air conditioning Alfa Romeo MiTo 2009 Owner handbook (in English)

70GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
During automatic operation the set temperatures, the air distribu-
tion and fan speed can be changed at any time using the corre-
sponding buttons or knobs: the system will automatically change
the settings to adapt to the new request.
During fully automatic operation (FULL AUTO), the word FULL will
disappear if the air distribution, air speed, compressor and/or re-
circulation settings are changed.
In this way the climate control system will continue to automati-
cally manage all functions except for those that have been man-
ually adjusted. There is only one fan speed in all the areas of the
passenger compartment.
ADJUSTING THE AIR TEMPERATURE
Turn knob N or H to the right or left to adjust the air temperature:
knob N for the front left-hand area, knob H for the front right-
hand area of the passenger compartment.
The set temperatures are shown on the display.
Press the MONO button to align the air temperature between the
two areas: to set the same temperature turn knob N.
To return to separate management of air temperature and distrib-
ution between the two areas, turn knob N or H or press the MONO
button once again (the LED on the button should be lit up).
Turn the knobs fully clockwise or counter-clockwise to engage re-
spectively HI (maximum heating) or LO (maximum cooling). To
deactivate these functions, rotate the temperature knob to the
desired temperature.
SWITCHING ON THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
The system can be switched on in several ways: we recommend
pressing one of the AUTO buttons and turning the knob to the re-
quired temperature. It is also possible to select different tempera-
tures for the driver and passenger side to a maximum temperature
difference of 7°C.
In this way the system operates completely automatically to ad-
just the temperature, quantity and distribution of the air introduced
into the passenger compartment. It also manages the air recircu-
lation system and the enablement of the air conditioning com-
pressor.
Manual intervention is only required for the following functions dur-
ing fully automatic operation:
❍MONO, to align the air temperature and distribution set on
the passenger’s side with that on the driver’s side;
❍Tair recirculation (to keep it always on or always off);
❍-to speed up demisting/defrosting of windscreen, rear win-
dow and external rearview mirrors;
❍(to demist/defrost the heated rear windscreen and door mir-
rors.
