The BSM detection zone covers approximately one lane
width on both sides of the vehicle 10 ft (3 m). The zone
length starts at the outside mirror and extends approxi-
mately 20 ft (6 m) beyond the rear bumper of the vehicle.
The BSM system monitors the detection zones on both
sides of the vehicle when the vehicle speed reaches
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) or higher and will alert
the driver of vehicles in these areas.
NOTE:
•The BSM system does NOT alert the driver about
rapidly approaching vehicles that are outside the de-
tection zones.
•The BSM system detection zone DOES NOT change if
your vehicle is towing a trailer. Therefore, visually
verify the adjacent lane is clear for both your vehicle
and trailer before making a lane change. If the trailer or
other object (i.e., bicycle, sports equipment) extends
beyond the side of your vehicle, this may result in the
BSM warning light remaining illuminated the entire
time the vehicle is in a forward gear. It may be
necessary to deactivate BSM system manually by
related menu to avoid a miss-detection.
The area on the rear fascia where the radar sensors are
located must remain free of snow, ice, and dirt/road
contamination so that the BSM system can function
properly. Do not block the radar sensors located on the
rear fascia with foreign objects (bumper stickers, bicycle
racks, etc.).

Air Recirculation
Push and release the Air Recirculation button so that the
LED is on, to enter recirculation mode. It is recommended
to turn the internal air recirculation on while standing in
traffic or in tunnels to prevent the introduction of pol-
luted air.
Do not use the function for a long period of time,
particularly if there are many passengers in the vehicle,
to prevent the windows from misting up.
NOTE:Internal air recirculation makes it possible to reach
the required heating or cooling conditions quickly depend-
ing on the mode selected. Do not use the internal air
recirculation function on rainy/cold days as it would con-
siderably increase the possibility of the windows misting.
System Maintenance
In Winter, the Climate Control system must be turned on
at least once a month for approximately 10 minutes.
Have the system inspected at an authorized dealership
before the summer.
NOTE:The system uses R-1234yf (refrigerant) which
does not pollute the environment in the event of acciden-
tal leakage. Under no circumstances is the use of R-134a
(refrigerant) allowed.

Description
The Automatic Dual Zone Climate Control system regu-
lates the air temperatures in the passenger compartment
in two zones: driver side and passenger side.
The system maintains comfort inside the passenger com-
partment and compensates for possible variations in
external climate conditions.
The Climate Control system can recognize extremely cold
(or extremely hot) conditions in the passenger compart-
ment and provide optimal management of the system’s
capabilities.
NOTE:The reference temperature is 72° F (22° C) for
optimal comfort management.

•Heated rear window
•System deactivation
NOTE:The Climate Control system detects the passenger
compartment temperature using a temperature sensor
located in the interior rearview mirror and protected by a
specific cover. Obstructing the field of view of this sensor
with any object could cause the climate control system to
operate with less than optimal efficiency.
Turning On The Climate Control System
The Climate Control system can be turned on in different
ways: it is recommended to push the AUTO button and
turn the Temperature Control knobs to set the desired
temperatures.
The system operates automatically to adjust the tempera-
ture, quantity and distribution of the air introduced into
the passenger compartment. It also manages the air
recirculation function and the activation of the air condi-
tioning compressor.
During automatic operation, you can change the set
temperatures, air distribution and blower speed at any
time by using the relevant buttons or knobs: the system
will automatically change the settings to adjust to the
new requirements.
During automatic operation (AUTO), varying the air
flow and/or distribution (which are not displayed)
causes the AUTO function LED to turn off and the system
to operate in MANUAL mode (displaying both the flow
and distribution requested).
When the compressor is deactivated, the AUTO opera-
tion remains active only if the system can guarantee
in-car comfort. Otherwise, the system changes to
124 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

MANUAL mode (the set temperatures will flash on the
display). The blower speed is the same in all the zones of
the passenger compartment.
Adjusting The Air Temperature
Rotate the Driver Temperature Control, or the Passenger
Temperature Control, dial clockwise or counter-
clockwise, to adjust the air temperature in the front left
(Driver Temperature Control) or right (Passenger Tem-
perature Control) zone of the passenger compartment.
The set temperatures are shown on the displays.
Push the SYNC button to align the air temperature
between the two zones.
Turn the Passenger Temperature Control knob to return
to the separate management of air temperatures in the
two zones.
Turning the control knobs completely in one direction or
the other activates the#HI#(maximum heating) or#LO#
(maximum cooling) functions respectively.
To deactivate these functions, turn the temperature knob
to the desired temperature.
Air Distribution Selection
By pushing the Mode Control buttons (Defrost/Panel/
Floor buttons), it is possible to set one of the seven
possible air distributions manually by activating one or
more mode buttons:
•Defrost Mode – Air flow to the windshield and front
side window diffusers to defrost them. Use Defrost
mode with maximum temperature settings for best
windshield and side window defrosting. When the
defrost mode is selected, the blower will automatically
default to medium-high.

In automatic operation, recirculation is managed auto-
matically by the system according to outside environ-
mental conditions.
NOTE:
•Use of the recirculation system makes it possible to
reach the required heating/cooling conditions faster. It
is not recommended to use it on rainy/cold days as it
would considerably increase the possibility of the
windows misting up inside (especially if the Climate
Control system is off). When the outside temperature
is low, recirculation is forced off (air drawn in from the
outside) to prevent the windows from misting up.
•It is not recommended to use internal air recirculation
when the outside temperature is low, since the win-
dows could mist up rapidly.
Climate Control System Compressor
Push the A/C Control button to activate/deactivate the
compressor (activation is indicated by the LED on the
button turning on).
The system remembers that the compressor has been
turned off, even after the engine has stopped.
When the compressor is turned off, the system deacti-
vates air recirculation to prevent the windows from
misting up.
Pushing the A/C button will stop AUTO MODE (AUTO
LED will turn off). To restore automatic control of com-
pressor, push the AUTO button again.
NOTE:With the compressor off, air cannot be introduced
to the passenger compartment with a temperature lower
than the outside temperature. Under certain environmen-
tal conditions, windows could mist rapidly since the air
is not dehumidified.

NOTE:The Front Defrost Control (MAX-DEF) function
remains on for approximately three minutes from when
the engine coolant reaches the appropriate temperature.
When the function is activated, the AUTO button LED
turns off. With the function activated, the only possible
manual adjustments are adjusting the fan speed and
turning the heated rear window off.
When the Recirculation Control, Rear Defrost Control , or
AUTO buttons are pushed, the Climate Control system
will deactivate the Front Defrost (MAX-DEF) function.
Selecting the footwell/windshield or only windshield
distribution activates the Climate Control system com-
pressor (LED on A/C button on) and the air recirculation
is set to#outside air#intake (LED on the recirculation
button off).
This logic guarantees optimum visibility at the windows.
It is, however, always possible to manage air recirculation
and the Climate Control system compressor manually.
Rear Window Defrosting
Push and release the rear window defrost button to turn
the function on/off.
Activation of this function is indicated by the rear defrost
indicator light on the instrument panel turning on. The
function is automatically deactivated after 20 minutes.
If equipped, push the rear defrost button to activate the
defrosting of door mirrors and heated rear window.
CAUTION!
To avoid causing damage to the rear window de-
froster heating filaments do not affix stickers or other
objects to the inside of the rear glass.
