The temperature of the air taken in is
always controlled automatically de-
pending on the temperature set on the
display (except when the system is
turned off or under certain conditions
when the compressor is off. The fol-
lowing parameters and functions can
be manually set:
❒air temperature on driver/front
passenger side;
❒fan speed (continuous variation);
❒air distribution to five positions
(driver/front passenger side);
❒compressor on;
❒one-zone/two-zone distribution pri-
ority;
❒fast demist/defrost function;
❒air recirculation;
❒heated rear window;
❒system off. ❒compressor activation (to cool/
dehumidify air);
❒air recirculation.
All functions may be manually
changed. In order words, you may se-
lect one or more functions and change
the parameters as required. Auto-
matic control of the manually
changed functions will be suspended:
the system will change override your
settings only for safety related reasons
(e.g. risk of misting up).
Manual selections will always have
higher priority over automatic settings
and will be stored until the user
switches the system back to automatic
mode, except for the cases in which
the system will intervene for particu-
lar, safety-related reasons.
You can adjust one function automat-
ically and have the automatic system
control all the others.
The amount of air introduced into the
passenger compartment is indepen-
dent from speed of the car because the
fan is controlled by the electronic sys-
tem.AUTOMATIC TWO-
ZONE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
GENERAL INFORMATION
The two-zone automatic climate con-
trol system distributes air in the pas-
senger compartment in two zones:
driver’s and passenger’s side. Tem-
perature is controlled on the basis of
an “equivalent temperature” princi-
ple; in other words, the system con-
tinuously works to keep the comfort
level inside the car constant and to
compensate for possible variations of
external conditions, including sun ra-
diation detected by a specific sensor.
The automatically controlled para-
meters and functions are:
❒air temperature at the vents on dri-
ver/front passenger side;
❒air at vents on driver/front passen-
ger side;
❒fan speed (continuous air flow vari-
ation);

During completely automatic system
operation, you can vary the set tem-
perature, the air distribution and the
fan speed using the corresponding
buttons or knobs at any time: the sys-
tem will automatically change settings
to adapt to the new request.
During fully automatic operation
(FULL AUTO), the wordFULLwill
diasspear if the air distribution, air
speed, compressor and/or recircula-
tion settings are changed. In this way,
the functions will switch from auto-
matic to manual control until AUTO
is pressed again. The fan speed is the
same in all the zones of the passenger
compartment.
With on or more manually set func-
tions, the introduced air temperature
is still managed automatically by the
system, except for when the compres-
sor is off: in the case, the air intro-
duced into the passenger compart-
ment cannot be cooler than the out-
side air. During fully automatic operation, the
only functions that are enabled man-
ually are:
❒MONOto uniform the tempera-
ture and the air distribution on
front passenger or rear passenger
zones to the driver’s zone;
❒
…air recirculation, to keep it
always on or off;
❒
-to speed up demisting/defro-
sting of windscreen, side windows,
rear window and door mirrors;
❒
(to demist/defrost the heated
rear window and the external
rearview mirrors. USING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
The system can be started in different
ways, but it is advisable to press one
of the AUTObuttons and then to turn
the knobs to set the temperatures re-
quired on the display.
The system manages two passenger
compartment zones: the driver and
passenger can therefore select different
temperatures. The maximum differ-
ence between the two zones is 7°C.
The system will start running auto-
matically in this way and the set com-
fortable temperature will be reached
as quickly as possible. The system ad-
justs the temperature, amount and
distribution of air delivered to the
passenger compartment. In addition,
it manages the recirculation function
to engage the climate control system
compressor.

▼Air flow between foot well vents
(hotter air) and central and side

distribution is particularly useful
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 com-
partment and prevents the win-
dows from misting up. This function may be used to cool
down the passenger compartment as
fast as possible and exploit the system
potential to the maximum. The func-
tion activates air recirculation and the
climate control compressor, air distri-
bution and fan speed are managed by
the system according to environmen-
tal conditions. 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.I-M air
distribution
buttons
Press these buttons
to manually set one
of the five possible
air distribution pat-
terns on the left and
on the right side of
the passenger com-
partment:
▲Air flow to the windscreen and
front side window vents to demist
or defrost 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
tendency of hot air to spread up-
wards, this distribution pattern al-
lows to warm the passenger com-
partment up as quickly as possi-
ble, providing an immediate feel-
ing of warmth.

IMPORTANT The air recirculation
function makes it possible to reach the
required heating or cooling conditions
faster. It is however inadvisable to use
it on rainy/cold days as it would con-
siderably increase the possibility of
the windows misting inside, especially
if the climate control compressor is
off.
Recirculation is forced off (i.e. air is
introduced from the outside) when
the the outside temperature is colder
than 5-7°C to prevent misting up.Climate control

Press button
√when
the LED on the but-
ton is on, to turn the climate control
compressor off. The LED will go out.
Press the button when the LED is off
to restore automatically system con-
trol and use of the compressor. The
LED will light up on the button 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 temperature, the word
FULLwill disappear from the display.
If on the other hand the system can-
not maintain the required tempera-
ture, the digits will blink and the word
AUTOwill disappear.
IMPORTANT With the compressor
off, it is not possible to introduced air
cooler than ambient temperature into
the passenger compartment. Further-
more, in certain conditions, the win-
dows could mist up rapidly because
the air is not dehumidified.
It is advisable not to use
the air recirculation func-
tion when the outside temperature
is low to prevent the windows from
rapidly misting up.

CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may
help you to keep the running costs of
your vehicle 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 every four weeks: excessively low
pressure will increase consumption
because rolling resistance will be
higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded
boot. The weight of the car (especially
when driving in town) and its trim
greatly affects consumption and sta-
bility.Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack
from the roof after use. These acces-
sories decrease aerodynamic penetra-
tion of the car and have a negative ef-
fect on consumption. It is better to use
a trailer to transport particularly
bulky objects.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the
amount of time needed. Rear heated
window, additional headlights, wind-
screen wipers and heater fan need a
considerable amount of energy, there-
fore increasing the requirement of
current increases fuel consumption
(up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The climate control system requires
higher fuel consumption (up to +20%
in average): use the air vents when the
external temperature allows to.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic
items may adversely affect air drag
and fuel consumption levels.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine up with the
car standing: the engine warms up
very slowly in these conditions, in-
creasing consumption 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 dou-
bling the clutch, is unnecessary and
causes increase of consumption and
pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic
and road conditions allow. Using a
low gear for faster acceleration will in-
crease consumption.
In the same way improper use of a
high gear increases consumption,
emissions an engine wear.
