Vehicles with manual gearbox: follow
the grid drawn on knob 1 or label A, and
depending on the vehicle, lift the ring
against the gear lever knob to select re-
verse.
Vehicle with automatic gearbox: refer
to the information on the “Automatic
gearbox” in Section 2.
The reversing lights will come on as

Handbrake
To release:
Pull lever 2 up slightly, press button 3
and then lower the lever to the floor.
To apply:
Pull the lever 2 upwards and make sure
the vehicle is immobilised.
When stationary and de-
pending on the slope and/or
vehicle load, it may be nec-
essary to pull up the hand-
brake at least two extra notches and
engage a gear (1
st or reverse gear)
for vehicles with a manual gearbox
or position P for vehicles with an au-
tomatic transmission.
Make sure that the hand-
brake is properly released
when driving (red indicator
light off), otherwise over-
heating may occur.

An impact to the under-
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-
mation of the rear axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.

When setting off, if the lever is locked
in position P even though you are de-
pressing the brake pedal and pressing
unlocking button 2, the lever can be re-
leased manually. To do this, press the
button by inserting an object into the
hole 10 and simultaneously press un-
locking button 2 located on the lever.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (3/3)
Operating faults
– When driving , if the “Check auto
gearbox” message appears on the
instrument panel, it indicates a fault.
Contact your approved Dealer as
soon as possible.
– When driving , if the message “Auto
gearbox overheating” appears on the
instrument panel, stop the vehicle to
allow the gearbox to cool down.
Contact your approved Dealer as
soon as possible.
– If a vehicle with an automatic
gearbox breaks down, refer to the
information on “Towing” in Section 5.

RETRACTABLE GLASS ROOF: conditions of use (1/2)
Conditions of use
– Immobilise the vehicle on flat, level ground (not with two wheels on a
kerb, for example) away from traffic.
– Perform the procedure with the engine running (risk of battery dis-
charging) and the vehicle stationary.
– To prevent the hydraulic system overheating, it is automatically cut
off after about 3 minutes of use. It
becomes operational again after a
maximum of about 10 minutes.
– Never retract the roof into the lug- gage compartment when it is wet.
– Make sure that the roof seals and run channels are clean to allow rain-
water to drain away quickly.
– Ensure that no luggage is placed above the luggage separator in the
luggage compartment.
Do not drive with the roof
in the intermediate position
(neither open nor closed).
Do not open or close the
roof in the wind speed of more than
25 mph (40 km/h) (risk of damage
to the roof).
To avoid all risk of injury,
ensure that nobody is in
the proximity of the moving
parts.
When opening or closing the roof,
ensure that nothing interferes with
the moving parts (roof and luggage
compartment lid).
– Do not operate the roof in minus temperatures.
– If there is any ice or snow prevent- ing the windows from lowering when
the roof is operating, this ice or snow
must be removed to free the win-
dows.
Note: the operation is only possible
when the vehicle is stationary.
Special feature of vehicles equipped
with parking distance control
The system is designed to aid parking,
and under no circumstances guaran-
tees a sufficient distance to operate the
retractable roof. Before operating the
roof, ensure that the surrounding space
is greater than the minimum required
distance.
In all cases, a continuous sound indi-
cates that the roof cannot move.

3.14
The displayed temperature values
show a comfort level.
When starting the engine, increas-
ing or decreasing the value dis-
played will not allow the com-
fort level to be reached any more
quickly. The system will always op-
timise the temperature increase or
decrease (the ventilation system
does not start instantly at maximum
speed: it gradually increases). This
may take several minutes.
Generally speaking, unless there is
a particular reason not to, the dash-
board air vents should remain open.
You are recommended to use automatic mode by selecting one of the auto-
matic programmes AUTO, SOFT or FAST.
In automatic mode (indicator light for button 3 on), all heating and air conditioning
functions are controlled by the system.
You can also change the system selection. In this case, the indicator lig\
ht on the
button 3 will go out and the changed function, which is no longer controlled by \
the
system, will be shown on the display 12.
To return to automatic mode, press one of the AUTO, SOFT or FAST programmes.
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (3/5)
Switching air conditioning on
or off
In automatic mode, the system switches
the air conditioning system on or off,
depending on the climate conditions.
Press switch 8 to switch off the air
conditioning; the integrated indicator
comes on and “A/C OFF” is shown on
display 12.

WINDSCREEN WIPER BLADES
Check the condition of the wiper
blades. You are responsible for their
service life:
– clean the blades and the wind-screen regularly with soapy
water;
– do not use them when the wind- screen is dry;
– free them from the windscreen when they have not been used
for a long time.1

Replacing windscreen wiper
blades 1
With the ignition on and engine
switched off, lower the windscreen
wiper stalk completely: they stop
slightly away from the bonnet.
Lift wiper arm 3, pull tab 2 (move-
ment A) and push the blade upwards.
To refit
Slide the blade along the arm until it
clips on. Make sure that the blade is
correctly locked in position.
– In frosty weather, make
sure that the wiper blades
are not stuck by ice (to
avoid the risk of the motor
overheating).
– Check the condition of the wiper
blades.
Replace the wiper blades as soon
as they begin to lose efficiency
(approximately once a year).
Whilst changing the blade, take care
not to drop the arm onto the window
after it has been removed as this
may break the window.

OPERATING FAULTS (4/6)
On the roadPOSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO
Steering becomes heavy. Assistance overheating. Consult an approved dealer.
The engine overheats. The
coolant temperature indica-
tor is in the warning zone and
warning light
® comes on. Engine cooling fan not working. Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and contact an
approved dealer.
Coolant leaks. Check the coolant reservoir: it should contain fluid.
If there is no coolant, consult an approved dealer as
soon as possible.
Vibrations. T yres not inflated to correct pres-
sures, incorrectly balanced or dam-
aged. Check the tyre pressures: if this is not the problem,
have them checked by an approved dealer.
Radiator:
If there is a significant lack of coolant, remember that it must never b\
e topped up using cold coolant while
the engine is very warm. After any procedure on the vehicle which has involved even partial drain\
ing of the cooling
system, it must be refilled with a new mixture prepared in the correct p\
roportions. Reminder: only products approved
by our Technical Department may be used for this purpose.
