Footnotes
Certain pages of this manual contain information in the form of footnotes at the bottom of the page. This information supplements the text that the footnote number refers to (a letter is used if the footnote refers to text in a table).
Display texts
There are several displays in the driver’s field of vision that show messages generated by various systems and functions in the vehicle.
These texts are indicated in the Owner’s Manual by being in slightly larger type than the surrounding text and are printed in gray, (for example: Selezione rete).
