Fuel consumption according to the current European directive (litres/100 km) FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the table below are determined on the basis of the type-approval tests laid down by specific
European Directives.
The following procedures are used to measure the fuel consumption:
❒ urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates urban use of the car;
❒ extra-urban cycle: driving that simulates extra-urban use of the car, with frequent acceleration in all gears; the speed varies from 0
to 120 km/h;
❒ combined consumption: this is calculated with a weighting of about 37% urban cycle consumption and about 63% extra-urban
consumption.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic situations, weather conditions, driving style, general conditions of the car, trim
level/equipment/accessories, load, climate control system, roof rack, other situations that affect air drag may lead to different fuel
consumption levels than those measured.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
CIGAR LIGHTER
The cigar lighter gets very hot. Handle it carefully and make sure that children don’t use it: risk of fire and/or burns.
ASHTRAY
Do not use the ashtray as a waste paper basket: it may catch fire in contact with cigarette stubs.
WHEELS AND TYRES
The road holding qualities of the car also depend on the correct inflation pressure of the tyres. If tyre pressure is too low, the tyre may
overheat and be severely damaged as a result.
Do not switch tyres from the left to the right side and vice versa, in order to prevent inversion of the rotation direction.
Do not repaint alloy wheel rims at temperatures higher than 150°C.
The mechanical characteristics of the wheels might be compromised.
The car is always equipped with front and rear wheels of different dimensions. It is not therefore possible to move the wheels from the
front to the back and vice versa.
ACCESSORIES PURCHASED BY THE OWNER
Take care when fitting additional spoilers or non-standard alloy wheels: they could reduce the ventilation of the brakes and affect
efficiency in sharp, repeated braking or on long descents. Make sure that nothing obstructs the pedal stroke (mats, etc.).
CATALYTIC SILENCER
Under operating conditions, the catalytic converter becomes very hot. Therefore, do not park the car on flammable materials
(grass, dry leaves, pine needles etc.) to avoid the risk of fire.
