After the 20-second period, the con-
trol unit is ready to receive commands
once more.
If the reason for the malfunction has
been removed, the device will start to
work properly again. If not, it will cut
out once more.“Door open” alarm

Warning light ucomes on when the
coolant is too hot.
Even travelling too slowly when the
outside temperature is very hot can
cause the needle to approach the red
sector. In this case it is better to stop
and turn off the engine. After a few
moments you can start the engine
again and accelerate slightly.
FUEL GAUGE
The instrument shows the level of fu-
el in the tank.
The reserve warning light Kwill light
up to indicate that there are approxi-
mately 5÷8 litres of fuel level left in the
tank and that refuelling is needed as
soon as possible.
Do not travel with the fuel tank al-
most empty: the gaps in fuel delivery
could damage the catalyser.

If the needle is in the red zone, it
shows your vehicle is overrevving.
This is only acceptable for a few mo-
ments.
IMPORTANTThe electronic in-
jection control system cuts off the
flow of fuel when the engine is “over-
revving”. This will lead to a loss of en-
gine power.
When the engine is running idle, the
revolution counter can indicate a
gradual or sudden revolution in-
crease. This is normal and should not
worry you, since it usually happens
during normal operations, such as the
climate system activation or the fan
activation. In particular, a slow revo-
lution variation is needed to preserve
the battery charge.

ways make sure that passengers
cannot be injured either directly
by moving glass or by personal ef-
fects being dragged along or hit
by the glass. Always remove the
ignition key when getting out of
the vehicle to make sure that the
electric windows cannot be acci-
dentally operated and constitute
a hazard for passengers remain-
ing in the vehicle.VERSIONS WITH FRONT

To close the bonnet:
– keep the bonnet up with one hand
and with the other remove the sup-
port rod from the recess and replace
it in its clip;
– Lower the bonnet at approx. 20
cm from the engine compartment and
then let it drop, ensuring that it is ful-
ly closed and not just held in position
by the safety catch. If the bonnet does
not close properly do not push it
down but open it again and repeat the
above procedure.LUGGAGE
AND SKI RACKS
fig. 163
(for versions/markets, where provided)
To use them, proceed as follows:
– hooks are arranged in a special run-
ner along the roof of the vehicle;
– attach the roof rack with the brack-
ets Aplaced at the rack inside base
(2 for each bar). Absolutely prevent
shoes, ties and loose gar-
ments from coming into
contact with moving parts: they
could become entangled and
cause body harm.
If the engine is hot, be
very careful when you put
your hands under the
bonnet as you risk burning your-
self. Remember that while the
engine is hot, the electric fan can
start up and cause injury. Wait
for the engine to cool.
For safety reasons the
bonnet shall always be
perfectly closed when
travelling. Always check for prop-
er bonnet locking. If the bonnet
is left inadvertently open, stop
the car immediately and close
the bonnet.Always make sure the
bonnet is closed properly
so as to prevent it from
opening while travelling.
“Bonnet open” indication
(only available together with
alarm optional)
If, with engine running, the bonnet
is not shut properly, the multifunction
display will show a dedicated message
and the buzzer will sound.
