the air outlets, use the MTC+ System
(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.

Recirculation and Air Quality
Sensor (AQS)
When outside air contains smoke,
odours, or high humidity, or if rapid
cooling is desired, you may wish to
recirculate interior air by pressing the
recirculation control button or the
relevant soft-key to activate the two
different functionalities.
The recirculation function, that allows
to open/close the A/C air inlet by
operating the
button on the
climate control panel or the MTC+
soft-key, is integrated with the Air
Quality Sensor.
This sensor, positioned upstream of
the A/C filter, in front of the air intake
of the A/C system, detects the
presence of polluting substances and
submits an electric signal to the A/C
control unit, that closes the intake of
the external air by activating the air
recirculation.
The
button or the MTC+ soft-key
can therefore enable three operating
modes, switchable in sequence.
Starting from the outside air condition
with LED on the button off and MTC+
soft-key not highlighted, in which the
external air is aspirated by the A/C
system and treated to be introduced
into the passenger compartment,
subsequent actuations of the button or the MTC+ soft-key
change the state as follows.
• First press: the A/C system activates
the automatic recirculation control
by using the signal transmitted from
the AQS. The symbol ‘’A’’ on the
button and the MTC+ soft-key
lights up.
• Second press: the A/C system
activates the recirculation, the LED
on the
button or the MTC+
soft-key lights up. The A/C system
will stay this way up to a new
actuation, or until the increased
humidity could lead to windshield
fogging: in this case the recirculation
automatically switches to external
air.
• Third press: the A/C system switches
back to external air (default
operating mode).
The next press of the
button or
the MTC+ soft-key restars the
operating cycle just described.
NOTE:
To avoid the risk of fogging, the AQS
is disabled when the external
temperature falls below 35°F (2°C). NOTE:
In cold weather, use of recirculation
mode may lead to window fogging.
Select the MIX mode
and increase
the blower speed to prevent fogging.

Normal Starting of the
Engine WARNING!
It is dangerous to run the engine in an
enclosed area. The engine consumes
oxygen and discharges carbon
dioxide, carbon monoxide and other
toxic gases in the atmosphere.
WARNING!

a passenger vehicle or off-road vehicle
can expose you to chemicals including
such as, engine exhaust, carbon
monoxide, phthalates and lead, that
which are known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. To
minimize exposure, avoid breathing
exhaust, do not idle the engine except
as necessary, service your vehicle in a
