carried out to ensure that it is working
properly. Ensure that the data label
is renewed after every check and that
the label contains the specified data.SELF-LEVELLING AIR

GENERAL INFORMATION
The system only acts on the rear
wheels.
The system maintains the rear ride
setting for the vehicle constant in any
loading condition, while ensuring a
greater driving comfort.
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
There are 7 pre-defined levels for the
free height from the ground: from “ride
-3” to “ride 0” till “ride +3”.
The trim is shown on the multifunction
display
Automatic adjustment
When moving, the system automatically
shows that the vehicle is in 'ride setting
0' and keeps it constant.
While adjusting, the LED located on the
button (A or B fig. 89) corresponding
to the direction of travel, flashes.
Manual adjustment
5)
With the vehicle stationary and the
engine on or off, the desired height level
can be set.Pressing button A, for less than 1
second, selects the next level
up. Keeping button A pressed for more
than 1 second directly selects the
maximum level: "ride setting +3".
Pressing button B, for less than 1
second, selects the next level down.
Keeping button B pressed, for more
than 1 second, selects the minimum
level directly: "ride setting -3".
During the adjustment the LED located
on the button (A or B) corresponding
to the direction of travel, flashes.
If, after selecting a button, the LED
remains lit up (for about 5 seconds)
rather than flashing, this means that the
adjustment is temporarily unavailable.
Possible causes may be as follows:insufficient air reserve: the function is
restored by starting the engine;

the system has reached a threshold
working temperature: wait a few
minutes to let it cool down before
operating the buttons again.
The level selected with the vehicle
stationary is maintained up to a speed
of about 20 km/h; when this speed
is exceeded, the system will
automatically restore the normal level:
"ride setting 0".

(for versions/markets, where provided)
The G.S.I. system (Gear Shift Indicator)
advises the drives when to shift gear
via a dedicated indication on the
instrument panel.
Through the GSI, the driver is notified
that changing gear will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption.
When the SHIFT UP icon (
SHIFT) is
shown on the display, the G.S.I. is
advising the driver to engage a higher
gear, and when the SHIFT DOWN
(
SHIFT) icon is displayed, the G.S.I. is
advising the driver to engage a lower
gear.
IMPORTANT The indication in the
display remains on until the driver shifts
gear or the driving conditions go back
to a situation where gearshifting is
not required to improve consumption.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL
GAUGE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The gauge provides a graphic indication
of the level of oil in the engine.
When the ignition key is turned to the
MAR position, the display fig. 98 -
fig. 99 shows the oil level by turning
on/off five symbols.
The gradual switching off of the
symbols indicates a decreasing oil level.Four or five symbols light up to indicate
a sufficient level of oil in the sump. If
the fifth symbol is not lit, this does not
indicate a fault or that insufficient oil
is present in the sump.
If the oil level is lower than the minimum
required value, the display shows a
dedicated message indicating minimum
engine oil level and the need for a
top-up.
IMPORTANT To find out the correct oil
quantity, always check using the
dipstick (see paragraph “Checking
levels” in the section “Maintenance and
care”).
After a few seconds, the symbol display
indicating the amount of engine oil
disappears and:
When the next scheduled servicing
intervention is approaching, the time
to the next service is displayed and the
õ symbol lights up on the display.
When the service date is reached, the
display shows a dedicated message;
Later on, if the time for changing the
engine oil is getting close, the distance
until the next oil change will appear
on the display. When the service interval
has expired a dedicated warning will
be shown on the display.CONTROL BUTTONS
