Adjusting the central unit 
and using the ski compartment

The central unit may be lowered and

used as rear armrest. Access to the ski

compartment B-fig. 47 can be ob-

tained in this manner.

The compartment B may be used for

transporting long items (e.g. skis). In-

sert the item from the boot.

It is advisable to remove the cushion

C to prevent damage.

IMPORTANT Avoid putting the cush-

ion C in the boot in contact with

heavy loads to prevent damage.

Removing the cushion

The cushion C-fig. 48 can be re-

moved.

To remove the cushion: operate the

button D and extract if from the cen-

tral unit.

To refasten: press the button D to re-

lease it from the retainer on the seat-

back and make sure that it fastened

well.

ADJUSTING THE 
STEERING WHEEL

The steering wheel can be adjusted in

height A-fig. 52 and in depth B.

To carry out the adjustment, proceed

as follows:
❒ release the lever by pulling it to-

wards the steering wheel (position

2);

❒ adjust the steering wheel as re-

quired;

❒ release the lever  by pushing it for-

wards (position 1);

Saddle-shaped rear head
restraints optimise visibil-

ity and must always be raised it
when an occupant is present.

WARNING

fig. 52

L0D0382m

Any adjustment of the
steering wheel position

must be carried out only with the
car stationary and the engine
turned off.

WARNING

It is absolutely forbidden
to carry out whatever af-

ter-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g.: installation of
anti-theft device) that could badly
affect performance and safety,
cause the lapse of warranty and
also result in non-compliance of
the car with homologation require-
ments.

WARNING

The head restraints must
be adjusted so that they

support your neck and not your
head. Only in this way may they
perform their protective action.

WARNING

To optimise head restraint
protective action, adjust

the seat back upright and keep
your head as close as possible to
the head restraint.

WARNING

To refit the head restraint,
arrange it the right way

and then proceed as for checking
that it is locked.

AIR DISTRIBUTION

The ring E is 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;

Δ air from central side vents  2 and

4 and downward vents 5 and 6

(bi-level function);

≈ air downwards  5 and 6;

ƒ

air downwards 5 and 6 and to the

windscreen 3;

-

for demisting and defrosting the

windscreen 3 and the front side

windows 1.

ACTIVATING THE INTERNAL
AIR RECIRCULATION

Position the knob  F-fig. 59 to

…

.

It is advisable to switch internal air

recirculation on while standing in

queues or in tunnels to prevent the in-

troduction of polluted air. Do not use

the function for a long time, particu-

larly if there are many occupants on

board, to prevent the windows from

misting up.

IMPORTANT The air recirculation

system makes it possible to reach the

required  heating or cooling condi-

tions faster. Do not use the air recir-

culation function on rainy/cold days

as it would considerably increase the

possibility of the windows misting in-

side.

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE

Proceed as follows:

Turn the ring B-fig. 59 (indicator

pointing to the red sector) rightwards

to turn the temperature up or left-

wards to turn it down;

ADJUSTING THE FAN SPEED

To ventilate the passenger compart-

ment properly proceed as follows:
❒ fully open the central  4 and side

2 air vents;

❒ turn the ring B-fig. 59 to the blue

sector;

❒ turn knob A to the required speed;
❒ turn the ring E to «;
❒ stop internal air recirculation by

turning knob F to

The temperature of the air taken in is

always controlled automatically de-

pending on the temperature set on the

display (except when the system is

turned off or under certain conditions

when the compressor is off. The fol-

lowing parameters and functions can

be manually set:
❒ air temperature on driver/front

passenger side;

❒ fan speed (continuous variation);
❒ air distribution to five positions

(driver/front passenger side);

❒ compressor on;
❒ one-zone/two-zone distribution pri-

❒ fast demist/defrost function;
❒ air recirculation;
❒ heated rear window;

❒ compressor activation (to cool/

❒ air recirculation. 
All functions may be manually

changed. In order words, you may se-

lect one or more functions and change

the parameters as required. Auto-

matic control of the manually

changed functions will be suspended:

the system will change override your

settings only for safety related reasons

(e.g. risk of misting up).

