Note: This Owner’s Manual describes all models of the vehicle; please consider only the information relevant to your vehicle’s

Read This Carefully

REFUELING

Only refuel with unleaded gasoline with a recommended rating of 91 octane. A rating less than 87 octane is not acceptable. Do not use

gasoline containing methanol or ethanol E85. Using these mixtures may cause misfiring and handling issues, as well as damage fundamental

components of the fuel supply system.

STARTING THE ENGINE

If equipped with a manual transmission: Be sure that the parking brake is engaged; place the gear selector in NEUTRAL, fully depress the

clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, and then push the ignition button. The engine will start as soon as the ignition is pushed.

If equipped with an automatic transmission: Be sure that the parking brake is engaged and that the gear selector is in PARK (P) or

NEUTRAL (N), depress the brake pedal, and then push the ignition button. The engine will start as soon as the ignition is pushed.

PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL

The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the vehicle on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other

flammable material: fire hazard.

RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

The vehicle is equipped with a system that carries out a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the

environment.

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES

Contact your authorized dealer if you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery) after buying the

vehicle. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electric system can support the required load.

SCHEDULED SERVICING

Correct maintenance of the vehicle is essential for ensuring that it maintains its performance and its safety features, its environmental

friendliness and low running costs are unchanged over time.

How To Use This Manual

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION

Each time directions (left/right or forward/backwards) are listed, they are determined by facing forward from the rear of the

vehicle or as from the point of view of being seated inside the car. Special cases not complying with this rule will be properly

specified in the text.

The figures in the Owner’s Manual are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do not

correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle. In addition, the Owner’s Manual has been conceived considering vehicles

with steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on vehicles with steering wheel on the right side, the position of

some controls or elements is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure.

To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner’s Manual.

Chapters can be rapidly identified by graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A key showing the order of the chapter and

the corresponding tab symbols appears on another page.

SYMBOLS

While reading this Owner’s Manual you will find a series of WARNINGS that must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use

of the components of the vehicle, which could cause accidents or injuries.

There are also CAUTIONS that must be carefully followed prevent procedures that could damage your vehicle.

Therefore, all WARNINGS and CAUTIONS must always be carefully followed.

WARNINGS and CAUTIONS are recalled in the text with the following symbols:

Personal Safety

Vehicle Safety

Vehicle Modifications / Alterations

Warning!

Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road holding, thus causing accidents, in which the occupants

could be fatally injured.

ACCESSORIES PURCHASED BY THE OWNER

If after buying the vehicle, you decide to install electrical accessories that require a permanent electrical supply (e.g. radio,

satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or accessories that burden the electrical supply, contact your authorized dealer, whose

personnel will check whether the vehicles's electrical system is able to withstand the load required , or whether it needs to be

integrated with a more powerful battery.

Note: Use only floor mats that leave the pedal area unobstructed and that are firmly secured so that they cannot slip out of

position and interfere with the pedals or impair safe operation of your vehicle in other ways.

INSTALLING ELECTRICAL / ELECTRONIC DEVICES

The following regulatory statement applies to all radio frequency (RF) devices equipped in this vehicle:

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules and with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is

subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference.

2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Note: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority

to operate the equipment.

RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE PHONES

Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones, CB radios, amateur radio etc.) cannot be used inside the vehicle unless a

separate aerial is mounted externally.

Transmission and reception of these devices may be affected by the shielding effect of the vehicle body. As far as the use of

EC-approved mobile phones is concerned (GSM, GPRS, UMTS, LTE), follow the usage instructions provided by the mobile

phone Manufacturer.

The use of these devices inside the vehicle (without an external aerial) may cause the electrical systems to malfunction. This

could compromise the vehicle safety in addition to constituting a potential hazard for passengers' health.

If mobile phones/laptops/smartphones/tablets are inside the vehicle and/or close to the electronic key, a reduced performance

of the Advanced Keyless Entry System may occur.

CELL PHONE WARNING

Note: Please comply with the legal regulations concerning the use of communication equipment in vehicles in your country.

Use of any electrical devices such as cell phones, computers, portable radios, vehicle navigation or other devices by the driver

while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. Dialing a number on a cell phone while driving also ties-up the driver's hands. Use of

these devices will cause the driver to be distracted and could lead to a serious accident. If a passenger is unable to use the

device, pull off the right-of-way to a safe area before use. If use of a cell phone is necessary despite this warning, use a

hands-free system to at least leave the hands free to drive the vehicle. Never use a cell phone or other electrical devices while

the vehicle is moving and, instead, concentrate on the full-time job of driving.
