During automatic operation, you can change the set
temperatures, air distribution and fan speed at any time
by using the relevant buttons or knobs: the system will
automatically change the settings to adjust to the new
requirements.
During completely automatic operation (AUTO), varying
the air flow and/or distribution (which are not dis-
played) causes the AUTO function LED to disappear and
the system to operate in MANUAL mode (displaying
both the flow and distribution requested).
When the compressor is deactivated, the AUTO opera-
tion remains active only if the system can guarantee
in-car comfort. Otherwise, the system switches to
MANUAL mode (the set temperatures will flash on the
display). The fan speed is the same in all the zones of the
passenger compartment.Adjusting The Air Temperature
Rotate the Driver Temperature Control, or the Passenger
Temperature Control, dial clockwise or anti clockwise, to
adjust the air temperature in the front left (Driver Tem-
perature Control) or right (Passenger Temperature Con-
trol) zone of the passenger compartment.
The set temperatures are shown on the displays.
Push the SYNC button to align the air temperature
between the two zones.
Turn the Passenger Temperature Control knob to return
to the separate management of air temperatures in the
two zones.
Turning the control knobs completely in one direction or
the other activates theHI(maximum heating) or LO
(maximum cooling) functions respectively.

To deactivate these functions, turn the temperature knob
to the desired temperature.
Air Distribution Selection
By pushing the Mode Control buttons (Up/Down/Right
arrows), it is possible to set one of the seven possible air
distributions manually:
•Up Arrow – Air flow to the windshield and front side
window diffusers to defrost them. Use Defrost mode
with maximum temperature settings for best wind-
shield and side window defrosting. When the defrost
mode is selected, the blower will automatically default
to medium-high.
• Right Arrow – Air flow at central and side dashboard
vents to ventilate the chest and the face during the hot
season. •
Down Arrow – Air flow to the front and rear footwell
diffusers. This air distribution setting heats the passen-
ger compartment most quickly, giving a prompt sen-
sation of warmth.
• Right/Down Arrows – Air flow distributed between
footwell diffusers (hotter air) and central and side
dashboard vents (cooler air). This distribution setting
is useful in spring and autumn on sunny days.
• Up/Down Arrows – Air flow distributed between
footwell diffusers and windshield and front side win-
dow defrosting diffusers. This distribution setting al-
lows the passenger compartment to be warmed effec-
tively and prevents the windows from misting.
• Up/Right Arrows – Air flow distribution between
windshield defrosting diffusers and side and central
dashboard vents. This allows air to be sent to the
windshield in conditions of strong sunlight.

•Up/Right/Down Arrows – Air flow distribution to all
diffusers on the car.
NOTE: Air always flows from the side dashboard diffus-
ers: it is, however, possible to interrupt the air flow by
operating the wheel located near the corresponding
vents.
In AUTO mode, the climate control system automatically
manages air distribution (the LEDs on the Mode Control
buttons are off).
When set manually, the air distribution is indicated by
the LEDs on the selected buttons switching on.
In combined function mode, functions are enabled to-
gether with those already set when the relevant button is
pushed. If a button whose function is already active is
pushed, the operation is cancelled and the corresponding
LED switches off. To restore automatic control of the air distribution after a
manual selection, push the AUTO button.
AUTO Button
When the AUTO button is pushed (LED on button lit) the
climate control system automatically adjusts the follow-
ing settings in the corresponding zones:
•
quantity and distribution of the air introduced into the
passenger compartment
• climate control system compressor and
• air recirculation.
Cancelling all previous manual adjustments.
This is indicated by the LED on the AUTO button
switching on.

NOTE:The Front Defrost Control (MAX-DEF) function
remains on for about three minutes from when the engine
coolant reaches the appropriate temperature.
When the function is activated, the LED on the AUTO
button switches off. With the function activated the only
possible manual adjustments are adjusting the fan speed
and turning the heated rear window off.
When the Recirculation Control, Rear Defrost Control , or
AUTO buttons are pushed, the climate control system
will deactivate the Front Defrost (MAX-DEF) function.
Selecting the footwell/windshield or only windshield
distribution activates the climate control system com-
pressor (LED on A/C button on) and the air recirculation
is set to outside air intake (LED on the recirculation
button off ). This logic guarantees optimum visibility at the windows.
It is, however, always possible to manage air recirculation
and the climate control system compressor manually.
Rear Window Defrosting
Push the Rear Defrost button to activate heated rear
window defrosting.
The effective activation of the function is indicated by the
rear defrost warning light on the instrument panel
switching ON.
This function switches OFF automatically after about 20
minutes or when the engine is turned OFF. It is not
switched on automatically the next time the engine is
started.
If equipped, push the rear defrost button to activate
defrosting of door mirrors and heated rear window.
