Driving the vehicle
Running-in
The latest manufacturing techniques have allowed us to achieve high
precision and accuracy levels in the construction and assembly of
components. Nonetheless, the vehicle movable parts undergo a settling
process, basically during the first hours of operation.
Engine and transmission
Avoid exceeding 5,000 RPM for the first 1,000 km.
After starting, do not exceed 4,000 RPM until the engine has warmed up
(oil temperature: 65-70 °C).
Do not let the engine run at a constantly high speed for a prolonged time.
Before a trip
Preliminary checks
Warning
Before setting off always check:
- the seat belts have been positioned and fastened correctly;
- the doors are closed;
- the seat and steering wheel are in the correct position;
- the external and internal rearview mirrors are in the correct position.
Check the following at regular intervals and always before long trips:
●
tyre pressure and condition;
●
levels of fluids and lubricants on the engine;
●
condition of windscreen wiper blades;
●
if the lenses of the external lights and all glazed surfaces are clean;
●
check on the instrument panel that the warning lights and external
lights work correctly.
Important note
In any case, it is advisable to perform these checks at least every 1000
km and always comply with the maintenance schedule found in the
"Warranty Booklet".
Fluids and lubricants
Warning
Use unleaded fuel only!
Using leaded fuel would permanently damage the catalytic converters.
See the table "Fluids and lubricants" for the specifications and quantities
of lubricants and fluids.
Starting the vehicle
System start-up (KEY-ON)
When you perform a KEY-ON, the instrument panel and all the on-board
controls (steering wheel, dashboard, etc.) are switched on: at the same
time, a system diagnosis is carried out. During diagnosis, which lasts 5
seconds, a check is performed on the warning lights on the instrument
panel and a check to see if there are any faults.
If diagnosis detects any errors, they are only displayed once the 5
seconds required for the check have elapsed. The cases listed below are
an exception and errors are displayed as soon as the key is turned to on,
even during diagnosis:
