TRIP COMPUTER
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Trip computer is used to dis play information on car
operation when the ke y i s turned to MAR. This function
i s compos ed of separate trips , called “Trip A” and “Trip
B” which can monitor the entire mi ssion (journey) in a
reciprocally independent manner.
Both function s can be res et (reset means s tart of a new
journey ). “Trip A” is used to dis play the figures relat-
ing to:
– Range
– Trip dis tance
– Average cons umption
– Ins tantaneous consumption
– Average s peed
– Travel time (driving time).
– Trip A Res et
“Trip B” may be used to dis play the figures relating to:
– Dis tance travelled B
– Average cons umption B
– Average s peed B
– Trip time B (driving time).
– Trip B Res et N.B. “Trip B” ma
y be dis abled (s ee “Activating T
rip B”).
“Range” and “In stant cons umption” parameters cannot
be res et.

Range
This indicates the approximate di stance which can be trav-
elled with the amount of fuel pre sent in the tank. The di s-
play will s how the reading ‘----’ when the following events
take place:
– range value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– in cas e of car parked with engine running for an ex-
tended period.
IMPORTANT The range can be affected b y s everal fac-
tors : driving s ty le (s ee “Driving s ty le” in the “S tarting and
driving” chapter), ty pe of route (motorway , towns and
cities , mountain roads , etc.), conditions of use (load, ty re
pressures , etc.). Trip planning mus t therefore take the
above into account.

This indicates the approximate dis tance covered from the

bulbs light the car interior when the main beam headlight s
or dipped beam headlight s are on.
IMPORTANT The roof light, for some vers ions, may also
be in a rear central pos ition (electric sun roof vers ion).
IMPORTANT Before getting out of the car, make sure both
s witches are in the middle po sition; when the door s are
clos ed, the lights s witch off preventing a possible dis charge
of the battery . In any case, if the s witch is left in on pos i-

❍ for ar

ound 10 s econds when the front door s are un-
locked;
❍ for about 3 minutes when one of the side doors is
opened;
❍ for about 10 seconds when the door s are clos ed.
The timed period is interrupted when the ignition i s turned
to “MAR”. Timing while getting out of the vehicle
After removing the key
from the ignition, the roof light s
s witch on according to the following mode s:
❍ within 2 minutes of the engine being switched off for
a period of about 10 seconds ;
❍ when one of the side doors is opened for a period of
about 3 minute s;
❍ when one of the door s i s clos ed for a period of about
10 seconds .

FUEL CUT-OFF SYSTEM
This intervenes in the case of an impact cau sing:
❍ cut off of fuel s upply with res ultant engine s hut down;
❍ automatic door lock relea se;
❍ activation of all light s ins ide the car.
The intervention of the system is indicated by a message
s hown on the di splay .
Carefully check the car for fuel leaks , for instance in the
engine compartment, under the car or near the tank area.
Following a collis ion, turn the ignition ke y to S TOP to
avoid draining the batter y. To r e
store correct car operation, follow thi s procedure:
❍ turn the ignition ke y 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 key to STOP;
❍ turn the ignition ke y to MAR.
If, after a crash, you smell fuel or notice leaks
from the fuel supply system, do not reset the

If you travel in areas with few filling stations
and you want to transport fuel in a spare
tank, comply with the regulations in force and
use only an approved, suitably secured tank. Any-
way, by doing so, you increase the risk of fire in case
of an accident with your vehicle.
Be careful not to hit objects on the storage
shelf when you open the tailgate.
Never exceed the maximum allowed load in
the luggage compartment; see chapter 6. Al-
so make sure that the objects you place in the
luggage compartment have been properly secured,
to avoid them from being thrown forward conse-
quent to sudden braking and injuring your passen-
gers. Never travel with the tailgate open: exhaust
gases may get into the passenger’s compartment.

REFUELLING THE CAR
OPERATION AT LOW TEMPERATURES
If the outside temperature is very low, dies el thickens due
to the formation of paraffin clot s with cons equent defec-
tive operation of the fuel s upply system.
In order to avoid the se problems , different ty pes of dies el
are dis tributed according to the s eason: summer ty pe, win-
ter ty pe and arctic ty pe (cold/mountain area s). If refu-
elling with dies el fuel whose specifications are not suitable
for the current temperature, it is advisable to mix
TUTELA DIE SEL ART additive in the proportions s hown
on the container. Pour the additive into the tank before
the dies el fuel.
When us ing or parking the vehicle for a long time in the
mountains or cold areas , it is advis able to refuel us ing lo-
cally available die sel fuel.
In this case, it is also advis able to keep the tank over 50%
full.
RADIO TRANS
MITTERS AND MOBILE PHONE S
Radio trans mitter equipment (vehicle mobile phone s, CB
radios , amateur radio etc.) cannot be u sed ins ide the car
unless a s eparate aerial i s mounted on the r

oof.
IMPORTANT The us e of such devices inside the passenger
compartment (without a separate aerial), may cause the
car’ s electronic systems to malfunction. This could com-
promis e safety in addition to cons tituting a potential haz-
ard for passengers .
In addition, tran smission and reception of the se devices
may be affected by the shielding effect of the vehicle body .
A s far as the us e of EC-approved mobile phone s i s con-
cerned (GSM, GPRS , UMTS ), follow the u sage ins truc-
tions pr

ovided b y the mobile phone manufacturer.

To refuel, press flap A to relea se it and acce ss the fuel tank
cap. The flap i s locked with the central locking on.
Undo cap B which has a device C retaining it to the flap so
it cannot be los t. The sealing may cause a slight pressure
increas e in the tank. A little breathing off, while slackening
the cap i s abs olutely normal.
When refuelling, attach the cap to the device in side the flap

fig. 86L0E0060m
For diesel engines, only use diesel fuel for
motor vehicles in accordance with EN590 Eu-
ropean specifications. The use of other prod-
ucts or mixtures may damage the engine beyond re-
pair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due
to the damage caused. If you accidentally refuel with
another type of fuel, do not start the engine, and
drain the tank. If the engine has run, even for a very
short time, you will need to have the entire fuel sup-
ply system emptied in addition to the tank.
FILLING THE TANK
To fill the tank completel y, top-up twice after the fir st click
of the fuel s upply gun. Further top-up s could caus e fail-
ures in the fuel s upply system.
Do not bring naked flames or lit cigarettes
near the fuel tank filler: fire risk. Keep your
face away from the fuel filler to prevent
breathing in harmful vapours.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The following devices are us ed for reducing emi ssions:
❍ oxidizing catal ytic converter;
❍ exhaus t gas recirculation system (EG R).
❍ dies el particulate filter (DPF) (for ver sions /markets ,
where provided).
Under normal operating conditions, the cat-
alytic converter becomes very hot. Do not
park the vehicle on grass, dry leaves, pine
needles or other flammable material: fire hazard.
