Depending on the position of air distribution control
C, the air will
flow from one vent or another.
The air temperature will depend on the position of rotary knob
A.
Furthermore, vents
3and 4can be closed or opened individually
and the air flow can be oriented as necessary.
Closed vent: control in vertical position.
Open vent: control in horizontal position.
The air flow can be oriented as you wish by swiveling the vent with

General notes
•To ensure proper functioning of the heating and ventilation
system, any object must be removed from the air inlet on the grid
below the windscreen.
•Only controls
Aand Ccan be adjusted to any intermediate
position.
•When driving at low speed select a slow ventilation speed and
place control
Cat to avoid fogging up of the windshields.
•Since heating efficiency depends on the coolant fluid
temperature, full heating power occurs when the engine has
reached its operating temperature.

To activate this function press the button. When function is
activated the orange warning lamp will light up.
With this function air inlets from the outside are closed. If a fan
speed has been selected, the air is drawn in from the cabin instead
of from the outside allowing for air recirculation. This way the entry
of bad odors, smoke and dust can be avoided. You can also heat or
cool the cabin air faster by having the air recirculate.

•Disconnect air recirculation mode and A AC

Using air conditioner economically
In cooling mode the air conditioner compressor places demands
on the engine and therefore influences the fuel consumption. To
keep the period it is switched on as short as possible, the
following points should be noted.
•If the inside temperature is very high after the car has been
parked in the sun, it is recommended that doors and windows are
opened briefly to enable the hot air to escape.
•The hot air conditioner should not be switched on during a
journey if the windows or sliding/tilting roof* are open.
•The fresh air option should be selected if the desired inside
temperature can be achieved without having to turn on the cooling
system.
K
General notes
•High humidity and outside temperatures may cause
condensation and the evaporator to drip. This water is channeled
outside which can lead to the formation of puddles beneath your
vehicle. This is normal and does not indicate any leak.•For the ventilation to function correctly ice, snow or leaves in
front of the air inlets, on the grid below the windshields (passenger
side, outside) must be removed.
•Only switches
Aand Ccan by adjusted to any intermediate
position.
•When driving at low speed it is advisable to set a low fan speed
and to set switch
Cto position to avoid fogging of the
windshields.
•Since the efficiency of the heating system depends on the
temperature of the coolant, maximum efficiency is achieved when
the temperature reaches service temperature.
•Stale air is channeled outside through the boot area. For this
reason, do not obstruct the air passage from the passenger cabin
to the rear part by placing clothing on the rear shelf.

By pressing the key, the system directs the air towards the
grid of the windshield and the side windows (

When pressing this key, the system understands that the
windshield is fogged up/frozen and, therefore, it becomes a
priority to execute said operation. It will deactivate the air

By pressing this key the air conditioning compressor is

The word "ECON" is displayed.
When the compressor is deactivated, the fuel consumption
decreases.
When this function is activated, the Climatronic manages the
interior temperature regulation without the air conditioner.
If the selected temperature is lower than the outside temperature,
the selected temperature will not be reached.
Depending on the exterior climate conditions (low outside
temperature and low humidity), it is not necessary to switch on the
air conditioner since you can activate the ECON mode.
In vehicles fitted with additional heating*, this function is
deactivated.R Re

By pressing this key, the air recirculation mode is activated.
With this function the entry of air from outside is closed. If a fan
speed has been selected, the air is drawn from the interior instead
of from outside, thus allowing for the air to recirculate. This way,
the entry of bad odors, smoke and dust can be momentarily
avoided.
It is not advisable to use recirculation for an extended period of
time since the air in the cabin is not replaced and would, therefore,
become very stale and dry.
The recirculation symbol is displayed if this mode is activated.

Suggestion 9. Save electricity
The alternator generates electricity while driving. The more
electricity is used, the higher the fuel consumption.
The heated rear window, extra lights, the heater fan and air
conditioning* use a large amount of energy. The heated rear
window creates a consumption of approx. one liter for every 10
hours.
For this reason, disconnect electrical consumers as soon as they
are no longer needed. The alternator generates electricity when the
engine is running.
K
Suggestion 10. Written check-up
If you wish to reduce fuel consumption keep a trip book. It is not
much work and is worth while since it allows you to detect possible
consumption variations (positive or negative) on time and
intervene, if necessary. If you detect an increase in consumption
you should examine the driving conditions since the last filling.

What do you need to bear in mind when towing a trailer?
The vehicle is designed mainly to carry people and luggage.
However it may also be used to tow a trailer, as long as you fit it
with the technically appropriate equipment and you do not
exceed the maximum authorised weights
⇒“Technical Data”
chapter.Towing a trailer not only demands more from the car, but from the
driver too.
You should therefore strictly adhere to the service and running-in
instructions on the following pages.

•If the trailer to be towed has a 7-pin plug, an adapter cable can
be used which may be obtained in any Technical Service Centre.
Installation of a towing bracket at a later stage should be carried
out according to the instructions of the towing bracket
manufacturer.
