HEATING AND VENTILATION
Controls
A - Air temperature adjustment knob: blue section = cold air, red section = hot air;
B - air recirculation on/off button: internal air recirculation makes it possible to reach the required heating or cooling conditions
more quickly depending on the mode selected. Do not use the air recirculation function on rainy/cold days as it would
considerably increase the possibility of the windows steaming up;
C - fan activation/adjustment knob (0 = fan off / = fan speed) / 1-2-3-4 = ventilation speed;
D - heated rear window on/off button;
E - air distribution knob:
air from central vents, side vents and central diffuser
air from central vents, side vents, central diffuser and front and rear footwell diffusers
air only from front and rear footwell vents

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

IMPORTANT Two side gas shock
absorbers are provided to assist in
opening the bonnet. Do not tamper
with these shock absorbers and
accompany the bonnet when raising.
IMPORTANT Before raising the bonnet,
make sure that the arms of the wipers
are not raised from the windscreen and
that the wiper is not operational.
CLOSING
32)
Lower the bonnet to approximately 20
centimetres from the engine
compartment then let it drop. Make
sure that the bonnet is completely
closed and not only fastened by the
locking device by trying to open it.
If it is not perfectly closed, do not try to
press the bonnet lid down but open it
and repeat the procedure.
WARNING
32)For safety reasons, the bonnet must
always be properly closed while driving.
Therefore, make sure that the bonnet
is properly closed and that the lock
is engaged. If you discover during travel
that the lock is not fully engaged, stop
immediately and close the bonnet in the
correct manner.
DUALDRIVE
ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING
This only operates with the key turned
to MAR and the engine started. The
electric steering allows the force
required at the steering wheel to be
adjusted to suit driving conditions.
IMPORTANT When turning the ignition
key quickly, full power steering
functionality can be achieved after a
few seconds.
IMPORTANT During parking
manoeuvres requiring a lot of steering,
the steering may become harder; this is
normal and is due to the intervention
of the system to protect the electric
steering motor from overheating. No
repair intervention is needed in this
case. When the vehicle is used again,
the power steering will work normally
again.
