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

DEMISTING/DEFROSTING
Proceed as follows:
press the button
turn knob A fully to the right;
turn knob B to;
turn knob C to;
to turn off internal air recirculation
(button E LED off).
After demisting/defrosting, operate the
controls to maintain optimum visibility
conditions.Window demisting
In the event of considerable external
moisture and/or rain and/or large
differences in temperature inside and
outside the passenger compartment,
perform the following preventive
window demisting procedure:
press the button
to turn off internal air recirculation
(button E LED off);
turn knob A to the red section;
turn knob B to the second speed
level;
turn knob C toor to; switch
off air recirculation if the windows
start misting up (LED on button E off).
The climate control system is very
useful for demisting the windows more
quickly: just carry out the above
procedure and activate the system by
pressing button
.
HEATED REAR WINDOW
AND DOOR MIRRORS
DEMISTING/DEFROSTING
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Press button F
to activate this
function: when the function is on, the
LED on button F
will light up.
This function is timed and will turn off
automatically after 20 minutes. Press
the F
button again to turn the
function off in advance.IMPORTANT Do not apply stickers on
the inside of the rear window over
the heating filaments to avoid damage.

INTERNAL AIR
RECIRCULATION
ACTIVATION
Press button E: when the function is
on, the button LED lights up.
It is advisable to switch the internal air
recirculation on while standing in
queues or in tunnels to prevent the
introduction of polluted air. Do not use
the function for a long time, particularly
if there are many passengers on board,
to prevent the windows from misting
up.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE
Air flow distributed between
footwell diffusers (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.
The distribution set is shown by the
corresponding LEDs in the selected
buttons coming on.
To restore automatic control of the air
distribution after a manual selection,
press the AUTO button.
Fan speed adjusting buttons (H)
Press the H button at its ends to
increase or to decrease the fan speed
and therefore the amount of air sent
into the passenger compartment,
though the required temperature
remains set.
The fan speed is shown by the lit bars
on the display:
Maximum fan speed = all the bars lit
up
Minimum fan speed = one bar lit up.
The fan can only be excluded if the
climate control compressor has been
switched off by pressing button F
fig. 76.
WARNING To restore automatic fan
speed control after a manual
adjustment, press the AUTO button.
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 appears on
the front display.
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:
forced activation (inside air
recirculation always on): indicated by
the LED on button G and the
symbol on the display;
forced disengagement (air
recirculation permanently off with air
intake from the outside), signalled
by the LED in the button and the
symbol
on the display going off.
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.

The electric windows are fitted with a
security system (where provided) that
can detect the presence of an obstacle
whilst the window is closing; when
this happens, the system kicks in and
the movement of the glass is
immediately reversed.
IMPORTANT In the event that the
anti-crushing function is activated 5
times in only 1 minute, the system will
automatically enter the "recovery" mode
(self-protection). This condition is
apparent from the window closing in
stages.
If this occurs, restore the system as
follows:
open the windows.
If no malfunction is present, the window
returns to its normal operation
automatically.
IMPORTANT With the ignition key at
STOP or removed, the electric windows
remain activated for about two minutes
and are deactivated as soon as a
door is opened.
