climate settings FIAT DOBLO COMBI 2015 2.G Owners Manual

INTRODUCTION
The automatic climate control
system adjusts the temperature, the
quantity and the distribution of the
air in the passenger compartment.
The temperature control is based on
the "equivalent temperature": in
other words, the system
continuously works to keep the
comfort level inside the vehicle
constant and to compensate for
possible variations in outside
conditions, including the sun's rays
detected by a dedicated sensor. The
automatically controlled parameters
and functions are:
❒air temperature at the vents;
❒air distribution at the vents;
❒fan speed (continuous variation of the
air flow);
❒compressor activation (for cooling/
dehumidifying the air);
❒air recirculation.
All functions may be changed
manually. In other words, you may
select one or more functions and
change the parameters as required.
Automatic control of the manually
changed functions will be
suspended: the system will override
your settings only for safety-related
reasons (e.g. risk of misting).
Manual selections will always take
priority over automatic settings and
will be stored until the user switches
the system back to automatic
operation by pressing the AUTO
button again except for the cases in
which the system will intervene for
particular, safety-related reasons.
You can adjust one function
manually without affecting the
automatic control of the others.
The temperature of the air sent is
always controlled automatically,
depending on the temperature set in
the display (except when the
system is off or in certain conditions
when the compressor is switched
off).The system allows the following
parameters and functions to be set
or altered manually: air temperature,
fan speed (continuous variation);
air distribution in seven positions;
compressor enablement; fast
defrosting/demisting function; air
recirculation; switching off the
system.
USING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
The system can be started in
different ways, but it is advisable to
start by pressing the AUTO button
and then turning the knob to set the
temperature required on the display.
The system will start running
automatically in this way and the set
temperature will be reached as
quickly as possible. The system will
adjust the temperature, the quantity
and the distribution of the air
introduced into the passenger
compartment and will manage the
recirculation function and the
compressor engagement. During
fully automatic operation, the only
manual intervention required is
the possible activation of the
following functions:
51

❒LO function (maximum cooling):
select by turning the temperature
knob anticlockwise beyond the
minimum value (16°C).
This function may be used to cool
down the passenger compartment
by exploiting the system's potential
to the full. In this condition, the
system stops controlling the
temperature automatically and sets
the air mixing to maximum cooling.
The air speed and distribution are
fixed. All manual settings will be
allowed when this function is on.
To switch the function off, simply
turn the temperature knob
clockwise and set the required
temperature.
Air distribution
buttons (B)
By pressing these buttons, it is
possible to set one of the 5 possible
air distributions manually:
Air flow to the windscreen and
front side window vents to demist
or defrost them.
Air flow at central and side
dashboard vents to ventilate the
chest and the face during the hot
season.
Air flow to the front and rear
footwell vents. Thanks to the
natural tendency of hot air to rise,
this distribution pattern allows
the passenger compartment to
warm up as quickly as possible,
providing an immediate feeling of
warmth.
Air flow distributed between
footwell diffusers (hotter air)
and central and side
dashboard vents (cooler air).
This distribution mode is
particularly useful in spring and
autumn on sunny days.
Air flow distributed between
the footwell vents and the
windscreen and front
side window defrosting/
demisting vents. This allows an
adequate warming of the
passenger compartment and
prevents the windows from
misting up.
The distribution set is shown by the
corresponding LEDs in the selected
buttons coming on.To restore automatic control of the
air distribution after a manual
selection, press the AUTO button.
Fan speed adjustment
buttons (H)
Press the H button at its ends to
increase or to decrease the fan
speed and therefore the amount of
air sent into the passenger
compartment, though the required
temperature remains set.
The fan speed is shown by the lit
bars on the display:
❒Maximum fan speed = all the bars lit
up
❒Minimum fan speed = one bar lit up.
The fan can only be excluded if
the climate control system
compressor has been switched off
by pressing the F button fig. 69.
IMPORTANT To restore automatic
fan speed control after a manual
adjustment, press the AUTO button.
53

IMPORTANT At high vehicle speeds,
the dynamic effect may increase
the flow of air into the passenger
compartment which in this case will
not directly correspond to the fan
speed bar display.
AUTO button (A)
(automatic operation)
Press AUTO to make the system
automatically adjust the quantity and
distribution of the air introduced
into the passenger compartment. All
previous manual settings will be
cancelled.
The message FULL AUTO will
appear on the front display in this
condition.
By manually adjusting at least one of
the functions automatically
managed by the system (air
recirculation, air distribution, fan
speed or switching off the
compressor), 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 automatically).IMPORTANT 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
experiencing 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 is managed
according to the following operating
logic:
❒override on (inside air recirculation
always on), indicated by the LED
on button G and the
symbol on
the display;
❒override off (air recirculation
constantly off with air intake from the
outside), signalled by the LED in
the button switching off and by the
symbol in the display
disappearing.
These operating conditions are
obtained by pressing air recirculation
button G in sequence.
IMPORTANT The engagement of
the air recirculation system makes it
possible to reach the required
heating or cooling conditions faster.
It is however inadvisable to use it
on rainy/cold days as it would
considerably increase the possibility
of the windows misting inside,
especially if the climate control
compressor is off.
To prevent the windows from
misting up, the recirculation is forced
off (i.e. air is drawn in from the
outside) when the outside
temperature is cold.
It is advisable not to use the air
recirculation function when the
outside temperature is low to
prevent the windows from rapidly
misting up.
