KEYS
Key Fob
Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition
system. This system includes a key fob
and a keyless push button ignition.
The key fob with Remote Control

Allowing children to be in a vehicle
unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be
seriously or fatally injured. Children should
be warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children. A child could operate power

Improper weight distributions can have
an adverse effect on the way your
vehicle steers and handles and the way
the brakes operate.
Caution!
Do not load your vehicle any heavier than
the GVWR or the maximum front and rear
GAWR. If you do, parts on your vehicle can
break, or it can change the way your
vehicle handles. This could cause you to
lose control. Also overloading can shorten
the life of your vehicle.
TRAILER TOWING

SUGGESTIONS FOR
DRIVING
Saving Fuel
Below are some suggestions which
may help you save fuel and lower the
amount of harmful emissions released
into the atmosphere.
Vehicle maintenance
Checks and operations should be
carried out in accordance with the
"Scheduled Servicing" (see chapter
"Servicing And Maintenance").
Tires
Check the tire pressures at least once
every four weeks: if the pressure is too
low, consumption levels increase as
resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded trunk.
The weight of the vehicle and its
arrangement greatly affect fuel
consumption and stability.
Electric devices
Use electrical systems only for the
amount of time needed. The rear
window defroster, additional headlights,
windshield wipers and heater blower
fan require a considerable amount of
energy; increasing the current uptake
increases fuel consumption (by up to
+25% when city driving).

STARTING AND OPERATING

Warning!
When replacing a blown fuse, always
use an appropriate replacement fuse with
the same amp rating as the original fuse.
Never replace a fuse with another fuse of
higher amp rating. Never replace a blown
fuse with metal wires or any other material.
Failure to use proper fuses may result in
serious personal injury, fire and/or property
damage.
Before replacing a fuse, make sure that
the ignition is off and that all the other
services are switched off and/or
disengaged.
If the replaced fuse blows again, contact
an authorized dealer.
If a general protection fuse for safety
systems (air bag system, braking system),
power unit systems (engine system,
transmission system) or steering system
blows, contact an authorized dealer.
Fuse Location
The fuses, which can be replaced by
the user, are grouped in two boxes
below the passenger side foot board
and inside the trunk.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

Warning!
Use only refrigerants and compressor
lubricants approved by the manufacturer
for your air conditioning system. Some
unapproved refrigerants are flammable and
can explode, injuring you. Other
unapproved refrigerants or lubricants can
cause the system to fail, requiring costly
repairs. Refer to Warranty Information
Book, located in your owner’s information
kit, for further warranty information.
Lubricating Moving
Parts Of The Bodywork
Ensure that the locks and bodywork
junction points, including components
such as the seat guides, door hinges
(and rollers), trunk and hood are
periodically lubricated with
lithium-based grease to ensure correct,
silent operation and to protect them
from rust and wear.
Thoroughly clean the components,
eliminating every trace of dirt and dust.
After lubricating, eliminate excess oil
and grease. Also pay particular
attention to the hood closing devices,
to ensure correct operation. During
operations on the hood, to be carried
out with the engine cold, also
remember to check, clean and lubricate
the locking, release and safety devices.Lubricate the external lock barrels twice
a year. Apply a small amount of
high-quality lubricant directly into the
lock barrel.
If necessary, contact your authorized
dealer as soon as possible.
Windshield Wiper
Periodically clean the windshield and
rear window and rubber profile of the
windshield wiper blades, using a
sponge or a soft cloth and a
non-abrasive detergent. This eliminates
the salt or impurities accumulated when
driving.
Prolonged operation of the windshield
window wipers with dry glass may
cause the deterioration of the blades, in
addition to abrasion of the surface of
the glass. To eliminate the impurities on
the dry glass, always operate the
windshield washers.
In the event of very low outdoor
temperatures, below zero degrees,
ensure that the movement of the rubber
part in contact with the glass is not
obstructed. Use a suitable deicing
product to release it if required.
Avoid using the windshield wipers to
remove frost or ice.
Also avoid contact of the rubber profile
of the blades with petroleum derivatives
such as engine oil, gas, etc.
Warning!
Driving with worn windshield wiper blades
is a serious hazard, because visibility is
reduced in bad weather conditions.
Note:
The life of the windshield wiper blades
varies according to the usage
frequency. In any case, it is advised to
replace the blades approximately once
a year. When the blades are worn,
noise, marks on the glass or streaks of
water may be noticed. In the presence
of these conditions, clean the
windshield wiper blades or, if necessary,
replace them.
R
aising The Windshield Wiper Blades
("Service Position" Function)
The "service position" function allows
the driver to replace the windshield
wiper blades more easily. It is also
recommended to activate this function
when it is snowing and to make it easier
to remove any dirt deposits in the area
where the blades are normally
positioned, when washing.
Activation Of The Function
To activate this function, disable the
windshield wiper before setting the
ignition device to STOP.
