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.

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.

CONTROLS
Air temperature
adjustment knob (I)
Turn the knob either clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or lower
the requested temperature in the
passenger compartment.
The set temperature is shown on the
display.
Turn the knob either fully to the right or
fully to the left to the extreme HI or
LO position to turn the maximum
heating or maximum cooling functions
on:
❒HI function (maximum heating): select
by turning the temperature knob
clockwise beyond the maximum
value (32°C).
This function may be used to heat up
the passenger compartment by
exploiting the system's potential to the
full. In this event, the system stops
controlling the temperature
automatically and sets the air mixing to
maximum heating. The air speed and
distribution are fixed.
In particular, if the heating fluid is not
sufficiently hot, the maximum fan speed
does not come on straight away in
order to limit the intake of insufficiently
hot air to the passenger compartment.All manual settings will be allowed when
this function is on.
To switch the function off, simply turn
the temperature knob anticlockwise
and set the required temperature.
❒LO function (maximum cooling):
select by turning the temperature
knob anticlockwise beyond the
minimum value (16°C).
This function may be used to cool
down the passenger compartment by
exploiting the system's potential to
the full. In this event, the system stops
controlling the temperature
automatically and sets the air mixing to
maximum cooling. The air speed and
distribution are fixed. All manual
settings will be allowed when this
function is on.
To switch the function off, simply turn
the temperature knob anticlockwise
and set the required temperature.
Air distribution buttons
(B)
By pressing these buttons, it is possible
to set one of the seven possible air
distributions manually:
Air flow to the windscreen and front
side window vents to demist or defrost
them.
Air flow to the central and side
dashboard vents to ventilate chest and
face during the hot season.Air flow to the front and rear footwell
vents. Thanks to the natural tendency
of hot air to rise, this distribution pattern
allows the passenger compartment to
warm up as quickly as possible,
providing an immediate feeling of
warmth.
Air flow distributed between
footwell vents (hotter air) and central
and side dashboard vents (cooler air).
This distribution mode is particularly
useful in spring and autumn on sunny
days.Air flow distributed between the
footwell vents and the windscreen
and front side window defrosting/
demisting vents. This allows an
adequate warming of the passenger
compartment and prevents the
windows from misting up.Air flow distribution split between
the windscreen and front side windows
defrosting/demisting vents and the
central and side dashboard vents as
well as the footwell vents. This
distribution makes it possible to
maintain good levels of comfort and
keep the passenger compartment
sufficiently cool (summer).
35

Air flow distributed between
windscreen and front side window
defroster/demister and central and side
dashboard vents. This distribution
allows good air diffusion and maintains
a good level of comfort both in summer
and winter.
The distribution set is shown by the
corresponding LEDs on the selected
buttons coming on.
To restore automatic control of the air
distribution after a manual selection,
press the AUTO button.
Fan speed adjustment
buttons (H)
Press the H button to increase or to
decrease the fan speed and therefore
the amount of air sent into the
passenger compartment, though the
required temperature remains set.
The fan speed is shown by the lit bars
on the display:
❒Maximum fan speed = all the bars lit
up;
❒Minimum fan speed = one bar lit up.
The fan can only be excluded if the
climate control system compressor has
been switched off by pressing the F
button.IMPORTANT To restore automatic
control of the fan speed after a manual
adjustment, press the AUTO button.
IMPORTANT At high vehicle speeds,
the dynamic effect may increase the
flow of air into the passenger
compartment which in this case will not
directly correspond to the fan speed
bar display.
AUTO button (A)
(automatic operation)
Press AUTO to make the system
automatically adjust the quantity and
distribution of the air introduced into the
passenger compartment. All previous
manual settings will be cancelled.
The message FULL AUTO will appear
on the front display in this condition.
By manually adjusting at least one
of the functions automatically managed
by the system (air recirculation, air
distribution, fan speed or switching off
the compressor), the word FULL will
disappear from the display, indicating
that the system is no longer
automatically controlling all the
functions (the temperature will still be
controlled automatically).IMPORTANT Should the system (after
manual settings) no longer be able
to guarantee the required temperature
set in the passenger compartment,
the set temperature value will start
flashing to indicate the difficulties the
system is experiencing and then the
word AUTO will disappear.
To restore system automatic control at
any time, after one or more manual
adjustments, press the AUTO button.
Air recirculation on/off
button (G)
The air recirculation is managed
according to the following operating
logic:
❒override on (inside air recirculation
always on), indicated by the LED
on button G and the
symbol on
the display;
❒override off (air recirculation
constantly off with air intake from the
outside), signalled by the LED in
the button switching off and by the
symbol in the display
disappearing.
These operating conditions are
obtained by pressing air recirculation
button G in sequence.

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

IMPORTANT The engagement of the air
recirculation system makes it possible
to reach the required heating or cooling
conditions faster.
It is however inadvisable to use it on
rainy/cold days as it would considerably
increase the possibility of the windows
misting inside, especially if the climate
control compressor is off.
To prevent the windows from misting
up, the recirculation is forced off (i.e. air
is drawn in from the outside) when
the outside temperature is cold.
It is advisable not to use the air
recirculation function when the outside
temperature is low to prevent the
windows from rapidly misting up.
Climate control
compressor
enablement/off button
(F)
Press button
to switch the climate
control compressor off (if on). The icon
on the display will go out.
Press the button when the LED is off to
restore automatic system control of
compressor activation. The icon will
light up on the display.The system will switch recirculation off
when the compressor is switched off to
prevent windows from misting up.
Although the system is capable
of maintaining the required
temperature, the word FULL will
disappear from the display. If, on the
other hand, it is no longer capable
of maintaining the temperature, the
letters flash and the word AUTO goes
out.
IMPORTANT With the compressor off, it
is not possible to introduce air cooler
than ambient temperature into the
passenger compartment. Furthermore,
in certain conditions, the windows
could mist up rapidly because the air is
not dehumidified.
The system remembers that the
compressor has been switched off,
even after the engine has stopped.
To restore automatic compressor
control, press the
button again (in
this case, the system will only work as a
heater) or press the AUTO button.
With the compressor switched off, if the
outside temperature is higher than the
one set, the system is not capable
of satisfying this request. This is
signalled by the target temperature
flashing, after which the word AUTO
goes out.With the climate control compressor
off, the fan speed can be set to zero
manually (no bar shown).
With the compressor enabled and the
engine started, the fan speed may
be reduced to the minimum setting
(only one bar shown).
Button for rapid window
demisting/defrosting (D)
Press this button and the climate
control system will automatically switch
on all the functions required for fast
windscreen and side window
demisting/defrosting:
❒switches on climate control
compressor when climatic conditions
are suitable;
❒switches air recirculation off;
❒maximum air temperature HI in both
areas;
❒sets the fan speed according to the
engine coolant temperature to limit
the flow of air that is not sufficiently
warm to demist the windows;
❒directs air flow to windscreen and
front side windows vents;
❒heated rear window on.
