WARNING
3)For safety reasons, make sure all the
doors are well closed before setting out.
4)Never leave the vehicle with the remote
or electronic key inside.
5)For safety reasons, always open/close
doors when the vehicle is stopped.
6)NEVER leave children unattended inside
the vehicle, let alone leave it with the doors
unlocked in a place that children can
access easily. Children may seriously, or
even fatally, injure themselves. Also ensure
that children do not inadvertently operate
the parking brake or the brake pedal.
7)Opening or closing the door, as for all
opening parts of the vehicle, must be done
keeping in mind the precautions for use
concerning this operation: check that there
is no one, no part of a body, an animal or
object that could come into contact during
this manoeuvre. Only use the inside and
outside handles to manoeuvre the door.
Use caution in both opening and closing
the doors. Caution: when the vehicle is
parked on an incline, open or close the
door carefully until it locks in place. Always
make sure the sliding door is completely
closed before the vehicle starts moving.
8)Before opening a door, ensure that you
can do it in conditions of safety.9)You must not open the left-hand sliding
side door with the fuel flap open while
refuelling. Check that the fuel flap is closed
while opening/closing the sliding side door
to avoid damage.
10)Do not leave the sliding side door open
when the vehicle is parked on a gradient. A
knock could release the latch leaving the
door free to move forward.
11)Before leaving the vehicle parked with
sliding doors open, always check that the
latch is engaged.
12)Always use this device when carrying
children.
13)The spring-loaded system is designed
for optimum usage. Accidental knocks or a
strong gust of wind may release the
springs, forcing the doors to close.
14)When closing, shut the right hand
swing door fully before you close the left
hand swing door. Never shut the two doors
at the same time.
15)In case of wind, do not leave the rear
swing doors open. Risk of injury.
16)When you stop by the side of the road,
if the tailgate is completely open, the rear
lights might not be visible. Warn other road
users that your vehicle is there by placing
the pre-signal triangle or other device
allowed by law in the country you are
driving in.

not moving (traffic jam, stop for a traffic
light, etc.).
OPERATING MODE
The engine is put in stand-by if:the vehicle was driven since its last
stop;
the gear is in neutral;
the clutch pedal is released;
the vehicle speed is lower than about
3 km/h.
2) 3)
The warning lightshown on the
instrument panel indicates that the

Depending on the vehicle, some
conditions stop the system from
applying the stand-by engine,
specifically:
reverse is in gear;
the bonnet is not locked;
for cars with an electronic key, the
driver's door is not closed;
for vehicles with an electronic key,
the driver's seat belt is not fastened;
the outside temperature is too low or
too high (lower than 0°C or over 35°C);
the battery not sufficiently charged;
there is too much difference between
the inside vehicle temperature and that
set by the automatic climate control;

ADDITIVE TANK
Make sure that you comply with the
laws of the country you're in.
You need to remember that if the owner
of the vehicle does not comply with the
laws in effect, there could be legal
consequences.
Operating principle
The AdBlue (Urea) additive is required
for diesel engines equipped with SCR
(Selective Catalytic Reduction) system.
Using the additive makes it possible to
reduce the amount of NOx in the
exhaust gases.
Filling
Usable tank capacity: Approx. 20 litres
With the starter device inserted, open
the left front door to access the flap A.
Unscrew the cap 1.
Ammonium hydroxide vapours may be
released in case of high temperature in
the tank when the cap is opened.

IMPORTANT In vehicles equipped with
the Start&Stop function, fill with AdBlue
(Urea) additive when the engine is
stopped. Always stop the engine (refer
to the information about starting and
stopping the engine).
AdBlue (Urea) additive quality
Only use additives that comply with the
ISO 22241 standard and in compliance
with the label on the fuel tank flap.
Average fuel consumption
Approximately 3.5 l / 1000 km,
according to the vehicle version,
depending on the vehicle version and
driving style.
Operating precautions
The additive can be topped up in
service stations using the nozzles or the
commercially available containers.
Always refer to the information on the
AdBlue (Urea) additive package.Handle additives carefully. They can
damage clothing, shoes, chassis
components, etc.
If the additive overflows or
contaminates any painted surface,
quickly clean the area with a damp
cloth.
IMPORTANT Use a soft sponge if the
additive crystallises.
In extremely cold climates
In case of ice, the AdBlue (Urea)
additive tank must be topped up until
the warning lightaccompanied by a
dedicated message appears on the
instrument panel.
Precautions while refilling the tank
The AdBlue (Urea) additive freezes at
temperatures lower than approximately
-10 °C. Do not attempt to fill or top up
in this case. However, we advise you to
top up the AdBlue (Urea) additive or
have a qualified professional do it when
the warning light
on the instrument
panel turns on.
