When leaving the car, always remove the
key from the ignition to avoid the risk of
injury due to accidental operation of the
sunroof. Improper use of the roof can be
dangerous. Before and during operation, always
check that no-one is at risk of being injured by
the moving sunroof or by objects getting caught
or hit by it.
WARNING
If a transverse roof rack is fitted, the
sunroof should be used in the “spoiler”
position only.
Do not open the sunroof when there is
snow or ice as it could get damaged.
ANTI-PINCH SAFETY DEVICE
The sunroof has an anti-pinch safety system capable of
detecting the presence of an obstacle whilst the roof is
closing; when this happens, the system stops and the
movement of the glass is immediately reversed.

ROOF RACK/SKI RACK
The front hooks are located at points A-fig. 87.
The rear hooks are located at points B marked by the
(
O) symbols on the rear side windows.
IMPORTANT Follow the instructions contained in the
assembly kit carefully. Assembly must be performed by
qualified personnel.After travelling a short distance, check
that the attachment fixing screws are
tight.
WARNING
Distribute the load evenly and when
driving, bear the increased sensitivity of
the car to side wind in mind.
WARNING
Strictly comply with current legal
regulations concerning maximum overall
dimensions.
Never exceed the permitted weight (see
section “Technical specifications”).

DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm up the engine at low or high revs when
the car is stationary; this causes the engine to warm up
more slowly, thereby increasing fuel consumption and
emissions. It is therefore advisable to move off
immediately, slowly, avoiding high speeds: in this way the
engine will warm up more quickly.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid accelerating when stopped at traffic lights or
before switching off the engine. The latter action, like
double-clutching, is unnecessary and causes increase of
consumption and pollution.
Gear selection
As soon as the conditions of the traffic and road allow,
use a higher gear. Using a low gear for faster
acceleration will increase consumption. In the same way
improper use of a high gear increases consumption,
emissions and engine wear. Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof
after use. These accessories lower air penetration and
adversely affect consumption levels. When transporting
particularly large objects, use a trailer if possible.
Electrical devices
Use electrical devices only for the amount of time
needed. Rear heated window, additional headlights,
windscreen wipers and heater fan need a considerable
amount of energy, therefore increasing the requirement
of current increases fuel consumption (up to +25% in
the urban cycle).
Climate control system
The climate control system is an additional load which
greatly affects the engine leading to higher consumption
(on average up to +20%). When the temperature
outside the car permits it, use the air vents where
possible.
Devices for aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified devices for aerodynamic
control may adversely affect air drag and consumption
levels.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the table below
are determined on the basis of the type-approval tests
set down by relevant European Directives.
The procedures below are followed for measuring
consumption:
❒urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that
simulates urban use of the car;
❒extra-urban cycle: drive simulating the driving of the
car out of town with frequent acceleration in all
gears; the speed varies from 0 to 120 km/h;
❒combined consumption: the weighting is around 37%
urban cycle and 63% extra-urban cycle.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.
Fuel consumption according to the current European directive (litres x 100 km)
