D - climate control system compressor activation/deactivation button (not available for versions with heater only);
E - air distribution knob:
air flow from central and side vents
air flow from central vents, side vents and front / rear footwell vents
air outlet from the front and rear footwell diffusers and a light air flow also from the side vents on the dashboard
air outlet from the front and rear footwell diffusers, to the windscreen, the side windows and a light air flow also at the side
vents on the dashboard
air outlet to the windscreen, the side windows and a light air flow also at the side vents on the dashboard
4 further intermediate positions are also possible in the 5 main distributions described above.
F - Heated rear window on/off button;
Selecting the windscreen air distribution activates the climate control system compressor (LED on A/C button on) and the air
recirculation is set to "outside air" (LED on button B off). This logic guarantees optimum visibility at the windows. The driver can
always set air recirculation and climate control system compressor.
Additional heater(where provided)
The additional heater ensures more rapid passenger compartment heating.
It activates in cold weather conditions, if the following conditions are verified:
outside temperature low;
engine coolant temperature low;
engine started;
fan speed set at least to 1stspeed;
knob C turned completely clockwise to red section.
The heater is switched off when at least one of the conditions above is no longer verified.
NOTE The power of the electric heater is modulated according to the battery voltage.

N - AUTO function activation button (automatic operation).
Air distribution selection
Air flow to the windscreen and front side window diffusers to demist/defrost them.
Air flow at central and side dashboard vents to ventilate the chest and the face during the hot season.
Air flow to the front and rear footwell diffusers. This air distribution setting heats the passenger compartment most quickly,
giving a prompt sensation of warmth.
+Air flow distributed between footwell diffusers (hotter air) and central and side dashboard vents (cooler air). This
distribution setting is useful in spring and autumn on sunny days.
+Air flow distributed between footwell vents and windscreen and front side vents. This distribution setting allows the
passenger compartment to be warmed up efficiently and prevents the windows from misting up.
+Air flow distributed between central and side dashboard vents and windscreen and front side window vents. This
distribution allows air to be sent to the windscreen in conditions of strong sunlight.
++Air flow distribution to all diffusers on the vehicle.
In AUTO mode, the climate control system automatically manages air distribution (the LEDs on buttons H are off). When set
manually, the air distribution is indicated by the LEDs on the selected buttons switching on. In combined function mode the
relevant function is enabled simultaneously with those already set by pressing the corresponding button. If a button whose
function is already active is pressed, its operation is cancelled and the corresponding LED switches off. To restore automatic
control of the air distribution after a manual selection, press the AUTO button.
Start&Stop
The automatic dual zone climate control system manages the Start&Stop system (engine off when vehicle speed is 0 km/h) to
ensure adequate comfort inside the vehicle. When the Start&Stop system is on (engine off and vehicle at a standstill), the
automatic recirculation management is turned off always taking air in from outside, to reduce the probability of the windows
misting up (as the compressor is off).
IMPORTANT
2)The system uses R134a coolant, which does not pollute the environment in the event of accidental leakage. Under no circumstances use
R1234yf and R12 fluids, which are incompatible with the components of the system.

BOOT INITIALISATION
IMPORTANT If the battery is
disconnected or the protection fuse
blows, the boot opening/closing
mechanism must be reinitialised as

LOAD COMPARTMENT
FEATURES
Reconfigurable load platform
12)
The car is equipped with a
reconfigurable load platform A, which
makes the boot volume modular:
The load platform can be set to
2 different positions:
Floor level (low) fig. 49: allows use
of the full luggage compartment
capacity.
Sill level (high) fig. 50: combined
with folding the rear seats and front
passenger seat, it allows long items to
be loaded and also makes
loading/unloading items in the luggage
compartment easier. It also allows the
space underneath (double bottom) to
be used as a further compartment for
stowing objects which are more fragile
or small. The load platform can also be tilted,
and is equipped with a washable plastic
surface, useful for instance for
transporting wet or muddy items.
IMPORTANT Movements of the load
platform must take place in a central
position relative to the luggage
compartment.
Anchoring your load
Four hooks may be arranged in the
corners of the boot, according to the
versions, at the corners of the boot (two
at the front A fig. 51 and two at the rear
B ) for attaching cables for firmly
securing the carried load.
EMERGENCY KIT(where provided)
Inside the kit, located in the luggage
compartment, are a fire extinguisher
and a first-aid bag.
WARNING
27)
Be careful not to hit objects on the
storage shelf when you open the tailgate.

GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
Before replacing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
replace blown bulbs with others of
the same type and power;
after replacing a headlight bulb,
always check its alignment;
when a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before replacing the bulb. For the
location of fuses, refer to the paragraph
“Replacing fuses” in this chapter.
IMPORTANT When the weather is cold
or damp or after heavy rain or washing,
the surface of headlights or rear lights
may steam up and/or form drops of
condensation on the inside. This is a
natural phenomenon due to the
difference in temperature and humidity
between the inside and the outside of
the glass which does not indicate a
fault and does not compromise the
normal operation of lighting devices.
The mist disappears quickly when the
lights are turned on, starting from the
centre of the diffuser, extending
progressively towards the edges.

Fuses protect the electrical system:
they intervene (blow) in the event of a
failure or improper action on the
system.
Fuse extracting pliers
To replace a fuse, use the pliers hooked
to the side of the engine compartment
fuse box cover (see fig. 127 ).
The pliers have two different ends,
specifically designed to remove the
different types of fuses present in the
vehicle.
To take out the pliers, grab them from
the upper tabs, press and pull upwards.
After being used, the pliers should be
positioned properly in their housing,
grabbing them from the upper tabs,
pressing and pushing them until a click
is heard.
FUSE LOCATION
Fuses are grouped together in the fuse
boxes located in the engine
compartment, under the dashboard
and inside the boot.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
