The head restraints must be
adjusted so that they sup-
port your head and not your neck.
Only in this way may they perform
their protective action.
WARNING
To optimise head restraint
protective action, adjust the
seat back upright and keep your head
as close as possible to the head re-
straint.
WARNING
To refit the head restraint,
arrange it the right way and
then proceed as for checking that it
is locked.
WARNING
Saddle-shaped rear head re-
straints optimise visibility
and must always be raised it when an
occupant is present.

REAR VIEW MIRRORS
INTERNAL MIRROR
The mirror is fitted with a safety device
that causes its release in the event of a vi-
olent impact with the passenger.
It can be moved using the lever A-fig. 52
to two different positions: normal or
antiglare.
CHILD SUPERVISION MIRROR
(where fitted)
The mirror is located on the longitudinal
unit on the roof near the front ceiling light.
It allows the driver and passenger to su-
pervise the rear seats and keep children
sitting on the rear seats under control.
To use the mirror, move it from the fold-
away position B-fig. 53to position Cas
shown in the figure.

Manual intervention is only required for

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

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

Press this button: the cli-
mate control system will automatically
switch on all the functions required for fast

ing/defrosting, that is:
❒switches on the climate control com-
pressor when weather conditions are
suitable;
❒air recycle off;
❒maximum air temperature HIon

❒sets proper fan speed according to
engine coolant temperature to limit
the flow of not sufficiently warm air
to demist the windows into the pas-
senger compartment;
❒directs the air flow to the windscreen
and front side windows vents;
❒heated rear window on.
IMPORTANT The fast demist/defrost
function will remain on for approximate-
ly 3 minutes, from when the engine
coolant reaches a temperature of 50°C
(petrol versions) or 35°C (Multijet ver-
sions).
When this function is on, the LED of the
corresponding button switches on and
that of the rear window demister. Themessage FULL AUTOgoes off on the
display.
You can only adjust the fan speed and
switch the rear window demister off
manually when this function is active.

The following climate control conditions
will be established when the system is off:
❒LEDs off;
❒set temperature not shown;
❒air recirculation on, passenger com-
partment isolated from the outside;
❒air conditioner compressor off;
❒fan off.
The rear window heater can be turned
on and off manually by pressing Gwhen
the system is off.
IMPORTANT The climate control sys-
tem control unit stores the settings
before the system is turned off and rep-
resents the same settings when it turned
back on by pressing any button (except
for the heated rear window). If the but-
ton of a function was not pressed before
turning off the system if will be turned

It is located on the central console fig. 99
by the side of the handbrake.
Press the button with the ignition switch
at MAR. The button will automatically re-
turn to the initial position after approxi-
mately 15 seconds and the cigar lighter
is ready for use.
IMPORTANT Always check that the cig-
ar lighter has turned itself off.
Ashtray fig. 99
The ashtray is a removable plastic box that
can be fitted into the glass/can recesses on
the central tunnel.
IMPORTANT Do not use the box as an
ashtray and a waste paper basket at the
same time: it might set on fire in contact
with cigarette stubs.
SUN VISORS
These are located at the sides of the in-
terior rear view mirror. They may be po-
sitioned at the front and at the side.
A courtesy mirror can be applied to the
back of sun visors, according to the ver-
sion.
To use the mirror, open the sliding flap A-

STARTING
AND DRIVING
Average speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases
as speed increases. Keep your speed as
even as possible, avoiding unnecessary
braking and acceleration, which cause ex-
cessive fuel consumption and increased
emissions.
Acceleration
Sudden acceleration has a very negative
effect on fuel consumption and emissions:
accelerate gradually and do not go over
the maximum torque ratio.OPERATING METHOD
Cold starting
Short distances and frequent cold start-
ups will prevent the engine from reach-
ing optimal running temperature. Conse-
quently, both consumption (from +15 to
+30% on urban cycle ) and emissions will
increase.
Traffic and road conditions
Quite high consumption is caused by
heavy traffic, for instance when travelling
in a queue with frequent use of low gears
or in cities with many traffic lights. Moun-
tain and rough roads also have a negative
effect on fuel consumption.
Traffic hold-ups
During prolonged hold-ups (e.g. level
crossings) the engine should be switched
off.TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT NOTES
The car must be provided with a type-ap-
proved tow hitch and adequate electrical
system to tow caravans or trailers. Instal-
lation must be performed by specialised
personnel who will issue the required pa-
pers for travelling on roads.
Install any specific and/or additional
rearview mirrors as specified by the High-
way Code.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, the brak-
ing spaces increase and overtaking takes
longer depending on the overall weight.
Engage a low gear when driving downhill,
rather than constantly using the brake.
The weight of the trailer on the car’s tow
hitch will reduce the loading capacity of
the car by the same amount. Consider the
weight of the vehicle fully laden, including
accessories and luggage to make sure you
do not exceed the maximum towable
weight (shown on the log book).
