Backrest angle
adjustment
Adjust lever A fig. 18.

It will also be possible to remove it,
working on the seat where the
clips are free in relation to the
openings in the rails; in this position
(which can easily be achieved by
sliding the base a little and
simultaneously extracting it) the
seat can easily be removed fig. 33.After the sliding and removal
operations, the seat should be
refitted and secured to the rails on
the floor before driving, as follows:
❒fit the base on the rails;
❒push the retaining lever downwards
fig. 34, applying suitable force, until
the system is locked.
IMPORTANT The locking system is
only secured when the safety clip
under the lever locks it horizontally.
If this does not happen, check
that the seat is in the exact locking
position in relation to the rail
(moving the seat backwards or
forwards a few millimetres until it is
properly attached). Once the
quick-release base is locked in
position, it will be as in the first
stage, in other words with the
retaining lever perfectly parallel to
the floor guaranteeing that the seat
is securely fastened in the selected
position.
The seat can be turned 180º
toward the seat on the opposite
side. To turn it, see the "Seat with
revolving base" paragraph.

IMPORTANT
2) The fabric upholstery of your
vehicle is designed to withstand
the normal wear and tear of your
vehicle for a long time. You are
however recommended to avoid
strong and/or continuous
scratching with clothing
accessories such as metal
buckles, studs, Velcro fastenings
and the like, as these items cause
stress of the cover fabric that
could lead to yarn breaking and
damage the upholstery.

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.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.
37

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).
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.

ADDITIONAL
HEATER
