Depending on the temperature set by
the user, the automatic climate control
system automatically regulates the
temperature, flow and distribution of the
passenger compartment air, as well as
the recirculation function. These
settings can be changed by the user,
putting the climate control system
in manual mode (the LED on the AUTO
1 fig. 29 button turns off).
1. AUTO button: automatic climate
control function on
2.
button: climate control system
compressor on or off. The LED
on the button is on when the
compressor is turned on.
3. OFF button: turns the climate
control system off
4.
button: air recirculation on or
off. It is inadvisable to use air
recirculation when the outside
temperature is low, since the
windows could mist rapidly.
5.
buttons: temperature setting.
Pressing the
button increases the
passenger compartment
temperature, pressing the
button
decreases it.6.
buttons: fan speed
adjustment. Pressing the
button
increases the passenger
compartment air flow, pressing the
button decreases it.

windscreen and front side window
vents to demist or defrost them.
8.
button: directs air flow to the
central and side dashboard vents to
ventilate the body and face during
the hot season.
9.
button: directs air flow to the
front seat feet area vents. Due to the
natural tendency of heat to spread
upwards, this type of distribution
warms the passenger compartment
up as quickly as possible, providing
an immediate feeling of warmth.
10.
button: heated rear window
demisting/defrosting.
11.
button: front window fast
demisting/defrosting. The function
remains active for approximately
3 minutes after the coolant
temperature exceeds 50°C
IMPORTANT In warm-humid weather
conditions, using cold air on the
windscreen may cause external
condensation, which could limit
visibility.
WARNING
3)The system uses a coolant that is
compatible with the laws in force in
countries where the vehicle is sold, R134a
or R1234yf. When charging, only use the
gas indicated on the dedicated plate in the
engine compartment . The use of other
coolants affects the efficiency and
condition of the system. The lubricant used
for the compressor is also strictly linked
to the refrigerant gas type, refer to the
Abarth Dealership.
