air flow from the front and rear footwell vents and a light air flow also from the side vents on the dashboard
air flow from the front and rear footwell vents, to the windscreen, the side windows and a light air flow also at the side vents on
the dashboard
air flow 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 and, where provided, door mirror electric heating. For some versions, press the
button to
activate demisting/defrosting of door mirrors and of heated windscreen wiper blades area.

IMPORTANT Do not apply stickers to the inside of the heated rear window over the heating filaments, to avoid damage that
might cause them to stop working properly.
IMPORTANT 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 misting inside.

Additional heater(where provided)
The additional heater ensures more rapid
passenger compartment heating.
It activates in cold weather conditions, if
the following conditions occur:
outside temperature low;engine coolant temperature low;engine on;fan speed set at least to first speed;air temperature knob 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.

Operation
The automatic dual zone climate control
system regulates the air temperatures in
the passenger compartment in two zones:
driver side and passenger side.
The system maintains comfort inside the
passenger compartment and
compensates for possible variations in
outside weather conditions.
The automatically controlled parameters
and functions are:
air temperature at the driver/front
passenger side vents;
air distribution at the driver/front
passenger side vents;
fan speed (continuous variation of the
air flow);
compressor engagement (for
cooling/dehumidifying the air);
air recirculation.
All these functions can be adjusted
manually by operating the system and
selecting one or more functions and
modifying their parameters.
The temperature of the air sent is always
automatically controlled according to the
temperature set on the display (exceptfor when the system is off or in certain
conditions when the compressor is not
running).
Notes
Do not apply stickers to the inside of the
heated rear window over the heating
filaments, to avoid damage that might
cause them to stop working properly.
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
misting inside.
The dual zone automatic climate control
manages the Stop&Start system (engine
off and car at a standstill) in order to
guarantee sufficient comfort inside the
car.
With Stop&Start function on (engine off
and car stopped), the flow is reduced as
much as possible, to keep the
compartment comfort conditions for
longer.

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.
ELECTRIC WINDOWS
ELECTRIC WINDOWS
22)
They operate with the ignition device at
MAR and for nearly 3 minutes after the
ignition device switches to STOP (or also
after the mechanical key has been
extracted, for vehicles equipped with
mechanical key with remote control).
When one of the front doors is opened
this operation is disabled.
Driver side front door controls
The buttons are located on the trims of
the left side door panels (left hand drive
versions) or of the right side door panels
(right hand drive versions). All windows
can be controlled from the driver side
door panel fig. 39.
A: front left window opening/closing.
"Continuous automatic" operation during
window opening/closing stage and
anti-pinch system activated.
B: right front window opening/closing.
"Continuous automatic" operation during
window opening/closing stage and
anti-pinch system activated.
C: enabling/disabling of rear door
electric window controls;
D: left rear window opening/closing (if
present). "Automatic continuous"
operation during window opening/closing,
manual electric operation during window
closing;
E: right rear window opening/closing
(if present). "Automatic continuous"
operation during window opening/closing,

manual electric operation during window
closing.
Window opening
Push the buttons to open the desired
window.
When any of the opening buttons on front
or rear doors is pressed briefly, the
window moves in stages; if the button is
held down, "continuous automatic"
operation is activated.
If the button is pressed again, the
window will stop in the desired position.
Window closing
Lift the buttons to close the desired
window.
The window closing stage occurs
following the same logic described for
the opening stage, for the front door
windows only.
The rear door windows can only be closed
"in stages".
Front window anti-pinch safety device
(where provided)
This safety system can recognise the
presence of any obstacle during the
window closing movement. If this occurs,
the system stops the window's movement
and reverts it by a few centimetres,
depending on its position.
The anti-crush safety function isactivated both during the manual and the
automatic operation of the window.
Electric window system initialisation
If power supply is interrupted, the
electric window automatic operation
must be reinitialised.
The initialisation procedure described
below must be carried out with the doors
closed and for each door:
fully close the window to be
initialised, with manual operation;
after the window has reached the
upper end of travel, hold the up button
down for at least 3 seconds.
WARNING
22)Incorrect use of the electric windows
may be dangerous. Before and during their
operation, ensure that any passengers are
not at risk from the moving glass either by
personal objects getting caught in the
mechanism or by being hit by it directly.
When leaving the vehicle (equipped with
mechanical key with remote control),
always remove the key from the ignition
device to prevent accidental operation of
the electric windows from being a hazard
for those still on board.
ELECTRIC SUN ROOF
23)11)
The electric sun roof comprises two glass
panels (the front one is mobile and the
rear one fixed) and is fitted with an
electrically operated sun blind.
On some versions, the front panel might
be electrically operated.
The sun roof and the blind can be
operated only with the ignition device
turned to MAR.
CONTROL BUTTONS
Button Afig. 40: press the button on the
front glass panel to open it fully. Pull the
button: the front panel will close fully.
Press button A again during automatic
opening and closing to stop the blind
movement.
