the direction indicators (for versions/markets,
where provided). The doors are locked if the
luggage compartment is open
When a speed of over 20 km/h is reached, the
doors are automatically locked if this specific
function has been set (only on versions with
multi-function reconfigurable display).When the doors are locked from outside the car

Electrical devices
Only use electrical devices for the amount of time
needed. The heated rear window, additional
headlights, windscreen 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
The use of the climate control system leads to
higher fuel consumption. If the temperature
outside permits, try to use ventilation only.
Devices for aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified devices for aerodynamic
control may adversely affect air drag and fuel
consumption.
DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine with the car at a
standstill or at idle or high speed: under these
conditions the engine warms up much more
slowly, increasing 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.

SAVING FUEL
Here are some suggestions which can help you to
save fuel and lower harmful emissions.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in
accordance with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressure at least once every 4
weeks: if the pressure is too low, consumption
levels increase as resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight
of the car and its arrangement greatly affect fuel
consumption and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof
after use. These accessories lower aerodynamic
penetration and adversely affect consumption
levels. When transporting particularly large
objects, use a trailer if possible.

MAIN BEAMS (blue)
The warning light switches on when the main
beams are turned on.
LEFT-HAND DIRECTION
INDICATOR (green) (intermittent)
The light comes on when the direction indicator
control stalk is moved downwards or, together
with the right-hand indicator, when the hazard
warning light button is pressed.
RIGHT-HAND DIRECTION
INDICATOR (green) (intermittent)
The warning light turns on when the direction
indicator control lever is moved upwards or,
together with the left indicator, when the hazard
warning light button is pressed.
“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING ON (green)
The CITY indication appears (an icon appears on
the display on some versions) when "Dualdrive"
electric power steering is activated by pressing the
corresponding button (see the "Dualdrive electric
power steering" paragraph in the "Knowing
your car" section). Press the button again
to switch off the CITY indication (or the icon on
the display).
DOORS/BONNET/LUGGAGE
COMPARTMENT OPEN
The warning light switches on (on some versions
together with a message and a symbol in the
display) when one or more doors, the boot or the
bonnet or the tailgate are not properly closed.
An acoustic signal is activated with the doors open
and the car moving.

CHECKING FLUID LEVELS
WARNING
Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and
inflammable vapours may be present, with the
risk of fire.
WARNING
Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine
is hot: you may get burned. Remember that
the fan may start up if the engine is hot: this
could injure you. Scarves, ties and other loose
clothing might be pulled by moving parts.
Be careful, when topping up, and take
care not to mix up the various types
of fluids: they are all incompatible with
one another and could seriously damage the
car.
