ures relating to:
– Range
– Trip distance
– Average consumption
– Instant consumption
– Average speed
– Travel time (driving time).“Trip B”, available on multifunction display
only, shall be used to display the figures
relating to:
– Trip distance B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Travel time B (driving time).
Note“Trip B” function can be excluded
(see paragraph “Trip B On/Off”). “Range”
and “Instant consumption” cannot be re-
set.
Values displayed
Range
This value shows the distance in km (or
mi) that the car can still cover before

USING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
The system can be started in different
ways, but it is advisable to press one of the
AUTObuttons and then to turn the
knobs to set the temperatures required
on the display.
It is possible to personalise required tem-
peratures (driver and passenger) with a
maximum difference of 7 °C.
This way the system will start working
completely automatically to reach the
comfort temperatures as quickly as pos-
sible. The system will set air temperature,
quantity and distribution and it will con-
trol the air recirculation function and the
activation of conditioner compressor.

IMPORTANT Should the system (after
manual settings) be no longer able to guar-
antee the required temperature set in the
passenger compartment, the set tempera-
ture value will start flashing to indicate this
condition, after one minute the AUTO
message will turn off.
To restore system automatic control at
any time, after one or more manual ad-
justments, press button AUTO.
MONO button (to align set
temperatures and air
distribution) A
Pressing button MONOautomatically
aligns the temperature on the passenger
side with that on the driver side, it is
therefore possible to set the same tem-
perature and air distribution between the
two zones by turning the knob on driver
side. This function is provided to simplify
temperature adjustment of the whole pas-
senger compartment when only the dri-
ver is onboard. Separate operation of set
temperature and air distribution is re-
stored by turning knob H(to set tem-
perature on front passenger side) or by
pressing again button MONOwhen the
button led is on.Air recirculation on/off button C
Air recirculation works according to the
following operating logics:
❒automatic switching on, by pressing one
of the AUTObuttons and indicated by
the turning on of the AUTOicon on the
display near the car outline.
❒forced switching on (inside air recircu-
lation always on), indicated by the turn-
ing off of the button led Cand symbol
íon the display;
❒forced switching off (air recirculation
always off with air inlet from the out-
side), indicated by the turning off of the
button led and symbol
êon the dis-
play. Forced recirculation on/off can be
selected through button C.
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 considerably
increase the possibility of the windows
misting inside, especially if the climate con-
trol system is off.When outside temperature is cold, recir-
culation is forced to off (outside air inlet)
to prevent window misting up.
In automatic operation inside air recircu-
lation will be controlled automatically by
the system according to outside environ-
mental conditions.
When setting manual recirculation, word-
ings FULLand AUTOdisappear from
the display.
It is inadvisable to use air re-
circulation on rainy/cold
days as it would considerably increase
the possibility of windows misting up
inside.

Climate control compressor on/off
button B
Pressing button
√when the button led
is on, will deactivate compressor and turn
the button led off. Pressing the button
when the led is off will activate compres-
sor and turn the button led on. When
turning the compressor off, the system will
deactivate air recirculation to prevent win-
dow misting up.
In this event, although the system is able
to keep the required temperature, the
wording FULLwill disappear from the
display. If the system is no longer able to
keep the required temperature, temper-
ature value will flash and the wording
AUTOwill disappear from the display.
IMPORTANT With the climate control
compressor off, it is not possible to admit
air to the passenger compartment with a
temperature below the outside tempera-
ture; moreover, under certain environ-
mental conditions, windows could mist up
fastly since air is not dehumidified.
The switching off of the climate control
compressor remains in storage even when
the engine has been stopped.
To restore automatic control for switch-
ing on the climate control compressor,
press again button
√or press button AU-
TO.
With climate control compressor off if
outside temperature is higher than the set
one the system will not be able to keep
the required condition, the temperaturevalue will then start to flash on the display
for a few seconds and wording AUTO
will then go off.
With climate control compressor off, the
fan speed can be set to zero manually.
With compressor on and engine running,
the fan speed cannot be lower that one
bar on the display.
Fast window demisting/defrosting
button F
Press this button: the climate control sys-
tem will automatically switch on all the
functions required for fast windscreen and
front side window demisting/defrosting,
that is:
❒ switches on climate control compres-
sor when climatic conditions are suit-
able;
❒air recirculation off;
❒maximum air temperature HIon both
areas;
❒activates proper fan speed according to
engine coolant temperature to limit the
flow into the passenger compartment of
air not warm enough to demist the win-
dows;
❒ directs air flow to windscreen and front
side windows vents;
❒turns heated rear window on.IMPORTANT Fast demisting/defrosting
function stays on for about 3 minutes,
since engine coolant temperature reach-
es the proper temperature.
When the max. demisting/defrosting func-
tion is on, the button led and the heated
rear window button led are on.
FULL AUTOwording on the display is
off.
When the max. demisting/defrosting func-
tion is on, the only manual operations pos-
sible are manual adjustment of the fan
speed and switching heated rear window
off. Pressing the max. demisting/defrost-
ing button or the air recirculation buttons
or compressor off button or the AUTO
button, the system switches off the max.
demisting/defrosting function and restores
the operating conditions of the system pri-
or to turning it on.
