Adjustable Pedals (if
equipped) The adjustable pedals system is
designed to allow greater range of
pedals positions enabling driver
comfort with regard to the steering
wheel tilt and the seat position.
This feature allows the brake and
accelerator pedals to move toward or
away from the driver’s feet.
The switch is located on the front side
of the driver's seat cushion shield.
Press the switch downward to move
the pedals forward (toward the front
of the vehicle).
Lift the switch upward to move the
pedals rearward (toward the driver).
WARNING!
Do not adjust the pedals position while the vehicle is moving. You could
lose control and have an accident.
Always adjust the pedals position
while the vehicle is parked.
The following messages will be
displayed
if the driver is attempting to
adjust the pedals when the system is
locked out:
• “Adjustable Pedals Unavailable
While Reversing”;
• or “Adjustable Pedals Unavailable
While Cruise Engaged”.
NOTE:
For vehicles equipped with driver
memory seat, use your key fob (RKE)
transmitter or the memory buttons on
the driver's door trim panel to return
the adjustable pedals to programmed
positions. See “Driver Memory Seat
(for versions/markets, where
provided)” in section “Understanding
the Vehicle” for further information.
CAUTION!
Do not place any object under the
adjustable pedals or obstruct their
movements as it may cause damage to
the pedal controls. Pedal movement
may become limited if there is an
obstruction in the adjustable pedal's.Rearview Mirrors External Mirrors External mirrors can be adjusted
electrically and are equipped with
anti-mist resistors operated by the air
conditioning system (see “Air
Conditioning Controls” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
The mirrors can be closed electrically
and will yield in both directions in case
of a collision.
The external mirrors are
electrochromic, which means, they
automatically operate an anti-glare
function by gradually shading as the
light hitting the mirrors increases.
The external rear-view electrochromic
mirrors work in conjunction with the
internal rear-view electrochromic
mirror.
NOTE:
• The mirrors can be adjusted
electrically only with the ignition
device in ACC and RUN position.
• When the vehicle is started, the
indicator light shown in the picture
will momentarily illuminate in both
outside rear-view mirrors to let the
driver know that the optional BlindUnderstanding the Vehicle

By pressing the indicated button on
the central console, the half-lids will
rise completely enabling access to the
inner compartment where the two
cupholders are located. The storage and passenger
compartment share the same air
conditioning even though you may
exclude the air conditioning of the
cupholder compartment by moving
the indicated button.
To close one or both of the half-lids,
push them down to the locking
position. Cupholders for Rear Passengers
Two cupholders are available in the
front side of the rear seats central
armrest.

surface, and at the side ends of the
dashboard. They have the purpose of
ventilating the upper part of the
passenger compartment. There are
also adjustable vents placed at the
rear end of the central console. The
rotor 1 , located near each vent, allows
to control the quantity of the air flow
from fully closed to fully open, and
vice versa.
Excluding the adjustable vents on the
upper surface of the dashboard, the
grill of these vents can be oriented by
operating on the central handle 2 . NOTE:
In order not to obstruct the air
conditioning inlet, the defrosting or
the defogging function of the glass
surfaces, avoid covering vents with
clothing or other items.

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

• “Dashboard” mode
Air flows for each zone from four
adjustable vents of the dashboard,
two vents on the upper part of the
dashboard and two positioned at
the rear end of the central console.
Each of these vents can be singly
adjusted. The air grids or vanes of
the vents can be moved to adjust air
flow direction. A setting wheel,
placed near each vent, allows to
regulate or close the airflow.
• “Bi-Level” mode
Air for each zone comes from the
dashboard and central console
adjustable vents and the fixed floor
vents. A small portion of the airflow
is directed through the
defrost/demist vents to prevent
windows fogging.
NOTE:
Bi-Level mode is designed to let cooler
air come in the dashboard and rear
part of the central console vents and
warmer air from the floor vents.
• “Defrost” mode
Air for each zone comes from the
dashboard defrost/demist vents to
prevent windows fogging. • “Mix” mode
Air for each zone comes from the
defrost/demist vent, the vent under
the dashboard and from floor vent.
This mode is recommended for cold
climates, to improve comfort and
prevent windows fogging.
• “Hi-Level” mode
Air for each zone comes from the
dashboard defrost/demist vents,
from the dashboard and central
console adjustable vents and the
fixed floor vents.
• “Tri-Level” mode
Air for each zone comes from all the
adjustable/fixed and defrost/demist
vents.
14. “SYNC” mode
Touch the “SYNC” soft-key on the
MTC+ to switch the Sync feature
on/off. The “SYNC” soft-key
illuminates when this feature is
selected. This function is used to
synchronise the passenger
temperature setting with the driver
temperature setting.
Changing the passenger temperature
setting while in “SYNC” will
automatically exit this feature. 15. “REAR” mode
This soft-key is present only if the
vehicle is equipped with the additional
dual-zone air conditioning system for
rear passengers. Touching "REAR"
soft-key you enter the screen where
the settings available for rear seat
passengers are displayed. For the
description of these controls, see
paragraph "Four-Zone Climate
Controls (optional)" of this chapter.
Dual Zone Climate Control
Functions Air Conditioning (A/C)
The “A/C” soft-key allows to manually
activate or deactivate the air
conditioning system. When the air
conditioning system is turned on, cool
dehumidified air will flow through the
vents into the cabin. For improved fuel
economy, touch the “A/C” soft-key to
turn off the air conditioning and
manually adjust the blower and
airflow mode settings.
When the “A/C” and “AUTO”
functions are switched off it is not
possible to have air at a lower
temperature than the outside.Dashboard Instruments and Controls
