IMPORTANT
WARNING
Before opening the bonnet,
make sure that the car is
switched off and the key is in the OFF
position. Follow the instructions on
the plate near the front crossmember
fig. 107. It is advisable to extract the
key when there are other people in
the car. The car should always be
evacuated after the key has been re-
moved or turned to the OFF position.
During refuelling operations, it is nec-
essary to make sure that the car is off
with the ignition key in the OFF po-
sition.
WARNING
For cars with a robotised
transmission, if the engine
cuts out automatically on a gradient,
it is advisable to restart the engine by
moving the gear lever towards (+) or
(-) without releasing the brake pedal.
For vehicles with Dualogic transmis-
sion, where the Hill Holder function
is present, if the engine cuts out au-
F0M0511m
tomatically whilst on a hill, it is ad-
visable to restart it by moving the
gear lever towards (+) or towards (-)
without releasing the brake pedal to
make the Hill Holder function –
which is active only when the engine
is running – available.
