Folding
When required (for example when the
mirror causes difficulty in narrow spaces)
it is possible to fold the mirror moving it
from position 1-fig. 40to position 2.
Powered folding
(where provided)
Press the swinging button A-fig. 41side
1to set the mirror in driving position and
side 2to fold the mirror.When driving the mirrors shall
always be in position 1-fig. 40.
As the driver’s door mirror is
curved, it may slightly alter
the perception of distance.
WARNING
IMPORTANT If the mirror is folded by
hand it shall be returned to driving posi-
tion by hand. If the mirror is folded elec-
trically it can be returned to driving posi-
tion electrically.
Demisting/defrosting
(where provided)
Mirrors are fitted with resistors that will
activate when turning the heated rear win-
dow on (by pressing button
().
IMPORTANT This function is timed and
it will turn off automatically a few minutes
later. The reflecting surface of the
lower part of the mirror is
parabolic to increase the range. Con-
sequently, the dimension of the re-
flected image is reduced, giving the
impression that the object is more dis-
tant than it is in fact.
WARNING
Electrical adjustment
The mirrors can only be adjusted electri-
cally when the key is at MAR. To adjust
mirrors, turn knob Bto one of the fol-
lowing four positions:
ÿ1 left mirror, ⁄2 right mirror, ¤3 left
wide-angle, Ÿ4 right wide-angle
Once the knob has been positioned, move
it in the direction indicated by the arrows
to adjust the reflecting surface of the se-
lected mirror.

This function is particularly useful when
the outside air is heavily polluted (in a traf-
fic jam, tunnel etc.). However, it is better
not to use it for long periods, especially
if there several people in the vehicle.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation
system makes it possible (according to the
selected operating modes) to reach the
required “heating” or “cooling” conditions
faster.
Do not use the air recirculation function
on rainy/cold days as it would consider-
ably increase the possibility of the win-
dows misting inside.

SWITCHING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM ON
The system can be started in different
ways, but it is advisable to press the AU-
TO button and then to turn the knob to
set the temperatures required on the dis-
play.
This way the system will start working
completely automatically to reach the
comfort temperature as quickly as possi-
ble. The system will set air temperature,
quantity and distribution and it will con-
trol the air recirculation function and the
activation of conditioner compressor.During fully automatic operation, the on-
ly manual settings required are the fol-
lowing:
❒Òair recirculation, to keep it always
on or off;
❒Zto speed up demisting/defrosting of
windscreen, front side windows, rear
window and door mirrors;
During full automatic system operation,
you can change at any time set tempera-
ture, air distribution and fan speed by us-
ing the relevant buttons or knobs: the sys-
tem will automatically change its settings
to adjust to the new requirements. During FULL AUTO operation, changing
air distribution and/or flow and/or com-
pressor activation and/or air recirculation
will make the FULL wording disappear. In
this way functions will pass from automatic
control to manual control until pressing
again the AUTO button. With one or
more functions engaged manually, the ad-
justment of the temperature of the air ad-
mitted to the passenger compartment
continues to be controlled automatically
by the system, except with the climate
control compressor off: under this condi-
tion in fact, the temperature of the air ad-
mitted to the passenger compartment
cannot be lower than outside air temper-
ature.

