SWITCHING OFF/ON THE
CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM
Switching off the
climate control system
Press the
button (LED on button off).
With climate control off:
❒air recirculation is on, thus isolating
the passenger compartment from
the outside;
❒the compressor is off;
❒the fan is off;
❒the heated rear window can be
switched on or off;
❒the AQS (Air Quality System) function
cannot be activated.
IMPORTANT The climate control
system control unit stores the
temperatures set before the system
was switched off and restores them
when any button of the system is
pressed (except for button D).
Switching on the climate
control system
To switch on the climate control system
in fully automatic mode press the AUTO
button.START&STOP
Automatic Climate
Control
The dual zone automatic climate control
manages the Start&Stop function
(engine off when the car speed is zero)
to guarantee a suitable comfort inside
the car.
Specifically, the Start&Stop function is
turned off when the weather is
particularly hot or cold to guarantee an
adequate level of comfort inside the
passenger compartment; therefore, the
engine will not be stopped during
these transient conditions, even if the
speed is zero.
When the Start&Stop function is active
(engine off at zero car speed), the
climate control system will request
restarting of the engine if the inside
temperature conditions rapidly
deteriorate (or if the user requests
maximum cooling – LO – or quick
demisting – MAX DEF).
With the Start&Stop function on (engine
off at zero speed), air flow is reduced
to the minimum to maintain comfort
conditions inside the passenger
compartment as long as possible when
the system is in AUTO mode (LED N
on).The climate control system control unit
attempts to manage the discomfort
caused by the engine stopping
(compressor and engine coolant pump
off) but operation of the climate control
system can be enhanced by turning
the Start&Stop off by pressing the
dedicated button on the dashboard.
NoteIn particularly severe climate
conditions it is recommended to limit
the use of the Start&Stop function
to prevent the compressor from
continuously switching on and off, with
consequent rapid misting of the
windows and accumulation of humidity
with unpleasant smells in the passenger
compartment.
NoteWhen the Start&Stop function is
on (engine off and vehicle speed zero),
the automatic recirculation
management is turned off always taking
air in from outside, to reduce the
probability of window misting up (as the
compressor is off).

ADDITIONAL HEATER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This allows the passenger
compartment to be heated more
quickly in cold weather conditions. The
additional heater turns off automatically
after the required comfort conditions
are achieved.
Automatic dual zone
climate control system
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The additional heater activates
automatically depending on the
environmental conditions and with
engine started.
Manual climate control
system
The additional heater activates
automatically when knob A is turned to
the end of the red section and the fan
is set to at least 1
stspeed.
IMPORTANT The heater only works if
the outside temperature and engine
coolant temperature are low. The heater
will not activate if the battery voltage is
too low.
IMPORTANT
2) The climate control system
detects the passenger
compartment temperature with a
mean radiant temperature sensor
fitted in a cover under the internal
rear view mirror. Obstructing the
field of view of this sensor with
any object could cause the
climate control system to operate
with less than optimal efficiency

ENGINE STOPPING
FAILURE CONDITIONS
When the system is active, due to
comfort, emission control and safety
reasons, the engine does not stop
in some conditions, among which
10):
❒engine still cold;
❒especially cold outside temperature;
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒particulate filter regeneration (DPF) in
progress (diesel engines only);
❒driver's door not shut;
❒driver's seat belt not fastened;
❒reverse gear engaged (for example,
for parking manoeuvres);
❒for versions equipped with dual zone
automatic climate control (for
versions/markets, where provided), if
an adequate level of thermal comfort
has not been reached or with
MAX-DEF function activation;
❒during the first period of use, to
initialise the system.ENGINE RESTARTING
CONDITIONS
Due to comfort, emission control and
safety reasons, the engine can restart
automatically without any action by the
driver, under special conditions, such
as:
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒reduced braking system vacuum
(e.g. if the brake pedal is pressed
repeatedly);
❒car moving (e.g. when driving on
roads with a gradient);
❒engine stopping by Start&Stop
system for over 3 minutes;
❒for versions equipped with dual zone
automatic climate control system (for
versions/markets, where provided),
if an adequate level of thermal
comfort has not been reached or
MAX-DEF function activation.
With gear engaged, automatic engine
restarting is possible only by fully
depressing the clutch pedal. The driver
is informed by the displaying of a
message on the display and -
for versions/markets, where provided -
by the flashing of the symbol
.Notes
If the clutch is not pressed, about 3
minutes after the engine stops, the
engine can be restarted only using the
ignition key.
In cases when the engine stops and
this is not desired, due for example to
the clutch pedal being released sharply
with a gear engaged, if the Start&Stop
system is activated, the engine can
be restarted by fully depressing the
clutch pedal or by placing the gear lever
in neutral.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
When the engine is stopped by the
Start&Stop system, if the driver releases
his/her seat belt and opens the driver's
or passenger's door, the engine can
be restarted only using the ignition key.
The driver is informed by a buzzer
and by the flashing of the symbol
on
the display; on some versions, a
message is displayed as well.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

