To Arm The System
With the doors and decklid closed and the ignition key
either turned to STOP (OFF/LOCK) or removed, point
the key towards the vehicle then push and release the
lock button.
The system emits a visual signal and activates door
locking.
A self-diagnosis stage lasting approximately 30 seconds
precedes the activation of the alarm. During the self-
diagnosis, the vehicle security light flashes in the instru-
ment panel at a frequency of about one flash per second.
After the self-diagnosis stage, the vehicle security light
flashes at a lower frequency (approximately one flash
every three seconds).
If, after the alarm is switched on, a second visual signal
emit via the vehicle security light in the instrument
panel, wait about four seconds and switch off the alarm
by pushing the lock button, check that the doors and
decklid are closed correctly and then reactivate the
system by pushing the unlock button.
If the alarm emits a visual signal even when the doors
and decklid are closed correctly, a system malfunction
has occurred: in this case, contact an authorized dealer.
To Disarm The System
Deactivation
Push the unlock button.
The following operations are performed:
•Two brief flashes of the direction indicators.
• Unlocking of the doors.
NOTE:
• If the central door locking system is released using
the metal insert of the key, the alarm is not disabled.
• In the event of accidental activation of the alarm, or
in any case to interrupt the visual signal cycle when
activated, it is possible to push the unlock button or
turn the ignition key to MAR (ON/RUN) for at least
five seconds, after which the system will deactivate.
Disarming
To completely disable the alarm (e.g. during a lengthy
period of vehicle inactivity), lock the vehicle by turning
the metal insert of the key in the door lock.

Push and release the Demist/Defrost button to turn on the outside mirror defroster. An
indicator will illuminate when the outside mirror defroster is on. The outside mirror de-
froster automatically turns off after 20 minutes.
Temperature Control Knob
Temperature control is used to regulate the temperature of the air forced through the cli-
mate system. The temperature can be selected using the temperature control knob on the
faceplate. The temperature increases as you turn the temperature control knob clockwise.
The temperature decreases as you turn the temperature control knob counterclockwise.
Blower Control Knob
Blower control is used to regulate the amount of air forced through the climate system. The
speeds can be selected by rotating the blower control knob on the faceplate clockwise, or
counterclockwise. The larger the number of the setting, the faster the blower speed.
Mode Control Knob
Mode control is used to regulate the mode airflow is distributed into the cabin. The airflow
distribution mode can be adjusted so air comes from the instrument panel outlets, floor
outlets, defrost outlets and demist outlets.
Panel Mode

Bi-Level Mode
Bi-Level Mode
Air comes from the instrument panel outlets and floor outlets. A slight amount of air is
directed through the defrost and side window demister outlets.
NOTE:
Bi-Level mode is designed under comfort conditions to provide cooler air out of the panel
outlets and warmer air from the floor outlets.
Floor Mode
Floor Mode
Air comes from the floor outlets. A slight amount of air is directed through the defrost and
side window demister outlets.
Mix Mode
Mix Mode
Air is directed through the floor, defrost, and side window demister outlets. This setting
works best in cold or snowy conditions that require extra heat to the windshield. This set-
ting is good for maintaining comfort while reducing moisture on the windshield.
Front Defrost Mode
Air comes from the windshield and side window demist outlets. When the defrost mode is
selected, the blower level will increase. Use Defrost mode with maximum temperature set-
tings for best windshield and side window defrosting and defogging.
