Air recirculation
on/off button (C)
Air recirculation is con-
trolled according to the
following operating log-
ics:
❒forced switching on (air recirculation
always on), indicated by the turning on
of the led on button C-fig. 65and
symbol íon the display;
❒forced switching off (air recirculation
always off with air inlet from the out-
side), indicated by the turning off of
the button led and êon the display.
These operating conditions are obtained
pressing in sequence the air recirculation
button C.
After a preset time, the climate control
system will turn air recirculation off au-
tomatically for safety reasons, thus en-
abling outside air inlet.IMPORTANT The air recirculation system
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 considerably
increase the possibility of the windows
misting inside, especially if the climate con-
trol system is off.
When the outside temperature is below
5-7°C, air recirculation is switched off (air
is taken from the outside) to prevent mist-
ing.
Climate control
compressor on/off
button (B)
Press the √button,
when the button led is
on, to switch the com-
pressor off. The led will go off. By press-
ing again the button when the led is off,
the system automatic control of the com-
pressor activation is restored; this condi-
tion is indicated by button led lighting up.
When the air conditioner compressor is
off, the system deactivates air recircula-
tion to prevent window misting up. Al-
though the system is still able to maintain
the required temperature, the message
FULLon the display will go off. If the sys-
tem is no longer able to keep the required
temperature, also the message AUTO
will turn off.IMPORTANT Air at a temperature low-
er than that of the outside air cannot be
let into the passenger compartment when
the compressor is off. Furthermore, in
particular environmental conditions, the
windows could mist up fast because the
air is no longer dehumidified.
Setting will be stored also when the en-
gine is stopped. Either press again button
√(in this case the system operates as
heater only) or AUTOto reset auto-
matic control of the compressor.
With compressor off, if the outside tem-
perature is higher than the set tempera-
ture, the system cannot reach the re-
quired temperature. This will be signalled
by the flashing of set temperature value on
the display for a few seconds, then the
message AUTOwill go off.
When the compressor is off, it is possi-
ble to reset manually the fan speed (no bar
displayed).
When the compressor is on and the en-
gine is running, fan speed cannot be low-
er than the minimum (one bar displayed).
It is inadvisable to use the air
recirculation feature with
low outside temperature as the win-
dows might mist over quickly.

CRUISE CONTROL
(where provided)
It is a device able to support the driver,
with electronic control, which allows dri-
ving at speed over 30 km/h on long and
straight dry roads (e.g.: motorways), at a
desired speed, without pressing the ac-
celerator pedal. Therefore it is not sug-
gested to use this device on extra-urban
roads with traffic. Do not use it in town.
DEVICE ENGAGEMENT
Turn knurled ring A-fig. 78to ON.
The device may only be engaged in the 4th
or 5th gear. Travelling downhill with the
device engaged, the car speed may in-
crease more than the memorised one.
When the device is activated, the warning
light
Üon the instrument cluster turns on
together with the message (where pro-
vided) on the reconfigurable multifunction
display.
fig. 78F0H0074m
TO MEMORISE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❒turn the knurled ring A-fig. 78to
ONand press the accelerator pedal
to the required speed;
❒move the stalk upwards (+) for at
least three seconds, then release it.
The car speed is memorised and it is
therefore possible to release the
accelerator pedal.
In the case of need (when overtaking for
instance) acceleration is possible simply
pressing the accelerator pedal: releasing
the accelerator pedal, the car will return
to the speed memorised previously.TO RESET THE MEMORISED
SPEED
If the device has been disengaged for ex-
ample pressing the brake or clutch pedal,
the memorised speed can be reset as fol-
lows:
❒accelerate gradually until reaching a
speed approaching the one memo-
rised;
❒engage the gear selected at the time
of speed memorising (4thor 5thgear);
❒press the RES button B-fig. 78.
TO INCREASE THE MEMORISED
SPEED
The speed memorised can be increased in
two ways:
❒pressing the accelerator and then
memorising the new speed reached;
or
❒moving the stalk upwards (+).
Each operation of the stalk will corre-
spond to a slight increase in speed (about
1 km/h), while keeping the stalk upwards
continuously will correspond to a contin-
uous speed increase.
When travelling with the de-
vice on, do not put the gear-
box lever in neutral.
