By manually adjusting at least one of the functions auto-
matically managed by the system (air recirculation, air dis-
tribution, fan speed or air conditioning compressor on/off),
the word FULL will disappear from the display, indicating
that the system is no longer automatically controlling all
the functions (the temperature will still be controlled au-
tomatically by the system).▲
˙Air flow distribution split between the windscreen
and front side windows defrosting/demisting diffusers
and the central and side dashboard vents. This dis-
tribution makes it possible to maintain good levels
of comfort and keep the passenger compartment suf-
ficiently cool (summer).

It is however not advised to use it on rainy/cold days as
it would considerably increase the possibility of the win-
dows steaming up, especially if the climate control com-
pressor is off.
The recirculation is forced off (i.e. air is introduced from
the outside) when the the outside temperature is cold to
prevent misting up.
It is advisable not to use the air recirculation function when
the outside temperature is low, because the windows
could rapidly steam up.
Climate control compressor on/off button (F)
Press button √to switch the climate control compres-
sor off (if it is already on). The icon on the display will
go out.
Press the button when the LED is off to automatically
restore system control and use of the compressor. The
icon will light up in the display in this case.
The system will switch the recirculation off when the cli-
mate control compressor is switched off to prevent the
windows misting up. Although the system is capable of
maintaining the required temperature, the word FULL will
disappear from the display. If the system is no longer able
to maintain the temperature, the figures will flash and the
word AUTO will go out. WARNING Should the system (after manual intervention)
no longer be able to guarantee the target temperature for
the passenger compartment, the set temperature value will
start flashing to indicate the difficulties the system is ex-
periencing and then the word AUTO will go out.
To restore system automatic control at any time, after one
or more manual adjustments, press the AUTO
button.
Air recirculation on/off button (G)
The air recirculation works according to the following op-
erating logic:
❒override on (air recirculation always on), indicated by
the LED on the button
Gcoming on and the symbol
íon the display;
❒override off (air recirculation always off and intro-
duction of outside air), indicated by the fact that the
LED in the button goes off and symbol êwill ap-
pear on the display.
These operating conditions are obtained by pressing air
recirculation button G in sequence.
WARNING The engagement of the air recirculation sys-
tem makes it possible to reach the required heating or
cooling conditions faster.

button B, air recirculation button G, compressor button
F or AUTO button A. IMPORTANT With the compressor off, it is not possible
to introduce air into the passenger compartment at a tem-
perature lower than that of the outside air. In certain
weather conditions, the windows could mist up rapidly due
to the non-dehumidified air.
The switching off of the compressor remains memorised
even when the engine has been stopped.
To restore automatic compressor engagement control,
press the √button again (in this case, the system will work
only as a heater) or press the AUTO button.
With the compressor switched off, if the outside tem-
perature is higher than the one set, the system is not ca-
pable of satisfying this request and signals it by the digits
for the temperature setting flashing after which the word
AUTO goes out.
With the climate control compressor off, the fan speed
can be set to zero manually (no bar shown).
With the compressor enabled and the engine started, the
fan speed may only be reduced to the minimum setting
(one bar shown).

Memorizing vehicle speed
Proceed as follows:
❒turn twist switch A-fig. 48 to ON and depress the ac-
celerator pedal until the vehicle reaches the required
speed;
❒move the stalk upwards (+) for at least one second,
then release it. The vehicle speed is now memorised
and you can therefore release the accelerator pedal.
If necessary (when overtaking for instance) acceleration is
possible by simply pressing the accelerator pedal: releas-
ing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle will return to the
speed memorised previously.
CRUISE CONTROL
(for versions/markets where provided)
This is an electronic driving aid that allows you to drive
at a speed of above 30 km/h on long and straight dry roads
with few driving changes (e.g. motorways) at a preset speed
without having to press the accelerator pedal. Therefore
it is not recommended to use this device on extra-urban
roads with traffic. Do not use it in town.
Switching the device on
Turn twist switch A-fig. 48 to ON.
The cruise control cannot be engaged in 1st or reverse
gear. It is advisable to engage it in 4th gear or higher.
When travelling downhill with the device engaged, the ve-
hicle speed may exceed the memorized one.
When the device is activated, warning light Ücomes on
together with the relevant message in the instrument pan-
el (for versions/markets where provided).

Reducing the memorized speed
This can be done in two ways:
❒by turning the device off and then memorizing a new
speed;
or
❒by moving the lever downwards (–) until reaching the
new speed, which will be memorized automatically.
Each movement of the lever will correspond to a slight re-
duction in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the lever
held downwards will correspond to a continuous speed
reduction.
Switching the device off
The device can be switched off by the driver in the fol-
lowing ways:
❒turning the twist switch A to the OFF position;
❒turning the engine off;
❒depressing the brake pedal;
❒pressing the clutch pedal;
❒pressing the accelerator pedal; in this case the system
is not really switched off but the request for accelera-
tion overrides the system. The cruise control is, how-
ever, active and it will not be necessary to press but-
ton B-fig.48 to restore the previous settings once the
acceleration is complete. Restoring the memorized speed
If the device has been switched off, for example by press-
ing the brake or clutch pedal, the memorized speed can
be restored as follows:
❒accelerate gradually until reaching a speed approaching
the memorised speed;
❒engage the gear selected at the time of speed memo-
rizing;
❒press button B-fig. 48.
Increasing the memorized speed
This can be done in two ways:
❒by pressing the accelerator and then memorizing the
new speed reached;
or
❒by moving the lever upwards (+).
Each operation of the lever will correspond to a slight in-
crease in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the lever
upwards will correspond to a continuous speed increase.
