KNOWING YOUR CAR
In-depth knowledge of your new vehicle
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.THE KEYS....................................... 14

MIRRORS
INTERIOR MIRROR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The mirror is fitted with a safety device
that causes its release in the event of
a violent impact with the passenger.
Lever A fig. 53 can be used to move
the mirror to two different positions:
normal or antiglare.
Some versions may feature an internal
child surveillance mirror B fig. 54.
DOOR MIRRORS
Manual mirror folding
When required (for example when the
shape causes difficulty in narrow
spaces), it is possible to fold the mirrors
by moving them from position A fig.
55 to position B.
26)
Manual adjustment
From inside, use device A fig. 56.
Electric adjustment
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Door mirrors can be adjusted only if the
ignition key is in MAR position.
Proceed as follows:
select the required mirror with switch
A fig. 57 (right or left);
move switch A to position B and
manipulate it to adjust the left door
mirror;
turn switch A to position D and
manipulate it to adjust the right door
mirror.
Once you have finished the adjustment,
return switch A to intermediate locking
position C.
Electric folding
Door mirrors can be folded only if the
ignition key is in MAR position.
Bring switch A fig. 57 to position E to
fold the mirrors in the closed position.
Bring switch A to position C to move
the mirrors back to the driving position.

INTRODUCTION
The automatic climate control system
adjusts the temperature, the quantity
and the distribution of the air in the
passenger compartment. The
temperature control is based on the
"equivalent temperature": in other
words, the system continuously works
to keep the comfort level inside the
vehicle constant and to compensate for
possible variations in outside
conditions, including the sun's rays
detected by a dedicated sensor. The
automatically controlled parameters
and functions are:
air temperature at the vents;
air distribution at the vents;
fan speed (continuous variation of
the air flow);
compressor activation (for
cooling/dehumidifying the air);
air recirculation.
All functions may be changed manually.
In other words, you may select one or
more functions and change the
parameters as required. Automatic
control of the manually changed
functions will be suspended: the
system will override your settings only
for safety-related reasons (e.g. risk
of misting).Manual selections will always take
priority over automatic settings and will
be stored until the user switches the
system back to automatic operation by
pressing the AUTO button again except
for the cases in which the system will
intervene for particular, safety-related
reasons. You can adjust one function
manually without affecting the
automatic control of the others.
The temperature of the air sent is
always controlled automatically,
depending on the temperature set in
the display (except when the system is
off or in certain conditions when the
compressor is switched off).
The system allows the following
parameters and functions to be set or
altered manually: air temperature,
fan speed (continuous variation); air
distribution in seven positions;
compressor enablement; fast
defrosting/demisting function; air
recirculation; switching off the system.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
introduced into the passenger
compartment and will manage the
recirculation function and the
compressor engagement. 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.
