HEATING (fig. 95)
To obtain the temperature required, pro-
ceed as follows:
- temperature adjustment knob pointer
(1) on the red sector as required;
- air quantity adjustment knob pointer
(2) on the fan speed required to person-
alise the amount of air admitted;
- air distribution knob pointer (3) on the
required position.
To obtain the maximum heating power
proceed as follows:
- knob pointer (1) as far as it will go clock-
wise (maximum temperature red sector);
- knob pointer (2) on maximum fan
speed;
- air distribution knob pointer (3) on the
required position (position
w) is recom-
mended.
IMPORTANTTo be able to obtain sat-
isfactory passenger compartment warm-
ing, the engine should have reached nor-
mal operating temperature. The filter has the specific capability of fil-
tering external air, thus admitting to the
passenger compartment purified air, free
from particles such as dust, pollen, etc.
In addition to the above mentioned func-
tions, is also reduces the concentration of
pollutants.
The filtering action is active in all air inlet
conditions and it is clearly more effective
with the windows closed.
Have the conditions of the filter checked
at least once a year, preferably at the
onset of summer by Alfa Romeo
Authorised Services. If the car is habitually used in dusty or
polluted areas, the filter should be
checked and replaced at shorter intervals
than those specified in the Programmed
Maintenance Schedule.
If the filter is not replaced
the efficiency of the cli-
mate control system may
be seriously compromised up to
blocking the air flow at the outlets
and vents.
