WARNING
● The retaining rings are designed to only be used with ISOFIX child
seats.
● Never secure child seats without the ISOFIX system, retaining belts or
objects to the fastening rings – this can result in potentially fatal injuries
to the child.
● Ensure that the child seat is secured correctly to the ISOFIX anchor
points.

Top Tether retainer straps
Some child restraint seats have a third Top Tether anchoring
point, apart from both “ISOFIX” anchoring points, which al-
low better child retention.
Fig. 27 Position of the
Top Tether rings on the
back of the rear seat
Child seats with the Top Tether system come with a strap for securing the
seat to the vehicle anchor point, located at the back of the rear seat back-
rest. 

50Child safety
The retainer strap is used to reduce forwards movements of the safety seat
in a crash, helping reduce the risk of injuries to the head from hitting the
inside of the vehicle.
It is foreseen that an EU Directive will introduce requirements related to the
retention of child restraint systems by means of ISOFIX and Top Tether an-
chorages (probably compulsory for new types from 2010), which will entail
improved retention of the child restraint seat and less head movement in
case of frontal collisions.
Use of retainer straps on rear-facing seats
At present there are very few rear-facing child safety seats fitted with a re-
tainer strap. Please carefully read and follow the safety seat manufacturer's
instructions for information on how to install the retainer strap properly.
WARNING
An undue installation of the safety seat will increase the risk of injury in
the event of a crash.
● Never tie the retainer strap to a hook in the luggage compartment.
● Never secure or tie luggage or other items to the lower anchorages
(ISOFIX) or the upper ones (Top Tether).

to the manufacturer's instructions.
– Guide the Top Tether fastening belt under the rear seat head re-
straint ⇒ Fig. 28 (lift the head restraint where necessary).
– Slide the belt so that the Top Tether belt of the child restraint
seat is correctly secured to the anchor on the back of the rear
seat.

Rev counter
The rev counter displays the engine speed in revolutions per
minute.
The start of the red zone ⇒ Fig. 30 1
indicates the maximum engine speed
operating at service temperature. However, it is advisable to change up into
a higher gear, move the selector lever to D or lift your foot off the accelerator
before the needle reaches the red zone.
CAUTION
To prevent possible engine malfunctions, the rev counter needle should not
reach the red zone. The start of the red zone on the dial is different for some
engine versions.
For the sake of the environment
Changing up into higher gears sooner, following the recommended gear in-
dications ⇒ Fig. 33 will help you to reduce fuel consumption, emissions and
also engine noise. 
Speedometer
The speedometer is equipped with a digital odometer and a trip recorder, in
addition to a service intervals display.
During the running-in period, the instructions shown on ⇒ page 167
should be followed. LPG system*
LPG gauge

el: gas gauge.
LPG system filler level display
The LPG tank ⇒ 
in the spare wheel well has a capacity of 52.8 litres at an
outside temperature of 15°C ⇒ page 189, Refuelling with LPG.
The charge level can be checked on the analogue gas gauge located on the
instrument panel ⇒ Fig. 31. When the level reaches reserve, the gas reserve
warning lamp lights up and an audible warning is heard. Refill with LPG at
the earliest opportunity.
If, while driving in LPG mode, a sudden audible warning is heard and the
warning ERROR FUNC_ A GAS is displayed on the screen 1)
, it means that
there is a fault in the LPG system. Take the vehicle to a specialised work-
shop to check the LPG system. 

WARNING
LPG is a highly explosive and inflammable substance. It may cause se-
vere burns and other injury.
● Due care must be taken to avoid any risk of fire or explosion.
● When parking the vehicle in a closed area (for example in a garage),
make sure that there is adequate ventilation, either natural or mechani-
cal, to neutralise the LPG in the event of a leak.
Note
● The values shown in the average fuel consumption and distance to emp-
ty indications on the multifunction display (MFI) 1)
on the instrument panel 2)
are approximate values only.
● Two different consumption values are given on the MFI, depending on
whether the vehicle is running in GAS or Petrol mode.
● Please check the fuel level on the fuel level gauge on the instrument
panel ⇒ page 57
● If frequent short journeys are made, especially when the outside tem-
perature is low, the vehicle will tend to run on petrol more often than on
LPG. Therefore, the petrol tank may empty before the LPG tank. Digital instrument panel display
Fuel gauge  and reserve indicator

Instrument panel: fuel gauge
The fuel tank has a capacity of approx. 45 litres.
When the needle reaches the reserve zone ⇒ Fig. 32, the warning lamp will
light and an audible warning will sound reminding the driver to refuel. At
this point there are still 7 litres of fuel in the tank. 

Digital clock*
–To set the hour, press button 4 ⇒ Fig. 30. The “hour” option
flashes on the digital display and is set using button 5 “set”
⇒ Fig. 30.
– To set the minutes, press button 4
again and select the mi-
nute option. Set from button 5 “set”.
Once the operation has been carried out, the system memorises the time. 
Outside temperature indicator
The outside temperature is displayed when the ignition is
switched on. In addition to the outside temperature display, an ice crystal is displayed
and, if vehicle speed is over 10 km/h (6 mph), a warning tone is heard at
temperatures dropping from between +4°C and -7°C and at temperatures
rising from -5°C up to +6°C.
The lighting of the crystal symbol aims to warn the driver of the risk of ice,
so that he/she proceeds with due care.
When the vehicle is stationary or travelling at very low speeds, the tempera-
ture displayed may be slightly higher than the actual outside temperature
as a result of heat coming from the engine. Recommended gear display*
This display helps to save fuel.
Fig. 33 Gear display
Use the gear display to save fuel. If you are not in the correct gear, a triangle
will appear next to the gear display indicating whether you should change
up or down ⇒ Fig. 33.
Note
The gear change indication should not be taken into account the accelera-
tion is required (for example when overtaking). 
