❒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
anticlockwise 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
exploiting the system potential to
the maximum. In this condition, 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.

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
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 intervention) no longer
be able to guarantee the target
temperature for the passenger
compartment, the set temperature
value will start flashing to indicate
the difficulties the system is
experiencing and then the word
AUTO will go out.
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.
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.

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
When this function is active, the LED
on the corresponding button and
the one on the heated rear window
button switch on. The message
FULL AUTO goes off on the display.
You can only adjust the fan speed
and switch off the heated rear
window manually when this function
is active.
To restore the previous operating
conditions, simply press button B,
air recirculation button G,
compressor button F or AUTO
button A.
Heated rear window

electric control
demisting/defrosting
button (L)
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
Push this button to activate the
demisting/defrosting of the heated
rear window and electric door
mirrors
When this function is active, the
button LED is on.This function switches off
automatically after about 20 minutes
or when you push the button again,
or when the engine is turned off. It
will not be switched on automatically
when the engine is restarted.
IMPORTANT Do not affix decals to
the inside of the heated rear window
over the heating filaments, to avoid
damage that might cause them
to stop working properly.
Switching the system
OFF (E)
Press button E to switch the climate
control system off. The display will
go out.
With the system off, the climate
control system conditions are as
follows: display off, temperature
setting not display, air recirculation
on thereby insulating the passenger
compartment from the outside
(recirculation LED on), climate
control compressor off, fan off.
Press the AUTO button to switch
the climate control system back on
in full automatic mode.ELECTRIC WINDOWS

CARRYING
CHILDREN SAFELY
For optimal protection in the event
of an impact, all passengers must
be seated and wearing adequate
restraint systems.
This is even more important for
children.
This prescription is compulsory in all
EU countries according to EC
Directive 2003/20/EC.
Compared with an adult, a child's
head is larger and heavier in
proportion to their body and the
child's muscular and bone
structures are not fully developed.
Therefore, correct restraint systems
other than adult seat belts are
necessary to reduce as much as
possible the risk of injuries in the
event of an accident, braking or a
sudden manoeuvre.
Children must be seated safely and
comfortably.As far as the characteristics of the
child restraint systems used allow,
you are advised to keep children
in rearward facing child restraint
systems for as long as possible,
since this is the most protected
position in the event of an impact.
Several child restraint system types
are available; always choose the one
most suitable for the child.
When over 1.50 m in height, from
the point of view of restraint
systems, children are considered as
adults and wear seat belts normally.
In Europe child restraint systems
are classified, among other criteria,
into five weight groups:
Group Weight range
Group0 upto10kg
Group 0+ up to 13 kg
Group 1 9 - 18 kg
Group 2 15 - 25 kg
Group 3 22 - 36 kg
