Values Displayed
Indications On Display
Each time a value is selected, the following information
is shown in the instrument cluster display:
• “Trip A” or “Trip B” location(s)
• Name, value and unit of measure of the selected
value (e.g. Range 520 mi). After a few seconds, the name of the selected value is
replaced by the corresponding icon.
Range
This indicates the distance which may be traveled with
the fuel remaining in the tank, assuming that driving
conditions will not change. The message “----” will
appear on the display in the following cases:
•
Distance less than 30 miles (or 50 km).
• The vehicle is parked for a long time with the engine
running.
NOTE: The range depends on several factors: driving
style, type of route (freeway, residential, mountain
roads, etc.), conditions of use of the vehicle (load, tire
pressure, etc.). Trip planning must take into account the
above notes.
Average Fuel Consumption
This value shows the approximate average consump-
tion since the last reset.
Travel Distance
This value shows the distance covered since the last
reset.Instrument Cluster Display

Current Fuel Consumption
This indicates the fuel consumption. The value is con-
stantly updated. The message “----” will appear on the
display if the vehicle is parked with the engine running.
Average Speed
This value shows the vehicle’s average speed as a
function of the overall time elapsed since the last reset.
Travel Time
This value shows the time elapsed since the last reset.
Tire Pressure Values
This screen will display OK at each Tire Pressure
Monitoring sensor. Refer to “Tire Pressure Monitoring
System” in “Safety” for further information.
TRIP COMPUTER
The Trip Computer is located in the instrument cluster.
It features a driver-interactive display (displays infor-
mation such as trip information, range, fuel consump-
tion, average speed, and travel time).
Trip Button
TheTRIP/RESET button, located on the right steering
column stalk, can be used to display and to reset the trip
values.
• A short button push displays the different values.
• A long button push resets the system and then starts

SAFETY FEATURES
Four-Wheel Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
The Four-Wheel ABS is designed to aid the driver in
maintaining vehicle control under adverse braking condi-
tions. The system operates with a separate computer to
modulate hydraulic pressure, to prevent wheel lock-up
and to help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces.
The system’s pump motor runs during an ABS stop to
provide regulated hydraulic pressure. The pump motor
makes a low humming noise during operation, which is
normal.
The ABS includes an amber ABS Warning Light. When
the light is illuminated, the ABS is not functioning. The
system reverts to standard non-anti-lock brakes. Turn-
ing the ignition OFF and ON again may reset the ABS if
the fault detected was only momentary.
WARNING!
•When the ABS intervenes and you feel the brake
pedal pulsating, do not reduce the pressure, but
hold it down firmly and confidently; in doing so
(Continued)
WARNING! (Continued)
you will brake in the shortest distance possible,
depending on the current road conditions.
• For maximum efficiency of the braking system, a
bedding-in period of about 311 miles (500 km) is
required: during this period it is advisable to
avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged braking.
• If the ABS intervenes, this indicates that the grip
of the tires on the road is nearing its limit: you
must slow down to a speed compatible with the
available grip.
• The ABS can’t overrule the natural laws of phys-
ics, and can’t increase the grip available according
to the condition of the road.
• The ABS cannot prevent accidents, including
those due to excessive speed on corners, driving
on low-grip surfaces or aquaplaning.
•
The capability of the ABS must never be tested
irresponsibly and dangerously, in such a way as to
compromise personal safety and the safety of others.
• For the correct operation of the ABS, the tires
must of necessity be the same make and type on
all wheels, in perfect condition and, above all, of
the prescribed type and dimensions.
