How To Use This Manual
ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
Each time directions (left/right or forward/backwards) are listed, they are determined by facing forward from the rear of the
vehicle or as from the point of view of being seated inside the car. Special cases not complying with this rule will be properly
specified in the text.
The figures in the Owner’s Manual are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do not
correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle. In addition, the Owner’s Manual has been conceived considering vehicles
with steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on vehicles with steering wheel on the right side, the position of
some controls or elements is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure.
To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner’s Manual.
Chapters can be rapidly identified by graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A key showing the order of the chapter and
the corresponding tab symbols appears on another page.

MIRRORS
Outside Mirrors
Before driving, adjust the inside and
outside mirrors.
Mirror Types:
Flat Type (Driver Side): flat surface
mirror.
Convex Type (Passenger Side): this
mirror has a slight curve.
Note:
The passenger side convex outside
mirror will give a much wider view to the
rear, and especially of the lane next to
your vehicle.
The outside mirrors may be equipped
with a heated mirror system. Refer to
“Climate Controls” for more information.
The perceived distance of objects in the
outer and inner regions of the wide
angle mirror is different.
Warning!
Vehicles and other objects seen in the
passenger side convex mirror will look
smaller and farther away than they really
are. Relying too much on your passenger
side mirror could cause you to collide with
another vehicle or other object. Use your
inside mirror when judging the size or
distance of a vehicle seen in the passenger
side mirror.
