When the Start&Stop function is active (engine off
at zero car speed), the climate control system will
request the reactivation of the engine if the inside
temperature conditions rapidly deteriorate (or if
the user requests maximum cooling – LO – or
quick demisting – MAX DEF).
With Start&Stop function active (engine off at
zero car speed), the air flow rate (if managed
automatically) is reduced in order to maintain the
passenger compartment comfort conditions for
as long as possible.
The climate control system control unit attempts
to manage the decreased comfort caused by
stopping the engine as far as possible (switching
off the compressor and engine coolant pump) but
the operation of the climate control system can
be favoured by deactivating the Start&Stop
function using the dedicated button on the
dashboard.
NOTEIn particularly severe climate conditions it
is recommended to limit the use of the Start&Stop
function to prevent the compressor from
continuously switching on and off, with
consequent rapid misting of the windows and
accumulation of humidity with unpleasant smells
in the passenger compartment.
EXTERNAL LIGHTSThe left-hand stalk operates most of the external
lights.
The ignition key has to be in the MAR position for
the exterior lights to come on.
The instrument panel and the various dashboard
controls will come on with the external lights.
DAY LIGHTS (DRL)
"Daytime Running Lights"
(for versions/markets, where provided)
With the ignition key turned to MAR-ON and ring
nut A fig. 34 turned to positionOthe daytime
running lights are automatically activated; the
other lights and interior lighting remain off.
If the daytime running lights are deactivated, no
light comes on when ring nut A is turned toO.

"Smart washing" function
Pull the lever towards the steering wheel (unstable
position) to activate the windscreen washer.
Keeping the stalk pulled for more than half a
second, with just one movement it is possible to
operate the washer jet and the wiper at the same
time.
The wiper stops working three strokes after the
stalk is released.
A further stroke after approximately six seconds
completes the wiping cycle.
RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is located behind the interior rear view
mirror, in contact with the windscreen fig. 36 and
can detect the presence of rain and, consequently,
manage the cleaning of the windscreen in
accordance with the amount of water on the
screen.
The sensor has an adjustment range that varies
progressively from wiper still (no stroke) when the
windscreen is dry, to wiper at 2
nd
continuous
speed (fast continuous operation) with intense
rain.Activation
The sensor is activated when the ring nut A fig. 35
is turned to "automatic" position ("AUTO"
control): the windscreen wiper stroke frequency is
thus adjusted in accordance with the amount of
water on the windscreen.
The activation of the sensor is signalled by a
"stroke" to show that the command has been
acquired.
The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be adjusted
through the Set Up menu (see paragraph "Menu
Items" in this section).
IMPORTANT Keep the glass in the sensor area
clean.
If the windscreen washer is used with the rain
sensor activated, the normal washing cycle is
performed, after which the rain sensor resumes its
normal automatic operation.

When the ECO function is activated, the car is set
for city driving, characterised by less effort on
the steering wheel (Dualdrive system on) and
reduced fuel consumption.
When this function is activated, the word ECO on
the display will light up on some versions.
This function stays in the memory, so when the
vehicle is started again, the system keeps the
setting it had before the engine was stopped. Press
the ECO button again to deactivate the function
and restore the normal driving setting.
FUEL CUT-OFF SYSTEM
This intervenes in the event of an impact causing:
❒the interruption of the fuel supply with the
engine consequently cutting out
❒the automatic unlocking of the doors
❒the automatic switching on of the interior lights
❒the switching on of the hazard warning lights.
On some versions, the intervention of the system is
indicated by a message shown on the display.
IMPORTANT Carefully check the car for fuel
leaks, for instance in the engine compartment,
under the car or near the tank area. After a
collision, turn the ignition key to STOP to prevent
the battery from running down.
To restore the correct operation of the car, proceed
as follows:
❒turn the ignition key to the MAR position;❒activate the right direction indicator;
❒deactivate the right direction indicator;
❒activate the left direction indicator;

❒turn the ignition key to the STOP position.
WARNING
If, after an impact, you smell fuel or
notice leaks from the fuel system,
do not reactivate the system to avoid the risk
of fire.
