❒value for range to empty lower than 50 km or fuel
level below 4 litres; in this event before “- - - -”
the message “Warning, limited range” will be
displayed (this message will be displayed also if not

❒in case of car parked with engine running for a
long period, when the car moves off the range to
empty indication will be displayed again.
Travelled distance= shows the km (or miles)
covered from last reset (*).
Average fuel consumption= shows the average
consumption calculated from last reset (*), this value
can be expressed in l/100 km, km/l or mpg.
Instant consumption= shows the fuel consumption
variation updated every second, it can be expressed in
l/100 km or mpg. In case of car parked with engine
running the display will show “- - - -”. When the car

– “automatic”, reset is performed when the travelled
distance reaches 9999.9 km or when Travel time
reaches 99:59 (99 hours and 59 minutes)
– after reconnecting the battery.
IMPORTANT Lacking information, Trip computer
values are displayed with “- - - -”. When normal
operating condition is reset, calculation of different
units will restart regularly. Values displayed before the
failure will not be reset (*).
IMPORTANT After battery disconnection/connection
certain displayed values are equal to “- - - -” until
significant data for calculation are available.

WARNINGAny adjustment of the steering wheel position must be carried out only with the

control of the compressor activation is restored; this
condition is indicated by button led lighting up.
When the air conditioner compressor is off, the
system deactivates air recirculation to prevent window
misting up. Although the system is still able to maintain
the required temperature, the message FULL on the
display will go off. If the system is no longer able to
keep the required temperature, also the message
AUTO will turn off.
IMPORTANT Air at a temperature lower than that of
the outside air cannot be let into the passenger
compartment when the compressor is off.
Furthermore, in particular environmental conditions,
the windows could mist up fast because the air is no
longer dehumidified.Setting will be stored also when the engine is stopped.
Either press again button
√(in this case the system
operates as heater only) or AUTO to reset automatic
control of the compressor.
With compressor off, if the outside temperature is
higher than the set temperature, the system cannot
reach the required temperature. This will be signalled
by the flashing of set temperature value on the display
for a few seconds, then the message AUTO will go off.
When the compressor is off, it is possible to reset
manually the fan speed (no bar displayed).
When the compressor is on and the engine is running,
fan speed cannot be lower than the minimum (one bar
