Analog Clock To adjust the analog clock located on
the center of the dashboard between
the air outlets, use the MTC+ System
(see “MTC+ Settings” in this section).
The time can be displayed also on the
MTC+ main menu bar and on the
instrument cluster display (see “MTC+
Settings” in this section).
Clock lighting works in the same way
as instrument and controls
backlighting (refer to “Lights” in
section “Understanding the Vehicle”). Air Conditioning Controls The vehicle is equipped with an
automatic dual-zone air conditioning
system that allows to adjust separately
the temperature and the airflow
distribution in the left and in the right
zone of the passenger compartment,
according to the requests of the driver
and the front passenger.
A humidity sensor, positioned on the
inner surface of the windshield, over
the rear view mirror, allows the A/C
system to prevent/eliminate fogging of
the windshield and side windows.
The best efficacy in preventing
fogging is obtained by selecting the
“AUTO” function, described later.
A dual zone solar sensor helps to
achieve the best comfort in presence
of solar radiation.
Upon request, the vehicle can be
equipped with an additional
automatic dual-zone air conditioning
system installed in the central console,
between the front seats. The
additional dual-zone module, can be
operated by the rear passengers (see
“Four-zone Climate Control
(optional)” in this chapter), by means
of the control panel at the end of
central console, but also by the front passengers using the soft-keys on
MTC+ display.
Dual Zone Climate Controls This system can be operated by using
the controls of the climate control
panel on the dashboard, or the
soft-keys on the MTC+ display when
“Climate” mode is selected.
In the "Climate" screen of the MTC+,
the front seats comfort setting
soft-keys may be present (optional
equipments). The “OFF” state of the
front seats comfort setting is shown on
their soft-key.
Front seats and steering wheel comfort
setting soft-keys are present even
when the A/C is off (see "Front Seats"
and/or "Steering Wheel Adjustment"
in section "Understanding the Vehicle"
for further details).Dashboard Instruments and Controls

climate.
11. Return to the front climate
control screen.
Operating Tips • Continuous use of the air
recirculation in winter, in rainy
weather or humid climate is not
recommended because it may cause
window fogging. • Interior fogging on the windshield
can be quickly removed by fast
defrosting/defogging. The “Mix”
mode can be used to maintain a
clear windshield and provide
sufficient heating. If side window
fogging becomes a problem increase
blower speed.
NOTE:
• Recirculation mode without A/C
should not be used for long periods
of time, as fogging may occur.
• If inside the passenger compartment
there are conditions of high
temperature and humidity, when the
A/C compressor is switched on (A/C
softkey illuminated on MTC+ display
or LED on climate control panel A/C
button ON) there may be some cold
steam at ventilation port outlet: this
situation is normal and does not
indicate air conditioning system
malfunction.
• Automatic Temperature Controls
(ATC) will automatically adjust the
climate control settings to reduce or
eliminate window fogging on the
front windshield.
• Make sure the external air intake
grille, located directly in front of the
windshield, is free of obstructions such as leaves or other objects.
Leaves collected in the air intake
may reduce airflow, and if they enter
the plenum, they could plug the
water drains. In winter make sure
the air intake is clear of ice, slush,
and snow.
• The temperature can be displayed in
Metric or U.S. units by selecting the
“Units” customer programmable
feature. See “MTC+ Settings” in this
section.
• Any time you store your vehicle or
keep it stationary (i.e., during
vacation) for two weeks or more,
run the air conditioning system at
idle for about five minutes in the
fresh air by high blower setting. This
will ensure adequate system
lubrication and minimize the
possibility of compressor damage
when the system is started again.
A/C Filter The climate control system filters
outside air containing dust, pollen and
some odors. Strong odors cannot be
totally removed by A/C filter at the
entrance of the air climate system. See
“Maintenance Procedures” in section
“Maintenance and Care” for filter
replacement instructions.Dashboard Instruments and Controls

