This function may be used to heat up
the passenger compartment as fast as
possible and exploit the system po-
tential to the maximum. The function
uses the maximum coolant tempera-
ture while air and fan speed distribu-
tion are managed by the system ac-
cording to conditions.
Specifically, if the heating fluid is not
warm enough, the fan will not start
up at the maximum speed immedi-
ately to limit introducing excessively
cool air into the passenger compart-
ment.
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.
❒LOfunction (maximum cooling):
select by turning the temperature
knob anticlockwise under the mini-
mum value (16 °C). It can be oper-
ated from either by the driver or by
the front passenger (by selecting the
MONOfunction). This function is used to adjust the
temperature in the passenger com-
partment when the driver only is in
the car.
To go back to separate air and tem-
perature distribution in the two zones
of the passenger compartment, sim-
ply turn the knobs Hor press (A-
MONO) when the LED on the button
is on.
Turn the knobs either all to the right

Turn the knobs clock-
wise or anticlockwise
to turn the tempera-

front left zone (knob
N) and the right zone
(knobH) of the pas-

respectively.
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 set temperature is shown on the
display near the knobs.
Press A(MONO) to automatically
align the temperature in the front pas-
senger zone to the driver’s side tem-
perature. The same temperature can
be set in both zones by turning knob

These operating conditions are ob-
tained by pressing Cin sequence.
For safety reasons, the system will au-
tomatically turn the recycle function

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

√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.

When the compressor is off, if the ex-
ternal temperature is hotter than the

not satisfy the request, the digits of
the set temperature will blink for a
few seconds and the message AUTO
will go out.
With climate control compressor off,
the fan speed can be set to zero man-
ually (no bar shown).

gine started, the fan speed may be re-
duced to the minimum setting (only

FUEL CUT OFF
SWITCH
The switch is located on the bottom of
the car, near the pillar on passenger
side. Move the carpet aside to reach
the switch. It is tipped by a crash and
cuts off the fuel feed, thus stopping
the engine.
When the device is activated the
warning light
èturns on together
with the relevant message on the re-
configurable multifunctional display
(for versions/markets, where pro-
vided).
Inspect the car carefully for fuel leak-
ages (e.g. in the engine compart-
ment), under the car or near the fuel
tank.
If, after a crash, you smell
fuel or see leaks from the
fuel system, do not reset the switch
to avoid fine risk.
WARNING
fig. 81L0D0388m
Press button A-fig. 81to reactivate
the fuel feed system if no leakage is
found and the car is worthy of re-
suming travel.
After the accident, remember to turn
the ignition key to STOPto prevent
draining the battery.
