KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
In-depth knowledge of your new vehicle
starts here.
The booklet that you are reading simply
and directly explains how it is made
and how it works.
That’s why we advise you to read it
seated comfortably on board, so that
you can see what is described here for
yourself.SYMBOLS ...................................... 11

WARNING
45) For safety reasons, the bonnet
must always be perfectly closed
while travelling. Make sure that
the bonnet is perfectly closed and
that the lock is engaged. If you
notice when driving that the
bonnet has not been properly
locked, stop immediately
and close the bonnet correctly.
46) Incorrect positioning of the stay
rod may cause the bonnet to drop
suddenly.
47) Perform these operations only
when the vehicle is stationary.
ROOF RACK/SKI
RACK
To fit the roof/ski rack, with provision for
versions H1 and H2, use the pins A
provided on the edges of the roof fig.
123.
Long wheelbase vehicles are equipped
with 8 pins; short or medium
wheelbase vehicles are equipped with 6
pins; vehicles with extra-long
wheelbases are equipped with 10 pins.
48) 49)
6) 7)
IMPORTANT Follow the instructions
contained in the assembly kit carefully.
Assembly must be performed by
qualified personnel.
WARNING
48) After travelling for a few
kilometres, check to ensure that
the fixing screws for the
attachments are well tightened.
49) Evenly distribute the load and
take into account, when driving,
the increased responsiveness
of the vehicle to side wind.
IMPORTANT
6) The size of the loads you
transport must strictly comply
with currently applicable
regulations.
7) Never exceed the maximum
permitted loads (see “Technical
specifications” section).

Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack
from the roof after use. These
accessories decrease aerodynamic
penetration of the vehicle and have a
negative effect on fuel consumption.
When transporting particularly large
objects, use a trailer if possible.
Electric devices
Use electrical devices only for the
amount of time needed. The heated
rear window, additional headlights,
windscreen/rear window wipers and
heater fan need a considerable amount
of energy, therefore increasing fuel
consumption (by up to 25% in
the urban cycle).
Climate control system
Air conditioning leads to higher fuel
consumption (on average up to +20%).
If the temperature outside permits, try
and use the ventilation only.
Devices for
aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified spoilers may
adversely affect air drag and fuel
consumption.DRIVING STYLE
The main driving styles that affect fuel
consumption are listed below.
Cranking
Do not warm up the engine at low or
high revs when the vehicle is stationary;
this causes the engine to warm up
more slowly, thereby increasing fuel
consumption and emissions. It is
therefore advisable to move off
immediately, slowly, avoiding high
speeds: in this way the engine will
warm up more quickly.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid accelerating when stopped at
traffic lights or before switching off the
engine. This action and also double
declutching is absolutely pointless on
modern cars and also increases
consumption and pollution.
Gear selection
As soon as the conditions of the traffic
and road permit, use a higher gear.
Using a low gear for faster acceleration
will increase consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high
gear increases consumption, emissions
and engine wear.Max. speed
Fuel consumption increases
considerably with speed. Maintain a
constant speed, avoiding unnecessary
braking and acceleration, which cost
in terms of both fuel consumption and
emissions.
Acceleration
Accelerating violently will greatly affect
consumption and emissions:
acceleration should be gradual.
USAGE CONDITIONS
The main usage conditions that
negatively affect fuel consumption are
listed below.
Cold starting
Short journeys and frequent cold starts
do not allow the engine to reach
optimum operating temperature.
This results in a significant increase in
consumption levels (from +15 to +30%
on the urban cycle) and emissions.
189

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the tables below are determined on the basis of the type-approval tests laid down by
specific European Directives.
These consumption values refer to basic vehicles without optionals.
The procedures below are followed for measuring consumption:
❒urban cycle: begins with cold starting, followed by driving simulating the use of the vehicle in town;
❒extra-urban cycle: driving that simulates using the vehicle out of town with frequent acceleration in all gears; the speed varies
from 0 to 120 km/h;
❒combined consumption: calculated with a weighting of approximately 37% of the urban cycle and 63% of the extra-urban
cycle.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic situations, weather conditions, driving style, general conditions of the vehicle, trim
level/equipment/accessories, climate control system, vehicle load, roof rack, other situations that affect aerodynamics or air
drag may lead to different fuel consumption levels than those measured.
