WINDOW CLEANING
IN BRIEF
The right lever fig. 64 controls
activationof 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.

RECOGNITION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
78) 83) 84) 85)
10) 11) 12) 13) 14) 15) 16)
The system automatically detects the
recognisable traffic signs: speed limits,
no overtaking signs and signs indicating
the end of such prohibitions.
The camera is fitted behind the internal
rear view mirror. The sensor always
checks the traffic signs indicating the
current speed limit and possible no
overtaking signs.
IMPORTANT The system is designed to
read signs complying with the
specifications of the Vienna convention.
USE OF THE TRAFFIC
SIGN RECOGNITION
System switching on
and off
The system can be activated/
deactivated using the display menu.
Refer to the "Display" paragraph in the
"Knowing the instrument panel"
chapter.
Note: the system condition and settings
do not change throughout the different
on-off cycles.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
82) 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.

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

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.DRIVING STYLE
The main driving styles that affect fuel
consumption are listed below.
Cranking
Do not warm up the engine at low or
high revs when the vehicle is stationary;
this causes the engine to warm up
more slowly, thereby increasing fuel
consumption and emissions. 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 accelerating when stopped at
traffic lights or before switching off the
engine. This action and also double
declutching is absolutely pointless on
modern cars and also increases
consumption 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 acceleration
will increase consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high
gear increases consumption, emissions
and engine wear.Max. speed
Fuel consumption increases
considerably with speed. Maintain a
constant speed, avoiding unnecessary
braking and acceleration, which cost
in terms of both fuel consumption and
emissions.
Acceleration
Accelerating violently will greatly affect
consumption and emissions:
acceleration should be gradual.
USAGE CONDITIONS
The main usage conditions that
negatively affect fuel consumption are
listed below.
Cold starting
Short journeys and frequent cold starts
do not allow the engine to reach
optimum operating temperature.
This results in a significant increase in
consumption levels (from +15 to +30%
on the urban cycle) and emissions.

WARNING
198) Remember that the road
holding qualities of your vehicle
also depend on the correct
inflation pressure of the tyres.
199) If the pressure is too low, the
tyre will overheat and could be
seriously damaged.
200) Avoid switching the tyres from
the right side of the vehicle to the
left side and vice versa.
201) 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 HOSES
As 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
WIPER
BLADES
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.
