GENERAL TRIP - TRIP B
The TRIP COMPUTER function enables displaying on the re-configurable multifunction display the engine oil temperature and the sizes rele-
vant to the car operating conditions. This function comprises the GENERAL TRIP concerning the complete mission of the car and TRIP B con-
cerning the partial car mission. This function (as shown in the graph below) is contained within the complete mission. Both functions are re-
settable.
The GENERAL TRIP displays the figures relating to
ACTUAL CONSUMPTION,AVERAGE CONSUMPTION,RANGE,AVERAGE VELOCITY,TRAVEL TIME(driving time),
TRAVEL DISTANCE.
TRIP B (with automatic reset each time at least 2 hours have passed since stopping the engine), displays information concerning
AVERAGE CON-
SUMPTION B,AVERAGE VELOCITY B,TRAVEL TIME B(driving time), TRAVEL DISTANCE B.
Start of journey procedure (reset)
To start a new journey monitored by the GENERAL TRIP, with the ignition key at MAR, press the button with
U(see “Control buttons”).
The reset operation (pressing the
Ubutton) in the presence of the screens concerning the GENERAL TRIP also makes it possible to reset
TRIP B. The reset operation (pressing the
Ubutton) in the presence of only the screens concerning TRIP B makes it possible to reset only the
information associated with this function.

Air quality control is also entrusted to a
combined particle and activated carbon fil-
ter. The climate control system automatically
controls and adjusts the following parame-
ters and functions:
– temperature of the air admitted to the
passenger compartment (for the driver’s and
passenger’s side separately)
– fan speed
– air distribution
– inside air re-circulation on/off
– climate control compressor on/off en-
able.
It is possible to change the setting of the
following functions manually:
– fan speed
– air distribution
– inside air re-circulation on/off
– climate control compressor on/off en-
able.
The control of functions not changed man-
ually remains automatic and in any case the
temperature of the air admitted to the pas-
senger compartment is controlled automati-
cally according to the temperatures set on
the driver’s and passenger’s displays.
IMPORTANTManual selections prevail
over automatic ones and remain in storage
until the user decides to resume automatic
control. The settings selected manually are
stored when the engine is switched off and
resumed the next time it is started. To ensure correct opera-
tion of the incipient mist-
ing sensor, stickers must
not be applied (road licence holder,
time card etc.) in the “control”
area between the sensor and the
windscreen. Care should also be
given to cleaning the windscreen
and the actual sensor, avoiding the
accumulation of dust and other sub-
stances.IMPORTANTThe demisting procedure
is enabled each time the ignition key is
turned to MARor pressing the
AUTObut-
ton. When this procedure is working it can
be turned off pressing one of the following
buttons: compressor, air re-circulation, air
flow, air capacity. This operation inhibits the
incipient misting sensor signal until the
AU-
TObutton is pressed again or the next time
the ignition key is turned to MAR.
On certain versions, the system is inte-
grated by an antipollution sensor capable of
automatically switching on inside air re-cir-
culation to lessen the harmful effects of pol-
luted air in cities, queues, tunnels and op-
eration of the windscreen washer (with the
typical smell of spirits).
IMPORTANTThe function of the an-
tipollution sensor is subordinate to safety
conditions; therefore disabling the climate
control compressor or at an outside tem-
perature below 4°C the sensor is disabled.
The sensor can be re-enabled pressing the
re-circulation button
vuntil taking it to
the automatic mode. On some versions the system is integrat-
ed with an incipient misting sensor installed
behind the inside rear-view mirror, capable
of “controlling” a predefined area of the
windscreen inner surface which can auto-
matically act on the system to prevent or re-
duce misting through a series of operations
such as: opening air re-circulation, enabling
the compressor, air flow to the windscreen,
fan speed sufficient for demisting; in the
case of heavy misting, enabling the
MAX-
DEFfunction.
