WASHING THE CAR
After using the vehicle off-road (with sig-
nificant contact of wheels, bodywork, be-
low-engine covers and underbody pro-
tection), please remember that you should
always wash it, cleaning the radiators care-
fully (engine cooling and conditioner), the
radiator fan, the wheels (rims and wheel-
houses), the protection covers below the
engine and underbody. This will help pre-
serve correct radiator operation in addi-
tion to ensuring good ventilation of the
brake discs and perfect balance of the
wheels. It will also guarantee that the
transmission shaft functions correctly.
TOWING THE CAR
The vehicle can only be towed in one of
the following ways (and always with the
engine off, gear set to neutral and hand
brake off):
- with the 4 wheels on the road base;
- with the front wheels raised or resting
on an emergency vehicle and the rear
wheels resting on a specific trolley;
- with the rear wheels raised or resting on
an emergency vehicle and the front wheels
resting on a specific trolley;
- loaded on the platform of the emergency
means, with all 4 wheels on the platform.
TOWING TRAILERS
WARNING In the event of prolonged ve-
hicle use at maximum tow capacity on
slopes, please replace engine oil more fre-
quently (every 10,000 km).
With regards to the warnings and provi-
sions for the installation of the tow hook,
please see that specified in the attached
Use and Maintenance manual.

Drive
Keep your speed down when
snow chains are fitted. Do
not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid potholes,
steps and pavements and also avoid
driving long distances on roads not
covered with snow in order to prevent
damaging the car and the roadbed.The snow chains may be ap-
plied only onto the front
wheel tyres.
SNOW CHAINS
Use of snow chains should be in compli-
ance with local regulations.
Chains can be fitted on 165/70 R14 81T
M+S tyres. For tyres to which chains can
be fitted, only use compact chains (maxi-
mum extension beyond tyre profile 9 mm).

FUEL
CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the
table below are determined on the basis
of the homologation tests laid down by
specific European Directives.
The procedures below are followed for
measuring consumption:
❒urban cycle: cold starting followed by
driving that simulates urban use of the
car;
❒extra urban cycle: driving simulating
the use of the vehicle in a non-urban
situation with frequent acceleration in
all gears; the speed varies between 0
and 120 km/h;
❒combined consumption: calculated
weighing about 37% of urban cycle
consumption and about 63% of extra
urban consumption.WARNING The type of route, traffic sit-
uations, weather conditions, driving style,
general conditions of the car, trim lev-
el/equipment/accessories, load, climate
control system, roof rack, other situations
that affect air drag may lead to different
fuel consumption levels than those mea-
sured.
WARNING To optimise fuel consump-
tion, where the road is flat and the en-
gine warm (after 3 or 4 minutes from
start-up), we recommend starting in sec-
ond gear.
