INDEXNever extract the key while the vehicle is
moving. The steering wheel should lock au-
tomatically as soon as it is turned. This is always
the case, even when the vehicle is being towed.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any
aftersales operation involving steering sys-
tem or steering column modifications (e.g. installing
an anti-theft device) that could badly affect per-
formance and safety, invalidate the warranty and
also result in the vehicle failing to comply with reg-
ulations.
WARNING
When getting out of the vehicle, always
remove the key to prevent someone from
accidentally activating the controls. Remember
to engage the handbrake. Engage first gear if the
vehicle is parked uphill or reverse gear if the ve-
hicle is parked downhill. Never leave children un-
attended in the vehicle.

Range
Shows the approximate distance the vehicle can travel
with the amount of fuel left in the tank. The display will
show the reading “----” when the following events take
place:
– range is lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– vehicle is left parked with the engine running for a long
time.
WARNING The range can be affected by several factors:
driving style (see “Driving style” in the “Starting and dri-
ving” section), type of route (motorway, towns and cities,
mountain roads, etc.), conditions of use (load, tyre pres-
sures, etc.). Trip planning must therefore take the above
into account.
Distance travelled
Shows the distance covered since the start of the new
journey.
Average consumption
Shows the approximate average fuel consumption since
the start of the new journey.
Current consumption
Shows the constantly updated fuel consumption. The read-
ing “----” appears on the display if the vehicle is parked
with the engine running.
Average speed
Shows the average speed of the vehicle by using the over-
all time elapsed since the start of a new journey.TRIP COMPUTER
General information
The Trip computer is used to display information on ve-
hicle operation when the ignition key is turned to MAR.
This function allows you to define two separate trips, called
“Trip A” and “Trip B”, for monitoring the vehicle’s „com-
plete mission” (journey) in a reciprocally independent man-
ner. Both functions can be reset (reset – start of a new
journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
– Range
– Distance travelled
– Average consumption
– Instant consumption
– Average speed
– Travel time (driving time).
“Trip B”, available on multifunction display only, is used
to display the figures relating to:
– Distance travelled B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Travel time B (driving time).
N.B. “Trip B” may be disabled (see “Activating Trip B”).
“Range” and “Instant consumption” parameters cannot
be reset.

without having to press the accelerator pedal. Therefore
it is not recommended to use this device on extra-urban
roads with traffic. Do not use it in town.
