IGNITION SWITCH
The key can be turned to 3 different positions fig. 15:
STOP: the engine is off, the key can be extracted, the
steering is locked. Some electrical devices (e.g. car ra-
dio, central door locking system, etc.) are enabled
MAR: driving position. All electrical devices are en-
abled
AVV: engine start-up.
The ignition switch is fitted with an electronic safety sys-
tem that requires the ignition key to be turned back to
STOP if the engine will not start, before the starting op-
eration can be repeated.STEERING COLUMN LOCK
Engagement
When the key is at STOP, remove the key and turn the
steering wheel until it locks.
Disengagement
Move the steering wheel slightly as you turn the ignition
key to MAR.
IMPORTANT In some parking conditions (e.g.: wheels
turned) the effort required to move the steering wheel and
disengage the steering lock may be increased.
fig. 15L0E0107m
Never extract the key while the vehicle is
moving. The steering wheel would lock as
soon as the steering wheel is turned. This al-
so applies to when the car is towed. Under no cir-
cumstances should after-market operations be car-
ried out involving steering system or steering col-
umn modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device). This could negatively affect performance
and safety, invalidate the warranty and also re-
sult in vehicle non-compliance with type-approval
requirements.

Environmental lights are provided as part of the cour-
tesy light; these illuminate the vehicle when the dipped
beam headlights or side lights are switched on.
IMPORTANT Before getting out of the car, make sure that
both switches are in the central position: lights off with
doors closed in order to avoid draining the battery. In any
case, if the switch is left inadvertently in the On position,
the lights will turn off automatically 15 minutes after turn-
ing the engine off.
Courtesy light timing
To facilitate getting in/out of the car at night or with poor
lighting, 2 different timed switching on modes have been
provided.
Light timing when getting into the car
The courtesy lights will turn on as follows:
for about 10 seconds when the front doors are un-
locked;
for about 3 minutes when one of the side doors is
opened;
for about 10 seconds when the doors are closed.
Timing is interrupted when the ignition key is turned to
MAR.Light timing when getting out of the car
After removing the key from the ignition switch, the cour-
tesy lights will turn on as follows:
within 2 minutes of turning the engine off, for about
10 seconds;
for about 3 minutes when one of the side doors is
opened;
for about 10 seconds when one of the doors is closed.
in the event of the fuel cut-off system cutting in, the
lights remain on for approximately 15 minutes, after
which they go out automatically.
The lights go out immediately when the doors are locked
(unless the fuel cut-off system has cut in.).

FUEL CUT-OFF SYSTEM
This system intervenes in the event of a collision, acti-
vating:
cut off of fuel supply with resultant engine shut down;
automatic door lock release;
activation of all lights inside the car.
When the system has been triggered, the message “Fuel
cut off, see handbook” is displayed.
Carefully check the car for fuel leaks, for instance in the
engine compartment, under the car or near the tank area.
Following a collision, turn the ignition key to STOP to
avoid draining the battery.To reset car operation, follow this procedure:
turn the ignition key to MAR;
activate the right-hand indicator;
deactivate the right-hand indicator;
activate the left-hand indicator;
deactivate the left-hand indicator;
activate the right-hand indicator;
deactivate the right-hand indicator;
activate the left-hand indicator;
deactivate the left-hand indicator;
turn the ignition key to STOP.
If, after a crash, you smell fuel or notice leaks
from the fuel system, do not reset the system
to avoid fire risk.

LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT
OPENING THE TAILGATE
When unlocked, the tailgate can be opened from the out-
side by operating the handle fig. 55.
The tailgate can be opened at any time if car doors are un-
locked.
The key with remote control should be used to open the
tailgate.
fig. 55L0E0046m
If the luggage compartment is not closed correctly, this is
indicated by the
´warning light coming on in the in-
strument panel or the
Ricon appearing on the display
together with a dedicated message (see “Instrument pan-
el warning lights” in this chapter).
Opening the tailgate turns the luggage compartment light
on: the light automatically turns off after you close the
tailgate.
The light remains on for about 15 minutes after the key
is turned to STOP: if, during this period, a door or the tail-
gate is opened, the 15 minute timing is reset.
Open the tailgate using the key with remote control
To release the tailgate lock press R. Luggage compart-
ment opening is indicated by the double flashing of the
direction indicators; tailgate closing is indicated by sin-
gle flashing (only with the alarm switched on, where pro-
vided).

98GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
With the engine hot, work with caution inside
the engine compartment to avoid burns. Do
not place your hands near the fan: it may
switch on even if the ignition key has been removed.
Wait for engine cooling.
Pay attention to scarves, ties and other loose
fitting garments. If they accidentally touch
moving parts, they may get dragged in, pos-
ing serious risk to the wearer.
To close fig. 65
Proceed as follows:
hold the bonnet up with one hand and with the other
remove rod C from seat D and fit it back into its catch;
Lower the bonnet to approximately 20 centimetres
above the engine compartment and let it drop. Make
sure that the bonnet is completely closed and not on-
ly fastened by the safety catch by trying to open it. If
it is not fully closed, open the bonnet and repeat the
procedure. Do not simply press it.
For safety reasons, the bonnet must always
be fully closed while travelling. Make sure
that the bonnet is perfectly closed and that
the lock is engaged. If you discover that the bonnet
is not perfectly closed while travelling, stop imme-
diately and close the bonnet in the correct manner.

When the function is active, “S” is displayed on the in-
strument panel. Press the button once again to deacti-
vate the function and return to the standard driving mode.
IMPORTANT The function is activated about 5 seconds
after the SPORT button is pressed.
IMPORTANT The steering may become slightly stiff fol-
lowing parking manoeuvres involving a lot of steering.
This is normal and caused by a system to prevent the mo-
tor from overheating. No servicing is required. The pow-
er steering system will return to normal operation the next
time the car is used.Under no circumstances should after-market
operations be carried out involving steering
system or steering column modifications (e.g.:
installation of anti-theft device). This could nega-
tively affect performance and safety, cause the lapse
of the warranty and also result in vehicle non-com-
pliance with type-approval requirements.
Before servicing the car, switch off the engine
and remove the key from the ignition device to
activate the steering lock. This is especially
important when the car wheels do not touch the
ground. If this is not possible (if the key must be on
MAR or the engine must be running), remove the
main fuse which protects the electric power steering.
