TRIP COMPUTER
General features
The “Trip computer” is used to display in-
formation on car operation when the key
is turned to MAR. This function allows to
define two separate trips called “Trip A”
and “Trip B” for monitoring the car’s
“complete mission” in a reciprocally in-
dependent manner.
Both functions are resettable (reset - start
of new mission).
“Trip A” may be used to display the fig-
ures relating to:
– Range
– Distance travelled
– Average consumption
– Instant consumption
– Average speed
– Travel time (driving time).“Trip B”, available on multifunctional dis-
play only, shall be used to display the fig-
ures relating to:
– Trip distance B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Travel time B (driving time).
Note“Trip B” functions may be exclud-
ed (see “Trip B on”). “Range” and “In-
stantaneous consumption” cannot be re-
set.Values displayed
Range
This indicates the distance which may be
travelled with the fuel in the tank

change. The message “——” will appear
on the display in the following cases:
– range shorter than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– car left parked with engine running for
long.
Distance travelled
This indicates the distance covered from
the start of the new mission.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
(where provided)
GENERAL
The automatic climate control system ad-
justs the temperature, the quantity and the
distribution of the air in the passenger
compartment. Temperature is controlled
on the basis of an “equivalent tempera-
ture” principle; in other words, the sys-
tem continuously works to keep the com-
fort level inside the car constant and to
compensate for possible variations of ex-
ternal conditions, including sun radiation
detected by a specific sensor.The automatically controlled parameters
and functions are:
❒air temperature at the vents;
❒air distribution at the vents;
❒fan speed (continuous air flow varia-
tion);
❒compressor fan on (for cooling/dehu-
midifying the air);
❒air recirculation.All functions may be manually changed. In
order words, you may select one or more
functions and change the parameters as
required. Automatic control of the man-
ually changed functions will be suspended:
the system will change override your set-
tings only for safety related reasons (e.g.
risk of misting up).
Manual selections will always have higher
priority over automatic settings and will
be stored until the user switches the sys-
tem back to automatic control by press-
ing AUTOexpect for the cases in which
the system will intervene for particular,
safety-related reasons.
You can adjust one function automatical-
ly and have the automatic system control
all the others.
The air temperature is always automati-
cally controlled according to the temper-
ature shown on the display (except for
when the system is off or in certain con-
ditions when the compressor is not run-
ning).
