Air distribution buttons (B)
Press these buttons to manually set one
of the seven air distribution settings:
▲Air flow to the windscreen and front side window
vents to demist or defrost the windows.
˙Air flow to the central and side dashboard vents to
ventilate the chest and the face in hot weather.
▼Air flow to the front and rear footwell vents. Thanks
to the natural tendency of hot air to rise, this
distribution pattern allows the passenger
compartment to warm up as quickly as possible,
providing an immediate feeling of warmth.
˙
▼Air flow distribution split between footwell vents
(hotter air) and central and side dashboard vents
(cooler air). This distribution mode is particularly
useful in spring and autumn on sunny days.
▲
▼Air flow distribution split between the footwell vents
and the windscreen and front side windows
defrosting/demisting vents. This allows an adequate
warming of the passenger compartment and
prevents the windows from steaming up.
This function may be used to heat up the passenger
compartment by exploiting the system’s potential to the
full. In this event, the system stops controlling the
temperature automatically and sets the air mixing to
maximum heating. The air speed and distribution are
fixed.
In particular, if the heating fluid is not sufficiently hot,
the maximum fan speed does not come on straight away
in order to limit the intake of insufficiently hot air to 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.
❒LO function (maximum cooling):
select by turning the temperature knob anticlockwise
beyond the minimum value (16 °C).
This function may be used to cool down the passenger
compartment by exploiting the system’s potential to the
full. In this event, the system stops controlling the
temperature automatically and sets the air mixing to
maximum cooling. The air speed and distribution are
fixed. 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.

The fan speed is shown by the bars lit up on the display:
❒Max. fan speed = all bars lit;
❒Min. fan speed = one bar lit.
The fan can be disabled only if the climate control
compressor has been switched off by pressing button
F-fig. 53.
IMPORTANT To restore automatic fan speed control
after a manual adjustment, press the AUTO button.
IMPORTANT At high vehicle speeds, the dynamic effect
may increase the flow of air into the passenger
compartment, which in this case will not directly
correspond to the fan speed bar display.
AUTO button (A)
(automatic operation)
When the AUTO button is pressed the
system automatically regulates the
quantity and the distribution of the air
introduced into the passenger
compartment cancelling all the previous
manual adjustments.
The message FULL AUTO will appear on the front
display in this condition.
By manually adjusting at least one of the functions
automatically managed by the system (air recirculation,
air distribution, fan speed or switching off the
compressor), the word FULL will disappear from the
display, indicating that the system is no longer
automatically controlling all the functions (the
temperature will still be controlled automatically).

˙Air flow distribution split between the windscreen
and front side windows defrosting/demisting vents
and the central and side dashboard vents. This
distribution makes it possible to maintain good levels
of comfort and keep the passenger compartment
sufficiently cool (useful in the summer).

˙
▼Air flow distribution split between the windscreen
and front side windows defrosting/demisting vents,
the central and side dashboard vents and the
footwell vents. This distribution allows good air
diffusion and maintains a good level of comfort both
in summer and winter.
The distribution set is shown by the corresponding
LEDs on the selected buttons coming on.
To restore automatic control of the air distribution
after a manual selection, press the AUTO button.

or to decrease the fan speed and
therefore the amount of air introduced
into the passenger compartment, whilst
keeping the required temperature set.

The LED comes on in the following cases:
❒after each door lock command generated by the
button D or by button
Áin the dashboard;
❒when the instrument panel is activated;
❒upon opening of one of the front doors;
❒when the door is locked at 20 km/h (if activated
from the menu).
The lock is turned off when one of the load
compartment doors is opened or on a door release
request (load compartment or centralised) or an
unlocking request from the remote control/door catch.
DEAD LOCK
(for versions/markets where provided)
This safety device inhibits the operation of:
❒interior handles;
❒locking/unlocking buttons A-B fig. 112;
thereby preventing the opening of the doors from inside
the passenger compartment if there has been a break-in
attempt (e.g. a window has been broken).
The dead lock device therefore offers the best possible
protection against break in attempts. We recommend
engaging it whenever the vehicle is parked and left
unattended.
Once the dead lock system is engaged it
is impossible to open the doors from
inside the vehicle. Therefore, before engaging
the system check that there is no one left inside.
If the remote control battery is flat, the system
can only be disengaged by using the metal insert
in either of the door locks as described
previously: in this case the device only remains
on for the rear doors.
WARNING
Device activation
The dead lock device is automatically activated on every
door when pressing the remote control button
Ábriefly
twice, fig. 109.
Device activation is indicated by 3 flashes of the
direction indicators and the flashing of the LED on
button A-fig. 112 on the dashboard.
If one of the doors is not perfectly shut, the dead lock
device will not be activated, thus preventing a person
getting into the car through the open door and, on
shutting it, remaining stuck inside the passenger
compartment.
