AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Controls
A - Manual air distribution selection
By pressing the buttons, one of the five possible air flow distribution patterns can be selected:
air flow to the windscreen and front side window diffusers to demist or defrost them.
air flow to central and side dashboard vents to ventilate the chest and the face during the hot season.
air flow to the front seat feet area diffusers. Due to the natural tendency of heat to spread upwards, this type of
distribution warms the passenger compartment up as quickly as possible, providing an immediate feeling of warmth.
+distribution between feet area diffusers (warmest air) and dashboard diffusers (coolest air).
23L0F0129C
25

+distribution between footwell diffusers and windscreen/front side window vents. This type of distribution achieves
effective heating of the passenger compartment and prevents the windows from misting up.
B - Activation/deactivation of the MAX-DEF function (fast front window defrosting/demisting).
C - Climate control system compressor activation/deactivation.
D - Internal air recirculation activation/deactivation button.
E - AUTO function activation (climate control system automatic operation).
F - heated rear window on/off.
G - Fan speed adjustment knob.
H - Climate control on/off.
I/L - Adjustment of temperature inside the passenger compartment.
NOTEIn particularly severe climate conditions it is recommended to limit the use of the Stop/Start function to prevent the
compressor from continuously switching on and off, with consequent rapid misting of the windows and accumulation of
humidity with unpleasant smells in the passenger compartment.
WARNING
19)It is advisable not to use the internal air recirculation function when the outside temperature is low, because the windows could mist
rapidly.
WARNING
2)The system uses R134a coolant which does not pollute the environment in the event of accidental leakage. Never use R12 fluid, which is
not compatible with the system components.

WARNING
21)When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key from the ignition switch to
avoid the risk of injury to those still inside
the car due to accidental operation of
the sun roof. Improper use of the roof can
be dangerous. Before and during
operation, always check that no-one is
exposed to the risk of being injured by the
moving sunroof or by objects getting
caught or hit by it.
WARNING
12)Do not open the sun roof if there is
snow or ice on it: you may damage it. In
vehicles with sun roof no roof rack can be
fitted.
CONTROLS
DUALDRIVE ELECTRIC
POWER STEERING
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This only operates with the ignition
key turned to MAR and the engine
started. Electric power steering allows
the force required at the steering wheel
to be adapted to the driving conditions.
IMPORTANT When turning the ignition
key quickly, full power steering
functionality can be achieved after a
few seconds.
Activation / Deactivation (CITY
function)
Press the CITY button (A-fig. 27) to
activate the function. When this
function is active, the word CITY on the
instrument panel will light up.
26L0F0299C
27L0F0428C
29

When the CITY function is on, the
steering wheel effort is lighter, making
parking easier: therefore, this function is
particularly useful for driving in city
centres.
To deactivate the function press the
button again.
IMPORTANT During parking
manoeuvres requiring a lot of steering,
the steering may become harder: this is
normal and is due to the intervention
of the system to protect the electric
steering motor from overheating, so no
repair is required. When the car is
used again later on, the power steering
will work normally.
ECO FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Press the ECO button fig. 28 for at least
5 seconds to activate the function.When the ECO function is activated,
the car is set for city driving,
characterised by less effort on the
steering wheel (Dualdrive system on)
and reduced fuel consumption.
When this function is activated, the
word ECO on the display will light up on
some versions.
This function stays in the memory, so
when the vehicle is started again,
the system keeps the setting it had
before the engine was stopped. Press
the ECO button again to deactivate
the function and restore the normal
driving setting.
WARNING
22)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installation of anti-theft
device) that could adversely affect
performance and safety, invalidate the
warranty and also result in the car not
meeting type-approval requirements.
23)Before starting any servicing operation,
stop the engine and remove the key from
the ignition switch to operate the steering
lock, particularly when the wheels do
not touch the ground. If this is not possible
(for example if the key needs to be turned
to MAR or the engine must be running),
remove the main fuse that protects the
electric power steering.
