automatically when the key is turned to MAR, starting at 2,000 km (or
equivalent value in miles) from when the next service is due and
reappearing every 200 km (or equivalent value in miles). Below 200
km the signals become more frequent. The display will be in km or
mi depending on the measurement unit settings. When the next
scheduled service is approaching and the key is turned to MAR, the
word Service will appear on the display, followed by the number

TRIP COMPUTERGENERAL INFORMATIONThe Trip computer is used to display information on car operation
when the key is turned to MAR.
This function allows you to define two separate trips called “Trip A”
and “Trip B” for monitoring the car's "complete journey" in a
reciprocally independent manner.
Both functions are resettable (reset - start of a new journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
❒Range
❒Distance travelled
❒Average fuel consumption
❒Instant fuel consumption
❒Average speed
❒Trip time (driving time).
“Trip B” may be used to display the figures relating to:
❒Distance travelled B
❒Average consumption B
❒Average speed B
❒Trip time B (driving time).
The “Trip B” function may be disabled (see “Activating Trip B”).
“Range” and “Instant consumption" parameters cannot be reset.
VALUES DISPLAYEDRange
This indicates the indicative distance that may be travelled with the fuel
in the tank, assuming that driving conditions do not change.
The display will show the reading '-----' when the following events take
place:
❒range value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
❒car parked with engine running for a long period.
IMPORTANT The range can be affected by several factors: driving style
(see “Driving style” in the “Starting and driving” section), type of
route (motorway, towns and cities, mountain roads, etc.), conditions of
use (load, tyre pressures, etc.). Trip planning must therefore take the
above into account.
Distance covered
Shows the distance covered since the start of the new journey.
Average consumption
Shows the approximate average fuel consumption since the start of the
new journey.
Instantaneous consumption
This indicates the fuel consumption. The value is constantly updated.
The display will show “----”ifthecarisparked with the engine
running.

When a speed of over 20 km/h is reached, the doors are
automatically locked if this specific function has been set (only on
versions with multifunction reconfigurable display).
When the doors are locked from outside the car (using the remote

DESCRIPTIONThe automatic dual zone climate control system regulates the air
temperatures in the passenger compartment in two areas: driver side
and passenger side.
The system maintains comfort inside the passenger compartment and
compensates for possible variations in external climate conditions.
NoteThe reference temperature is 22°C for optimal comfort
management.
The automatically controlled parameters and functions are:
❒air temperature at the driver's/front passenger side vents;
❒air distribution at the driver's/front passenger side vents;
❒fan speed (continuous variation of the air flow);
❒compressor engagement (for cooling/dehumidifying the air);
❒air recirculation.
All these functions can be adjusted manually by operating the system
and selecting one or more functions and modifying their parameters.
Automatic control of the manually changed functions will be
suspended: the system will only override the settings for safety reasons.
Manual selections always have higher priority than automatic settings
and are stored until the AUTO button is pressed, except for cases in
which the system intervenes for safety reasons.
You can adjust one function manually without affecting the automatic
control of the others. The amount of air introduced into the passenger
compartment is not affected by vehicle speed; it is electronically
controlled by a fan.
The air temperature is always automatically controlled according to the
temperature set on the display (except for when the system is off or in
certain conditions when the compressor is not running).The system allows the following to be set or adjusted manually:
❒driver's/passenger side air temperature;
❒fan speed (continuous variation);
❒air distribution pattern with 7 positions;
❒compressor enabling;
❒rapid defrosting/demisting function;
❒air recirculation;
❒heated rear window;
❒system deactivation.
The climate control system detects the passenger
compartment temperature through a mean radiant
temperature sensor installed in a cover under the rear view
mirror; if the cone of this sensor is obstructed by any object, the system
may not work correctly.
SWITCHING ON THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEMThe climate control system can be switched on in different ways: we
recommend pressing the AUTO button and turning the knobs to set the
desired temperatures.
In this way the system operates completely automatically to adjust the
temperature, quantity and distribution of the air introduced into the
passenger compartment. It also manages the air recirculation system
and the activation of the air conditioning compressor.

During automatic 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 the settings to adjust to
the new requirements.
During fully automatic operation (AUTO), the word AUTO will
disappear if the air distribution and/or flow rate and/or engagement
of the compressor and/or recirculation settings are changed.
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 climate control system will continue to automatically
manage all functions except for those that have been manually
adjusted. The fan speed is the same in all the zones of the passenger
compartment.ADJUSTING THE AIR TEMPERATURETurn the A or L knob right or left to adjust the air temperature: A knob
for the front left-hand area, L knob for the front right-hand area of
the passenger compartment. The set temperatures are shown on
the displays.
Press the MONO button to align the air temperature between the two
areas:
Turn the L knob to return to the separate management of air
temperatures in the two zones.
Turn the knobs fully right or left to engage HI (maximum heating) or LO
(maximum cooling) respectively. To deactivate these functions, turn
the temperature knob to the desired temperature.
SETTING THE AIR DISTRIBUTIONBy pressing the buttons (
/
/
), it is possible to set one of the
7 possible air distributions manually:
Air flow to the windscreen and front side window diffusers to
demist/defrost them.Air flow at central and side dashboard vents to ventilate the chest
and the face during the hot season.Air flow to the front and rear footwell diffusers. This air
distribution setting heats the passenger compartment most
quickly, giving a prompt sensation of warmth.
Air flow distributed between footwell vents (hotter air) and
central and side dashboard vents (cooler air). This
distribution setting is useful in spring and autumn on sunny
days.Air flow distributed between footwell diffusers and
windscreen and front side window defrosting/demisting
diffusers. This distribution setting allows the passenger
compartment to warm up efficiently and prevents the
windows from misting up.Air flow distribution between windscreen demisting/
defrosting diffusers and side and central dashboard vents.
This allows air to be sent to the windscreen in conditions
of strong sunlight.
Air flow distribution to all vents on the car.
In AUTO mode, the climate control system automatically manages air
distribution (the LEDs on buttons H are off). When set manually, the air
distribution is shown by the LEDs on the selected buttons.
