ENGINE OIL LEVEL GAUGE
(where provided)
The gauge graphically displays the en-
gine oil level between the MINand
MAXreference points.
To perform measurement ensure
the vehicle is on a flat ground, then
proceed as follows:
1)when the engine is not running,
turn the ignition key to MAR;
2)the word “OIL” will be displayed
for 5 seconds together with six dashes
and five or six boxes showing the cor-
rect engine oil level;
Fig. 38- Correct oil level.
Fig. 39- Minimum oil level.
Should oil level be at minimum, re-
store oil level to the correct level as
soon as possible. Anyhow, before top-
ping up, first use the special dipstick
to check the level.
3)If the words “OIL HIGH”fig. 40
are displayed, this means that oil level
is excessive (over maximum level) and
it is therefore necessary to reduce its
level in the sump. DIGITAL CLOCK fig. 37
Clock can always be adjusted (also
with engine off and key removed).
Setting time
The clock will advance by one unit
each time the button G-fig. 37is
pressed. Press the button and hold it
down for a few seconds to rapidly ad-
vance the time automatically.
When the clock draws near to the
correct time, release the button and
complete the regulation manually.

Turn knob fig. 83 under the roof to
turn the supplementary climate control
system on. It will only work when the
main system is running.
Air flow is distributed to the back
through the directional vents set under
the roof by lever A-fig. 84.
Like for Panorama and Combi, also the
Van versions can be equipped with an
optional climate control system to be set
in the load compartment and to be
switched on using the relevant console
controls.AIR CONDITIONING

1)air temperature knob: pointer at
the blue sector
2)climate control system: press but-
ton √
3)air recirculation slider: at Ò
4) air distribution knob: pointer at O
5)fan knob: pointer at the required
speed.To reduce the cooling effect: posi-
tion the slider at Ú, to increase the
temperature and decrease the fan
speed.
Do not switch the climate control
system on for heating and ventilation.
