REFUELLING
Petrol engines:refuel with unleaded petrol with an octane rating (RON) of 95 or higher only.
Diesel engines:only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590.
The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently cause lapse of war-
ranty in relation to the damage caused.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch
without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.
Multijet engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch
without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the warning lights
Yand mto
go off; turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperature during operation. Do not park on grass, dry leaves, pine
needles or other flammable material: fire risk.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the components correlated with emis-
sions to ensure better respect for the environment.

Manual intervention is only required for
the following functions during fully auto-
matic operation.
❒MONOto uniform the temperature
and the air distribution on front pas-
senger or rear passenger zones to the
driver’s zone;
❒…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 the heated rear
window and the external rearview
mirrors.
During completely automatic system op-
eration, you can vary the set temperature,
the air distribution and the fan speed us-
ing the corresponding buttons or knobs
at any time: the system will automatically
change settings to adapt to the new re-
quest.
During fully automatic operation (FULL
AUTO), the word FULLwill dissapear
if the air distribution, air speed, compres-
sor and/or recirculation settings are
changed. In this way, the functions will
switch from automatic to manual control until AUTOis pressed again. The fan
speed is the same in all the zones of the
passenger compartment.
With on or more manually set functions,
the introduced air temperature is still
managed automatically by the system, ex-
cept for when the compressor is off: in the
case, the air introduced into the passen-
ger compartment cannot be cooler than
the outside air.
CONTROLS FOR
H-N air
temperature setting
knobs
Turn the knobs clock-
wise or anticlockwise to
turn the temperature up
or down in the front left
zone (knob N) and the
right zone (knob H) of
the passenger compart-
ment respectively.
The system manages two passenger com-
partment zones: the driver and passen-
ger can therefore select different tem-
peratures. The maximum difference be-
tween the two zones is 7°C.
The set temperature is shown on the dis-
play near the knobs.Press A(MONO) to automatically align
the temperature in the front passenger
zone to the driver’s side temperature. The
same temperature can be set in both
zones by turning knob N on driver’s side.
This function is used to adjust the tem-
perature in the passenger compartment
when the driver only is in the car.
To go back to separate air and tempera-
ture distribution in the two zones of the
passenger compartment, simply turn the
knobs H or press (A-MONO) when the
LED on the button is on.
Turn the knobs either all to the right or
all to the left to the extreme HIor LO
positions to use the maximum heating or
maximum cooling functions:
❒HIfunction (maximum heating):
select by turning the temperature knob
clockwise over the maximum value
(32 °C). It can be operated from either
by the driver or by the front passenger
(by selecting the MONOfunction).
This function may be used to cool down
the passenger compartment as fast as
possible and exploit the system potential
to the maximum. The function uses the

maximum coolant temperature while air
and fan speed distribution are managed
by the system according to conditions.
Specifically, if the heating fluid is not
warm enough, the fan will not start up at
the maximum speed immediately to limit
introducing excessively cool air into the
passenger compartment.
All manual settings will be allowed when
this function is on.
To switch the function off, simply turn
the temperature knob anticlockwise and
set the required temperature.
❒LOfunction (maximum cooling):
select by turning the temperature knob
anticlockwise beyond the minimum
value (16 °C). It can be operated from
either by the driver or by the front pas-
senger (by selecting the MONOfunc-
tion).
This function may be used to cool down
the passenger compartment as fast as
possible and exploit the system potential
to the maximum. The function activates
air recirculation and the climate control
compressor, air distribution and fan
speed are managed by the system
according to environmental conditions. All manual settings will be allowed when
this function is on.
To switch the function off, simply turn
the temperature knob clockwise and set
the required temperature.
Air distribution
buttons
(I-M)
Press these buttons to
manually set one of the
five possible air distribu-
tion patterns on the left
and on the right side of
the passenger compart-
ment:
▲air flow to the windscreen and front
side window vents to demist or de-
frost them;
˙air flow at central and side dash-
board vents to ventilate the chest
and the face during the hot season;
▼air flow to the front and rear foot
well vents. Thanks to the natural ten-
dency of hot air to spread upwards,
this distribution pattern allows to
warm the passenger compartment
up as quickly as possible, providing
an immediate feeling of warmth.
˙
▼Air flow between foot well vents
(hotter air) and central and side
dashboard vents (cooler air). This
distribution mode is particularly use-
ful in spring and autumn on a sunny
day.
▲
▼Air flow distributed between foot
well vents and windscreen and front
side window defrosting/demisting
vents. This allows an adequate
warming of the passenger compart-
ment and prevents the windows
from misting up.
The set distribution is shown by the cor-
responding LEDs on the selected buttons.
When the combined function is on, press
a button to activate the corresponding
functions along with the settings. If the
button corresponding to a previously ac-
tive button is pressed, the function is
turned off and the corresponding LED will
go out.
To restore automatic air distribution con-
trol after a manual adjustment, press but-
ton AUTO.
Air distribution is automatically aligned on
driver and passenger side when the driver
selects air distribution towards the wind-
screen. The passenger can select a differ-
ent distribution by pressing the corre-
sponding buttons afterwards.
