REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol
with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in
compliance with the European Standard EN228.
The use of petrol that does not conform to
the above-mentioned specification will cause the
EOBD warning light to come on and the irregular
operation of the engine.
Diesel engines: refuel only with diesel fuel
conforming to the European specification EN590.
The use of other products or mixtures may
damage the engine beyond repair and
consequently invalidate the warranty.

TRIP COMPUTER
General information
The Trip computer is used to display information on
car operation when the key is turned to MAR.
This function is composed of separate trips, called
“Trip A” and “Trip B” which can monitor the entire
mission (journey) in a reciprocally independent
manner.
Both functions can be reset (reset means start of a
new journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
❒ Range
❒ Distance travelled
❒ Average consumption
❒ Current consumption
❒ Average speed
❒ Trip time (driving time).
“Trip B” may be used to display the figures relating
to:
❒ Distance travelled B
❒ Average consumption B
❒ Average speed B
❒ Trip time B (driving time).
Note The “Trip B” function may be disabled (see
“Activating Trip B”). “Range” and “Instant
consumption" parameters cannot be reset.
Values displayed
Range
This value shows the distance that the car can still
cover before needing fuel, assuming that driving style
is unvaried. “----”will appear on the display in
the following cases:
❒ range value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
❒ car parked with engine running for a long period.
IMPORTANT The range can be affected by several
factors: driving style (see “Driving style” paragraph in
the “Starting and driving” chapter), type of route
(motorway, towns and cities, mountain roads, etc.),
conditions of use (load, tyre pressures, etc.). Trip
planning must therefore take the above into account.
Distance travelled
This value shows the distance covered from the start
of the new journey.
Average consumption
This value shows the approximate average fuel
consumption from the start of the new journey.
Current consumption
This value shows the fuel consumption. The value is
constantly updated. The display will show “----”
if the car is parked with the engine running.

the overall time elapsed since the start of the new
journey.
Journey time
Time elapsed since the start of the new journey.
TRIP control button
The TRIP button is located on the right hand stalk
fig. 15. With the ignition key turned to MAR-ON,
this button allows you to view the previously
described parameters and also zero them to begin a
new mission:
❒ brief press to access the various parameter
displays;
❒ long press to reset and then start a new mission.
New mission
It begins after a reset:
❒ “manual” resetting by the user, by pressing the
relevant button;
❒ “automatic” resetting, when the “Trip distance”
reaches 9999.9 km or when the “Travel time”
reaches 99:59 (99 hours and 59 minutes);
❒ disconnection/reconnection of the battery.
IMPORTANT The reset operation when “Trip A” or
“Trip B” details are being displayed resets the
information associated with the function displayed.
Start of journey procedure
With the ignition key in the MAR-ON position, reset
by pressing the TRIP button and keeping it pressed
for more than 2 seconds.
Exit Trip
You can automatically exit the TRIP function once all
the values have been displayed or by holding the

it locks.
Downwards adjustment: press the button A
fig. 21 and lower the head restraint.

To make the best use of the head
restraint protective action, adjust the
backrest so that you are setting upright and
keep your head as close as possible to the head
restraint.
REAR

To extract the rear head restraints press buttons B
fig. 22 and C fig. 22 at the side of the two supports
simultaneously and upwards. The rear head restraints
must be lifted out with the backrest released and
tilted toward the passenger compartment or with
the tailgate open. To bring the head restraint to the
