WARNING LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES ON THE
INSTRUMENT PANEL
The following pages consist of warning lights and
messages.

NOTE:

The warning light turns on together with a
dedicated message and/or chime when
applicable. These indications are precau
-
tionary and as such must not be considered as
exhaustive and/or alternative to the
information contained in the Owner’s Manual,
which you are advised to read carefully in all
cases. Always refer to the information in this
section in the event of a failure indication.
The failure indicators appearing on the display
are divided into two categories: very serious
and less serious faults. Serious faults are
indicated by a repeated and prolonged
warning "cycle.” Less serious faults are
indicated by a warning "cycle" with a shorter
duration. You can stop the warning cycle in
both cases by pushing the button located on
the windshield wiper stalk. The instrument
panel warning light will stay on until the cause
of the failure is eliminated.

BODYWORK
PROTECTION AGAINST ATMOSPHERIC
A
GENTS
The vehicle is equipped with the best available
technological solutions to protect the bodywork
against corrosion. These include:
Painting products and systems which give the
vehicle resistance to corrosion and abrasion.
Use of galvanized (or pre-treated) steel sheets,
with high resistance to corrosion.
Spraying of plastic parts, with a protective
function in the more exposed points: under
door, inner wing, edges, etc.
Use of “open” boxed sections to prevent
condensation and pockets of moisture which
could favor the formation of rust inside.
Use of special films to protect against abrasion
in exposed areas (e.g. rear wing, doors, etc.).
CORROSION WARRANTY
Your vehicle is covered by Corrosion Warranty
against perforation due to rust of any original
element of the structure or bodywork. For the
general terms of this warranty, refer to the
Warranty Booklet.
PRESERVING THE BODYWORK
Paint

Touch up abrasions and scratches immediately to
prevent the formation of rust.
Maintenance of paintwork consists of washing
the car: the frequency depends on the conditions
and environment where the car is used. For
example, it is advisable to wash the vehicle more
often in areas with high levels of atmospheric
pollution or salted roads.
Some parts of the vehicle may be covered with a
matte paint which, in order to be maintained
intact, requires special care.
CAUTION!
The Manual Trunk Opening Device allows the
trunk to be opened without a key, even if the
vehicle is locked. Do not use this Device
unless the vehicle is parked in a secure area.
