Seat height adjustment
(where provided) fig. 27
Move lever Bupwards or downwards to
achieve the required height.
IMPORTANT Adjustment must be car-
ried out only seated in the relevant seat.
Back rest angle adjustment fig. 27
Turn knob C.
FRONT SEATS
fig. 27F0M0055m
Only make adjustments
when the car is stationary.
WARNING
Moving the seat backwards or
forwards fig. 27
Lift the lever Aand push the seat forwards
or backwards: in the driving position the
arms should rest on the rim of the steer-
ing wheel.
Once you have released the
lever, check that the seat is
firmly locked in the runners by trying
to move it back and forth. Failure to
lock the seat in place could result in
the seat moving suddenly and the dri-
ver losing control of the car.
WARNING
For maximum safety, keep
the back of your seat up-
right, lean back into it and make sure
the seat belt fits closely across your
chest and hips.
WARNING
Upholstery of your car has
been designed to withstand
wear deriving from common
use of the car. You are how-
ever recommended to avoid strong
and/or continuous scratching with
clothing accessories such as metallic
buckles, studs, Velcro fastenings and
the like, since these items cause cir-
cumscribed stress of the cover fabric
that could lead to yarn breaking, and
damage the cover as a consequence.fig. 28F0M0057m
Tilting the back rest
(3-door versions) fig. 28
Pull handle Aupwards, the back rest will
tilt and the seat can slide forward by push-
ing the back rest.
Bringing back the back rest the seat will
return to its original position (mechani-
cal memory).
Check that the seat is firm-
ly locked in the runners by
trying to move it back and forth.

HEAD RESTRAINTS
FRONT fig. 31
On certain versions head restraints are ad-
justable in height and they lock automati-
cally in the required position.
To adjust head restraints proceed as fol-
lows:
❒ to raise: raise the head restraint until
hearing the locking click.
❒to lower: press button Aand lower the
head restraint.
To lift out front head restraints: press at
the same time buttons Aand Bset on
both sides and take them out.REAR (where provided) fig. 32
To use the head restraint, raise it until hear-
ing the click (position of use).
To bring it back to the original position
(position of non use), press button Aand
push the head restraint down into the
back rest.
To lift out rear head restraints: press at
the same time buttons Aand Bset on
both sides and take them out.
IMPORTANT Rear seat passengers shall
always set the head restraints in the po-
sition of use.
fig. 31F0M0025mfig. 32F0M0026m
To optimise head restraint protective ac-
tion, adjust the seat back upright and keep
your head as close as possible to the head
restraint.
Remember that the head re-
straints should be adjusted
to support the back of your head and
not your neck. Only in this position
do they exert their protective action.

AUTOMATIC
TWO-ZONE
CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM
(where provided)
DESCRIPTION
The car is fitted with a two-zone climate
control system which makes it possible to
separately adjust the air temperatures and
air distribution on the driver’s side and on
the passenger’s side. Temperature control
is based on the “equivalent temperature”
logic, i.e.: the system continuously works
to keep constant the comfort inside the
passenger compartment and to compen-
sate any variation of the outside climate
conditions, including sunshine detected by
a proper sensor provided for the purpose.
The climate control system automatically
controls and adjusts the following para-
meters and functions:
❒ air temperature at driver/front passen-
ger vents;
❒ air distribution at driver/front passen-
ger vents;
❒ fan speed (continuous air flow varia-
tion);
❒compressor activation (to cool/dehu-
midify air);
❒air recirculation.
All the above functions can be changed
manually by selecting the required func-
tion/s and by changing the set parameters.
In this way the automatic control is de-
activated; the system will resume auto-
matic control only for safety reasons. Man-
ual selections prevail over automatic ones
and remain in storage until the user de-
cides to resume automatic control (press
button AUTO), except when the system
cuts in for particular safety conditions. The
control of functions not changed manual-
ly remains automatic. The amount of air
admitted to the passenger compartment
does not depend on the car speed, since
it is electronically controlled by the fan.
The temperature of the air admitted to
the passenger compartment is always con-
trolled automatically according to the tem-
peratures set on the driver’s and front
passenger’s display (except when the sys-
tem is off or under certain conditions
when the compressor is off).The following parameters and functions
can be set or changed manually: ❒ air temperatures on driver/front pas-
senger side;
❒fan speed (continuous variation);
❒air distribution on seven levels (dri-
ver/front passenger side);
❒ climate control compressor on/off en-
able;
❒monozone/two-zone distribution prior-
ity;
❒ fast demisting/defrosting;
❒ air recirculation;
❒ rear heated window;
❒system deactivation.

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.

During fully automatic operation, the on-
ly manual settings required are the fol-
lowing:
❒MONO, to align the air temperature
and distribution set on the passenger’s
side with that on the driver’s side;
❒•air recirculation, to keep it always
on or off;
❒-to speed up demisting/defrosting of
windscreen, side windows, rear window
and door mirrors;
❒
(to demist/defrost heated rear win-
dow and door mirrors.
During full automatic system operation,
you can change at any time set tempera-
tures, air distribution and fan speed by us-
ing the relevant buttons or knobs: the sys-
tem will automatically change its settings
to adjust to the new requirements.During (FULL AUTO) operation, chang-
ing air distribution and/or flow and/or
compressor activation and/or air recircu-
lation will make the FULLwording dis-
appear. In this way the system will keep
on controlling automatically all functions,
excluding those changed manually. Fan
speed is the same for every area of the
passenger compartment.
Air temperature adjusting
knobs H - N
Turning the knobs clockwise or counter-
clockwise, respectively highers or lowers
the temperature of the air required re-
spectively in the front left zone (knob N) or
in the right zone (knob H) of the passenger
compartment. Since the system controls
two zones of the passenger compartment,
it is possible to personalise required tem-
peratures (driver and passenger) with a
maximum difference of 7 °C. The temper-
atures set are shown on the displays near
the relevant knobs. Pressing button A
(MONO) automatically aligns the temper-
ature on the passenger’s side with that on
the driver’s side; you can therefore set the
same temperature for both zones by turn-
ing knob Non driver side. Separate oper-
ation of air temperatures and distribution is
restored by turning knobs Hor pressing
again button A(MONO) when the button
led is on.Turn the knobs fully clockwise or counter-
clockwise to engage respectively HI(max-
imum heating) or LO(maximum cooling).
To deactivate these two functions, just
turn the temperature knob and set the re-
quired temperature.
Front air distribution buttons I-M
Pressing these buttons it is possible to
choose manually one of the seven possi-
ble air distributions to the passenger com-
partment (right or left side):NAir flow to the windscreen and front
side window vents to demist or de-
frost them.
˙Air flow at central and side dashboard
vents to ventilate the chest and the
face during the hot season.
OAir flow towards the front and rear
lower parts of the passenger com-
partment. Due to the natural tenden-
cy of heat to spread upwards, this type
of distribution allows heating of the
passenger compartment in the short-
est time, also giving a prompt feeling
of warmth.
