INSTRUMENTS
SPEEDOMETER (fig. 103)
The speedometer shows the car
speed expressed in kilometres per
hour (km/h) and starts signalling
the speed when the car speed
exceeds approx. 4 km/h (see the
indications given in paragraph “At
the filling station").REV COUNTER (fig. 104)
If the needle is in the hazard sector
(the section with red lines) it shows
that the engine is over-revving. Do
not travel with the needle in this sec-
tor.
When the engine is idling, the rev
counter may show a gradual or sud-
den increase in engine speed,
according to the case. This is normal
and indicates the operation of the
climate control compressor or fans,
etc. In particular, a gradual varia-
tion in engine revolution speed safe-
guards battery charge.IMPORTANTThe hazard sectors
can present different widths and dif-
ferent full scale values according to
the various car versions.
IMPORTANTThe electronic injec-
tion control system will progressive-
ly cut off the flow of fuel when the
engine is over-revving and the
engine will consequently lose power.

INITIALISING THE AIR
CONDITIONING CONTROL UNIT
Whenever the battery is electrically
connected again or it is reloaded
after being completely flat or after
replacing one of the protection fuses,
to restore the correct operation of
the air conditioning, of the door
locking and of the ESP system. It is
necessary to perform the initialisa-
tion operations contained in the
paragraph “If battery is to be dis-
connected” in the chapter “In an
emergency”.

164
This function can be activated with
the CONNECT (from the main
SETUP screen) or with the remote
control.
The system works with this mode on
if the following conditions are present
– outside temperature lower than 20
°C
– coolant temperature lower than 50
°C
– ignition key at STOPor removed
– car battery charged
– fuel not in reserve.
When this mode is on, the heater is
deactivated when one of the following
conditions occur:
– end of planned working time
– OFF signal from the remote con-
trol
– manual shutdown by the user
through CONNECT– ignition key at MAR
– partial battery rundown
– fuel in reserve
– malfunction detected by the heater
control unit.
Timed heater activation/
deactivation through CONNECT
Timed heater activation and deacti-
vation can be set through the CON-
NECT. Select and confirm “Heater”
on the main SETUP screen to display
the parked-car heater settings.
Settings available are the following:
– Operate now
– Timer 1
– Timer 2.
To activate/deactivate the required
function, select and confirm it with
the CONNECT right knob.“Operate now”
The option “Operate now” enables
to warm the passenger compartment
with the engine stopped and warm
and the ignition key to MAR, using
the engine coolant, heater coolant cir-
culation pump, automatic air distrib-
ution control (if not set manually) and
closing air recirculation. The timer
cannot be programmed when this
function is on.
To guarantee the required comfort,
this function shall be mainly activated
when coolant is hot enough. When
coolant temperature is lower than 50
°C the control unit starts the heater,
and when temperature is over 70 °C,
the control unit turns the heater off
and lets only the coolant circulation
pump keep on working.

165
The “parked-car heater” mode is
automatically deactivated when one
of the following conditions takes
place:
– engine started
– limit time (around 30 minutes) of
heater and/or coolant pump func-
tioning overcome
– turn off requested by the user
through the CONNECT
– malfunction detected by the heater
control unit
– partial battery run-down or alter-
nator fault.
“Timer 1” and “Timer 2”
The “Timer” options shall be used
to programme two heater daily cycles;
for each cycle enter the time of acti-
vation and the length of operation
both with 5 minute intervals.
Each cycle cannot last more than 60
minutes. The default operation is 15
minutes. The timer works regardless
of the ignition key position.During heater operation, messages
referred to the following conditions
are shown on CONNECT display:
– fuel level in reserve (continue any-
way?)
– fuel level in reserve. Parked-car
heater has been switched off
– parked-car heater not operating
because of cooling down
– parked-car heater not operating
because external temperature is
higher than 20 °C
– parked-car heater not operating
because motor is on
– parked-car heater has been
switched off because of low voltage.IMPORTANTFor safety reasons,
the timer must be programmed/con-
firmed at any activation and con-
firmed not later than 24 hours since
programming. In addition, the user
must confirm every time the timer ac-
tivation. The timer does not automat-
ically correct standard time.
The timer can be in one of the fol-
lowing conditions:
– off: in this condition the timer is
programmable and parameters can be
loaded or adjusted. Loaded parame-
ters should be valued and approved
by CONNECT
– on: activated parameters approved
by CONNECT are stored in the mem-
ory. The user confirms the set cycle
waiting for the programmed activa-
tion moment which is indicated on the
CONNECT display
– active: the heater is working in
“programmable heater” mode con-
trolled by the timer present on the
CONNECT display. When the timer
is activated, the CONNECT records
the system conditions

167
This control is accepted by CON-
NECT only if:
– outside temperature lower than 20
°C
– coolant temperature lower than 50
°C
– the ignition key is at STOPor re-
moved
– car battery charged
– sufficient fuel level
– the timer is deactivated.
Switching the heater on
To switch the heater on, press the
remote control button ONfor 1 or 2
seconds, while keeping the antenna in
vertical position; the positive or un-
successful activation is indicated by
the remote control red led Bin the fol-
lowing way:
– the led turns on for about 2 sec-
onds = the signal has been correctly
received and the heater has been ac-
tivated– the led flashes for about 2 seconds
= the signal has not been received.
In the latter case you are advised to
move before trying to activate it by
pressing again the ONbutton.
After the confirmation activation,
the led Bwill flash every 2 seconds for
the whole operation cycle duration.
IMPORTANTIf led Bturns on with
green colour, press twice both remote
control buttons ONand OFFwithin 1
second to set the red colour.
Activation length
When pressing the remote control
button ONthe last recorded activa-
tion length is always activated.
To see the recorded length, press at
the same time for three consecutive
times within 1 second, the remote
control buttons ONand OFF, count
the number of flashes of led Bthen
compare them to those shown in the
table below, including also the first
flash appearing the third time you
press the buttons. Default activation length is 30 min-
utes but it can be changed through
the following procedure:
– press at the same time for three
consecutive times within 1 second, the
remote control buttons ONand OFF
– count the number of flashes of led
Bincluding also the first flash ap-
pearing the third time you press but-
tons ONand OFF
– press OFFto set the length suc-
cessive to the set one (press OFFfor
several times to set the required
length in sequence)
– wait for about 10 seconds for timer
storing.

168
- the led comes on for about 2 sec-
onds = the signal has been received
correctly and the heater has been de-
activated
- the led flashes for about 2 seconds
= the signal has not been received.
In the latter case you are advised to
move before trying to deactivate it by
pressing again the OFFbutton.Checking and replacing the
batteries
To check the battery charge, press
ONor OFF: if after about 5 seconds
led Bcomes on with orange colour it
means that the batteries are nearly
down and that they shall be replaced.
The batteries must be replaced with
new ones of the same type, available
at the usual sellers.
Replacing the batteries
Keep the ONand OFFbuttons
pressed for about 10 seconds, until led
Bturns off, to reset the 30 minutes
standard operation length.
Switching the heater off
To turn the heater off, press the re-
mote control button OFFfor 1 or 2
seconds, while keeping the antenna in
vertical position; the positive or un-
successful deactivation is indicate by
the remote control red led Bin the fol-
lowing way:Used batteries pollute the
environment. Dispose of
them in the special con-
tainers as specified by current leg-
islation. Keep batteries away from
open flames and high tempera-
tures. Keep away from children.
