– stationary: with the “programma-
ble heater” mode controlled by the
timer, the system conditions are con-
trolled by CONNECT.
The timer is automatically deacti-
vated if:
– the “programmable heater” mode
function is stopped by CONNECT if,
at the timer start, the “programmable
heater” mode is activated with the re-
mote control
– if the user manually activates the
heater during the timer operation
– if the timer is activated within 3
minutes after the previous heater
shutdown
– if the user manually deactivates
the timer– if the fuel level in the tank is low
when the timer is activated. This con-
dition is indicated with a message
coming from the system and the user
must confirm activation. If the user
does not confirm activation, the timer
is deactivated. The fuel level is indi-
cated by the CONNECT; if this infor-
mation is not available, it is taken into
consideration the last record before
stopping the engine
– if the timer is activated when the
heater operated by the remote control
is activated.
IMPORTANTIf the heater is in
prompt operating mode, the timer is
automatically stopped at the moment
of activation. Parameters set with the
timer are stored in the memory. If the
timer has been deactivated or
stopped, it should be manually reac-
tivated by the user.HEATER ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION WITH THE
REMOTE CONTROL (fig. 123)
Activation/deactivation of the heater
can be operated with remote control
A.
The activation signal is issued by the
remote control with a range of around
600 meters and picked up by a spe-
cific antenna placed on the car, then
it is transmitted to the supplementary
heater receiver and sent to CON-
NECT.
IMPORTANTThe maximum re-
mote control range is reached on open
land, while it is reduced in the pres-
ence of buildings.

“Automatic parking brake” function
and the press “OK”. Deactivation of
automatic operation can be achieved
also in the following way:
– turn the key to STOP(the park-
ing brake is engaged)
– turn the key back to MAR,
depress the brake pedal and at the
same time keep button Apressed for
at least 2 seconds. Warning light x
flashes thrice to indicate the auto-
matic operation deactivation.
When the key is turned again to
STOPthe parking brake will not be
engaged. The parking brake auto-
matic operation will be automatical-
ly restored when the key is turned
again to MAR.IMPORTANTIf, after the parking
brake has been disengaged, the car
starts moving at a speed higher than
the usual manual movement, deacti-
vation of the automatic mode is
immediately cancelled and the park-
ing brake is engaged.
If, after the parking
brake has been disen-
gaged, the car starts mov-
ing at a speed higher than the
usual manual movement, deacti-
vation of the automatic mode is
immediately cancelled and the
parking brake is engaged.Proceed as follows: release the
accelerator pedal, press and keep
button A(fig. 133) pressed for the
whole manoeuvre: the system elec-
tronic control unit will come imme-
diately into action with alternate
braking on/off cycles on the rear
wheels (thus preventing wheel lock-
ing). Braking cycles are applied
alternately on right and left wheel to
guarantee roadholding, braking
continuity and to reduce braking
distance.
Wheel locking could take place
under the safety speed threshold
(lower than 10 km/h).
A buzzer will sound during the
whole manoeuvre to indicate that
the dynamic mode shall only be used
in an emergency, but this is also use-
ful to warn the driver if the parking
brake has been inadvertently
engaged by other passengers.
Use in an emergency
In particular cases (e.g. fault in the
whole hydraulic brake system, both
service and emergency brake), the
parking brake can be used to stop
the car running (“dynamic mode”).
