USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Each time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are given, these must be intended as regarding 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
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 chapter.
WARNING If a “conventional battery” is mentioned in the text, this indicates the 12V lead service battery located in the engine compartment. “Auxiliary battery”
mentioned in the text means the 48V lithium-ion traction battery of the Mild Hybrid system, which is located in the central tunnel under the vehicle. The term
"supplementary battery" instead means a lead battery outside the car used for jump starting.
