Windscreen washer
The washer fluid will be sprayed onto
the windscreen by pulling the lever
towards you. The wipers operate
automatically several times while the
washer fluid is being sprayed. On
vehicles equipped with the headlamp
washer, while the headlamps are on,
the headlamp washer will operate once
together with the windscreen washer.Headlamp washer switch
The headlamp washer can be operated
with the ignition switch or the operation
mode in ON or ACC and the lamp
switch at the
position. Push the
button once and the washer fluid will be
sprayed on to the headlamps.
NOTE If the ignition switch or the
operation mode is in ON or ACC and
the headlamps are on, the headlamp
washer operates together with the
windscreen washer the first time the
windscreen washer lever is pulled.Precautions to observe when using
wipers and washers
If the moving wipers become
blocked partway through a sweep by
ice or other deposits on the glass, the
wipers may temporarily stop operating
to prevent the motor from overheating.
In this case, park the vehicle in a safe
place, turn the ignition switch to the
“OFF” position or put the operation
mode in OFF, and then remove the ice
or other deposits. Because the wipers
will start operating again after the wiper
motor cools down, check that the
wipers operate before using them.
Do not use the wipers when the
glass is dry. They may scratch the glass
surface and the blades wear out
prematurely.
Before using the wipers in cold
weather, check that the wiper blades
are not frozen onto the glass. The
motor may burn out if the wipers are
used with the blades frozen onto the
glass.
Avoid using the washer continuously
for more than 20 seconds. Do not
operate the washer when the fluid
reservoir is empty. Otherwise, the motor
may burn out.
Periodically check the level of washer
fluid in the reservoir and refill if required.
During cold weather, add a
recommended washer solution that will

the window glasses and prevent
demisting.
For vehicles with the Start&Stop
system, if the demister switch is
pressed, the Start&Stop system will not
operate and the engine will not stop
automatically even if the vehicle is
stopped. This is to ensure that good
visibility is maintained.
IMPORTANT OPERATION
TIPS FOR THE AIR
CONDITIONING
Park the vehicle in the shade.
Parking in the hot sun will make the
vehicle inside extremely hot, and it will
require more time to cool the interior. If
it is necessary to park in the sun, open
the windows for the first few minutes of
air conditioning operation to expel the
hot air.
Close the windows when the air
conditioning is in use. The entry of
outside air through open windows will

WARNING
83)If the vehicle is parked on a very steep
slope or side gradient, opening the rear
flap of the flatbed or a side door may
cause any objects or luggage which is not
fixed to spill out.
84)If you wish to carry a reserve of petrol
in a can, observe the legal restrictions and
only use a can that is type-approved and
properly secured to the load anchorage
eyebolts. Anyway, by doing so, you
increase the risk of fire in the event of an
accident with your vehicle.
85)Respect the maximum permitted
vehicle loads also shown on the
registration certificate. The user is
responsible for arranging goods in the
luggage compartment and/or on the load
platform within the maximum permitted
loads.
86)Do not carry unnecessary objects on
the flatbed. Particularly if the vehicle is
driven in cities, where frequent stopping
and starting is necessary, supplementary
loads on the vehicle may have major
repercussions on fuel consumption.
Furthermore, do not travel with
unnecessary luggage, loads etc. on the
roof: the increased air resistance will
increase fuel consumption.
87)Using a lower gear when travelling with
heavy loads will improve vehicle
performance and extend the life of the
gearbox, limiting gear shifts and
overheating. This action ensures better
exhaust braking.88)All precautions must be adopted to
prevent danger to other road users if the
load protrudes beyond the contour of the
vehicle. The rear and side protrusion must
be indicated according to the laws in force
in the country. The load must not
compromise stability of the vehicle or cover
lights, visual indicators or identifying plates.
Poles, bars and similar loads which are
difficult to see arranged horizontally must
not protrude beyond the contour of the
vehicle.
IMPORTANT
32)Use a roof carrier that properly fits your
vehicle. Do not load luggage directly onto
the roof. For installation, refer to the
instruction manual accompanying the roof
carrier.
33)Make sure that the weight of the
luggage does not exceed the allowable roof
load. If the allowable roof load is exceeded,
this may cause damage to the vehicle. The
roof load is the total allowable load on the
roof (the weight of the roof carrier plus the
weight of luggage placed on the roof
carrier). For the specific value, refer to
“Maximum roof load”.34)When luggage is loaded onto the
vehicle, please make sure to drive slowly
and avoid excessive maneuvers such as
sudden braking or quick turning. In
addition, place the luggage on the carrier
so that its weight is distributed evenly with
the heaviest items on the bottom. Do not
load items that are wider than the roof
carrier. The additional weight on the roof
could raise the vehicle’s centre of gravity
and affect vehicle handling characteristics.
As a result, driving errors or emergency
maneuvers could lead to a loss of control
and result in an accident.
35)Before driving and after travelling a
short distance, always check the load to
make sure it is securely fastened to the roof
carrier. Check periodically during your travel
that the load remains secure.
