Memorising driver’s seat positions
The buttons C allow three different driver’s seat positions to be
memorised and recalled.
To memorise a seat position, adjust it with the various controls,
then press the button where you want to memorise the position
for several seconds. The performed memorisation is confirmed by
a beep.
When a new seat position is memorised, the previously memorised
position on the same button is automatically overwritten.
To recall a memorised position, press the relevant button briefly.
IMPORTANT Electric adjustment is only possible with the ignition
key turned to MAR-ON and for approximately 1 minute after turn-
ing it to STOP. The seat (driver's side or passenger's side) can be
moved after opening the relevant door for about 3 minutes, or as
long as the door is re-closed.

HEAD RESTRAINTS
FRONT HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are adjustable in height and they lock automati-
cally in the required position:
❍upward adjustment: lift the head restraint until it locks
❍downward adjustment, press the A button fig. 26 and lower
the head restraint.
fig. 26A0K0064m
Head restraints must be adjusted so that the head,
rather than the neck, rests on them. Only in this
case they can protect your head correctly.
To remove the head restraints:
❍raise the head restraint to its maximum height;
❍press A and B buttons fig. 26 and then remove the head re-
straints by sliding them upwards.
“Anti-Whiplash” device
The head restraints are equipped with an “Anti-Whiplash” device,
which reduces the distance between head and head restraint in the
event of a rear impact, thus mitigating the “whiplash” effect.
The head restraint may move when the backrest is pressed by
the occupant’s torso or hand: this is an effect of the system and
not a fault.

ADJUSTING THE AIR TEMPERATURE
Turn A or L knob to right or left to adjust the air temperature: A
knob for the front left-hand area, L knob for the front right-hand
area of the passenger compartment. The set temperatures are
shown on the display.
Press the MONO button to align the air temperature between the
two zones.
Turn L knob to go back to the separate management of air tem-
peratures in the two zones.
Turn the knobs fully clockwise or anti-clockwise to engage respec-
tively HI (maximum heating) or LO (maximum cooling). To de-
activate these functions, rotate the temperature knob to the de-
sired temperature.
SWITCHING THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM ON
The system can be turned on in different ways: you are recom-
mended to press the AUTO button and turn the knobs to set the re-
quired temperatures.
In this way the system operates completely automatically to ad-
just the temperature, quantity and distribution of the air introduced
into the passenger compartment. It also manages the air recircu-
lation system and the enablement of the air conditioning com-
pressor.
During fully automatic system operation, you can change at any
time the set temperatures, air distribution and fan speed by using
the relevant buttons or knobs: the system will automatically change
its settings to adjust to the new requirements.
During fully automatic operation (AUTO), the word AUTO will dis-
appear if the air distribution and/or flow rate and/or engagement
of the compressor and/or recirculation settings are changed.
In this way the climate control system will continue to automati-
cally manage all functions except for those that have been manu-
ally adjusted. There is only one fan speed in all the areas of the
passenger compartment.

In AUTO mode, the climate control system automatically manage
air distribution settings; the LED on H buttons are off.
When set manually, the set distribution is shown by the LEDs on
the selected buttons.
In combined function mode the relevant function is enabled si-
multaneously with those already set by pressing the correspond-
ing button. If a button whose function is active yet is pressed, the
operation is cancelled and the corresponding LED goes off. To re-
store automatic control of the air distribution after a manual se-
lection, press the AUTO button.SETTING THE AIR DISTRIBUTION
Press H (//) buttons to manually select one of the sev-
en possible air distribution settings:
Air flow to the windscreen and front side window vents to
demist/defrost them.
Air flow from 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 distribu-
tion setting heats the passenger compartment most quickly,
giving a prompt sensation of warmth.

Air flow distribution between footwell vents (hotter air) and
centre and side dashboard vents (cooler air). This distribution
setting is useful in spring and autumn on a sunny day.

Air flow distributed between foot well vents and windscreen
and front side window defrosting/demisting vents. This distri-
bution setting allows to warm up the passenger compartment
and prevents the windows from misting up.

Air flow distribution between windscreen demisting/defrosting
vents and side and central dashboard vents. This setting allows
air to be sent to the windscreen in conditions of strong sunlight.


Air flow distribution to all vents in the car.
