Air distribution selection
By pressing the buttons//,it
is possible to set one of the 5 possible
air distributions manually:
Air flow to the windscreen and front
side window vents 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 vents. This air distribution
setting heats the passenger
compartment most quickly, giving a
prompt sensation of warmth.
+Air flow distributed between
footwell vents (hotter air) and
central and side dashboard
vents (cooler air). This air
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.
In AUTO mode, the climate control
system automatically manages air
distribution (the LEDs on buttons 7 are
off). When set manually, the airdistribution 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, the 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&Stop(where provided)
The automatic climate control system
manages the Start&Stop system
(engine off when vehicle speed is equal
to 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).

KNOWING YOUR CAR

IMPORTANT
2)The system uses a coolant that is compatible with the laws in force in the countries where the vehicle is sold, R134a or R1234yf (indicated
on a specific plate in the engine compartment). The use of other coolants affects the efficiency and condition of the system. Also the
compressor coolants used must be compatible with the indicated coolant.

ignition device at MAR and for about 3
minutes after the ignition device
switches to STOP (or key removed).
When one of the front doors is opened
this operation is disabled.

exposed to the risk of being injured either
directly by the moving window or through
objects getting caught or hit by it. When
leaving the vehicle (equipped with
mechanical key with remote control),
always remove the key from the ignition
device to prevent accidental operation of

raise the bonnet and, at the same
time, release the bonnet stay 3
fig. 40 from its locking device, then
insert the end of the stay in the housing
4 in the bonnet.
IMPORTANT Before raising the bonnet,
make sure that the arms of the wipers
are not raised from the windscreen and
that the wiper is not operational.
23) 24) 25)
CLOSING
26)
Proceed as follows:
hold the bonnet up with one hand
and with the other remove the stay 3
fig. 40 from the housing 4 and fit it back
in locking device;
lower the bonnet to approximately
40 centimetres from the engine
compartment and let it drop. Make surethat the bonnet is completely closed
and not only fastened by the locking
device by trying to open it. If it is not
perfectly closed, do not try to press the
bonnet lid down but open it and repeat
the procedure.
IMPORTANT Always check that the
bonnet is closed correctly to prevent it
from opening while the vehicle is
travelling.
WARNING
23)Perform these operations only when
the car is stationary.
24)The bonnet may drop suddenly if the
supporting rod is not positioned correctly.
25)Use both hands to lift the bonnet.
Before lifting, check that the windscreen
wiper arms are not raised from the
windscreen, that the vehicle is stationary
and that the parking brake is engaged.
26)For safety reasons, the bonnet must
always be properly closed while the car is
travelling. Therefore, make sure that the
bonnet is properly closed and that the lock
is engaged. If you discover that the bonnet
is not perfectly closed during travel, stop
immediately and close the bonnet in the
correct manner.
DUALDRIVE
ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING
This only operates with the key turned
to MAR and the engine started. The
electric steering allows the force
required at the steering wheel to be
adjusted to suit driving conditions.
POWER STEERING
ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
27) 28)
Activation/deactivation:
Press the fig. 41 button.
The activation of the function is
signalled by a visual indication (CITY) on
the instrument panel or, based on the
version, on the display.4004196J0003EM
41P2000025-000-000
33

When the CITY function is on, the
steering wheel effort is lighter, making
parking easier: therefore, this function is
particularly useful for driving in city
centres.
To ensure steering uniformity, when the
key is pressed while the steering wheel
is being turned, the change of force will
only be felt when it is turned in the
opposite direction, or the steering
wheel is released.
WARNING
27)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installation of anti-theft
device) that could adversely affect
performance, invalidate the warranty, cause
serious safety problems and also result in
the car not meeting type-approval
requirements.
28)Before performing any maintenance
operations, always stop the engine and
remove the key from the ignition to lock the
steering column (especially when the car
wheels are not touching the ground). If this
is not possible (for example if the key
needs to be turned to MAR or the engine
must be running), remove the main fuse
that protects the electric power steering.
