“Anti-Whiplash” device
The head restraints are equipped with
an “Anti-Whiplash” device, which
reduces the distance between head
and head restraint in the event of a rear
impact, thus mitigating the “whiplash”
effect.
The head restraint may move when the
backrest is pressed by the occupant's
torso or hand: this behaviour is caused
by the system and should not be
considered a malfunction.
REAR
Two height-adjustable head restraints
are provided for the back seats (for the
adjustment see the previous
paragraph).
On some versions a head restraint is
also provided for the central seat.
Proceed as follows to remove the head
restraints:
❒raise the head restraints to their
maximum height;
❒press buttons A and B fig. 17, then
remove the head restraints by pulling
them upwards.
WARNING
9) The head restraints must be
adjusted so that the head, rather
than the neck, rests on them. Only
in this case they can protect your
head correctly.
STEERING WHEELIt can be adjusted axially and vertically.
To adjust, release the lever by pushing it
forwards (position 1 fig. 18) and adjust
the steering wheel. Having made the
adjustment, lock lever A by pulling

With the compressor on and the engine
running, manual ventilation cannot be
lower than the minimum speed (only
one LED lit).
IMPORTANT With the compressor off,
air cannot be introduced to the
passenger compartment with
a temperature lower than the outside
temperature. Moreover, under certain
environmental conditions, windows
could mist up rapidly since the air is not
dehumidified.
RAPID WINDOW
DEMISTING/DEFROSTING
(MAX-DEF function)
Press the
button to activate (LED
on button on) the windscreen and side
windows demisting/defrosting function.
The climate control system carries out
the following operations:
❒switches on the air conditioning
compressor when climatic conditions
are suitable;
❒deactivates air recirculation;
❒sets maximum air temperature (HI) in
both zones;
❒sets fan speed according to the
engine coolant temperature;
❒directs air flow to windscreen and
front side windows diffusers;❒activates the heated rear window.
❒displays the fan speed (LED G lit).
IMPORTANT The MAX-DEF function
remains on for about 3 minutes from
when the engine coolant reaches the
appropriate temperature.
When the function is activated, the LED
on the AUTO button switches off.
With the function activated the only
possible manual adjustments are
adjusting the fan speed and turning the
heated rear window off.
When the B, C,
or AUTO buttons
are pressed, the climate control system
will turn the MAX-DEF off.
HEATED REAR WINDOW
DEMISTING/DEFROSTING
Press the
button to activate (LED
on button on) heated rear window
demisting/defrosting.
This function switches off automatically
after about 20 minutes or when the
engine is turned off. It is not switched
on automatically the next time the
engine is started.
For versions/markets where provided,
press thebutton to activate
demisting/defrosting of exterior rear
view mirrors and heated nozzles (for
versions/markets, where provided).IMPORTANT Do not affix stickers to the
inside of the heated rear window over
the heating filaments, to avoid damage
that might cause them to stop working
properly.
Thermal comfort
windscreen
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Some versions feature a thermal
comfort windscreen which, with the car
exposed to the sun, reduces the
temperature in the passenger
compartment relative to the outside
temperature, thus ensuring greater
comfort.
Humidity sensor
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The humidity sensor helps to prevent
the windows from misting up. For
full functionality, it is advisable to
activate the AUTO function (LED N on).
When the outside temperature is low,
the system could automatically turn the
compressor on and turn air recirculation
off for safer driving.

SWITCHING OFF/ON THE
CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM
Switching off the
climate control system
Press the
button (LED on button off).
With climate control off:
❒air recirculation is on, thus isolating
the passenger compartment from
the outside;
❒the compressor is off;
❒the fan is off;
❒the heated rear window can be
switched on or off;
❒the AQS (Air Quality System) function
cannot be activated.
IMPORTANT The climate control
system control unit stores the
temperatures set before the system
was switched off and restores them
when any button of the system is
pressed (except for button D).
Switching on the climate
control system
To switch on the climate control system
in fully automatic mode press the AUTO
button.START&STOP
Automatic Climate
Control
The dual zone automatic climate control
manages the Start&Stop function
(engine off when the car speed is zero)
to guarantee a suitable comfort inside
the car.
Specifically, the Start&Stop function is
turned off when the weather is
particularly hot or cold to guarantee an
adequate level of comfort inside the
passenger compartment; therefore, the
engine will not be stopped during
these transient conditions, even if the
speed is zero.
When the Start&Stop function is active
(engine off at zero car speed), the
climate control system will request
restarting of the engine if the inside
temperature conditions rapidly
deteriorate (or if the user requests
maximum cooling – LO – or quick
demisting – MAX DEF).
With the Start&Stop function on (engine
off at zero speed), air flow is reduced
to the minimum to maintain comfort
conditions inside the passenger
compartment as long as possible when
the system is in AUTO mode (LED N
on).The climate control system control unit
attempts to manage the discomfort
caused by the engine stopping
(compressor and engine coolant pump
off) but operation of the climate control
system can be enhanced by turning
the Start&Stop off by pressing 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.
NoteWhen the Start&Stop function is
on (engine off and vehicle speed zero),
the automatic recirculation
management is turned off always taking
air in from outside, to reduce the
probability of window misting up (as the
compressor is off).

stroke after approximately 6 seconds
completes the cycle.RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is an infrared LED sensor fitted
on the car windscreen fig. 33.
It is able to detect the presence of rain
and consequently manage windscreen
wiping in accordance with the amount
of water on the windscreen.
Activation
The sensor is activated when ring nut A
fig. 32 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.
This frequency can vary from no stroke
(no rain - windscreen dry) up to the
2
nd
constant speed operation (heavy
rain - windscreen wet).
