and stability. Accessories installed on longitudinal bars
Remove accessories like: roof racks, ski racks, luggage con-
tainer, etc. from the roof if they are no longer used. These
accessories lower aerodynamic penetration and adverse-
ly affect consumption levels. When transporting particu-
larly 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, wind-
screen/rear window wipers and heater fan need a con-
siderable amount of energy, therefore increasing fuel con-
sumption (by up to 25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control system
Using the climate control system leads to higher fuel con-
sumption (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 devices for aerodynamic control
may adversely affect air drag and consumption levels.

190STARTING AND DRIVING
DRIVING STYLE
Cranking
Do not warm up the engine at low or high revs when the
car is stationary: under these conditions the engine warms
up much more slowly, increasing consumption and emis-
sions. It is therefore advisable to move off immediately,
slowly, avoiding high speeds: in this way the engine will
warm up more quickly.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when at traffic lights or before stopping
the engine. The latter action, like double-declutching, is
completely unnecessary and causes increased fuel con-
sumption and pollution.
Gear selection
As soon as the conditions of the traffic and road permit,
use a higher gear. Using a low gear for faster accelera-
tion will increase consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high gear increases con-
sumption, emissions and engine wear.
Max. speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases as speed in-
creases. Maintain a constant speed, avoiding unnecessary
braking and acceleration, which cost in terms of both fu-
el consumption and emissions.Acceleration
Accelerating violently will greatly affect consumption and
emissions: acceleration should be gradual.
CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short journeys and frequent cold starts do not allow the
engine to reach optimum operating temperature. This re-
sults in a significant increase in consumption levels (from
+15 to +30% on the urban cycle) and emissions.
Traffic and road conditions
Rather high fuel consumption is caused by heavy traffic,
for instance when travelling in a queue with frequent use
of low gears or in large towns with many traffic lights.
Mountain and rough roads also have a negative effect on
fuel consumption.
Stops in traffic
During prolonged stops (e.g. level crossings) the engine
should be switched off.

In case of emergency, if lubricants with the prescribed specifications are not available, products with the minimum indicated ACEA
performance can be used for topping up; in this case optimal performance\
of the engine is not guaranteed.
FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS
Your car is equipped with an engine oil that has been thoroughly developed and tested in order to meet the requirements
of the Scheduled Servicing Plan. Constant use of the prescribed lubricants guarantees the fuel consumption and emis-
sion specifications. Lubricant quality is crucial for engine operation a\
nd duration.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption values 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 con-
sumption:
❍urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that sim-
ulates urban use of the car;
❍ extra-urban cycle: frequent accelerating in all gears,
simulating extra-urban use of the car; speed varies be-
tween 0 and 120 km/h;
❍ combined consumption: the weighting is around 37%
urban cycle and 63% extra-urban cycle. IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic situations, weath-
er conditions, driving style, general conditions of the car,
trim level/equipment/accessories, climate control system
use, load, roof rack, other situations that affect air drag
may lead to different fuel consumption levels than those
measured.
