select and set the required airflow
distribution mode.
Available settings are as follows:
• “Floor” mode
Air for each zone comes from the
front vents, located under the
dashboard and under the front
seats. A small portion of the airflow
is directed through the
defrost/demist vents to prevent
windows fogging.
• “Dashboard” mode
Air flows for each zone from four
adjustable vents of the dashboard,Dashboard Instruments and Controls

Driving Conditions Before the Trip Check the following at regular
intervals and always before long trips:
• tire pressure and condition;
• levels of fluids and lubricants;
• conditions of the windshield wiper
blades;
• clean the glass on the external light
and all other glass surfaces;
• proper operation of the indicator
lights and of the external lights.
CAUTION!
It is however advisable to perform
these checks at least every 600 mi
(1000 km) and always following the
maintenance schedule reported in
section “Maintenance and Care”.
Before you drive:
•
adjust seat position, steering wheel,
adjustable pedals (if equipped with)
and rearview mirrors in order to
have the best driving position;
• ensure that nothing (mat covers,
etc.) is obstructing the pedals
movement; • carefully arrange and secure any
objects in the trunk, to prevent them
from moving forward in case of
sudden stops;
• avoid heavy meals before a trip. A
light snack helps keep your reflexes
sharp. In particular, avoid drinking
alcohol.
WARNING!
Passengers must only travel seated in
the vehicle seats, with the seat belts
fastened. Always check that the driver
and all passengers have the seat belts
correctly fastened.
Safe Driving Although the vehicle is equipped with
active and passive safety devices, the
driver's conduct is always a decisive
factor for road safety.
Some simple rules for traveling safely
in different conditions are listed
below. Some of them will probably
already sound familiar but, in any
case, it would be useful to read them
carefully.
Driving at Night
The main guidelines to follow when
driving at night are set out below. • Drive carefully. Night conditions
demand more focus and attention.
• Reduce your speed, especially on
roads with no streetlights.
• Stop at early signs of drowsiness.
Continuing to drive would be a risk
for yourself and for others. Have a
rest before continuing your trip.
• Keep the vehicle at a greater
distance from vehicles in front of
you than you would during the day:
it is difficult to assess the speed of
other vehicles when you only see the
lights.
• Use the high beams only outside of
densely-populated areas and when
you are sure that they will not
disturb other drivers.
• When another vehicle is
approaching, switch from high
beams (if on) to low beams.
• Keep lights and headlights clean.
• Outside of densely-populated areas,
beware of animals crossing the road.
Driving in the Rain
Rain and wet roads are dangerous. On
a wet road all maneuvers are more
difficult since wheel grip on the road
is significantly reduced. This means
that braking distances increase
considerably and road grip decreases.Driving
