towards the front seat feet area diffusers. Due
to the natural tendency of heat to rise, this
type of distribution warms the passenger
compartment up as quickly as possible,
providing an immediate feeling of warmth.+
distribution between feet area diffusers
(warmest air) and dashboard vents
(coolest air).
+
distribution between feet area diffusers
and windscreen/front side window
diffusers. This type of distribution
achieves effective heating of the
passenger compartment and prevents
the windows from misting up.
Button B MAX
- MAX-DEF function
activation
When theMAXbutton
is pressed, the system
activates all the functions required for fast
demisting/defrosting, that is:
❒compressor on (if the weather conditions are
suitable)
❒air recirculation off
❒maximum air temperature setting (HI)
❒fan speed determined according to the coolant
temperature
❒air flow conveyed to the windscreen and front
side windows❒Button C
- Climate control compressor
activation/deactivation
When the
symbol is lit on the display, press
button C to switch off the compressor.
When the compressor is deactivated:
❒the system will deactivate air recirculation to
prevent the windows from misting up;
❒it is not possible to convey air to the passenger
compartment with a temperature below the
outside temperature (the temperature indicated
on the display will flash when the system cannot
guarantee the required comfort conditions);
❒the fan speed can be manually reset (with
compressor enabled, ventilation cannot go
below a bar shown on the display).

IMPORTANT Internal air recirculation makes it
possible to reach the required heating or cooling
conditions more quickly depending on the mode
selected. It is not advisable to switch the air
recirculation on when it is rainy/cold to prevent
the windows from misting, especially if the climate
control system has not been activated. It is
advisable to switch the internal air recirculation
on whilst queuing or in tunnels to prevent the
introduction of polluted air. Do not use the
function for a long time, particularly if there are
several passengers on board, to prevent the
windows from misting.
CLIMATE CONTROL COMPRESSOR
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
Press button
to switch on the climate control
compressor.
Compressor activation:

❒
symbol on display disappears;
❒internal air recirculation excluded;
With the climate control compressor switched off,
air cannot be introduced into the passenger
compartment that has a lower temperature than
the outside air; in this case the
symbol in the
display will flash.
The deactivation of the climate control compressor
is memorised even after the engine has stopped.
To reactivate the climate control compressor, press
button
or AUTO again: if you press AUTO,
the other manual settings will be cancelled.AIR DISTRIBUTION SELECTION
Press one or more of buttons A to manually select
one of the possible air distribution settings for
the passenger compartment:
Air flow to the windscreen and front side
window diffusers to demist/defrost them.Air flow to the footwell diffusers. This air
distribution allows the passenger
compartment to be warmed up quickly.Air flow distribution to centre/side dashboard
diffusers (passenger's body).+
Air flow distributed between footwell
diffusers and windscreen and front side
window defrosting/demisting diffusers.
This distribution setting allows the
passenger compartment to be warmed
effectively and prevents the windows
from misting.
+
Air flow distribution between footwell
diffusers (hotter air) and centre/side
dashboard diffusers (cooler air).
IMPORTANT For the climate control system to
function, at least one of the buttons A must be
operated. The system does not allow the
deactivation of all the buttons A.

IMPORTANT Push the OFF button to turn the
climate control system back on: in this way, all
operating conditions memorised before switching
off are restored.
To restore automatic control of the air distribution
after a manual selection, press the AUTO button.

START&STOP
Automatic Climate Control
The automatic climate control manages the
Start&Stop function (engine off when the car
speed is zero) to guarantee adequate comfort
inside the passenger compartment.
In particular, when the weather is extremely hot,
the Start&Stop function is deactivated until
adequate passenger compartment comfort is
ensured. During these transitory stages the engine
is not stopped, even if the car speed is zero.
When the Start&Stop function is active (engine off
at zero car speed), the climate control system will
request the reactivation of the engine if the inside
temperature conditions rapidly deteriorate (or if
the user requests maximum cooling – LO – or
quick demisting – MAX DEF).
With Start&Stop function active (engine off at
zero car speed), the air flow rate (if managed
automatically) is reduced in order to maintain the
passenger compartment comfort conditions for
as long as possible.The climate control system control unit attempts
to manage the decreased comfort caused by
stopping the engine as far as possible (switching
off the compressor and engine coolant pump) but
the operation of the climate control system can
be favoured by deactivating the Start&Stop
function using the dedicated button on the
dashboard.
NOTEIn particularly severe climate conditions it
is recommended to limit the use of the Start&Stop
function to prevent the compressor from
continuously switching on and off, with
consequent rapid misting of the windows and
accumulation of humidity with unpleasant smells
in the passenger compartment.

following conditions:
❒presence of dirt on the controlled surface (salt,
dirt, etc.);
❒presence of streaks of water caused by the worn
window wiper blades;
❒difference between day and night.
Do not activate the rain sensor when

wash.Make sure the device is switched off if
there is ice on the windscreen.
WARNING
Make sure the device is switched off
whenever the windscreen must be
cleaned.REAR WINDOW WASHER/ WIPER
It can be operated only with the ignition key
turned to MAR.
Activation
Turn the ring nut B fig. 35 from
to

the rear window wiper as follows:
❒in intermittent mode when the windscreen wiper
is not operating;
❒in synchronous mode (at half the speed of the
windscreen wiper) when the windscreen wiper
is operating;
❒in continuous mode with reverse gear engaged
and the control active.
With the windscreen wiper on and reverse gear
engaged, rear window wiping will be continuous.
Pushing the stalk towards the dashboard
(unstable position) the rear window washer jet
will activate. Keep the stalk pushed for more than
half a second to activate the rear window wiper
as well. Releasing the stalk will activate the smart
washing function, as described for the windscreen
wiper.
