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.

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.

metal insert of the key in both front
door revolving plugs as described pre-
viously: in this case the dead lock de-
vice will stay engaged only on the rear

❒door internal handles;
❒locking/unlocking button A-fig. 85;
thus hindering doors opening from inside
the passenger’s compartment in case of at-
tempt to break-into (e.g.: window breaking).

from the open door remains blocked inside
the passenger’s compartment when she/he
closes the door.
Device deactivation
The device is deactivated automatically on
every door in the following cases:
❒when opening the driver’s door using the
key without remote control;
❒when unlocking doors using the remote
