DIPPED BEAM
HEADLIGHTS
Manual activation
Turn the knurled ring 2 fig. 68 so the
corresponding symbol
on the
instrument panel lights up.
Automatic activation
(For versions/markets where provided)

or the vehicle is closed. In this case,
when the engine is started again, the
low beam headlights go on again
depending on the outside lighting,
without using lever 1 fig. 68.
NOTE When the low beams or fog
lights are on, the lights do not go off
automatically.
"FOLLOW ME HOME" FUNCTION

beam headlights for a short time (e.g. to
provide light when opening the garage
door).
With the lights off, engine stopped and
ring 2 fig. 68 in position 0, pull stalk 1:
the dipped beam headlights will light up
for about 30 seconds. To extend the
time, pull the stalk up to four times (total

MAIN BEAM HEADLIGHTS
Ignition
When the engine is running and the
main beam headlights are on, press the
stalk 1 fig. 68. The
warning light
switches on in the instrument panel. To
go back to the low beam lights, pull the
lever 1 fig. 68 towards you.

acoustic warning signal.
FRONT FOG LIGHTS
Turn the central knurled ring 4 fig. 70 on
the lever 1 until the symbolappears,
then release it. Operation depends on
the exterior light position selected, with
the relative light going on on the
instrument panel.Light function in a curve
In a curve, with parking lights on and in
certain conditions (speed, vehicle angle,
going forward, direction indicators on,
etc.), one of the front fog lights goes on
to light up the curve.
REAR FOG LIGHT
Turn the central knurled ring 4
fig. 70 until the symbolappears in
front of reference 5 fig. 70, then release
it.
Operation depends on the exterior light
position selected, with the relative light
going on on the instrument panel.
Do not forget to turn this light off when
you no longer need it so it does not
bother other drivers.
Switching off
Turn the knurled ring 4 fig. 70 so it
corresponds to the relative symbol of
the front and rear fog lights that you
want to turn off. The warning light goes
off on the instrument panel. When you
turn off the exterior lights, this also
causes the front and rear fog lights to
go off.
IMPORTANT With fog, snow or when
moving items that are longer than the
roof, the automatic light turning on is
not systematic. Turning on front and
rear fog lights is at the driver's
discretion: the warning lights on the
instrument panel indicate they are on
(light on) or off (light off).

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

IMPORTANT The table above contains
several examples. In all cases, adjust
the control A according to the vehicle
load to illuminate the road without
dazzling other drivers.
IMPORTANT If you are driving on the
left in a vehicle equipped for left hand
drive (or vice versa), you must adjust
the headlight orientation for the duration
of the visit.
Adjusting the headlights externally
Open the engine compartment and
identify the B fig. 72 printed near one of
the front lights.
For each light, turn screw 1 fig. 72 a
quarter turn towards the - with a
screwdriver to lower the lights.
Once the parking ends, return to the
original position: turn screw 1 a quarter
turn to the + to raise up the lights.DIRECTION INDICATORS
Lever 1 fig. 73:upwards: engage the right directional
signal;
downwards: engage the left
directional signal.
Press functions
When driving, the steering wheel
manoeuvres can be not enough to
automatically bring the lever back to its
original position. In this case, move the
lever 1 halfway and release it: it will
return to its starting point and the
direction indicator lights will flash three
times.
WARNING
34)Before travelling at night: make sure
the electrical equipment is in good
condition and check the headlight height (if
you do not have your usual load
conditions). Check that nothing interferes
with the headlight beams (dust, mud,
snow, etc.).
35)The daytime running lights are an
alternative to the dipped headlights for
driving during the daytime in countries
where it is compulsory to have lights on
during the day; where it is not compulsory,
the use of daytime running lights is
permitted.
36)Daytime running lights cannot replace
dipped beam headlights when driving at
night or through tunnels. The use of
daytime running lights is governed by the
highway code of the country in which you
are driving. Comply with legal
requirements.
37)When you stop by the side of the road,
if the tailgate is completely open, the rear
lights might not be visible. Warn other road
users that your vehicle is there by placing
the pre-signal triangle or other device
allowed by law in the country you are
driving in.

