CONTROLS
Air temperature
adjustment knobs H-N
Turning the knobs
clockwise or
counterclockwise,
highers or lowers the temperature of the air required
respectively in the left zone (knob N) or right zone
(knob H) of the passenger compartment.
It is possible to personalise required temperatures
(driver and passenger) with a maximum difference of 7
°C.
The temperatures set are shown on the displays near
the relevant knobs.
Pressing button A (MONO) automatically aligns the
temperature on the front passenger’s side with that on
the driver’s side. It is therefore possible to set the
same temperature between the two zones simply
turning the knob on the driver’s side (N).
This function is provided to simplify temperature
adjustment of the whole passenger compartment when
only the driver is on board.
Separate operation of the set temperatures is
automatically restored by turning knobs (H) or
pressing button A (MONO) again when the button led
is on.Turning the knobs clockwise or counterclockwise until
they reach the extreme selections HI or LO, the
maximum heating or cooling functions are respectively
engaged:
❒HI function (highest heating power):
this is activated by turning the temperature knob
clockwise above the max. value (32 °C). It can be
activated independently from the driver’s or
passenger’s side or both (also selecting the MONO
function).
This function can be engaged when requiring to heat
the passenger compartment as quickly as possible,
exploiting the maximum potential of the system. This
function uses the maximum temperature of the
coolant fluid, while air distribution and fan speed are
controlled according to the system settings.
More particularly, max. fan speed will not be
immediately engaged if coolant is not hot enough; this
to prevent admitting air that is not warm enough to
the passenger compartment.
All manual settings are however possible with this
function on.

❒max fan speed = all bars lit
❒min fan speed = one bar lit.
The fan can be cut off only if the climate control
compressor has been switched off pressing button B.
IMPORTANT To restore automatic fan speed control
after a manual adjustment, press button AUTO.

These operating conditions are obtained pressing in
sequence the air recirculation button (C).
After a preset time, the climate control system will
turn air recirculation off automatically for safety
reasons, thus enabling outside air inlet.IMPORTANT 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 system is off.
When the outside temperature is below 5-7°C, air
recirculation is switched off (air is taken from the
outside) to prevent misting.

TO MEMORISE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❒turn the knurled ring (A) to ON and press the
accelerator pedal to the required speed;
❒move the stalk upwards (+) for at least three
seconds, then release it. The car speed is
memorised and it is therefore possible to release
the accelerator pedal.
In the case of need (when overtaking for instance)
acceleration is possible simply pressing the accelerator
pedal: releasing the accelerator pedal, the car will
return to the speed memorised previously.
TO RESET THE MEMORISED SPEED
If the device has been disengaged for example pressing
the brake or clutch pedal, the memorised speed can
be reset as follows:
❒accelerate gradually until reaching a speed
approaching the one memorised;
❒engage the gear selected at the time of speed
memorising (4th or 5th gear);
❒press the RES button (B).

TO REDUCE MEMORISED SPEED
The speed memorised can be increased in two ways:
❒disengaging the device and then memorising the
new speed;
or
❒moving the stalk downwards (–) until reaching the
new speed which will be memorised automatically.
Each operation of the stalk will correspond to a slight
reduction in speed (about 1 km/h), while keeping the
stalk downwards continuously will correspond to a
continuous speed reduction.DEVICE DISENGAGEMENT
Turn the ring (A) to OFF or the ignition key to STOP.
The device is automatically deactivated also in one of
the following cases:
