dashboard vents to ventilate the
chest and the face in warm
weather;
distribution between feet area
diffusers (warmest air) and
dashboard diffusers (coolest air);
towards the footwell diffusers. Due
to the natural tendency of heat to
spread upwards, this type of
distribution warms the passenger
compartment up as quickly as
possible, providing an immediate
feeling of warmth;
distribution between footwell
diffusers and windscreen/front
side window vents. This type of
distribution achieves effective
heating of the passenger
compartment and prevents the
windows from misting up;
air flow to the windscreen and
front side window diffusers to

of the climate control system,
deactivate the Start&Stop function.
NOTE To stop the air flow from the
vents, turn the knob to 0.
IMPORTANT It is advisable to switch
the air recirculation on whilst queueing
or in tunnels 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.
AIR RECIRCULATION

SYSTEMS
iTPMS System (indirect
Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System)
77) 78) 79) 80) 81) 82)
DESCRIPTION
The vehicle can be equipped with the
iTPMS (indirect Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System) which monitors the
tyre inflation status thanks to wheel
speed sensors.
To access the iTPMS screens ( fig. 51 -
fig. 52), press the TRIP button.
The fig. 52 screen will be displayed only
if one or more tyres are flat.
Correct tyre pressure (versions with
colour display)
If pressure of all the tyres corresponds
to the correct value, the display shows
the following screen fig. 51.
Low tyre pressure
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by switching on
the
warning light on the instrument
panel. Furthermore, the display will
show “KO” beside the tyres fig. 52
along with a warning message.RESET PROCEDURE
The iTPMS needs an initial "self-
learning" phase (with length depending
on the driving style and road conditions:
optimal conditions being driving on a
straight road at 80 km/h for at least 20
minutes) which starts when the Reset
procedure is carried out.
The Reset procedure must be carried
out:
each time tyre pressure is modified;
when even only one tyre is changed;
when tyres are rotated/inverted;
when the space-saver wheel is
fitted.
Before carrying out the RESET
procedure, inflate the tyres to the rated
pressure values specified in the inflation
pressure table (see "Wheels" paragraph
in the "Technical specifications"
chapter).
If the RESET procedure is not carried
out, in all above cases, the
warning
light may give false indications on
one or more tyres.
To carry out the RESET procedure, with
the car stopped and the ignition key
at MAR, use the setup menu (see the
description of the "Display" paragraph).
At the end of the Reset procedure,
the display will show the message
"Reset saved", indicating that
self-learning has started.
If the iTPMS self-learning is not
correctly executed, the message is not
displayed.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
The system is active for speeds above
15 km/h.
In a few situations such as sporty
driving, particular conditions of the road
surface (e.g. icy, snowy, unsurfaced
roads...) the signalling may be delayed
or partial in detecting the contemporary
deflation of more than one tyre.

SAFETY
Page 100 of 228
39)Never, under any circumstances, jump
start the engine by pushing, towing or
coasting downhill. This could cause fuel to
flow into the catalytic converter and
damage it beyond repair.
40)A quick burst on the accelerator before
stopping the engine serves no practical
purpose; it wastes fuel and is especially
damaging to turbocharged engines.PARKING THE
VEHICLE
When parking and leaving the car,
proceed as follows:
engage a gear (1stgear if facing
uphill or reverse if facing downhill) and
leave the wheels turned;
stop the engine and engage the
handbrake;
always remove the ignition key.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a
stone if the car is parked on a steep
slope.
Do not leave the ignition key on MAR to
avoid draining the battery. Always
remove the key when you leave the car.
Versions with Dualogic
transmission
To park safely it is essential to engage
1
stgear or reverse (R), with your foot on
the brake pedal and, if there is a
gradient, to operate the handbrake.
Before releasing the brake pedal, wait
until P appears on the display.
IMPORTANT NEVER leave the car with
the gearbox in neutral (or, on versions
equipped with automatic transmission,
before placing the gear lever at P).HANDBRAKE
124) 125) 126)
The handbrake lever fig. 74 is located
between the two front seats.
Handbrake engagement
To use the handbrake pull the lever
upwards until the car cannot be moved.
When the handbrake is on and the
ignition key is at MAR position, the
warning light
will appear on the
instrument panel.
Handbrake disengagement

protects the electric power steering.START&STOP
SYSTEM
130) 131) 132) 133)
46)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Start&Stop system automatically
stops the engine each time the car
is stationary and starts it again when
the driver wants to move off.
In this way, the vehicle efficiency is
increased, by reducing consumption,
dangerous gas emissions and sound
pollution.
OPERATING MODE
Stopping the engine
With manual transmission: with the car
stationary, the engine stops with the
transmission in neutral and the clutch
pedal released.
With Dualogic gearbox: the engine
stops if the car is at a standstill and the
brake pedal is pressed. This condition
can be maintained even if the brake
pedal is not depressed, if the gear lever
is in position N (Neutral).NOTE The engine can only be stopped
automatically over about 10 km/h, to
prevent the engine from being
repeatedly stopped when driving at
walking pace.
Stopping of the engine is indicated by
the warning light or the symbol
on
the instrument panel switching on
(on some versions, together with a
message on the display).
Restarting the engine
With manual transmission: press the
clutch pedal.
With Dualogic gearbox: if the gear lever
is in position N (Neutral), place it in
any other gear, otherwise release the
brake pedal or move the gear lever
to+,–or R (Reverse).
