to speed up demisting/defrosting of front windows, rear
window and door mirrors;
❒to demist/defrost heated rear window and door mirrors.
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.
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 knob N or H to the right or left to adjust the air temperature: knob
N for the front left area, knob H for the front right area of the
passenger compartment. The set temperatures are shown on the
display.
Press the MONO button to align the air temperature of the two areas:
to set the same temperature, turn knob N.
To return to separate management of air temperature and distribution
between the two areas, turn knob N or H or press the MONO button
again (when the LED on the button is on).
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 FULL AUTO mode, the climate control system automatically manages
air distribution (the LEDs on buttons I and M are off). When set
manually, the air distribution is shown by the LEDs on the selected
buttons.

Incorrect use of the electric windows may be
dangerous. Before and during operation, always check
that no passenger is at risk of being injured directly
by the moving window or by objects getting caught in or
dragged by the window. When leaving the car, always remove
the key from the ignition to prevent accidental operation of the
electric windows from being a hazard for those still on board.
Electric window system initialisation
The system must be re-initialised after disconnecting the battery or if
the relevant protection fuse is blown.
Initialisation procedure:
❒fully close the window to initialise with manual operation;
❒after the window has reached the upper end of travel, hold down
the closing control for at least 1 second.
For versions/markets where provided, after a break in power supply
for the control units (battery replaced or disconnected or protective
fuses for the electric window control units replaced), the automatic
operation of the windows must be restored.
The restoration procedure must be performed as described below with
the doors closed:
❒completely open the driver's door window, holding the operating
button down for at least three seconds after the (lower) end of travel
position;
❒completely raise the driver side window and hold the button down
for at least 3 seconds once the (upper) end of travel position has
been reached;❒proceed in the same way as described in points 1 and 2 for the
passenger side door;
❒make sure that the initialisation is correct by checking that the
