How To Use This Manual
ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
Each time directions (left/right or forward/backwards) are listed, they are determined by facing forward from the rear of the
vehicle or as from the point of view of being seated inside the car. Special cases not complying with this rule will be properly
specified in the text.
The figures in the Owner’s Manual are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do not
correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle. In addition, the Owner’s Manual has been conceived considering vehicles
with steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on vehicles with steering wheel on the right side, the position of
some controls or elements is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure.
To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner’s Manual.
Chapters can be rapidly identified by graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A key showing the order of the chapter and
the corresponding tab symbols appears on another page.
SYMBOLS
While reading this Owner’s Manual you will find a series ofWARNINGSto prevent procedures that could damage your vehicle.
There are also CAUTIONSthat must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use of the components of the vehicle, which
could cause accidents or injuries.
Therefore, all WARNINGS andCAUTIONS must always be carefully followed.
WARNINGS andCAUTIONS are recalled in the text with the following symbols:
personal safety

environmental protection

RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones, CB radios, amateur radio etc.) cannot be used inside the vehicle unless a
separate aerial is mounted externally.
Transmission and reception of these devices may be affected by the shielding effect of the vehicle body. As far as the use of
EC-approved mobile phones is concerned (GSM, GPRS, UMTS, LTE), follow the usage instructions provided by the mobile
phone Manufacturer.
The use of these devices inside the vehicle (without an external aerial) may cause the electrical systems to malfunction. This
could compromise the vehicle safety in addition to constituting a potential hazard for passengers' health.
If mobile phones/laptops/smartphones/tablets are inside the vehicle and/or close to the electronic key, a reduced performance
of the Advanced Keyless Entry System may occur.
CELL PHONE WARNING
IMPORTANT: Please comply with the legal regulations concerning the use of communication equipment in vehicles in your
country. Use of any electrical devices such as cell phones, computers, portable radios, vehicle navigation or other devices by
the driver while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. Dialing a number on a cell phone while driving also ties-up the driver's
hands. Use of these devices will cause the driver to be distracted and could lead to a serious accident. If a passenger is unable
to use the device, pull off the right-of-way to a safe area before use. If use of a cell phone is necessary despite this warning, use
a hands-free system to at least leave the hands free to drive the vehicle. Never use a cell phone or other electrical devices while
the vehicle is moving and, instead, concentrate on the full-time job of driving.
