ACCESS TO MENU SCREEN
After the “Initial check”, it is possible to access the menu screen pressing the button
Q.
To surf the menu press buttons +or –.
IMPORTANT If after entering the menu no setting/adjustment is performed within 60 seconds, the system exits the
menu automatically and returns to previously displayed screen.
In this case the last selected but not confirmed setting (through button
Q) is not stored and therefore the
operation shall be repeated.
When the car is running, it is possible to access only the reduced menu (for setting “Speed limit” and “Daylight
sensor automatic headlights”).
When the car is stationary access to the whole menu is enabled.
The following diagram shows the cases described.
Q= Press “MODE” button for less than two seconds
R= Press “MODE” button for over two seconds

DAYLIGHT SENSOR AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS (Light Sensor) (where provided)
With this function it is possible to adjust the light sensor sensitivity according to 3 levels (level 1 = min. level, level 2
= average level, level 3 = max. level); the higher the sensitivity is, the lower is the external light intensity required to
switch on the lights. This operation can be performed also with the car moving. The car is delivered with this setting
on level “2”. To set the light level required, proceed as follows:

AUTOMATIC TWO-ZONE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM (where provided)
GENERAL
The car is fitted with a two-zone climate control
system which makes it possible to separately adjust the
air temperature on the driver’s side and on the
passenger’s side. Temperature control is based on the
“equivalent temperature” logic, i.e.: the system
continuously works to keep constant the comfort
inside the passenger compartment and to compensate
any variation of the outside climate conditions,
including sunshine detected by a proper sensor
provided for the purpose.
The climate control system automatically controls and
adjusts the following parameters and functions:
❒air temperature at driver/front passenger vents;
❒air distribution at driver/front passenger vents;
❒fan speed (continuous air flow variation);❒compressor switching on (to cool/dehumidify air);
❒air recirculation.
All the above functions can be changed manually at any
time, i.e.: you can always modify one or more function
settings. In this event, the system will no longer
implement the automatic control of the functions
changed manually (except for safety reasons, e.g.: risk
of window misting).
Manual selections prevail over automatic ones and
remain in storage until the user decides to resume
automatic control, except when the system cuts in for
particular safety conditions.
The control of functions not changed manually remains
automatic.
The amount of air admitted to the passenger
compartment does not depend on the car speed, since
it is electronically controlled by the fan.
In any case, the temperature of the air admitted to the
passenger compartment is controlled automatically
(except when the system is off) according to the
temperatures set on the driver’s and front passenger’s
displays or under certain climatic conditions if the
compressor is off).

AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS SENSOR (daylight sensor)
(where provided)
It detects the changes of the external light intensity of the car according
to the light sensitivity set: greater is the sensitivity, smaller is the amount
of external light necessary to control the switching-on of the exterior
headlights. The daylight sensor sensitivity can be adjusted with the “Set-
up menu” of “Reconfigurable multifunction display”.
Activation
Turn the knurled ring to
2A: in this way, the automatic activation of the
side/taillights and dipped beam headlights is simultaneously enabled
according to the external luminosity.
When the daylight sensor is on, the display shows the preset sensitivity
level. During displaying, the sensitivity level can be adjusted using buttons
+and –.
Deactivation
As a result of the sensor control, the dipped beam headlights will switch
off and, after about 10 seconds, sidelights will switch off too.
If during automatic light activation,
main beam headlights have been switched on (manually), they will go off
at automatic light switching off.
IMPORTANT The light sensor is not able to detect the fog presence,
lights shall therefore be switched on manually.

“Smart washing” function
Pulling the stalk towards the steering wheel (unstable position) operates
the windscreen washer.
Keeping the stalk pulled for over half a second, with just one movement
it is possible to operate the washer jet and the wiper at the same time.
Releasing the stalk will stop the washer jet immediately whereas the
wiper stops working four strokes later.
A further “cleaning stroke” after five seconds, completes the wiping
operation.
RAIN SENSOR (where provided)
The rain sensor (A) is located behind the driving mirror in contact with
the windscreen and has the purpose of automatically adjust, during the
intermittent operation, the frequency of the windscreen wiper strokes as
to the rain intensity.
IMPORTANT Keep clean the glass in the sensor area.
Activation
Move the right-hand stalk downwards by one position.
The activation of the rain sensor is signalled by a control acquisition
“stroke”.

Turning the knurled ring (F) it is possible to increase the sensitivity of the
rain sensor.
The increase of the sensitivity of the rain sensor is signalled by a control
and acquisition “stroke”.
Operating the windscreen washer with the rain sensor activated will start
the smart washing function (without the additional cleaning stroke after
five seconds), at the end of which the rain sensor resumes its normal
automatic function.
Deactivation
Remove the stalk from position (B) or turn the ignition key to STOP.
At the following starting operation (key at MAR), the sensor will not be
reactivated even if the stalk is still at (B). To activate the rain sensor,
move the stalk to (A) or (C) and then again to (B) or turn the sensitivity
adjustment knurled ring.
Rain sensor activation is indicated by a wiper “stroke”.
The rain sensor is able to recognize and automatically adjust itself in the
presence of the following particular conditions:
❒impurities on the controlled surface (salt, dirt, etc.);
❒difference between day and night.

PARKING SENSORS (where provided)
The parking sensors are located on the rear bumper and their function is to
inform the driver, through an intermittent buzzer, about the presence of
obstacles in the rear part of the car.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated when the reverse gear is
engaged.
As the distance from the obstacle behind the car decreases, the acoustic
alarm becomes more frequent.
BUZZER WARNINGS
When the reverse gear is engaged an intermittent acoustic signal is
automatically activated.
The acoustic signal:
❒becomes louder as the reduction of distance between the car and the
obstacle decreases;
❒becomes continuous when the distance between the car and the
obstacle is less that 30 cm and stops if the distance raises;
❒is constant if the distance is unvaried. If this situation takes place for
side sensors, the signal is stopped after about 3 seconds to prevent
sound indications when performing manoeuvres near walls.
Direction distances
The central detecting range varies according to car engine type/set-up
version: detection range is 140 cm. For small size obstacles (or in case of
parking deterrent blocks that are round shaped) it is 70 cm. Side
detecting range is 60 cm.
If several obstacles are detected, the control unit indicates the nearest
one.
