To insert the metal insert in the key grip,
keep the button (F) pressed and turn the
insert in the direction shown by the arrow
until hearing the click as it locks into place.
Then release the button (F).
To unlock the doors by remote control,
press button (B), the doors unlock and the
direction indicators flash twice. To lock the
doors by remote control, press button (C),
the doors lock and the direction indicators
flash once. Pressing button (B) the doors
are released, if within the next 60 seconds
a door or the tailgate are not opened, the
system automatically locks everything
again.
On cars fitted with electronic alarm system,
pressing button (B) turns it off, pressing but-
ton (C) turns it on while the transmitter
sends the code to the receiver. This code
(rolling code) varies at each transmission.
IMPORTANTIf when pressing button
(B,CorD) the control is rejected or is not
performed, the battery should be replaced
by a new one of the same type to be found
c/o normal retailers.OPENING THE TAILGATE
The tailgate can be opened from outside
by remote control pressing button (D), even
if the electronic alarm is on. Opening of the
tailgate is accompanied by the direction in-
dicators flashing twice; closing is accompa-
nied by a single flash.
If the electronic alarm is fitted, when the
tailgate is opened the alarm system switch-
es off volumetric protection and the tailgate
control sensor, the system (with the excep-
tion of versions for certain markets) “beeps”
twice. The metal insert (A) of the key operates:
– the ignition switch
– the driver's door lock and, optional for
versions/markets where applicable, the pas-
senger's door lock
– the passenger’s side Air bag deactivat-
ing switch
– the fuel cap lock.
When pressing the button
(F), take care to prevent
the metal insert from causing harm
or damage when it comes out. The
button (F) should only be pressed
when the key is away from the
body, in particular from the eyes,
and from objects that can be spoilt
(clothes for instance). Make sure
the key can never be touched by
others, especially children, who
may inadvertently press the but-
ton (F).
WARNING

REFUELLING
The antipollution devices
on the car oblige the use of
only four-star unleaded
petrol with an octane number
(R.O.N.) of 95 or over.
Never use leaded petrol,
as this would irreversibly
damage the exhaust gas
catalyst. If leaded fuel is added to
the fuel tank, no matter how small
the quantity, DO NOT START THE
ENGINE. Do not attempt to dilute
the fuel in the tank, completely
drain the fuel circuit and tank.
To prevent accidentally filling with leaded
petrol, the diameter of the fuel tank filler
is of such a size as not to accept the noz-
zle of this type of petrol.
An inefficient catalyst
leads to harmful emission
at the exhaust, thus envi-
ronment pollution.
FUEL CAP (fig. 145)
The fuel cap (A) is key-lockable and has a
catch to prevent misplacing it (B) that fas-
tens it to the flap (C); to gain access to it,
open the flap then use the ignition key to turn
counter-clockwise and remove the cap.
When refuelling, hook the cap to the de-
vice on the inner flap, as illustrated.
IMPORTANTThe sealing of the tank
may cause light pressurising. A little breath-
ing off, while slackening the cap is ab-
solutely normal.
fig. 145
A0A0443m
After refuelling, turn the cap clockwise un-
til one or more clicks are heard; then turn
the key clockwise to lock. Close the flap.
IMPORTANTFor your safety, before
starting the engine, also make sure that the
fuel nozzle is correctly inserted in the fuel
distributor.
In the case of need, only
replace the fuel cap with
another genuine one, or the
efficiency of the fuel vapour re-
covery system could be adversely
affected.
Do not go near the fuel
filler with naked flames or
lit cigarettes: danger of fire. Avoid
going too near the fuel filler with
your face, to avoid inhaling harm-
ful vapours.
WARNING

IN AN EMERGENCY
190
IMPORTANTThe car is equipped with
“Kit for tyre quick repair Fix&Go“, see the
instructions contained in the following chap-
ter.
STARTING BY INERTIAIN THE EVENT OF A PUNCTURE
Never push, tow or coast
start the vehicle. This could
cause fuel to flow into the
catalyst damaging it irreversibly.
Remember that the engine
brake and power steering
are not operational until the engine
is started, therefore, much greater
effort than usual is needed on the
brake pedal and steering wheel.
WARNING
Signal the presence of the
stationary vehicle according
to the current regulations: hazard
warning lights, reflecting triangle,
etc. Any passengersshould leave
the car.
WARNING
Should the type of wheels
used be changed (alloy
rims instead of steel), it is also nec-
essary to replace the complete kit
of fastening bolts with others of
suitable size.

CONSUMPTION ACCORDING TO EEC 1999/100/ (litres x 100 km)
FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption values shown in the
following tables were established during ho-
mologation tests prescribed in specific Eu-
ropean Directives.
The test conditions adopted include the fol-
lowing:
–an urban cycle: this includes cold
starting followed by simulation of a mixed
urban route;–an extraurban cycle: this includes
frequent accelerating in all gears, simulat-
ing normal extraurban use of the vehicle;
the speed varies between 0 and 120 kph;
–combined consumption: this is cal-
culated by considering a route consisting of
about 37% urban cycle and 63% extraur-
ban cycle.WARNING The type of route, traf-
fic conditions, weather conditions,
driving style, conditions of the ve-
hicle, trim level/equipment/ acces-
sories, vehicle load, presence of roof
rack, use of the climate control sys-
tem, other items that negatively af-
fect the aerodynamics of the vehi-
cle or wind resistance lead to dif-
ferent fuel consumption levels than
those measured by the above-men-
tioned procedures (see “Reducing
running costs and environment pol-
lution“ in the chapter “Correct use
of the car“).
