not at risk from the moving glass either by
personal objects getting caught in the
mechanism or by being hit by it directly.
When leaving the car, always remove the key
from the ignition to prevent accidental
operation of the electric windows from being
a hazard for those still on board.

AFS adaptive lights
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Activation/deactivation of AFS adaptive
lights (Adaptive Frontlight System).
Courtesy lights
This function turns on the internal
courtesy lights for approximately
25 seconds when the doors or luggage
compartment are opened using the
remote control. The courtesy lights are
turned off when the doors are closed or
locked using the remote control.
Exit Menu
Return to standard display screen.TRIP COMPUTER
The Trip computer is used to display
information on car operation when the
key is turned to MAR. This function is
characterised by two separate records,
called “Trip A” and “Trip B”, where the car’s
“complete missions” (journeys) are
recorded in a reciprocally independent
manner. Both memories can be reset: i.e.
start of a new journey.
"Trip A" can be used to display the values
relating to:
Range
Distance travelled A
Average consumption A
Instant consumption
Average speed A
Trip time (driving time) A
“Trip B” may be used to display the
figures relating to:
Distance travelled B
Average consumption B
Average speed B
Trip time B (driving time).
The "Trip B" function may be disabled
(see "Activating Trip B"). "Range" and
"Instant consumption" values cannot be
reset.

"VELOCE" versions or versions with
"Pack sport": detach plug 1 by pressing
on the upper part, take tow hook 2 from
its housing in the tool support and screw
it in fully on the threaded pin (fig. 117 ).
WARNING
126)For versions with key without remote
control, before towing, turn the ignition key
to MAR and then to STOP without removing
it. The steering column will automatically
lock when the key is removed and the wheels
cannot be steered. Also check that the
gearbox is in neutral (on versions equipped
with automatic transmission, check that the
gear lever is in N position). For versions with
electronic key, move the ignition device to
MAR and then to STOP, without opening the
door.127)The brake servo and the
electromechanical power steering will not
work while the vehicle is being towed. You
will therefore need to apply more force on
the brake pedal and steering wheel. Do not
use flexible ropes when towing, and avoid
jerky movements. During towing, make sure
that the trailer hitch does not damage any
components it is touching. When towing the
car, you must comply with all specific traffic
regulations and adopt an appropriate
driving behaviour. Do not start the engine
while towing the car. Before tightening the
ring, clean the threaded housing thoroughly.
Make sure that the ring is fully screwed into
the housing before towing the car.
128)The front and rear tow hooks should be
used only for emergencies on the road. You
are allowed to tow the vehicle for short
distances using an appropriate device in
accordance with the highway code (a rigid
bar), to move the vehicle on the road in
readiness for towing or transport via a
breakdown vehicle. Tow hooks MUST NOT be
used to tow vehicles off the road or where
there are obstacles and/or for towing
operations using cables or other non-rigid
devices. In compliance with the above
conditions, towing must take place with the
two vehicles (one towing, the other towed)
aligned as much as possible along the same
centre line.
