air flow towards the front seat feet area. Due to the
natural tendency of heat to spread upwards, this type
of distribution warms the passenger compartment
up as quickly as possible, providing an immediate
feeling of warmth.
w+μ
distribution between feet area vents (warmest air)
and dashboard vents (coolest air).
¥+μ
distribution between feet area vents and wind-
screen/side front window vents. This type of distri-
bution achieves an adequate warming of the pas-
senger compartment and prevents the windows
from misting up.
The set air distribution is shown by the LEDs on the
selected buttons.
To restore the automatic air distribution control, press
the AUTO button.
During automatic operation, under particular climate con-
ditions, the system can send air to the windscreen although
the relevant LED does not turn on.

required for fast demisting/defrosting, that is:
❒
compressor switching-on (if the weather conditions are
suitable);
❒
air recirculation switching-off;
❒
maximum air temperature setting (HI); IMPORTANT If the heating fluid is not sufficiently hot, max-
imum fan speed will not be activated immediately to pre-
vent air not warm enough from entering the passenger
compartment.
LO function
This function can be switched on to cool the passenger
compartment as quickly as possible; with this function
switched on the compressor will be engaged whereas air
distribution and fan speed are controlled by the system.
To turn this function off, set the required temperature.
IMPORTANT With the function switched on, however, all
the manual settings can be made.

CONTAINING RUNNING COSTSSome useful tips are given below for fuel saving and re-
ducing harmful emissions of CO
2and other pollutants
(nitrogen oxides, unburnt hydrocarbons, Particulate
Matter (PM) etc.).
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance
with the “Scheduled servicing plan.”
Tyres
Check the pressure of the tyres routinely at an interval
of no more than 4 weeks: if the pressure is too low, con-
sumption levels increase as resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight of
the car (especially when driving in town) and its trim great-
ly affects consumption and stability.
Accessories installed on longitudinal bars
Remove accessories like: roof racks, ski racks, luggage con-
tainer, etc. from the roof as soon as they are no longer
used. These accessories lower air penetration and ad-
versely affect consumption levels. When needing to
carry particularly voluminous objects, preferably use
a trailer.
To change gears properly you must push
the clutch pedal fully down. For this rea-
son, there must be no obstacles on the floor un-
der the pedals: ensure that rubber mats (if any)
are lying flat and do not interfere with the pedals.
WARNING
Do not drive with your hand resting on the
shifting lever, because this pressure, even
if light, over time can wear out the gearbox
internal components.