60) Parking and other dangerous
manoeuvres are, however, always
the driver’s responsibility. While
carrying out these manoeuvres,
always make sure that no people
(especially children) or animals are
in the area concerned. The
parking sensors are an aid for the
driver, but the driver must never
allow their attention to lapse
during potentially dangerous
manoeuvres, even those executed
at low speeds.
REFUELLING THE
CARStop the engine before refuelling.
PETROL ENGINES
Only use unleaded petrol 95 R.O.N.
compliant with the European
specification EN228. The petrol octane
rating (R.O.N.) must not be lower than
95. In order to prevent damage to
the catalytic converter never introduce
even the smallest amount of leaded
petrol, even in the event of an
emergency.
DIESEL ENGINES
Use only diesel fuel compliant with
European specification EN590. The use
of other products or mixtures may
damage the engine beyond repair and
consequently invalidate the warranty,
due to the damage caused.Operation at low
temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low,
the diesel thickens due to the formation
of paraffin clots with consequent
defective operation of the fuel supply
system.
In order to avoid these problems,
different types of diesel are distributed
according to the season: summer type,
winter type and arctic type (cold,
mountain areas).
If refuelling with diesel whose
specifications are not suitable for the
usage temperature, it is advisable
to mix TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in
the proportions shown on the container
with the fuel. Pour the additive into
the tank before the fuel.
When using or parking the car for a
long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available fuel. In this case, it is
also advisable to keep the tank over
50% full.

PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENTThe following devices are used for
reducing petrol fuel engine emissions:
catalytic converter, oxygen sensors and
evaporation control system
The following devices are used for
reducing diesel fuel engine emissions:
oxidising catalytic converter, exhaust
gas recirculation system (EGR) and
particulate filter (DPF).
62)
DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER (DPF)
(Diesel Particulate Filter)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a
mechanical filter, integral to the exhaust
system, that physically traps carbon
particles present in the exhaust gases
of diesel engines.
The diesel particulate filter is needed to
eliminate almost all carbon particle
emissions in compliance with
current/future regulations and
standards.During standard use of the vehicle, the
engine control unit records a set of data
(e.g.: travel time, type of route,
temperatures, etc.) and it will then
calculate how much particulate has
been trapped by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps
particulate, it should be periodically
regenerated (cleaned) at regular
intervals by burning carbon particles.
The regeneration procedure is
controlled automatically by the engine
management control unit according
to the filter conditions and vehicle use
conditions.
During the regeneration there may be a
limited increase in the engine idle
speed, fan activation, a limited increase
in fumes and high temperatures at the
exhaust.
These are not faults; they do not impair
normal car performance or damage
the environment. If the dedicated
message is displayed, see contents of
"Warning lights and messages"
paragraph, in chapter "Knowing the
instrument panel".
WARNING
62) The catalytic converter and
particulate filter (DPF) reach very
high temperatures during
operation. Therefore do not park
the car on flammable materials
(e.g. grass, dry leaves, pine
needles, etc.): fire hazard.