gearshift behaviour could become
perfect as expected after few
hundreds of km.
CAUTION!
In order to properly use the automatic
transmission, it is essential that you
read through the whole chapter, so
that you can understand right from
the start what the correct and granted
operations are.
Damage to the transmission may occur
if the following precautions are not
observed:
• Shift into P (Park) only after the
vehicle has come to a complete stop:
this is the default position of the
lever. After engaged P (Park) it is
possible set the ignition switch to
OFF .
• Shift into or out of R (Reverse) only
after the vehicle has come to a
complete stop and the engine is at
idle speed.
• Do not shift between P (Park), R
(Reverse), N (Neutral) or D (Drive)
when the engine is above idle speed
• To effect any change from vehicle
stop to R (Reverse), D (Drive), 1 st
or 2 nd
gear, it is necessary to keep the
brake pedal fully depressed.
WARNING!
• It is dangerous to move the shift
lever out of P (Park) or N (Neutral) if
the engine speed is higher than idle
speed. Only shift into gear when the
engine is idling normally and when
your foot is firmly pressing on the
brake pedal.
• As with all vehicles, you should
never exit a vehicle while the engine
is running. Before exiting a vehicle,
always apply the electronic parking
brake, shift the transmission into P
(Park), and turn the engine off.
• When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key fob and lock your
vehicle.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near
the vehicle.
This vehicle is equipped with a feature
which
requires the transmission to be
placed in P (Park) before the engine
can be turned off. This prevents the
driver from inadvertently leaving the
vehicle without having placed the
transmission in P (Park). This system
also locks the transmission in P (Park) whenever the ignition switch is in the
OFF position.
Automatic Transmission Lever Automatic transmission is operated by
a shift lever with unlock button,
located on the central console, which
can have the following operating
positions:
• P (Park): button control;
• R (Reverse);
• N (Neutral);
• D (Drive) automatic forward speed;
• M -/+ (Manual): “+” shifting to
higher gear or “–“ shifting to lower
gear in manual mode (see “Drive
Mode” in this section).
Transmission status is visible on the
lever and on the lower part of the
Instrument cluster display.Driving

Shift Lever Movements
Shift lever has two main positions with
a single step selection (backward/
forward): two unstable position ( 2 )
and ( 3 ) and two stable position ( 1 ) and
( 4 ). • Automatic lane (“R”, “N”, “D”) as
main central position.
• Manual lane (“M +/-“) on left
position: move forward for “–“ and
backward for “+”.
• “P” is a button on the top of the
lever.
Shift Lever Backlit
• White backlit for “P”, “R”, “N”, “D”
and “M +/-“: brighter when selected
and dimmer when not selected.
• When P (Park) mode is selected, the
letter “P” becomes brighter and “

The lever functions like a joystick, so
releasing it after giving the command,
it automatically returns to the two
stable positions (vertical in line with
“R”, “N” and “D” or in line with “–”
and “+” when in “M +/-“ mode).
• Normally, to engage R (Reverse)
mode, press the brake pedal and the
unlock button together.
• To pass from P (Park) mode directly
to D (Drive) mode, in addition to
pressing the brake pedal, it is also
necessary to press the unlock button.
• Normally, to pass from R (Reverse)
mode directly to D (Drive) mode and
vice versa, in addition to pressing the
brake pedal, it is necessary to press
the unlock button.
• The P (Park) mode can be
automatically enabled by pressing
the “P” button: if the shift lever was in “M +/-“ position, will go to central
stable position automatically.
• If using the shift lever in M +/-
(Manual) mode, you can activate it
by moving the lever from D (Drive)
to the left and then forward towards
the “-“ symbol or back towards the
“+” symbol and the gear is shifted.
• To exit P (Park) mode, or to pass
from N (Neutral) to D (Drive) or R
(Reverse) position when the car is
stopped or is moving at a low speed,
the brake pedal must also be
pressed.
CAUTION!
• DO NOT accelerate while shifting
from P (Park) or N (Neutral) to
another mode.
• After selecting a transmission mode,
wait a few seconds before
accelerating. This precaution is
particularly important with a cold
engine.
