Distance travelled A
Average consumption A
Instant consumption (for versions/

Average speed A
Travel time A (driving time)
“Trip B”may be used to display the

WARNING
45)If the system signals a pressure decrease on a specific tyre, it is recommended to check the pressure on all four tyres. The iTPMS does
not relieve the driver from the obligation to check the tyre pressure every month; it is not to be considered a system to replace servicing or
a safety system. Tyre pressure must be checked with tyres cold. Should it become necessary for whatever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even though it is higher than the prescribed value, but repeat the check when tyres are cold.
46)The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre pressure drops (for example when a tyre bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle, braking with
caution and avoiding abrupt steering. The system only warns that the tyre pressure is low: it is not able to inflate them. Insufficient tyre
inflation increases fuel consumption, reduces the tread duration and may affect the capacity to drive safely.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

IMPORTANT When the weather is cold
or damp or after heavy rain or washing,
the surface of headlights or rear lights
may steam up and/or form drops of
condensation on the inside. This is
a natural phenomenon due to the
difference in temperature and humidity
between the inside and the outside
of the glass which does not indicate a
fault and does not compromise the
normal operation of lighting devices.
The mist disappears quickly when the
lights are turned on, starting from
the centre of the diffuser, extending
progressively towards the edges
