At low external temperatures or in high humidity,
the automatic function turns off to avoid fogging
up the windows. The user can select the function
again by pushing the Air Recirculation Button.
In automatic operation, air recirculation will be
controlled by the system according to outside
environmental conditions.

NOTE:

With the AQS function active and after the
internal air recirculation system has been
functioning for a set amount of time, the
Climate Control System enables air intake to
cycle the air in the passenger compartment for
a set time. The AQS function is disabled during
the air changes.
The engagement of the recirculation system
makes it possible to reach the required heating
or cooling conditions faster. It is, however,
inadvisable to use it on rainy/cold days as it
can increase the possibility of the windows
fogging. When the outside temperature is low,
recirculation is forced off to prevent the
windows from fogging up.
Front Defrost Air comes from the windshield and side
window demist outlets. Use Defrost
mode with maximum temperature
settings for best windshield and side
window defrosting and defogging.
Rear Defrost
Push the Rear Defrost button to activate
(indicators illuminated) the Rear
Defroster. The Rear Defrost will turn off after 20 minutes or
once the engine is turned off.

NOTE:
To avoid damage, do not apply stickers over the
interior heating filaments of the Rear Defroster.
Front Defrost And MAX-DEF Function
Push the MAX-DEF button (indicator
illuminated) to defrost the windshield
and side windows.
While in MAX-DEF function, the air conditioner
will:
Activate the air conditioner compressor when
the weather allows
Turn air recirculation off
Set the maximum air temperature (HI) on both
the driver and passenger side
Activate a blower speed based on the
temperature of the engine coolant
Adjust the air flow towards the windshield and
front side windows
Activate the Rear Window Defrost
Display the fan speed (indicators illuminated)
and current air distribution setting

NOTE:
The MAX-DEF function remains active for approx -
imately three minutes once the engine coolant
reaches the proper temperature.
When the function is on, AUTO mode will
deactivate. The only manual operations possible
are adjusting blower speed and turning off the
Rear Window Defrost. Pushing the Air Recirculation button switches
off the MAX-DEF function.
Air Temperature Adjustment
Rotate the driver or passenger Temperature
Adjustment Knob clockwise for warmer
temperatures or counterclockwise for cooler
temperatures. The set temperatures are shown
on the radio system.
Push the SYNC button to sync the driver and
passenger air temperatures.
Rotate the passenger Temperature Adjustment
Knob to cancel the SYNC function. This will set a
new passenger side temperature.
Rotate the Temperature Adjustment Knob fully
clockwise to engage the HI (maximum heating)
setting or fully counterclockwise to engage the
LO (maximum cooling) setting. To deactivate
these functions, rotate the Temperature
Adjustment Knob to the desired temperature.
Rear passengers’ temperature is linked to driver
side selection.
AUTO Button
When the AUTO button is pushed (indicator
illuminated), the Climate Control system automat
-
ically adjusts the following settings:Quantity and distribution of air flow in the
passenger compartment
The air conditioner
Air recirculation
Cancels any manual settings
Selecting the AUTO function illuminates the
indicator on the A/C button.

Quadrifoglio Instrument Cluster
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTIONS
1. Tachometer•Indicates the engine speed in revolutions
per minute (RPM x 1000).
• Inside the tachometer there is a light
sensor capable of detecting ambient light conditions and adjusting the operatingmode (night/day) and the brightness of theinstrument panel and the Information andEntertainment System display. 2. Engine Oil Temperature Gauge
•The digital bar indicator monitors the
temperature of the engine oil and starts
su
pplying indications when the fluid
temperature reaches approximately 122°F (50°C).
• Under normal usage, the digital scale
should hover around the middle of thescale according to the working conditions.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You
or others could be badly burned by steam or
boiling coolant. It is recommended to call an
authorized dealer for service if your vehicle
overheats

Dynamic
The display graphically shows the values of:
○ accelerator pedal position (expressed in percentage);
○ brake pedal position (expressed in percentage);
○ engine coolant temperature (H = hot C = cold).
Dynamic
Race (If Equipped)
The display graphically shows the values of:
○ engine torque;
○ turbocharger pressure;
○ engine oil pressure (L = low pressure/
H= high pressure).

NOTE:

The engine torque and turbocharger pressure
values vary according to the engine type. Race
Dynamic
Acceleration Gauge
The displayed parameters are related to vehi -

Engine Coolant Temperature Too High
The telltale lights up when the engine
has overheated.

In normal driving conditions : stop the car, turn off
the engine and check that the coolant level in the
reservoir is not below the MIN mark. In this case,
wait for the engine to cool down, then slowly and
carefully open the cap, fill with coolant and check
that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks
on the reservoir itself. Also check visually for any
fluid leaks. Contact an authorized dealer if the
telltale comes on when the engine is started again.

If the vehicle is used under demanding
conditions (e.g. in high-performance driving):
slow down and, if the warning light stays on, stop
the vehicle. Stop for two or three minutes with the
engine running and slightly accelerated to
facilitate better coolant circulation, then turn the
engine off. Check that the coolant level is correct
as described previously.
Hood Cap Not Properly Shut
The telltale turns on when the hood cap
is not properly closed, along with the
icon, an image of the vehicle with an
open hood cap appears on the display.
A buzzer is heard when the hood cap is open and
the vehicle is moving.
Close the hood properly.
Insufficient Engine Oil Level
The telltale turns on, along with the
related message on the display, to
indicate low engine oil level.
Contact an authorized dealer to have the system
checked.

sound when this telltale turns on. Do not operate
the vehicle until the cause is corrected. This
telltale does not indicate how much oil is in
the engine.

NOTE:
Do not use the vehicle until the failure has been
solved. The turning on of the telltale does not indi -
cate the amount of oil in the engine: the oil level
can be checked on the display upon entering the
vehicle and also by activating the “Oil level”
function on the Information and Entertainment
System.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
Liftgate Not Properly Shut
The telltale turns on when the liftgate is
not properly closed, along with the icon,
an image of the vehicle with an open
