KNOWING YOUR CAR

Air flow to the windscreen and front
side window vents to
demist/defrost them.
Air flow at central and side
dashboard vents to ventilate the
chest and the face during the hot
season.
Air flow to the front and rear
footwell vents. This air distribution
setting heats the passenger
compartment most quickly, giving a
prompt sensation of warmth.
Air flow distributed between
footwell vents (hotter air) and
central and side dashboard vents
(cooler air). This air distribution
setting is useful in spring and
autumn on sunny days.
Air flow distributed between
footwell vents and windscreen and
front side window defrosting/
demisting vents. This distribution
setting allows the passenger
compartment to be warmed up
efficiently and prevents the
windows from misting up.
Air flow distribution between
windscreen demisting/defrosting
vents and side and central
dashboard vents. This allows air to
be sent to the windscreen in
conditions of strong sunlight.
Air flow distribution to all diffusers
on the vehicle.
In AUTO mode, the air conditioner
automatically manages the air
distribution. When set manually, the air
distribution is indicated by the respective
symbols on the Connect system display
switching on.
START & STOP EVO
The automatic dual zone climate control
system interacts with the Start & Stop
Evo system (engine off when vehicle
speed is 0 mph (0 km/h)) to ensure
adequate comfort inside the vehicle.
In particular, the climate control system
deactivates the Start & Stop Evo if:
the climate control system is in AUTO
mode (LED on the button switched on)
and the temperature conditions inside
the vehicle are far from a comfort
temperature;
the climate control system is in LO for
maximum cooling;
the climate control system is in the
MAX-DEF status.
With Start & Stop Evo system on (engineoff and vehicle speed equal to 0 mph
(0 km/h)), the flow is reduced as much as
possible, to keep the compartment
comfort conditions for longer.
IMPORTANT
2)The system uses R1234yf coolant gas,
which does not pollute the environment in the
event of accidental leakage. Under no
circumstances use R134a and R12 fluids,
which are incompatible with the components
of the system.

ANTI-PINCH SAFETY DEVICE
The sun roof has an anti-pinch safety
system capable of detecting the
presence of an obstacle during the
closing movement: if this happens, the
system intervenes and the movement of
the roof is immediately reversed into
opening.
INITIALISATION PROCEDURE
Automatic operation of the sunroof must
be initialised again in case of faulty
sunroof operation.
Proceed as follows:
press button 1 next to thesymbol
to bring the roof into completely closed
position;
bring the ignition device to STOP and
wait at least 10 seconds;
set the ignition device to AVV;
hold button 1 down for at least
10 seconds, then you should hear the
mechanical stop of the roof motor;
within 5 seconds hold button 1 down:
the roof will perform a complete
automatic opening and closing cycle (to
indicate that the initialisation procedure
has been successful). If this does not
occur, the procedure must be restarted
from the beginning.
WARNING
21)When leaving the vehicle, make sure to
take the key with you to avoid the risk of
injury to those still inside the car due to
accidental operation of the sunroof.
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.
IMPORTANT
11)Do not open the sun roof if a roof rack or
crossbars are fitted. Do not open the sun
roof if there is snow or ice on it: you may
damage it.

KNOWING YOUR CAR

raise the bonnet completely: the
operation is facilitated by the presence
of two gas shock absorbers which hold it
the all open position.
Do not tamper with the shock absorber
and accompany the bonnet while lifting it.
CLOSING
22) 24)
To close, lower the bonnet to
approximately 15 in (40 cm) from the
engine compartment then let it drop.
Make sure that the bonnet is completely
closed and not only fastened by the
locking device by trying to open it. If it is
not perfectly closed, do not try to press
the bonnet lid down but open it and
repeat the procedure.
IMPORTANT Always check that the
bonnet is closed correctly to prevent it
from opening while the vehicle istravelling. Since the bonnet is equipped
with a double locking system, one for
each side, you must check that it is closed
on both its side ends.
WARNING
22)Perform these operations only when the
car is stationary.
23)Use both hands to lift the bonnet. Before
lifting, check that the windscreen wiper arms
are not raised from the windscreen or in
operation, that the vehicle is stationary and
that the electric parking brake is engaged.
24)For safety reasons, the bonnet must
always be properly closed while the car is
travelling. Therefore, make sure that the
bonnet is properly closed and that the lock is
engaged. If you discover that the bonnet is
not perfectly closed during travel, stop
immediately and close the bonnet in the
correct manner.
