SAFE LOCK DEVICE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This safety device inhibits the operation of the
interior door handles and the door locking/unlocking
button.
It thereby prevents the opening of the doors from
inside the passenger compartment, serving as an
obstacle to break-in attempts (e.g. broken window).
We recommend that you activate the device each
time you park your car.
Activating the device
The device is enabled on all the doors by quickly
double-pressing the
button on the key.
The direction indicators flash 3 times and the LED
above the
fig. 17 button flashes to indicate that
the device has been activated. If one or more of the
doors are not closed correctly, the device will not
activate, thus preventing a person from getting stuck
inside the passenger compartment by entering the
car through, and then closing, the open door.Deactivating the device
The device deactivates automatically:
❒unlocking the doors (pressing button
on the key
with remote control);
❒by turning the ignition key to the MAR position.
WARNING
Once the safe lock system is engaged, it
is impossible to open the doors from
inside the car.Therefore, before getting out of
the car check that there is no-one left on board.

The amount of air introduced into the passenger
compartment is not affected by car speed; it is
regulated by the fan, which is controlled
electronically.
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/passenger side air temperature;
❒fan speed (continuous variation);
❒air distribution to 7 positions;
❒compressor enablement;
❒rapid defrosting/demisting function;
❒air recirculation;
❒heated rear window;
❒system deactivation.
The climate control system detects the
passenger compartment temperature
using a mean radiant temperature sensor
located in the interior rear view mirror and
protected by a specific cover. Obstructing the
field of view of this sensor with any object could
cause the climate control system to operate
with less than optimal efficiency.SWITCHING ON THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
The climate control system can be switched on in
different ways: it is advisable to press the AUTO
button and turn 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
function 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 completely automatic operation (AUTO),
varying the air flow and/or distribution (which are
not displayed) causes the AUTO function LED
to disappear and the system to operate in MANUAL
mode (displaying both the flow and distribution
requested).
When the compressor is deactivated, the AUTO
operation remains active only if the system can
guarantee in-car comfort. Otherwise, the system
switches to MANUAL mode (the set temperatures
will flash on the display). The fan speed is the same in
all the zones of the passenger compartment.

"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 (for versions/markets,
where provided).
RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is located behind the interior rear view mirror,
in contact with the windscreen fig. 47 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. 46 is
turned to
position: 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 Setup menu (see paragraph "Menu
Items" in this section).
The variation in sensitivity during rain sensor
operation is also signalled by a stroke of the wipers.
This stroke is also executed with the windscreen dry.
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.
