SWITCHING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM ON
The system can be started by pressing any
button, but it is advisable to set the tem-
peratures required on the display;
then press button AUTO.
It is possible to personalise required tem-
peratures (driver and passenger) with a
maximum difference of 7°C.
The climate control system compressor
works only with the engine running and
outside temperature over 4°C.It is possible to personalise the choices
made automatically by the system inter-
vening manually on the following controls:
❒fan speed adjustment knob;
❒air distribution selection button;
❒inside air recirculation and AQS func-
tion on/off button;
❒climate control compressor button.
It is inadvisable to use air re-
circulation on rainy/cold
days as it would considerably increase
the possibility of windows misting up
inside.
WARNING
HOW TO USE THE
AUTOMATIC FUNCTION
(AUTO)
Press button AUTO; the system will au-
tomatically adjust:
❒air inlet in the passenger’s compart-
ment;
❒air distribution in the passenger’s com-
partment;
thus cancelling all the previous manual ad-
justments.
When the climate control system is work-
ing automatically, FULL AUTO is dis-
played.

AQS (Air Quality System)
function activation
The AQS function, (message AQS on the
display), turns on air recirculation auto-
matically when it detects the presence of
outside polluted air (for example when
driving in queues and tunnels).
IMPORTANT When the AQS function is
active, after 15 minutes of consecutive in-
ternal air recirculation, the climate con-
trol system enables outside air inlet (re-
gardless of air pollution level) for approx.
1 minute to change air inside the passen-
ger compartment. INSIDE AIR RECIRCULATION
ON/OFF AND AQS FUNCTION
(Air Quality System) BUTTON
Press button
T.
Inside air recirculation is controlled by
three operating logics:
❒automatic control, indicated by message
AQS on the display and button led
Toff;
❒forced switching off (inside air recircu-
lation always off with air inlet from out-
side), button led
Toff;
❒forced switching on (inside air recircu-
lation always on with air inlet from out-
side), button led
Ton.Pressing button OFF, the climate control
system turns on automatically the inside
air recirculation function (button led
Ton). In these conditions it is how-
ever possible to take air from the outside
(and vice versa) pressing button
T(button led off).
With button OFF pressed (button led on),
the AQS (Air Quality System) function
cannot be activated.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the re-
quired “heating” or “cooling” conditions
faster. It is however inadvisable to use it
on rainy/cold days as it would consider-
ably increase the possibility of the win-
dows misting inside, especially if the cli-
mate control system is off. It is advisable
to turn on the inside air recirculation sys-
tem in queues or tunnels to avoid admit-
ting polluted air from outside. The pro-
longed use of this function should how-
ever be avoided, especially with several
persons on board, to avoid the possibili-
ty of the windows misting inside.

In the above climate conditions, the de-
vice comes on automatically when the en-
gine is started with at least one bar of the
fan speed indicator lit up.
The radiator is turned off automatically
when conditions of comfort are achieved.
IMPORTANT heater activation is pre-
vented if the battery voltage is too low.SWITCHING THE CLIMATE

DEVICE ENGAGEMENT
Turn knurled ring A-fig. 54to ON.
The device may only be engaged in the 4
th
or 5thgear. Travelling downhill with the
device engaged, the car speed may in-
crease more than the memorised one.
When the device is activated, the warning
light
Üon the instrument panel turns on
(together with the message on the display)
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).TO MEMORISE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❒turn the knurled ring A-fig. 54to ON
and press the accelerator pedal to the
required speed;
❒turn the knurled ring Bto (+) for at
least three seconds, then release it. The
car speed is memorised and it is there-
fore possible to release the accelerator
pedal.
In the case of need (when overtaking for
instance) acceleration is possible simply
pressing the accelerator pedal: releasing
the accelerator pedal, the car will return
to the speed memorised previously.

CRUISE CONTROL
(constant speed
regulator)
(where provided)
It is a device able to support the driver,
with electronic control, which allows dri-
ving at speed over 30 km/h on long and
straight dry roads (e.g.: motorways), at a
desired speed, without pressing the ac-
celerator pedal.
Therefore it is not suggested to use this
device on extra-urban roads with traffic.
Do not use it in town.