DEMANDING VEHICLE
USE
If the vehicle is mostly used in one of
the following conditions:
dusty roads;
short, repeated journeys (less than
7-8 km) at sub-zero outside
temperatures;
engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speeds or long periods
of inactivity;
the following checks must be carried
out more often than indicated in the
Scheduled Service Plan:
check front disc brake pad condition
and wear;
check cleanliness of bonnet and
boot locks, cleanliness and lubrication
of linkage;
visually inspect conditions of: engine,
gearbox, transmission, pipes and hoses
(exhaust/fuel system/brakes) and
rubber elements (gaiters/sleeves/
bushes, etc.);
check battery charge and battery
fluid level (electrolyte);
visually inspect conditions of the
accessory drive belts;
check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter;
check and, if necessary, replace
pollen filter;
check and, if necessary, replace air
cleaner.
SERVICING
PROCEDURES
The vehicle respects the recycling
criteria and scrapped vehicle
assessment which came into force in
2015.
Therefore, some of the vehicle’s
components are designed with their
ultimate recycling in mind.
These components can easily be
disassembled to be recovered and
reused in the recycling industry.
Moreover, thanks to its advanced
design, its original setup and its modest
fuel consumption, the vehicle complies
with the anti-pollution regulations in
force. We are actively committed to
reducing polluting gases and saving
energy. But the level of polluting gas
emissions and vehicle consumption
also depend on you. Take care to use
and service your car correctly.
Keep in mind that lack of respect for
anti-pollution laws can expose the
vehicle's owner to administrative
sanctions. Moreover, replacing engine,
fuel system and exhaust parts with
other non-original ones voids the
vehicle's compliance with the
anti-pollution regulations.
168
SERVICING AND CARE

wash the vehicle with high pressure
cleaners;
apply stickers to the painted surfaces
(they might leave traces).
What to do
Wash the vehicle by hand, with lots of
water, using a soft cloth or sponge.
Going through an automatic car
wash
Bring the windscreen wiper to the stop
position (refer to the "Windscreen /
Rearscreen wiper” paragraph in the
"Getting to know your vehicle” chapter).
Check that external equipment is fixed
properly (additional lamps, rearview
mirrors) and remove the radio aerial (for
versions/markets where provided).
Headlight cleaning
Since the headlights are equipped with
plastic materials, use a soft cloth or
cotton pad. If this is not sufficient, wet it
slightly with soapy water, then rinse with
a soft cloth or cotton. Finish by drying
delicately with a soft, dry cloth. Do not
use alcohol based detergents or tools
(e.g. a scraper).
Windows
(e.g.: the instrument panel, clock,
outside temperature display panel,
radio display panel, multi-media or
multi-function display panel, etc.)Use a soft, cotton cloth. If this is not
sufficient, use a soft cloth (or a cotton
pad) slightly wetted with soapy water,
then rinse with a soft cloth or wet
cotton.
Finish by drying delicately with a soft,
dry cloth.
Do not use alcohol-based products
and/or atomisers on the area.
WARNING
225)In order to preserve the aesthetic
appearance of the paint, abrasive products
and/or polishes should not be used for
cleaning the vehicle.
226)Avoid washing with rollers and/or
brushes in washing stations. Wash the
vehicle only by hand using neutral pH
detergents; dry it with a dampened
chamois leather. Abrasive products and/or
polishes should not be used for cleaning
the vehicle. Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thoroughly as
the acid they contain is particularly
aggressive. Avoid (if at all possible) parking
the vehicle under trees; remove vegetable
resins immediately as, when dried, it may
only be possible to remove them with
abrasive products and/or polishes, which is
highly inadvisable as they could alter the
typical opaqueness of the paint. Do not
use pure windscreen washer fluid for
cleaning the front windscreen and rear
window; dilute it min. 50% with water. Only
use pure screen washer fluid when strictly
necessary due to outside temperature
conditions.
IMPORTANT
7)Detergents pollute the environment. The
vehicle should be washed in areas
equipped for collecting and purifying the
liquid used in the washing process.
