• Then open normally the fuel filler
door.
Driving Conditions
Before the Trip
Check the following at regular
intervals and always before long trips:
• tire pressure and condition;
• levels of fluids and lubricants;
• conditions of the windshield wiper
blades;
• clean the glass on the external light
and all other glass surfaces;
• proper operation of the warning
lights and of the external lights.
CAUTION!
It is however advisable to perform
these checks at least every 600 mi
(1,000 km) and always following the
maintenance schedule reported in
section 7.
Before you drive:
• adjust seat position, steering wheel,
adjustable pedals (if equipped with)
and rear-view mirrors in order to
have the best driving position;
• ensure that nothing (floor mats, etc.)
is obstructing the pedals movement;
• carefully arrange and secure any
objects in the trunk, to prevent them
from moving forward in case of
sudden stops;
• avoid drinking alcohol.
WARNING!
Beyond being prohibited by law, it is
extremely dangerous to ride inside the
trunk or on the front hood. In the
event of an accident, passengers
sitting there are more exposed to the
risk of serious injury. Passengers must
only travel seated in the vehicle seats,
with the seat belts fastened. Always
check that the driver and all
passengers have their seat belts
correctly fastened.
Safe Driving
Although the vehicle is equipped with
active and passive safety devices, the
driver's conduct is always a decisive
factor for road safety.
Some simple rules for traveling safely
in different conditions are listed
below. Some of them will probably
already sound familiar but, in any case,
it would be useful to read them
carefully.