Manual selections will always have

higher priority over automatic settings

and will be stored until the user

switches the system back to automatic

mode, except for the cases in which

the system will intervene for particu-

You can adjust one function automat-

ically and have the automatic system

control all the others.

The amount of air introduced into the

passenger compartment is indepen-

dent from speed of the car because the

fan is controlled by the electronic sys-

tem.

AUTOMATIC TWO-
ZONE CLIMATE 
CONTROL SYSTEM

(for versions/markets, where provided)

GENERAL INFORMATION

The two-zone automatic climate con-

trol system distributes air in the pas-

senger compartment in two zones:

driver’s and passenger’s side.  Tem-

perature is controlled on the basis of

an “equivalent temperature” princi-

ple; in other words, the system con-

tinuously works to keep the comfort

level inside the car constant and to

compensate for possible variations of

external conditions, including sun ra-

diation detected by a specific sensor.

The automatically controlled para-

meters and functions are:
❒ air temperature at the vents on dri-

ver/front passenger side;

❒ air at vents on driver/front passen-

ger side;

❒ fan speed (continuous air flow vari-

ation);

During completely automatic system

operation, you can vary the set tem-

perature, the air distribution and the

fan speed using the corresponding

buttons or knobs at any time: the sys-

tem will automatically change settings

to adapt to the new request. 

During fully automatic operation

(FULL AUTO), the word FULL will

diasspear if the air distribution, air

speed, compressor and/or recircula-

tion settings are changed. In this way,

the functions will switch from auto-

matic to manual control until AUTO

is pressed again. The fan speed is the

same in all the zones of the passenger

compartment.

With on or more manually set func-

tions, the introduced air temperature

is still managed automatically by the

system, except for when the compres-

sor is off: in the case, the air intro-

duced into the passenger compart-

ment cannot be cooler than the out-

side air.

During fully automatic operation, the

only functions that are enabled man-

ually are:
❒ MONO to uniform the tempera-

ture and the air distribution on

front passenger or rear passenger

zones to the driver’s zone;

❒

…

air recirculation, to keep it

always on or off;

❒

-

to speed up demisting/defro-

sting of windscreen, side windows,

rear window and door mirrors;

❒

(

to demist/defrost the heated

rear window and the external

rearview mirrors.

USING THE CLIMATE 
CONTROL SYSTEM

The system can be started in different

ways, but it is advisable to press one

of the AUTO buttons and then to turn

the knobs to set the temperatures re-

quired on the display.

The system manages two passenger

compartment zones: the driver and

passenger can therefore select different

temperatures. The maximum differ-

ence between the two zones is 7°C. 

The system will start running auto-

matically in this way and the set com-

fortable temperature will be reached

as quickly as possible. The system ad-

justs the temperature, amount and

distribution of air delivered to the

passenger compartment. In addition,

it manages the recirculation function

to engage the climate control system

compressor.

This function may be used to heat up

the passenger compartment as fast as

possible and exploit the system po-

tential to the maximum. The function

uses the maximum coolant tempera-

ture while air and fan speed distribu-

tion are managed by the system ac-

cording to conditions. 

Specifically, if the heating fluid is not

warm enough, the fan will not start

up at the maximum speed immedi-

ately to limit introducing excessively

cool air into the passenger compart-

ment.

All manual settings will be allowed

when this function is on.

To switch the function off, simply turn

the temperature knob anticlockwise

and set the required temperature.
❒ LO function (maximum cooling):
select by turning the temperature

knob anticlockwise under the mini-

mum value (16 °C). It can be oper-

ated from either by the driver or by

the front passenger  (by selecting the

MONO function).

This function is used to adjust the

temperature in the passenger com-
