During fully automatic operation, the on-
ly manual settings required are the fol-
lowing:
❒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 al-
ways on or off;
❒-, to speed up demisting/defrosting
of windscreen, front side windows,
rear window and door mirrors;
❒(, to demist/defrost the rear heat-
ed window and the door mirrors.
During completely automatic system op-
eration, 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 re-
quirements.
During full automatic operation (FULL
AUTO), any change in air distribution
and/or air flow and/or compressor turn-
ing on and/or air recirculation will obtain
FULLdisappearing. In this way functions
will be controlled manually until pressing
the AUTObutton again. The fan speed is
the same for all passenger compartment
areas.With one or more functions engaged man-
ually, the adjustment of the temperature
of the air admitted to the passenger com-
partment continues to be controlled au-
tomatically by the system, except with the
climate control compressor off. In fact, in
this condition, the air admitted to the pas-
senger compartment cannot have a low-
er temperature than the outside air.
CONTROLS
Air temperature
adjustment knobs
H-N
Turning the knobs clock-
wise or counterclock-
wise, highers or lowers
the temperature of the
air required respectively
in the left zone (knob N)
or right zone (knob H)
of the passenger com-
partment.
It is possible to personalise required tem-
peratures (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) automati-
cally 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 tem-
perature adjustment of the whole pas-
senger compartment when only the dri-
ver is on board.
Separate operation of the set tempera-
tures is automatically restored by turning
knobs (H) or pressing button A
(MONO) again when the button led is on.
Turning the knobs clockwise or counter-
clockwise until they reach the extreme se-
lections HIor LO, the maximum heat-
ing or cooling functions are respectively
engaged:
❒HIfunction (highest heating power):
this is activated by turning the tempera-
ture knob clockwise above the max. val-
ue (32 °C). It can be activated indepen-
dently from the driver’s or passenger’s
side or both (also selecting the MONO
function).
This function can be engaged when re-
quiring to heat the passenger compart-
ment 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.
To switch the function off, simply turn the
temperature knob counterclockwise and
set the required temperature.
❒LOfunction (highest cooling power):
this is activated by turning the tempera-
ture knob counterclockwise below the
min. value (16 °C). It can be activated in-
dependently from the driver’s or passen-
ger’s side or both (also selecting the
MONOfunction).
This function can be engaged when re-
quiring to cool the passenger compart-
ment 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 dis-
tributions to the left and
right side of the passen-
ger compartment:
▲Air flow to the windscreen and front
side window vents to demist or de-
frost them.
˙Air flow to dashboard central and
side vents to provide satisfactory
ventilation to the chest and face,
specially during the summer.
▼Air flow towards the front and rear
lower parts of the passenger com-
partment. Due to the natural ten-
dency of heat to spread upwards,
this type of distribution allows heat-
ing 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 pas-
senger compartment (warmest air)
and the dashboard centre and side
outlets (coolest air). This air flow
distribution is particularly useful in
spring and autumn, when the sun is
shining.
▲
▼Splitting of the air flow between the
lower part of the passenger com-
partment and the windscreen and
front side window demisting/de-
frosting vents. This type of air dis-
tribution allows satisfactory heating
of the passenger compartment while
preventing possible misting of the
windows.
Set air flow distribution is indicated by the
corresponding button led switching on.
With a combined function set, pressing a
button will turn on the main function of
the button pressed, together with the
functions set yet. Pressing the button of
the active function will turn the function
off (led off).
To restore automatic air distribution con-
trol after a manual selection, press button
AUTO.
When the driver selects air distribution
towards the windscreen, also the air dis-
tribution on passenger’s side will auto-
matically be directed to the windscreen.
The passenger can however select a dif-
ferent air distribution by pressing the rel-
evant buttons.

Pressing the ends of but-
ton
pincreases or de-
creases the fan speed
and therefore the amount of air admitted
to the passenger compartment, although
keeping the required temperature.
The fan speed is shown by the lit bars on
the display
❒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.

Pressing the AUTO
button (on driver and/or
front passenger side) the
system automatically ad-
justs the amount and dis-
tribution of the air ad-
mitted to the passenger
compartment, cancelling
all the previous manual adjustments.
This condition is indicated by the message
FULL AUTOon the front system dis-
play.
Manual operation of at least one automatic
function (air recirculation, air distribution,
fan speed or climate control compressor
off) will cause FULLmessage going off the
display. This means that automatic control
is not complete (except temperature con-
trol which is always automatic).
IMPORTANT Should the system (after
manual settings) be no longer able to guar-
antee the required temperature set in the
passenger compartment, the set temper-
ature value will start flashing to indicate
this condition, after one minute the AU-
TOmessage will turn off.
To restore automatic system control af-
ter one or more manual selections, press
button AUTO.MONO button (A)
(alignment of set
temperatures and
air distribution)
Pressing button 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 and air distribution between
the two zones simply turning the knob on
the driver’s side. This function is provid-
ed to simplify temperature adjustment of
the whole passenger compartment when
only the driver is on board.
Separate operation of the set tempera-
tures and air distribution is automatically
restored by turning knob H-fig. 65or
pressing button MONO Aagain when
the button led is on.
