KNOWING YOUR CAR
In-depth knowledge of your new vehicle
starts here.
The booklet that you are reading simply
and directly explains how it is made and
how it works.
That’s why we advise you to read it
seated comfortably on board, so that
you can see immediately what is
described here for yourself.INSTRUMENT PANEL...........8

INTERIOR LIGHTS
FRONT CEILING LIGHT
Switch 1 fig. 35 is used to switch on/off
the ceiling light bulbs.
Switch 1 positions:
central position: lights 2 and 5 switch
on/off when the doors are
opened/closed;
pressed to the left (OFF): lights 2 and
5 are always switched off;
pressed to the right (): lights
2 and 5 are always switched on.
The lights switch on/off gradually.
Switch 3 switches on/off light 2.
Switch 4 switches on/off light 5.When the lights are turned on manually,
they will switch off automatically after
15 minutes to preserve the battery
charge only with the ignition device in
the STOP position.
IMPORTANT Before getting out of the
vehicle, make sure that the roof light
bulbs are off; this will prevent the
battery from being drained once the
doors are closed. In any case, if a light
is left on by mistake, the ceiling light
switches off automatically about
15 minutes after the engine has been
switched off.
Ceiling light timing
On certain versions, to facilitate getting
in/out of the car at night or in poorly-lit
areas, two timed modes have been
provided.
Timing while getting into the car
The roof lights switch on according to
the following modes:
for a few seconds when the doors
are unlocked;
for about 3 minutes when one of the
side doors is opened;
for a few seconds when the doors
are locked.
Timing is interrupted when the ignition
device is turned to MAR.Timing while getting out of the car
The roof lights come on when the key is
removed from the ignition within
2 minutes of switching off the engine,
on opening and closing a door with the
removed key.
The timing stops automatically when
the doors are locked.
With the ignition device in the STOP
position, the ceiling light will
automatically turn off after 15 minutes
to preserve the battery charge.

When the CITY function is on, the
steering wheel effort is lighter, making
parking easier: therefore, this function is
particularly useful for driving in city
centres.
To ensure steering uniformity, when the
key is pressed while the steering wheel
is being turned, the change of force will
only be felt when it is turned in the
opposite direction, or the steering
wheel is released.
WARNING
28)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installation of anti-theft
device) that could adversely affect
performance, invalidate the warranty, cause
serious safety problems and also result in
the car not meeting type-approval
requirements.
29)Before performing any maintenance
operations, always stop the engine and
remove the key from the ignition to lock the
steering column (especially when the car
wheels are not touching the ground). If this
is not possible (for example if the key
needs to be turned to MAR or the engine
must be running), remove the main fuse
that protects the electric power steering.
LUGGAGE
COMPARTMENT
IMPORTANT When travelling, do not
put any object on the rear parcel shelf
because they can injure passengers in
the event of an accident or sudden
braking.

unlocked, the tailgate can be opened
from outside the car using the electric

compartment will turn on when the
tailgate is opened; the roof light will
automatically switch off when the
tailgate is closed (see also "Interior
lights").
If the tailgate is left open, the roof light
will automatically switch off to preserve
the battery charge.
Emergency opening from inside
