polluted air. Do not use the function for
a long time, particularly if there are
many passengers on board, to prevent
the windows from misting up.

CONTROLS
Air temperature
adjustment knob (I)
Turn the knob either clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or lower
the requested temperature in the
passenger compartment.
The set temperature is shown on the
display.
Turn the knob either fully to the right or
fully to the left to the extreme HI or
LO position to turn the maximum
heating or maximum cooling functions
on:
❒HI function (maximum heating): select
by turning the temperature knob
clockwise beyond the maximum
value (32°C).
This function may be used to heat up
the passenger compartment by
exploiting the system's potential to the
full. In this event, the system stops
controlling the temperature
automatically and sets the air mixing to
maximum heating. The air speed and
distribution are fixed.
In particular, if the heating fluid is not
sufficiently hot, the maximum fan speed
does not come on straight away in
order to limit the intake of insufficiently
hot air to the passenger compartment.All manual settings will be allowed when
this function is on.
To switch the function off, simply turn
the temperature knob anticlockwise
and set the required temperature.
❒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 event, 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 anticlockwise
and set the required temperature.
Air distribution buttons
(B)
By pressing these buttons, it is possible
to set one of the seven possible air
distributions manually:
Air flow to the windscreen and front
side window vents to demist or defrost
them.
Air flow to the central and side
dashboard vents to ventilate chest and
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 vents (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.Air flow distribution split between
the windscreen and front side windows
defrosting/demisting vents and the
central and side dashboard vents as
well as the footwell vents. This
distribution makes it possible to
maintain good levels of comfort and
keep the passenger compartment
sufficiently cool (summer).

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.
Climate control
compressor
enablement/off button
(F)
Press button
to switch the climate
control compressor off (if on). The icon
on the display will go out.
Press the button when the LED is off to
restore automatic system control of
compressor activation. The icon will
light up on the display.The system will switch recirculation off
when the compressor is switched off to
prevent windows from misting up.
Although the system is capable
of maintaining the required
temperature, the word FULL will
disappear from the display. If, on the
other hand, it is no longer capable
of maintaining the temperature, the
letters flash and the word AUTO goes
out.
IMPORTANT With the compressor off, it
is not possible to introduce air cooler
than ambient temperature into the
passenger compartment. Furthermore,
in certain conditions, the windows
could mist up rapidly because the air is
not dehumidified.
The system remembers that the
compressor has been switched off,
even after the engine has stopped.
To restore automatic compressor
control, press the
button again (in
this case, the system will only work as a
heater) or press the AUTO button.
With the compressor switched off, if the
outside temperature is higher than the
one set, the system is not capable
of satisfying this request. This is
signalled by the target temperature
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
be reduced to the minimum setting
(only one bar shown).
Button for rapid window
demisting/defrosting (D)
Press this button and the climate
control system will automatically switch
on all the functions required for fast
windscreen and side window
demisting/defrosting:
❒switches on climate control
compressor when climatic conditions
are suitable;
❒switches air recirculation off;
❒maximum air temperature HI in both
areas;
❒sets the fan speed according to the
engine coolant temperature to limit
the flow of air that is not sufficiently
warm to demist the windows;
❒directs air flow to windscreen and
front side windows vents;
❒heated rear window on.