RAIN SENSOR
(where provided)
The rain sensor is located behind the dri-
ving mirror in contact with the windscreen
and has the purpose of automatically ad-
just, during the intermittent operation, the
frequency of the windscreen wiper
strokes as to the rain intensity.
IMPORTANT Keep clean the glass in the
sensor area.
Activation fig. 72
Move the right-hand stalk downwards by
one position B.
The activation of the rain sensor is sig-
nalled by a control acquisition “stroke”.
Turning the knurled ring Fit is possible to
increase the sensitivity of the rain sensor.
The increase of the sensitivity of the rain
sensor is signalled by a control and acqui-
sition “stroke”.
Operating the windscreen washer with
the rain sensor activated the normal wash-
ing cycle is performed at the end of which
the rain sensor resumes its normal auto-
matic function.HEADLIGHT WASHER
(where provided)
Headlight washers are “retractable”, i.e.:
they are located inside the front bumpers
and they are activated when (with dipped
beams on) the windscreen washer is op-
erated.
IMPORTANT Check at regular intervals
correct operation and cleanness of noz-
zles. Deactivation fig. 72
Move the stalk off Bor turn the ignition
key to OFF. At next engine starting (key
at ON), the sensor will not be reactivated
even if the stalk is at B. In this event, to ac-
tivate the rain sensor you have to move
the stalk to Aor Cand then again to B
or turn the knurled ring. Rain sensor acti-
vation will be indicated by at least one
wiper “stroke” even if the windscreen is
dry. The rain sensor is capable of recog-
nizing and adapting automatically to the
difference between day and night.

ceeded. Displayed image will stay on for
approx. 5 seconds after disengaging re-
verse. GENERAL DIRECTIONS
Visible range
The visible range varies according to ve-
hicle conditions (including full load con-
dition), vehicle characteristics and weath-
er conditions (daylight, rain, snow and fog);
with poor light or in full load conditions
the range of visibility may be reduced.
The camera covers a range of approx. 3
m length and approx. 5.5 m max. width
fig. 105.Instructions for use
To clean the camera use a soft cloth when
the protecting glass is dirty or frozen (out-
side). Never use other tools for cleaning
it to prevent scratching the glass.
To clean the display use also a dry soft
cloth. Dust can be removed using proper
brushes provided for the purpose. Nev-
er use detergents.
The display glass may break if blown. In
this event do not touch the leaking fluid.
Rinse immediately with water and soap in
case of accidental contact.

CORRECT USE
OF THE VEHICLE
Acceleration
Accelerating violently increasing the revs
will greatly affect consumption and emis-
sions: acceleration should be gradual and
should not exceed the maximum torque.
CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short journeys and frequent cold starts do
not allow the engine to reach optimum op-
erating temperature. This results in a sig-
nificant increase in consumption levels
(from +15 to +30% on the urban cycle)
and emission of harmful substances.
Traffic and
road conditions
Rather high consumption levels are tied to
situations with heavy traffic, for example
in queues with frequent use of the lower
gears or in cities with many traffic lights.
Also winding mountain roads and rough
road surfaces adversely affect consump-
tion.
Traffic hold-ups
During prolonged hold-ups (level crossings)
the engine should be switched off.TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT NOTES
For towing caravans or trailers the vehi-
cle must be fitted with a certified tow
hook and an adequate electric system. In-
stallation should be carried out by spe-
cialised personnel who release a special
document for circulation on the road.
Install any specific and/or additional rear-
view mirrors as specified by law.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, the brak-
ing spaces increase and overtaking takes
longer depending on the overall weight.
Engage a low gear when driving downhill,
rather than constantly using the brake.
The weight the trailer exerts on the ve-
hicle tow hook reduces by the same
amount the actual vehicle loading capaci-
ty. To make sure the maximum towable
weight is not exceeded (given in the log
book) account should be taken of the ful-
ly laden trailer, including accessories and
personal belongings. DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine when the vehi-
cle is stationary or at high or low speed:
in this way the engine will warm up grad-
ually increasing consumption and emis-
sions. You should drive off slowly straight
away avoiding high revs so that the engine
will warm up more quickly.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid accelerating when waiting at traffic
lights or before switching off the engine.
This and also double declutching is ab-
solutely pointless on modern vehicles and
also increase consumption and pollution.
Gear selection
As soon as the conditions of the traffic and
road allow, use a higher gear. Using a low
gear to obtain brilliant performance in-
creases consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high
gear increases consumption, emissions an
engine wear.
Top speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases
with speed. Avoid superfluous braking and
accelerating, which cost in terms of both
fuel and emissions.
