117)Do not shift the gear lever to N
(Neutral) and do not stop the engine when
driving on a downhill road. This type of
driving is dangerous and reduces the
possibility of intervening in the case of
variation of the road traffic or surface. You
risk losing control of your vehicle and
causing accidents.
118)Never leave children unattended in
the car. Always remove the ignition key
when leaving the car and take the key with
you.

42)If the car is on a gradient, always
engage the electric parking brake BEFORE
placing the gear lever in P.
43)Engage reverse only with the car
stationary, engine at idling speed and
accelerator pedal fully released.
44)Using the paddles incorrectly (paddles
pushed towards the dashboard ) could
break them.
START&STOP
SYSTEM
The Start&Stop system automatically
stops the engine each time the vehicle
is stationary and starts it again when
the driver wants to move off.
In this way, the vehicle efficiency is
increased, by reducing consumption,
dangerous gas emissions and noise
pollution.

exhaust ducts to cool down: DANGER OF
SCALDING!
137)Modifications or repairs to the electric
system that are not carried out properly or
do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
