D - climate control system compressor activation/deactivation button (not available for versions with heater only);
E - air distribution knob:
air flow from central and side ventsair flow from central vents, side vents and front / rear footwell ventsair outlet from the front and rear footwell diffusers and a light air flow also from the side vents on the dashboardair outlet from the front and rear footwell diffusers, to the windscreen, the side windows and a light air flow also at the side
vents on the dashboardair outlet to the windscreen, the side windows and a light air flow also at the side vents on the dashboard
4 further intermediate positions are also possible in the 5 main distributions described above.
F - Heated rear window on/off button;
Selecting the windscreen air distribution activates the climate control system compressor (LED on A/C button on) and the air
recirculation is set to "outside air" (LED on button B off). This logic guarantees optimum visibility at the windows. The driver can
always set air recirculation and climate control system compressor.
Additional heater(where provided)
The additional heater ensures more rapid passenger compartment heating.
It activates in cold weather conditions, if the following conditions are verified:
❒outside temperature low;
❒engine coolant temperature low;
❒engine started;
❒fan speed set at least to 1
stspeed;
❒knob C turned completely clockwise to red section.
The heater is switched off when at least one of the conditions above is no longer verified.
NoteThe power of the electric heater is modulated according to the battery voltage.

Air distribution selection
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 diffusers (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 vents and windscreen and front side vents. This distribution setting allows the
passenger compartment to be warmed up efficiently and prevents the windows from misting up.
+
Air flow distributed between central and side dashboard vents and windscreen and front side window vents. This
distribution allows air to be sent to the windscreen in conditions of strong sunlight.
+
+
Air flow distribution to all diffusers on the vehicle.
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 indicated by the LEDs on the selected buttons switching on. In combined function mode the
relevant function is enabled simultaneously with those already set by pressing the corresponding button. If a button whose
function is already active is pressed, its operation is cancelled and the corresponding LED switches off. To restore automatic
control of the air distribution after a manual selection, press the AUTO button.
Start&StopThe automatic dual zone climate control system manages the Start&Stop system (engine off when vehicle speed is 0 km/h) to
ensure adequate comfort inside the vehicle. When the Start&Stop system is on (engine off and vehicle at a standstill), the
automatic recirculation management is turned off always taking air in from outside, to reduce the probability of the windows
misting up (as the compressor is off).
WARNING
2)The system uses R1234YF coolant, which does not pollute the environment in the event of accidental leakage. Under no circumstances
use R134a and R12 fluids, which are incompatible with the components of the system.

The direction indicators will blink twice
and the internal roof light will
simultaneously come on when the boot
is opened; the roof light will
automatically switch off when the
tailgate is closed (see also "Interior
lights").
If the tailgate is left open, the roof light
will automatically switch off to preserve
the battery charge.Emergency opening from the insideProceed as follows:
❒lower the head restraints and fold the
backrests;
❒identify and remove yellow guard A
fig. 44, which is press-fitted on the lock,
using the screwdriver provided;
❒insert the screwdriver in order to
activate tab B fig. 45, for mechanical
release of the lock.
CLOSINGGrip handle A fig. 46 and lower the
tailgate, pressing next to the lock until it
clicks.
IMPORTANT Before closing the boot
make sure that you have the keys since
the boot is automatically locked.

LOAD COMPARTMENT
Reconfigurable load platform
12)
The vehicle is equipped with a
reconfigurable load platform A, which
makes the boot volume modular.
The load platform can be set to 2
different positions:
❒Floor level (low)fig. 47: allows you
to exploit the entire volume of the boot.
❒Threshold level (high)fig. 48: in
conjunction with the lowering of the rear
seat and front passenger side seat
backrests, permits long objects to be
loaded. It also facilitates loading/
unloading of objects in the boot. It also
allows the space underneath (false
bottom) to be used as a further
compartment for stowing objects which
are more fragile or small.

IMPORTANT The use of hazard warning
lights is governed by the highway
code of the country you are driving in:
comply with legal requirements.

GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS❒Before replacing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
❒replace blown bulbs with others of
the same type and power;
❒after replacing a headlight bulb,
always check its alignment;
❒when a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before replacing the bulb. For the
location of fuses, refer to the paragraph
“Replacing fuses” in this chapter.IMPORTANT When the weather is cold
or damp or after heavy rain or washing,
the surface of headlights or rear lights
may steam up and/or form drops of
condensation on the inside. This is
a natural phenomenon due to the
difference in temperature and humidity
between the inside and the outside
of the glass which does not indicate a
fault and does not compromise the
normal operation of lighting devices.
The mist disappears quickly when the
lights are turned on, starting from
the centre of the diffuser, extending
progressively towards the edges.

WARNING
51)Halogen bulbs must be handled by
holding the metallic part only. Touching the
transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even reduce the lifespan
of the bulb. In the case of accidental
contact, rub the lamp with a cloth and
alcohol and leave to dry.
