SYMBOLS AND MESSAGES ON THE
DISPLAY
If activated, the grid is positioned on the
image to highlight the width of the
vehicle and the expected reversing path
in accordance with the steering wheel
position.
A superimposed central broken line
indicates the centre of the car to
facilitate parking manoeuvres or tow
hook alignment. The various coloured
areas indicate the distance from the rear
part of the car.
The table below shows the approximate
distances for each area fig. 116:
AreaDistance from the rear
part of the car
Red 0-1ft(0–30cm)
Y
ellow 1 - 3.3 ft (30 cm-1m)
Green 3.3 ft (1 m) or more
IMPORTANT When parking, take the
utmost care over obstacles that may be
above or under the camera range.
WARNING
121)Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. While
carrying out these manoeuvres, always
make sure that no people (especially
children) or animals are in the area
concerned. The camera is an aid for the
driver, but the driver must never allow
his/her attention to lapse during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even those
executed at low speeds. Always keep a slow
speed, so as to promptly brake in the case of
obstacles.
IMPORTANT
53)It is vital, for correct operation, that the
camera is always kept clean and free from
any mud, dirt, snow or ice. Be careful not to
scratch or damage the camera while cleaning
it. Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths. The
camera must be washed using clean water,
with the addition of car shampoo if
necessary. In washing stations which use
steam or high-pressure jets, clean the
camera quickly, keeping the nozzle more
than 10 cm away from the sensors. Also, do
not apply stickers to the camera.

EMISSIONS ADDITIVE
(2.2 JTD versions only)
125)
Preliminary conditions
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures lower
than 12.2 °F (–11°C). If the car stands for
a long time at this temperature refilling
could be difficult. For this reason, it is
advised to park the car in a garage and/or
heated environment and wait for the
AdBlue® to return to liquid state before
topping up.
Proceed as follows:
park the car on level ground;
switch off the engine by turning the
ignition device to STOP;
open the fuel flap 1 fig. 117, then undo
and remove the cap 3 (blue) from the
AdBlue® filler and place it in the specific
housing 4.
Refilling with nozzles
You can fill up at any AdBlue® distributor.
Proceed as follows:
insert the AdBlue® nozzle in the filler,
start refilling and stop refilling at the first
shut-off (the shut-off indicates that the
AdBlue® tank is full). Do not proceed with
the refilling, to prevent spillage of
AdBlue®;
extract the nozzle.Refilling with containers
Proceed as follows:
Operations after refilling
Proceed as follows:
fit the cap 3 fig. 117 back on the
AdBlue® filler by turning it clockwise and
screwing it completely;
set the ignition device to ON (it is not
necessary to start the engine);
wait for the indication on the
instrument panel to switch off before
moving the car. The indication may stay
on for a few seconds to approximately
half a minute. If the engine is started and
the car is moved, the indication will
remain on for longer. This will not
compromise engine operation;
if the AdBlue® was topped up when the
tank was empty, see the “Refuelling ”
paragraph in the “Technical
Specifications” chapter and wait for
2 minutes before starting the engine.
IMPORTANT If AdBlue® is spilled out of
the filler neck, clean up well the area and
proceed to filling up again. If the liquid
crystallises, eliminate it with a sponge
and warm water.

WARNING
122)Do not apply any object/plug to the
end of the filler which is not provided for the
car. The use of non-compliant objects/plugs
could cause a pressure increase inside the
tank, resulting in dangerous situations.
123)Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel filler: fire risk.
Keep your face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
124)Do not use a mobile phone near the
refuelling pump: risk of fire.
125)If the AdBlue overheats for a
prolonged period inside the tank to over 50
°C (for example, due to direct solar
irradiation), the AdBlue may decompose and
produce ammonia vapours. Ammonia
vapours have a pungent odour when the cap
of the AdBlue tank is unscrewed, therefore
be careful not to inhale any ammonia
vapours in the tank outlet. In this
concentration, however, the ammonia
vapors are not harmful or dangerous to
health.
