GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
In-depth knowledge of your new car
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
seated comfortably on board, so that
you can see what is described here for
yourself.SYMBOLS ...................................... 10

CLIMATE CONTROL
(cooling)
To cool, proceed as follows:
❒turn knob A to the blue section;
❒press button F to turn internal air
recirculation on (circular LED around
the button on);
❒turn knob E to
;
❒press button B to turn the climate
control system on and turn knob C to
at least 1 (1st speed); for faster
action, turn knob C to 6 (maximum
fan speed).
Adjusting cooling
Proceed as follows:
❒turn knob A to the right to increase
the temperature;
❒press button F to turn internal air
recirculation off (circular LED around
the button off);
❒turn knob C to reduce the fan speed.
PASSENGER
COMPARTMENT HEATING
For rapid heating, proceed as follows:
❒turn knob A to the red section;
❒press button F to turn on the internal
air recirculation system;❒turn knob E to
;
❒turn knob C to 6 (maximum fan
speed).
Then use the controls to maintain the
desired comfort conditions and press
button F to turn internal air recirculation
off (circular LED around the button off)
and prevent misting.
IMPORTANT When the engine is cold, it
takes a few minutes to obtain fast
heating.
AUTOMATIC
DEMISTING/DEFROSTING
(MAX-DEF function)
This function activates automatic
demisting/defrosting of: front windows
(windscreen and side windows), heated
nozzles, heated exterior rear view
mirrors.
To activate the function, turn knob E to
the “Defrosting” symbol identified by
the
symbol.
The manual climate control system will
automatically set itself to the following
configuration:
❒the demisting symbol
will turn
from red to orange (to indicate that
the function has been activated);❒the heated rear window (and all
defrosting devices in the car) will be
turned on. The circular LED around
the
button will light up to indicate
that the function has been activated;
❒the air flow will go to maximum
speed (6th);
❒air circulation will be opened, if it was
closed (the circular LED around the
corresponding button will be off);
❒air mixing will go to “maximum heat”;
❒the additional electric heater (for
versions/markets, where provided)
will be turned on;
❒the compressor will be activated (the
circular LED will switch on to indicate
that the AC function is on).
Window demisting
The climate control system is very
useful in preventing the windows from
misting up in the event of high levels
of humidity.
In the event of considerable outside
moisture and/or rain and/or
considerable differences in temperature
inside and outside the passenger
compartment, proceed as follows to
demist the windows:
❒turn knob A to the red section;
25
ADDITIONAL HEATER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This allows the passenger
compartment to be heated more
quickly in cold weather conditions. The
additional heater turns off automatically
after the required comfort conditions
are achieved.
Automatic dual zone
climate control system
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The additional heater activates
automatically depending on the
environmental conditions and with
engine started.
Manual climate control
system
The additional heater activates
automatically when knob A is turned to
the end of the red section and the fan
is set to at least 1
stspeed.
IMPORTANT The heater only works if
the outside temperature and engine
coolant temperature are low. The heater
will not activate if the battery voltage is
too low.
IMPORTANT
2) The climate control system
detects the passenger
compartment temperature with a
mean radiant temperature sensor
fitted in a cover under the internal
rear view mirror. Obstructing the
field of view of this sensor with
any object could cause the
climate control system to operate
with less than optimal efficiency
.
EXTERNAL LIGHTS
IN BRIEF
The left stalk fig. 31 operates most of
the external lights. The external
lights can only be switched on when
the ignition key is at MAR-ON.
The instrument panel and the
dashboard and central tunnel
controls will light up together with the
external lights.
DAYTIME RUNNING
LIGHTS (DRL)
“Daytime Running Lights”
With the ignition key at MAR-ON and
ring nut A fig. 31 turned to
, the
daytime running lights switch on. The
other lights and interior lighting stay off.
