REAR SEATS
EXTENDING THE
LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT
The split rear seat makes it possible to ex-
tend the luggage compartment totally or par-
tially, acting separately on one of the two
parts, thereby offering different possibilities
of load depending on the number of rear
passengers.Removing the rear parcel shelf
Proceed as follows:
– free the ends of the two rods (A-fig.
16) supporting the parcel shelf (B) pulling
the eyelets (C) off the pins (D);
– release the pins (A-fig. 17) at the out-
side of the shelf from their housings (B) ob-
tained in the side supports, then remove the
shelf pulling it outwards.
After removal the shelf can be placed in
two ways:
– crossways in the luggage compartment
as shown in fig. 18;
– crossways between the front seat back
reats and the tilted cushions of the rear seats
if the boot is extended totally (see fig. 22).Total extension
Proceed as follows:
– position the seat belt buckles (A-fig.
19) in their housings in the cushion;
– pull the handles in the centre of the cush-
ions, then tilt them forwards;

If a particularly heavy load
is placed in the boot, when
travelling at night, it is wise to
check the height of the high beams
(see “Headlamps” paragraph).

“Follow me home” device
(fig. 58)
This function allows the illumination of the
space in front of the car for the length of
time set, and is activated with the ignition
key at STOPor removed, pulling the left-
hand stalk towards the steering wheel.
This function is activated pulling the lever
within 2 minutes from when the engine is
turned off. At each single movement of the
lever, the staying on of the dipped beams
and sidelights is extended by 30 seconds up
to a maximum of 3.5 minutes; the lights
switch off automatically after the time set.
Each time the lever is operated, the
1
warning light on the cluster turns on.
This function can be interrupted by keep-
ing the lever pulled towards the steering
wheel for more than 2 seconds.
RIGHT-HAND LEVER
The right-hand lever is used to operate the
windscreen wiper-washer and rearscreen
wiper-washer. The windscreen washer con-
trol also activates the headlamp washers,
if fitted.

Windscreen wiper - washer
(fig. 59-60)
The lever can be moved to five different
positions, corresponding to:
A- Windscreen wiper off.
B- Intermittent.
With the lever in position (B), turning the
ring (F) four possible intermittent speeds
are obtained:
■= intermittent slow.
■■= intermittent medium.
■■■= intermittent medium-fast.
■■■■= fast intermittent.
C- Continuous, slow.
D- Continuous, fast.
E- Fast, temporary (unstable position).
Operation in position (E) is limited to the
time the lever is held in this position. When
the lever is released, it returns to position
(A) automatically stopping the wiper.
IMPORTANTWhen the wiper is on, en-
gaging reverse gear automatically turns on
the rearscreen wiper.

At each start, the rain sensor automatically
stabilises at a temperature of about 40°C
to eliminate any condensation from the con-
trol surface and prevent the formation of ice.
The rain sensor is able to detect and au-
tomatically adapt to the presence of the fol-
lowing particular conditions which require
different sensitivity:
– impurities on the control surface (salt,
dirt, etc.);
– streaks of water caused by worn wiper
blades;
– difference between day and night (the
human eye is more disturbed during the
night by the wet glass surface).Rearscreen wiper-washer
(fig. 62-63)
Pushing the lever towards the dashboard
(unstable position) operates the rearscreen
washer jet and continuous operation of the
rearscreen wiper.
Operation ends when the lever is released.

Turning the knurled ring (A) from position

'operates the rearscreen wiper in-
termittently.
Headlamp washers (fig. 64)
These come into operation when the wind-
screen washer is turned on with the
dipped/main beam headlights on.
IMPORTANTOn certain versions when
the headlamp washer is operating, the cli-
mate control system automatically engages
inside air re-circulation, to prevent the smell
of liquid detergent from entering the pas-
senger compartment.

MILEAGE RECORDER
Display with double meter (total and trip)
and headlamp position display.
The display shows:
– the mileage on the first line (6 figures)
– the trip meter on the second line (4 fig-
ures)
– the position relating to the headlamp
aiming device.
To reset the trip meter, keep the button
(A-fig. 68) on the plate at the side of the
steering column pressed for a few seconds.IMPORTANTIf the battery is discon-
nected the trip meter reading is not stored. A. Fuel level gauge with reserve warning
light - B. Engine coolant fluid temperature
gauge with maximum temperature warning

recorder, trip meter and headlamp position
display) - E. Reconfigurable multifunction

REV COUNTER
The rev. counter shows engine rpm. The nee-
dle pointed to the danger area (red) indicates
excessive high engine speed. Do not drive for
long periods with the needle in this area.
IMPORTANTThe electronic injection con-
trol system gradually shuts off the flow of fu-
el when the engine is “over-revving” resulting
in a gradual loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter
may indicate a gradual or sudden highering of
the speed, this is normal as it takes place dur-
ing normal operation, for example when en-
gaging the climatecontrol system or the fan.
In particular a slow change in the speed pre-
serves the battery charge.
