SPEEDOMETER Fig. 22
Indicates the car’s speed.
REV. COUNTER Fig. 23
This indicates the engine revolution per
minute.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection
control system gradually shuts off the flow
of fuel when the engine is ‘over-revving’
resulting in a gradual loss of engine pow-
er.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter
may indicate a gradual or sudden increase
of the speed.
This is normal and does not indicate a
fault. It may be caused, for example, by the
operation of the climate control system
or fan. In these case, a slow change in en-
gine speed is used to protect the battery
charge.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE Fig. 24
The instrument shows the litres of fuel
contained in the tank (see the “Refuelling”
paragraph for a description).

AIR DISTRIBUTION
The ring D-fig. 60is used to make fresh
air reach the entire passenger compart-
ment. There are five selections:
«air from central vents and side vents
2 and 4 fig. 57;
Δair from central side vents 2 and 4 and
downward vents 5 and 6 fig. 57 (bi-
level function);
≈air downwards (5) and (6) fig. 57;
ƒair downwards (5) and (6); and to-
wards the windscreen (3) at the same
time fig. 57;
-for demisting and defrosting the wind-
screen (3) and the front side windows
(1) fig. 57.SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
Proceed as follows:
Turn the ring B-fig. 60(indicator point-
ing to the red sector) rightwards to turn
the temperature up or leftwards to turn
it down;
ADJUSTING THE FAN SPEED
To ventilate the passenger compartment
properly proceed as follows:
❒fully open the central (4) and side (2)
air vents fig. 57;
❒turn the ring B-fig. 60to the blue
sector;
❒turn knob Ato the required speed;
❒turn the ring Dto «;
❒stop internal air recirculation by turn-
ing knob E to Ú.ACTIVATING THE INTERNAL
AIR RECIRCULATION
Turn knob Eto
….
It is advisable to switch internal air recir-
culation on while standing in queues or in
tunnels to prevent the introduction of pol-
luted air. Do not use the function for a
long time, particularly if there are many
occupants on board, to prevent the win-
dows from misting up.
IMPORTANT The air recirculation system
makes it possible to reach the required
heating or cooling conditions faster. Do
not use the air recirculation function on
rainy/cold days as it would considerably
increase the possibility of the windows
misting inside.

Manual intervention is only required for
the following functions during fully auto-
matic operation.
❒MONOto uniform the temperature
and the air distribution on front pas-
senger or rear passenger zones to the
driver’s zone;
❒…air recirculation, to keep it always
on or off;
❒-to speed up demisting/defrosting of
windscreen, side windows, rear window
and door mirrors;
❒(to demist/defrost the heated rear
window and the external rearview
mirrors.
During completely automatic system op-
eration, you can vary the set temperature,
the air distribution and the fan speed us-
ing the corresponding buttons or knobs
at any time: the system will automatically
change settings to adapt to the new re-
quest.
During fully automatic operation (FULL
AUTO), the word FULLwill dissapear
if the air distribution, air speed, compres-
sor and/or recirculation settings are
changed. In this way, the functions will
switch from automatic to manual control until AUTOis pressed again. The fan
speed is the same in all the zones of the
passenger compartment.
With on or more manually set functions,
the introduced air temperature is still
managed automatically by the system, ex-
cept for when the compressor is off: in the
case, the air introduced into the passen-
ger compartment cannot be cooler than
the outside air.
CONTROLS FOR
H-N air
temperature setting
knobs
Turn the knobs clock-
wise or anticlockwise to
turn the temperature up
or down in the front left
zone (knob N) and the
right zone (knob H) of
the passenger compart-
ment respectively.
The system manages two passenger com-
partment zones: the driver and passen-
ger can therefore select different tem-
peratures. The maximum difference be-
tween the two zones is 7°C.
The set temperature is shown on the dis-
play near the knobs.Press A(MONO) to automatically align
the temperature in the front passenger
zone to the driver’s side temperature. The
same temperature can be set in both
zones by turning knob N on driver’s side.
This function is used to adjust the tem-
perature in the passenger compartment
when the driver only is in the car.
To go back to separate air and tempera-
ture distribution in the two zones of the
passenger compartment, simply turn the
knobs H or press (A-MONO) when the
LED on the button is on.
Turn the knobs either all to the right or
all to the left to the extreme HIor LO
positions to use the maximum heating or
maximum cooling functions:
❒HIfunction (maximum heating):
select by turning the temperature knob
clockwise over the maximum value
(32 °C). It can be operated from either
by the driver or by the front passenger
(by selecting the MONOfunction).
This function may be used to cool down
the passenger compartment as fast as
possible and exploit the system potential
to the maximum. The function uses the
