OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Each time directioninstructions (left/rightor forwards/backwards) about the vehicleare given, these must be understood as
regarding an occupant in the driver's seat. Special cases not complying with this rule willbe specified as appropriate in the text.
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 tothe 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.

key for getting to know the chapter orderand the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is in any case a textual indication of the
current chapter atthe side of each even page.
