starts here.
The booklet that you are reading simply
and directly explains how it is made
and how it works.
That’s why we advise you to read it

STEERING WHEELThe steering wheel position can be
adjusted axially.
To carry out the adjustment, proceed as
follows:
❒release the lever fig. 38 by pulling it
towards the steering wheel (position
2);
❒adjust the steering wheel;
❒block the lever by pushing it forwards
(position 1).
17) 18)
WARNING
17) Any steering wheel position
adjustment should only be carried
out with the vehicle stationary
and the engine turned off.
18) It is absolutely forbidden to carry
out any after-market operation
involving steering system or
steering column modifications
(e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device). This could badly affect
performance and safety,
invalidate the warranty and also
result in the non-compliance
of the vehicle with approval
requirements.

Mirrors with electrical
adjustment
The electrical adjustment can only be
carried out with the ignition key in
the MAR-ON position.
To adjust the mirrors, turn the knob B
fig. 40 to one of the four positions: 1 left
mirror, 2 right mirror, 3 left wide angle,
4 right wide angle.
After rotating the knob B on the mirror
to be adjusted, move it in the direction
shown by the arrows to adjust the
selected glass.Mirror folding with
manual adjustment
When required (for example when the
mirror causes difficulty in narrow
spaces or at an automatic car washing
station) it is possible to fold the mirrors
manually moving them from position
1 to position 2 fig. 41.
If the mirror has been accidentally
rotated forwards (position 3), for
example due to an impact, it must be
manually returned to position 1.
20)
Mirror folding with
electrical adjustment
(for versions/markets, where provided)
When required (for example when
the mirror causes difficulty in narrow
spaces or during an automatic car
wash) it is possible to fold the mirrors
both electrically and manually, moving
them from position 1 to position 2
fig. 41.
Electric folding
To fold the mirrors electrically, press
point 2 of rocker button A fig. 42.
To bring the mirrors back to open
position, press point 1 of the button.
IMPORTANT If the mirrors are folded
electrically, they should be returned to
the open position electrically: do not try
to return the mirrors manually to driving
position.

Manual folding
To fold the mirrors manually, move them
from position 1 fig. 41 to position 2. If
the mirrors are folded manually, they
can be returned to the open position
both manually and electrically.
IMPORTANT To bring the mirrors
electrically to open position, press point
2 of the rocker button A fig. 42 until
an engagement “click” is heard, then
press point 1 of the button again.
Folding forwards
The mirrors can be manually folded
forwards (position 3 fig. 41) or brought
to open position 2 again manually if
they have been accidentally rotated
forwards (for example due to an
impact).
If the mirrors have been rotated
forwards manually or due to an impact,
they can be returned to the opening
position both manually and electrically.
To bring the mirrors electrically to open
position, press point 2 of the rocker
button A fig. 42 until an engagement
“click” is heard, then press point 1
of the button again.IMPORTANT If the mirrors have been
manually folded to position 3 fig. 41 by
mistake, the mirror moves to an
intermediate position. In this case,
manually rotate the mirror to position 1,
then press point 2 of the rocker button
A fig. 42 to return the mirror to position
2 until a “click” is heard, then press
point 1 of the button to bring it back to
position 1.
Defrosting/demisting
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The mirrors are fitted with resistors
that operate when the heated rear
window is activated (by pressing the
button).
IMPORTANT This function is timed and
will turn off automatically after several
minutes.
WARNING
19) As the driver's exterior mirror is
curved, it may slightly alter the
perception of distance of the
reflected image. Further,
the reflective surface of the lower
part of the exterior mirrors is
parabolic to increase the field of
view. The reflected image size
is thus reduced and gives the
impression that the reflected item
is further away than it actually
is.
20) When driving the mirrors should
always remain in position 1.

Turn D knob to
.It is advisable to switch the internal air
recirculation on whilst queuing or in
tunnels to prevent the introduction of
polluted air. Do not use the function for
a long time, particularly if there are
many passengers on board, to prevent
the windows from misting up.
IMPORTANT Internal air recirculation
makes it possible to reach the required
heating or cooling conditions more
quickly depending on the mode
selected.
Do not use the air recirculation function
on rainy/cold days as it would
considerably increase the possibility of

The system allows the following

control knob.USING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
The system can be started in different
ways, but it is advisable to start by
pressing the AUTO button and then
turning the knob to set the temperature
required on the display. The system
will start running automatically in this
way and the set temperature will be
reached as quickly as possible. The
system will adjust the temperature, the
quantity and the distribution of the air
sent into the passenger compartment
and, by managing the recirculation
function, the activation of the
compressor. During fully automatic
operation, the only manual intervention
required is the possible activation of
the following functions:
❒
air recirculation, to keep the
function always either on or off;❒
to speed up demisting/defrosting
of windscreen, rear window and
external rear view mirrors.
During fully automatic system
operation, you can change the set
temperature, air distribution and fan
speed at any time by using the relevant
buttons or knobs: the system will
automatically change its settings to
adjust to the new requirements. During
fully automatic operation (FULL AUTO),
the word FULL will disappear if the air
distribution and/or flow rate and/or
engagement of the compressor and/or
recirculation settings are changed. In
this way, the functions will switch from
automatic to manual control until the
AUTO button is pressed again. With
one or more functions turned on
manually, the adjustment of the intake
air temperature continues to be
managed automatically, except with the
compressor switched off: if this is the
case, the temperature of the air sent
into the passenger compartment
cannot be lower than that of the
outside air.
