air outlet from footwell, windscreen and front side window vents.
air outlet from windscreen vents.
D - Heated rear window and (for versions/markets, where provided) heated mirrors/heated windscreen activation/deactivation.
E - Fan speed adjustment and climate control system activation/deactivation knob (for versions/markets, where provided).
IMPORTANT It is advisable to switch the air recirculation on whilst queuing or in tunnels, or whilst driving on dusty roads, to
prevent the introduction of polluted air. However, it is better not to use the function for long periods, particularly if there are
many people on board, to prevent the windows from misting.
NoteTo stop the air flow from the vents, turn the knob to 0.
ADDITIONAL HEATER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The additional heater speeds up passenger compartment warming when it is very cold. The heater switches on automatically
according to the environmental conditions and with engine started when the temperature of the engine coolant is low. The
additional heater turns off automatically after the required comfort conditions are achieved.
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.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Controls
A - Manual air distribution selection.
By pressing the buttons, one of the five possible air flow distribution patterns can be selected:
air outlet from the windscreen and front side window vents to demist or defrost them.
air outlet from the dashboard central and side vents to ventilate the chest and the face.
air outlet from footwell vents. Due to the natural tendency of heat to spread upwards, this type of distribution warms the
passenger compartment up as quickly as possible.
+air outlet from the footwell vents (warmest air) and the dashboard vents (coolest air).
+air outlet from footwell, windscreen and front side window vents. This type of distribution achieves effective heating of
the passenger compartment and prevents the windows from misting up.

I/L - Adjustment of temperature inside the passenger compartment.
The automatic climate control manages the Stop/Start function (engine off when the vehicle speed is zero) to guarantee
adequate comfort inside the passenger compartment.
NOTE In particularly severe climate conditions it is recommended to limit the use of the Stop/Start 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.
WARNING
18)It is advisable not to use the air recirculation function when the outside temperature is low, because the windows could rapidly steam up.
WARNING
2)The system uses R134a coolant which does not pollute the environment in the event of accidental leakage. Never use R12 fluid, which is
not compatible with the system components.

remove the key from the ignition to avoid
the risk of injury due to accidental
operation of the sun roof. Improper use of
the roof can be dangerous. Before and
during operation, always check that
nobody is at risk of being injured by the
moving sun roof or by objects getting
caught or hit by it.
WARNING
8)Do not open the sunroof if snow or ice is
over it: you may damage it. In vehicles
with sun roof no roof rack can be fitted.
DUALDRIVE
ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING
22) 23)
This only operates with the key turned
to MAR and the engine started. The
steering allows the force required at the
steering wheel to be adjusted to suit
driving conditions.
IMPORTANT When turning the ignition
key quickly, full power steering
functionality can be achieved after a
few seconds.
CITY FUNCTION
ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
Press the CITY fig. 28 button to
activate/deactivate the function. The
activation of the function is signalled by
the word CITY on the display (in some
versions it is signalled by the word CITY
appearing on the instrument panel).
When the CITY function is on, the
steering wheel effort is lighter, making
parking easier: therefore, this function is
particularly useful for driving in city
centres.IMPORTANT During parking
manoeuvres requiring a lot of steering,
the steering may become harder; this is
normal and is due to the intervention
of the system to protect the electric
steering motor from overheating so no
intervention is required. When the
vehicle is used again later on,
the power steering will work normally.
WARNING
22)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installation of anti-theft
device) that could adversely affect
performance and safety, invalidate the
warranty and also result in non-compliance
of the vehicle with type-approval
requirements.
