USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Each time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are given, these must be intended as
regarding an occupant in the driver's seat. Special cases not complying with this rule will be specified as appropriate in the text.
The figures in the Owner Handbook 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 Handbook 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 or
construction of some controls 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 Handbook.
Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further there is a key
for getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is in any case a textual indication of the
current chapter at the side of each even page.

5)For safety reasons, always open/close
doors when the vehicle is stopped.
6)NEVER leave children unattended inside
the vehicle, let alone leave it with the doors
unlocked in a place that children can
access easily. Children may seriously, or
even fatally, injure themselves. Also ensure
that children do not inadvertently operate
the parking brake or the brake pedal.
7)Opening or closing the door, as for all
opening parts of the vehicle, must be done
keeping in mind the precautions for use
concerning this operation: check that there
is no one, no part of a body, an animal or
object that could come into contact during
this manoeuvre. Only use the inside and
outside handles to manoeuvre the door.
Use caution in both opening and closing
the doors. Caution: when the vehicle is
parked on an incline, open or close the
door carefully until it locks in place. Always
make sure the sliding door is completely
closed before the vehicle starts moving.
8)Before opening a door, ensure that you
can do it in conditions of safety.
9)You must not open the left-hand sliding
side door with the fuel flap open while
refuelling. Check that the fuel flap is closed
while opening/closing the sliding side door
to avoid damage.
10)Do not leave the sliding side door open
when the vehicle is parked on a gradient. A
knock could release the latch leaving the
door free to move forward.
11)Before leaving the vehicle parked with
sliding doors open, always check that the
latch is engaged.
12)Always use this device when carrying
children.13)The spring-loaded system is designed
for optimum usage. Accidental knocks or a
strong gust of wind may release the
springs, forcing the doors to close.
14)When closing, shut the right hand
swing door fully before you close the left
hand swing door. Never shut the two doors
at the same time.
15)In case of wind, do not leave the rear
swing doors open. Risk of injury.
16)When you stop by the side of the road,
if the tailgate is completely open, the rear
