Climate control compressor
enabling button (F)
Press to switch the clim ate control
compressor off (if on). The icon on the
display will go out.
Press the button when the LED is off to
res tore aut oma tically system
control
and use of the com pressor.
The icon
will light up on the display in this case.
The system will switch recirculation off
when the compressor is switched off to
prevent misting up.
Although the system
is capable of maintaining the required tem-
perature, the word FULLwill disappear
from the display.
If on the other hand the
system cannot maintain the required tem-
perature, the digits will blink and the word
AUTOwill disappear.IMPORTANT With the compressor off,
it is not possible to introduce air cooler
than ambient temperature into the pas-
senger compartm ent. Furthermore,
in
certain condition s, the windows could
mist up rapidly because the air is not de-
humidified. The switching off of the climate
control compressor remains in storage
even when the engine has been stopped.
To restore automatic compressor control,
press again (in this case, the system will
only work as a heater) or press AUTO.
With climate control compressor off,
the
fan speed can be set to zero manually (no
bar shown).
With the compressor enabled and the en-
gine started, the fan speed may be reduced
to the minimum setting (only one bar
shown).Fast window demisting/defrosting
button (D)
Press this button: the climate control
sys-
tem will automatically switch on all the
functions required for fast windscreen de-misting/defrosting, that is:
switches on climate control compres-
sor when climatic conditions are suit-
able;
air recirculation off;
maximum air temperature HI on both
areas;
operates proper fan speed according
to engine coolant temperature to lim-
it the flow into the passenger
com-
partment of air not warm enough to
demist the windows;
directs air flow to windscreen
and
front side windows vents;
heated rear window on.

Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount
of time needed. Rear heated window, ad-
ditional headlights, windscreen wipers and
heater fan need a considerable amount of
energy, therefore increasing the require-
ment of current increases fuel consump-
tion (up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The climate control system requires high-
er fue l consumptio n (up to +20% in av-
erage): use the air vents when the exter-
nal temperature allows to.
Spoilers
The use of non-c erti fied aerodynamic
item s may advers ely affe ct air drag and
consumption levels.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine up with the car
standing: the engine warms up very slow-
ly in these condition s, increasing con-
sumption and emissions. It is advisable to
start off immediately and slowly keeping
the engine speed down: the engine will
warm up much faster this way.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when starting at traffic
lights or before stopping the engine. The
latter action, like doubling the clutch, is un-
necessary and causes increase of con-
sumption and pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic and
road conditions allow. Using a low gear
for faster acceleration will increase con-
sumption.
In the same way improper use of a high
gear increases consumption, emissions an
engine wear.CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may
help you to keep the running costs of your
car down and lower the amount of toxic
emissions released into the atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out
in accordance with the “Service schedule”.
Ty r e s
Check tyre pressure regularly at least
once ever y four weeks: excessively low
pressure will increase consumption be-
cause rolling resistance will be higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much luggage
stowed in the boot. The weight of the car
(especially when driving in town) and its
trim greatly affects consumption and sta-
bility.
