USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Each time an instruction is given that concerns direction (left/right or forward/backward), it is written to be read from the
perspective of an occupant in the driver's seat. If a direction is written from a different perspective, it will be specified as such in
the text as appropriate.
The figures in the Owner Handbook 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 car. In addition, the Handbook 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 or
construction of some controls is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure.
To identify the section with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner Handbook.
The sections can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further there is
a key for getting to know the section order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is in any case a textual indication of the
current section at the side of each even page.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
While reading this Owner Handbook you will find a series of WARNINGS to prevent procedures that could damage your car.
There are also CAUTIONS that must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use of the components of the car, which could
cause accidents or injuries.
Therefore, all WARNINGS and CAUTIONS must always be carefully followed.
WARNINGS and CAUTIONS are recalled in the text with the following symbols:
personal safety;
car safety;
environmental protection.
NOTE These symbols, when necessary, are indicated besides the title or at the end of the line and are followed by a number.
That number recalls the corresponding warning at the end of the relevant section.
NOTE Where the text refers to the "conventional battery", it means the 12 V service lead battery located in the engine
compartment; where the text refers to the "auxiliary battery", it means the 12 V lithium drive battery for the hybrid system,
located under the left seat.
