Set knob (F) to ….
This function is particularly useful when the outside air
is heavily polluted (in a traffic jam, tunnel, etc.).
However, it is better not to use it for long periods,
especially if there are several people in the car to
prevent window steaming up.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation system
makes it possible to reach the required “heating” or
“cooling” conditions faster. Do not use the air
recirculation function on rainy/cold days as it would
considerably increase the possibility of the windows
misting inside.

AUTOMATIC TWO-ZONE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM (where provided)
GENERAL
The car is fitted with a two-zone climate control
system which makes it possible to separately adjust the
air temperature on the driver’s side and on the
passenger’s side. Temperature control is based on the
“equivalent temperature” logic, i.e.: the system
continuously works to keep constant the comfort
inside the passenger compartment and to compensate
any variation of the outside climate conditions,
including sunshine detected by a proper sensor
provided for the purpose.
The climate control system automatically controls and
adjusts the following parameters and functions:
❒air temperature at driver/front passenger vents;
❒air distribution at driver/front passenger vents;
❒fan speed (continuous air flow variation);❒compressor switching on (to cool/dehumidify air);
❒air recirculation.
All the above functions can be changed manually at any
time, i.e.: you can always modify one or more function
settings. In this event, the system will no longer
implement the automatic control of the functions
changed manually (except for safety reasons, e.g.: risk
of window misting).
Manual selections prevail over automatic ones and
remain in storage until the user decides to resume
automatic control, except when the system cuts in for
particular safety conditions.
The control of functions not changed manually remains
automatic.
The amount of air admitted to the passenger
compartment does not depend on the car speed, since
it is electronically controlled by the fan.
In any case, the temperature of the air admitted to the
passenger compartment is controlled automatically
(except when the system is off) according to the
temperatures set on the driver’s and front passenger’s
displays or under certain climatic conditions if the
compressor is off).

SWITCHING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM ON
The system can be started in different ways, but it is
advisable to press one of the AUTO buttons and then
to turn the knobs to set the temperatures required on
the display.
It is possible to personalise required temperatures
(driver and passenger) with a maximum difference of 7
°C.
This way the system will start working completely
automatically to reach the temperatures set as quickly
as possible. The system will adjust the air temperature,
flow and distribution and will control the air
recirculation function and the conditioner compressor
on/off.
During fully automatic operation, the only manual
settings required are the following:
❒MONO, to align the air temperature and
distribution set on the passenger’s side (front or
rear) with that on the driver’s side;
❒…, air recirculation, to keep it always on or off;
❒-, to speed up demisting/defrosting of
windscreen, front side windows, rear window and
door mirrors;
❒(, to demist/defrost the rear heated window and
the door mirrors.During completely automatic system operation, the
temperatures, air distribution and the fan speed set
can be changed at any time through the relevant
buttons or knobs: the system will automatically change
its settings to adjust to the new requirements.
During full automatic operation (FULL AUTO), any
change in air distribution and/or air flow and/or
compressor turning on and/or air recirculation will
obtain FULL disappearing. In this way functions will be
controlled manually until pressing the AUTO button
again. The fan speed is the same for all passenger
compartment areas.
With one or more functions engaged manually, the
adjustment of the temperature of the air admitted to
the passenger compartment continues to be
controlled automatically by the system, except with
the climate control compressor off. In fact, in this
condition, the air admitted to the passenger
compartment cannot have a lower temperature than
the outside air.

To switch the function off, simply turn the
temperature knob counterclockwise and set the
required temperature.
❒LO function (highest cooling power):
this is activated by turning the temperature knob
counterclockwise below the min. value (16 °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 cool
the passenger compartment as quickly as possible,
exploiting the maximum potential of the system. This
function engages inside air recirculation and climate
control compressor, while air distribution and fan
speed are controlled according to environmental
conditions. All manual settings are however possible
with this function on.
To switch the function off, simply turn the
temperature knob clockwise and set the required
temperature.Front air distribution
selection buttons
(I-M)
Pressing the relevant
buttons it is possible to
manually choose one of the five possible air
distributions to the left and right side of the passenger
compartment:
▲Air flow to the windscreen and front side window
vents to demist or defrost them.
˙Air flow to dashboard central and side vents to pro-
vide satisfactory ventilation to the chest and face,
specially during the summer.
▼Air flow towards the front and rear lower parts of
the passenger compartment. Due to the natural ten-
dency of heat to spread upwards, this type of distri-
bution allows heating of the passenger compartment
in the shortest time, also giving a prompt feeling of
warmth to the coldest parts of the body.
˙
▼Splitting of the air flow between the vents to the
lower part of the passenger compartment (warmest
air) and the dashboard centre and side outlets
(coolest air). This air flow distribution is particu-
larly useful in spring and autumn, when the sun is
shining.
▲
▼Splitting of the air flow between the lower part of
the passenger compartment and the windscreen and
front side window demisting/defrosting vents. This
type of air distribution allows satisfactory heating of
the passenger compartment while preventing pos-
sible misting of the windows.

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.

IMPORTANT Air at a temperature lower than that of
the outside air cannot be let into the passenger
compartment when the compressor is off.
Furthermore, in particular environmental conditions,
the windows could mist up fast because the air is no
longer dehumidified.Setting will be stored also when the engine is stopped.
Either press again button
√(in this case the system
operates as heater only) or AUTO to reset automatic
control of the compressor.
With compressor off, if the outside temperature is
higher than the set temperature, the system cannot

by the flashing of set temperature value on the display
for a few seconds, then the message AUTO will go off.
When the compressor is off, it is possible to reset
manually the fan speed (no bar displayed).
When the compressor is on and the engine is running,
fan speed cannot be lower than the minimum (one bar
displayed).
