HEAD RESTRAINTSFRONTHead restraints are adjustable in height and they lock automatically
into the desired position:
❒upwards adjustment: raise the head restraint until it clicks into place;
❒downwards adjustment: press button A fig. 24 and lower the head
restraint.
Head restraints must be adjusted so that the head,
rather than the neck, rests on them. Only in this case
can they protect your head correctly.
To remove the head restraints:
❒raise the head restraints to their maximum height;
❒press buttons A and B fig. 24, then remove the head restraints by
pulling 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 behaviour is caused by the system and
should not be considered a malfunction.

During automatic operation, you can change the set temperatures, air
distribution and fan speed at any time by using the relevant buttons
or knobs: the system will automatically change the settings to adjust to
the new requirements.
During fully automatic operation (AUTO), the word AUTO will
disappear if the air distribution and/or flow rate and/or engagement
of the compressor and/or recirculation settings are changed.
During fully automatic operation (FULL AUTO), the word FULL will
disappear if the air distribution and/or flow rate and/or activation of
the compressor and/or recirculation settings are changed.
In this way the climate control system will continue to automatically
manage all functions except for those that have been manually
adjusted. The fan speed is the same in all the zones of the passenger
compartment.ADJUSTING THE AIR TEMPERATURETurn the A or L knob 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 displays.
Press the MONO button to align the air temperature between the two
areas:
Turn the L knob to return to the separate management of air
temperatures in the two zones.
Turn the knobs fully right or left to engage HI (maximum heating) or LO
(maximum cooling) respectively. To deactivate these functions, turn
the temperature knob to the desired temperature.
SETTING THE AIR DISTRIBUTIONBy pressing the buttons (
/
/
), it is possible to set one of the
7 possible air distributions manually:
Air flow to the windscreen and front side window diffusers 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 diffusers. 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
distribution setting is useful in spring and autumn on sunny
days.Air flow distributed between footwell diffusers and
windscreen and front side window defrosting/demisting
diffusers. This distribution setting allows the passenger
compartment to warm up efficiently and prevents the
windows from misting up.Air flow distribution between windscreen demisting/
defrosting diffusers 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 vents on the car.
In AUTO mode, the climate control system automatically manages air
distribution (the LEDs on buttons H are off). When set manually, the air
distribution is shown by the LEDs on the selected buttons.
