Setting the speed limit (SPEEd)
This function is used to set a speed limit (km/h or mph);
the driver is alerted when this limit is exceeded (see
“Warning lights and messages”).
To set the desired speed limit, proceed as follows:
– press SET ESC: the word SPEEd and the previously set
unit (km/h or mph) will appear on the display;
– press button ▲or ▼to select speed limit activation (On)
or deactivation (Off);
– when the function is activated (On), press buttons
▲ or ▼to select the speed limit and press SET ESC to
confirm.
Hold down the SET ESC button
– to quit the setup menu if you are in the menu;
– to quit to the menu if you are setting an option;
– to save only the settings already memorized (confirmed
by pressing the SET ESC button).
The setup menu page is timed. Only the changes already
memorized by pressing the SET ESC button are saved
when you come out of the menu.
Adjusting the vehicle interior lighting
(ILLU)
This function is available, with the dipped headlamps on
and at night, to adjust the brightness of the instrument pan-
el, buttons, radio display and automatic climate control dis-
play.
During the daytime, and with the dipped headlamps on,
the instrument panel, buttons and radio and automatic cli-
mate control displays are set to maximum brightness.

Manual selections will always take priority over automat-
ic settings and will be stored until the user switches the
system back to automatic operation by pressing the
AUTO button again, except for when the system inter-
venes for particular safety-related reasons. You can adjust
one function manually without affecting the automatic con-
trol of the others.
The temperature of the air introduced is always controlled
automatically, depending on the temperature set in the dis-
play (except when the system is off or in certain condi-
tions when the compressor is switched off).
The system allows the following parameters and functions
to be set or altered manually: air temperature, fan speed
(continuous variation); air distribution in seven positions;
compressor enablement; fast defrosting/demisting func-
tion; air recirculation; switching off the system.AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL
(for versions/markets, where provided)
GENERAL INFORMATION
The automatic climate control system adjusts the tem-
perature, the quantity and the distribution of the air in the
passenger compartment. The temperature control is based
on the “equivalent temperature”: in other words, the sys-
tem continuously works to keep the comfort level inside
the vehicle constant and to compensate for possible vari-
ations in outside conditions, including the solar radiation
detected by a dedicated sensor. The automatically con-
trolled parameters and functions are:
❒air temperature at the vents;
❒air distribution at the vents;
❒fan speed
(continuous air flow variation);
❒compressor activation
(to cool/dehumidify the air);
❒air recirculation.
All functions may be changed manually. In other words,
you may select one or more functions and change the pa-
rameters as required. Automatic control of the manually
changed functions will be deactivated: the system will on-
ly override your settings for safety related reasons (e.g.
risk of misting up).

During fully automatic operation (FULL AUTO), the word
FULL will disappear if the air distribution and/or flow rate
and/or activation of the compressor and/or recirculation
settings are changed. In this way, the functions will switch
from automatic to manual control until the AUTO button
is pressed again. With one or more functions turned on
manually, the adjustment of the intake air temperature con-
tinues to be managed automatically, except with the com-
pressor switched off: if this is the case, the temperature of
the air introduced into the passenger compartment can-
not be lower than that of the outside air.
CONTROLS
Air temperature adjustment knob (I)
Turn the knob either clockwise or anticlockwise to in-
crease or lower the temperature in the passenger com-
partment.
The temperature set is shown on the display.
Turn the knob either all to the right or all to the left to
the extreme HI or LO position to turn the maximum heat-
ing or maximum cooling functions on:
❒HI Function (maximum heating):
select by turning the temperature knob clockwise over the
maximum value (32 °C).
USING THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
The system can be started in different ways, but it is ad-
visable to start by pressing the AUTO button and then
turning the knob to set the temperature required on the
display. The system will start running automatically in this
way and the set temperature will be reached as quickly
as possible. The system will adjust the temperature, the
quantity and the distribution of the air introduced into the
passenger compartment and will manage the recirculation
function and the air conditioning compressor engagement.
During fully automatic operation the only manual inter-
vention required is the possible activation of the following
functions:
❒Ò
air recirculation, to keep it always on or off;
❒Zto speed up demisting/defrosting of the front door
window glasses, rear door window glasses and door
mirrors.
During fully automatic system operation, you can change
the set temperatures, air distribution and fan speed at any
time by using the relevant buttons or knobs: the system
will automatically change its settings to adjust to the new
requirements.

AUTO button (A)
(automatic operation)
Press AUTO to make the system automatically adjust the
quantity and distribution of the air introduced into the pas-
senger compartment. All previous manual settings will be
cancelled.
The message FULL AUTO appears on the front display.
By manually adjusting at least one of the functions auto-
matically managed by the system (air recirculation, air dis-
tribution, fan speed or air conditioning compressor on/off),
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 au-
tomatically by the system).
WARNING Should the system (after manual intervention)
no longer be able to guarantee the target temperature for
the passenger compartment, the set temperature value will
start flashing to indicate the difficulties the system is ex-
periencing and then the word AUTO will go out.
To restore system automatic control at any time, after one
or more manual adjustments, press the AUTO
button.
Fan speed adjustment buttons (H)
Press the outsides of button
Hto increase or decrease the
fan speed and therefore the amount of air admitted into
the passenger compartment, although maintaining the tar-
get 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 only be disabled if the climate control com-
pressor has been switched off by pressing button
F-fig. 42.
WARNING To restore automatic fan speed control af-
ter a manual adjustment, press the AUTO button.
WARNING At high vehicle speeds, the dynamic effect may
increase the air flow rate into the passenger compartment,
which in this case will not directly correspond to the fan
speed bar display.
