TRIP COMPUTER
The “Trip computer” displays information relating to the operating status of the car. This function comprises the
“General trip”, concerning the complete mission of the car and “Trip B”, concerning the partial car mission. The car is
delivered with “Trip B” set to “ON”. This function (as shown in the graph below) is contained within the complete
mission. Both functions are resettable. The “General trip” displays the figures relating to Cruising Range, Travelled
Distance, Average fuel consumption, Current fuel consumption, Average speed, Travel time (driving time). “Trip B”
displays information concerning Travel Distance B, Average fuel consumption B, Average speed B, Travel time B
(driving time). The “Trip B” function can be excluded.
Start of journey procedure (reset)
To start a new journey monitored by the “General Trip”, with the key to MAR, press button
{on right steering
column stalk with mode
&(see paragraph “Display control buttons”).
The reset operation in the presence of the screens concerning the “General trip” makes it possible to reset also the
“Trip B”. The reset operation in the presence of the screens concerning only the “Trip B” makes it possible to reset
only the information associated with this function.
IMPORTANT The “Cruising range” information cannot be reset.

Cruising range= Shows the distance in km (or mi)
that the car can still cover before needing fuel,
assuming that driving conditions are kept unvaried.
The display will show “- - - -” in the following cases:
❒value for range to empty lower than 50 km or fuel
level below 4 litres; in this event before “- - - -”
the message “Warning, limited range” will be
displayed (this message will be displayed also if not
in TRIP COMPUTER mode);
❒in case of car parked with engine running for a
long period, when the car moves off the range to
empty indication will be displayed again.
Travelled distance= shows the km (or miles)
covered from last reset (*).
Average fuel consumption= shows the average
consumption calculated from last reset (*), this value
can be expressed in l/100 km, km/l or mpg.
Instant consumption= shows the fuel consumption
variation updated every second, it can be expressed in
l/100 km or mpg. In case of car parked with engine
running the display will show “- - - -”. When the car
moves off the instant consumption indication will be
displayed again.
Average speed= shows the average speed of the
car in relation with total time elapsed from last reset
(*) and it can be expressed in km/h or in mph.Travel time= time elapsed from last reset (*).
(*) Reset can be:
– “manual”, reset is performed by the driver by
pressing the relevant button (see paragraph
“Control buttons”)
– “automatic”, reset is performed when the travelled
distance reaches 9999.9 km or when Travel time
reaches 99:59 (99 hours and 59 minutes)
– after reconnecting the battery.
IMPORTANT Lacking information, Trip computer
values are displayed with “- - - -”. When normal
operating condition is reset, calculation of different
units will restart regularly. Values displayed before the
failure will not be reset (*).
IMPORTANT After battery disconnection/connection
certain displayed values are equal to “- - - -” until
significant data for calculation are available.

SWITCHING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM ON
The system can be started in different ways, but it is
advisable to press one of the AUTO buttons and then
to turn the knobs to set the temperatures required on
the display.
It is possible to personalise required temperatures
(driver and passenger) with a maximum difference of 7
°C.
This way the system will start working completely
automatically to reach the temperatures set as quickly
as possible. The system will adjust the air temperature,
flow and distribution and will control the air
recirculation function and the conditioner compressor
on/off.
During fully automatic operation, the only manual
settings required are the following:
❒MONO, to align the air temperature and
distribution set on the passenger’s side (front or
rear) with that on the driver’s side;
❒…, air recirculation, to keep it always on or off;
❒-, to speed up demisting/defrosting of
windscreen, front side windows, rear window and
door mirrors;
❒(, to demist/defrost the rear heated window and
the door mirrors.During completely automatic system operation, the
temperatures, air distribution and the fan speed set
can be changed at any time through the relevant
buttons or knobs: the system will automatically change
its settings to adjust to the new requirements.
During full automatic operation (FULL AUTO), any
change in air distribution and/or air flow and/or
compressor turning on and/or air recirculation will
obtain FULL disappearing. In this way functions will be
controlled manually until pressing the AUTO button
again. The fan speed is the same for all passenger
compartment areas.
With one or more functions engaged manually, the
adjustment of the temperature of the air admitted to
the passenger compartment continues to be
controlled automatically by the system, except with
the climate control compressor off. In fact, in this
condition, the air admitted to the passenger
compartment cannot have a lower temperature than
the outside air.

To switch the function off, simply turn the
temperature knob counterclockwise and set the
required temperature.
❒LO function (highest cooling power):
this is activated by turning the temperature knob
counterclockwise below the min. value (16 °C). It can
be activated independently from the driver’s or
passenger’s side or both (also selecting the MONO
function).
This function can be engaged when requiring to cool
the passenger compartment as quickly as possible,
exploiting the maximum potential of the system. This
function engages inside air recirculation and climate
control compressor, while air distribution and fan
speed are controlled according to environmental
conditions. All manual settings are however possible
with this function on.
To switch the function off, simply turn the
temperature knob clockwise and set the required
temperature.Front air distribution
selection buttons
(I-M)
Pressing the relevant
buttons it is possible to
manually choose one of the five possible air
distributions to the left and right side of the passenger
compartment:
▲Air flow to the windscreen and front side window
vents to demist or defrost them.
˙Air flow to dashboard central and side vents to pro-
vide satisfactory ventilation to the chest and face,
specially during the summer.
▼Air flow towards the front and rear lower parts of
the passenger compartment. Due to the natural ten-
dency of heat to spread upwards, this type of distri-
bution allows heating of the passenger compartment
in the shortest time, also giving a prompt feeling of
warmth to the coldest parts of the body.
˙
▼Splitting of the air flow between the vents to the
lower part of the passenger compartment (warmest
air) and the dashboard centre and side outlets
(coolest air). This air flow distribution is particu-
larly useful in spring and autumn, when the sun is
shining.
▲
▼Splitting of the air flow between the lower part of
the passenger compartment and the windscreen and
front side window demisting/defrosting vents. This
type of air distribution allows satisfactory heating of
the passenger compartment while preventing pos-
sible misting of the windows.

With a combined function set, pressing a button will
turn on the main function of the button pressed,
together with the functions set yet. Pressing the
button of the active function will turn the function off
(led off).
To restore automatic air distribution control after a
manual selection, press button AUTO.
When the driver selects air distribution towards the
windscreen, also the air distribution on passenger’s
side will automatically be directed to the windscreen.
The passenger can however select a different air
distribution by pressing the relevant buttons.Fan speed adjustment buttons (L)
Pressing the ends of button p
increases or decreases the fan speed
and therefore the amount of air
admitted to the passenger
compartment, although keeping the required
temperature.
The fan speed is shown by the lit bars on the display
❒max fan speed = all bars lit
❒min fan speed = one bar lit.
The fan can be cut off only if the climate control
compressor has been switched off pressing button B.
IMPORTANT To restore automatic fan speed control
after a manual adjustment, press button AUTO.
