previously) exist.
Rear Window Wiper/Washer
The rear wiper/washer controls are located on the lever
on the right side of the steering column. The rear
wiper/washer is operated by rotating a switch, located at
the middle of the lever.Rotate the center portion of the lever upward to
the first detent for intermittent operation and to
the second detent for continuous rear wiper operation.
To use the washer, push the lever forward and
hold while spray is desired. If the lever is
pushed while in the intermittent setting, the
wiper will turn on and operate for several wipe cycles after the end of the lever is released, and then
resume the intermittent interval previously selected.
If the lever is pushed while the wiper is in the off
position, the wiper will operate for several wipe cycles,
then turn off.
NOTE:
As a protective measure, the pump will stop if
the switch is held for more than 30 seconds. Once the
lever is released, the pump will resume normal opera-
tion.
If the rear wiper is operating when the ignition is turned
to the STOP/OFF position, the wiper will automatically
return to the “park” position.

NOTE: The Climate Control system detects the passenger
compartment temperature using a temperature sensor,
located in the lower instrument panel between the center
console and the steering wheel.
Turning On The Climate Control System
The Climate Control system can be turned on in different
ways: it is recommended to turn the Temperature Control
knobs to set the desired temperatures and then push the
AUTO button.
The system operates automatically to adjust the tempera-
ture, quantity and distribution of the air introduced into
the passenger compartment. It also manages the air
recirculation function and the activation of the air condi-
tioning compressor. During automatic operation, you can change the set
temperatures, air distribution and blower speed at any
time by using the relevant buttons or knobs: the system
will automatically change the settings to adjust to the
new requirements.
During automatic operation (AUTO), varying the air
flow and/or distribution or pushing the A/C control
button causes the AUTO function LED to turn off and the
system to operate in MANUAL mode.
Adjusting The Air Temperature
Rotate the Driver Temperature Control, or the Passenger
Temperature Control, dial clockwise or counter-
clockwise, to adjust the air temperature in the front left
(Driver Temperature Control) or right (Passenger Tem-
perature Control) zone of the passenger compartment.
The set temperatures are shown on the displays.
