NOTE:
The Bi-Level mode is designed to
provide comfort by sending cooler air
out of the central console vents and
warmer air from the floor vents.
7. “Floor” mode
Air comes from the fixed floor vents
under the front seats and on the
lateral sides of the central console.
8. “Torso” mode
Air comes from the adjustable vents on
the central console. Each of these
vents can be singly adjusted. The air
grids of the vents can be moved
up/down and right/left to adjust the
airflow direction. A setting wheel,
placed near each vent, allows to
regulate the airflow or to close the
vent.
9. AUTO
This function automatically controls
the interior temperature by adjusting
the air flow rate and the air
distribution.
• Press the “AUTO” button: the
automatic rear climate control
switches from manual to automatic
mode and vice-versa. The “AUTO”
symbol on the button illuminates
when this function is activated. • Adjust then the temperature you
wish to maintain by regulating the
left and/or right side temperature
control buttons. Once the desired
temperature is set, the system will
achieve and automatically maintain
that comfort level.
• When the system is set up for your
comfort level, it is not necessary to
change the settings anymore: simply
allow the system to function
automatically.
To provide you with maximum comfort
in the Automatic mode, during cold
start-ups the blower speed will remain
low until the engine warms up.
Four-Zone Climate Control by the
Driver
By operating the MTC+ display
controls the driver can adjust the
settings of the rear climate zones by
touching “REAR” sof-key. Once you have entered the rear
climate screen, by touching the
following soft-keys, the driver is able
to:
1. The A/C compressor shell turn on.
2. The system controls the interior
temperature (controls 3, 4) by
adjusting the air flow rate and
the air distribution (controls 5) of
the rear passengers.
3. Adjust the temperature in the
left rear zone.
4. Adjust the temperature in the
right rear zone.
5. Set the airflow distribution mode.
6. Synchronise the two rear
passenger temperature setting. If
the driver adjust the temperature
while SYNC mode is on, this will
affect the rear passenger
temperature. If the front or rear
passengers adjust the
temperature setting the system
automatically break the function
and turn it off.
7. Set the blower speed through
seven speed levels.
8. Re-activate the rear climate
setting.
9. Turn off the rear climate option.Dashboard Instruments and Controls

10. Block the settings of the rear
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

To Reconnect the Battery CAUTION!
• It is essential when replacing the
cables on the battery that the
positive cable is attached to the
positive post (+) and the negative
cable is attached to the negative
post (–).
• Cable clamps should be tight on the
terminal posts and free of corrosion.
After the battery has been
disconnected
and re-connected and
before starting the engine it is
necessary to proceed as follows:
• Unlock and lock the doors using one
more time the Key fob RKE
Transmitter.
• Close manually the liftgate unlock it
lid with the key fob RKE transmitter
and then lock it manually on more time. If the vehicle is equipped with
power liftgate, manually perform
the complete closure. Then move the
lid automatically, using the buttons
on the outer edge of the left trunk,
performing a complete cycle of
opening and closing.
• Initialize the climate control system
by activating the system and
pressing the “AUTO” control as
described in chapter “Air
Conditioning Controls” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”.
• Turn on the MTC+ and set the date
and time (see “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
• Lift, release and lift again the lever
on the central console to initialize
the electric parking brake. Following
this operation the
warning light
on the instrument cluster will turn
off.
• For correct activation of the
approach lights on the external
mirrors, press at least once the tilt
button on the driver's door panel so
that the door mode recognizes the
mirrors position.
• If the car is equipped with power
sunshades on rear door windows, carry out the teach mode cycle
described on chapter “Power
Sunshades on Rear Door Windows”
in section “Before Starting”.
CAUTION!
• Every time the battery is
reconnected, wait at least 30 seconds
with the ignition switch turned to
RUN before starting the engine, in
order to allow the electronic system
that manages the motor-driven
throttles to run a self-learning cycle.
At the same time, you can run the
date and time set up procedure for
the MTC+.
• Every time the battery is
reconnected the warning light
flash for about 10 seconds and then
go off.
