matically managed by the system (air recirculation, air dis-
tribution, fan speed or air conditioning compressor on/off),
the word FULL will disappear from the display, indicating
that the system is no longer automatically controlling all
the functions (the temperature will still be controlled au-
tomatically by the system).▲
˙Air flow distribution split between the windscreen
and front side windows defrosting/demisting diffusers
and the central and side dashboard vents. This dis-
tribution makes it possible to maintain good levels
of comfort and keep the passenger compartment suf-
ficiently cool (summer).

It is however not advised to use it on rainy/cold days as
it would considerably increase the possibility of the win-
dows steaming up, especially if the climate control com-
pressor is off.
The recirculation is forced off (i.e. air is introduced from
the outside) when the the outside temperature is cold to
prevent misting up.
It is advisable not to use the air recirculation function when
the outside temperature is low, because the windows
could rapidly steam up.
Climate control compressor on/off button (F)
Press button √to switch the climate control compres-
sor off (if it is already on). The icon on the display will
go out.
Press the button when the LED is off to automatically
restore system control and use of the compressor. The
icon will light up in the display in this case.
The system will switch the recirculation off when the cli-
mate control compressor is switched off to prevent the
windows misting up. Although the system is capable of
maintaining the required temperature, the word FULL will
disappear from the display. If the system is no longer able
to maintain the temperature, the figures will flash and the
word AUTO will go out. WARNING Should the system (after manual intervention)
no longer be able to guarantee the target temperature for
the passenger compartment, the set temperature value will
start flashing to indicate the difficulties the system is ex-
periencing and then the word AUTO will go out.
To restore system automatic control at any time, after one
or more manual adjustments, press the AUTO
button.
Air recirculation on/off button (G)
The air recirculation works according to the following op-
erating logic:

the LED on the button
Gcoming on and the symbol
íon the display;
❒override off (air recirculation always off and intro-
duction of outside air), indicated by the fact that the
LED in the button goes off and symbol êwill ap-
pear on the display.
These operating conditions are obtained by pressing air
recirculation button G in sequence.
WARNING The engagement of the air recirculation sys-
tem makes it possible to reach the required heating or
cooling conditions faster.

temperature to limit the flow of air that is insufficiently
warm to demist the windows;
❒the air flow is directed to the windscreen and front
door window glasses diffusers;
❒switches on the heated rear windscreen
WARNING The rapid demisting/defrosting function for
the windows remains on for about 3 minutes from when
the engine coolant reaches the appropriate temperature
for a rapid demisting of the windows.
When this function is active, the LED in the correspond-
ing button and the one for the heated rear windscreen but-
ton switch on. The message FULL AUTO goes off on the

rear windscreen off manually when this function is active.
To restore the previous operating conditions, simply press
button B, air recirculation button G, compressor button
F or AUTO button A. IMPORTANT With the compressor off, it is not possible
to introduce air into the passenger compartment at a tem-
perature lower than that of the outside air. In certain
weather conditions, the windows could mist up rapidly due
to the non-dehumidified air.
The switching off of the compressor remains memorised
even when the engine has been stopped.
To restore automatic compressor engagement control,
press the √button again (in this case, the system will work
only as a heater) or press the AUTO button.
With the compressor switched off, if the outside tem-
perature is higher than the one set, the system is not ca-
pable of satisfying this request and signals it by the digits
for the temperature setting flashing after which the word
AUTO goes out.
With the climate control compressor off, the fan speed
can be set to zero manually (no bar shown).
With the compressor enabled and the engine started, the
fan speed may only be reduced to the minimum setting
(one bar shown).

❒by turning the device off and then memorizing a new
speed;
or
❒by moving the lever downwards (–) until reaching the
new speed, which will be memorized automatically.
Each movement of the lever will correspond to a slight re-
duction in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the lever
held downwards will correspond to a continuous speed
reduction.

is not really switched off but the request for accelera-
tion overrides the system. The cruise control is, how-
ever, active and it will not be necessary to press but-
ton B-fig.48 to restore the previous settings once the
acceleration is complete. Restoring the memorized speed
If the device has been switched off, for example by press-
ing the brake or clutch pedal, the memorized speed can
be restored as follows:
❒accelerate gradually until reaching a speed approaching
the memorised speed;
❒engage the gear selected at the time of speed memo-
rizing;
❒press button B-fig. 48.
Increasing the memorized speed
This can be done in two ways:
❒by pressing the accelerator and then memorizing the
new speed reached;
or
❒by moving the lever upwards (+).
Each operation of the lever will correspond to a slight in-
crease in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the lever
upwards will correspond to a continuous speed increase.
