in which the occupants could even be fatally injured.

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

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 deactivate the function press the
button again.
IMPORTANT During parking
manoeuvres requiring a lot of steering,
the steering may become harder: this is
normal and is due to the intervention
of the system to protect the electric
steering motor from overheating, so no
repair is required. When the car is
used again later on, the power steering
will work normally.
ECO FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Press the ECO button fig. 28 for at least
5 seconds to activate the function.When the ECO function is activated,
the car is set for city driving,
characterised by less effort on the
steering wheel (Dualdrive system on)
and reduced fuel consumption.
When this function is activated, the
word ECO on the display will light up on
some versions.
This function stays in the memory, so
when the vehicle is started again,
the system keeps the setting it had
before the engine was stopped. Press
the ECO button again to deactivate
the function and restore the normal
driving setting.
WARNING
22)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 and safety, invalidate the
warranty and also result in the car not
meeting type-approval requirements.
23)Before starting any servicing operation,
stop the engine and remove the key from
the ignition switch to operate the steering
lock, particularly when the wheels do
not touch 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.

KNOWING YOUR CAR

lift the bonnet and, at the same time,
release the supporting rod C fig. 31
from its catch D, then insert the end of
the rod into housing E in the bonnet
(larger hole) and push to safety position
(smaller hole), as shown in the figure.CLOSING
Proceed as follows:
keep the bonnet raised with one
hand and remove rod C fig. 31 from
housing D with the other, inverting the
opening motion, then fit it back into
its catch;
lower the bonnet to approximately
20 centimetres from the engine
compartment and let it drop. Make sure
that the bonnet is completely closed
and not only fastened by the locking
device by trying to open it. If it is not
perfectly closed, do not try to press the
bonnet lid down but open it and repeat
the procedure.
IMPORTANT Always check that the
bonnet is closed correctly to prevent it
from opening while the vehicle is
travelling.
WARNING
24)The bonnet may drop suddenly if the
supporting rod is not positioned correctly.
25)Perform these operations only when
the car is stationary.
WARNING
13)Use both hands to lift the bonnet.
Before lifting, check that the windscreen
wiper arms are not raised from the
windscreen, that the vehicle is stationary
and that the handbrake is engaged.
