AUTOMATIC TWO-
ZONE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
(where provided)
GENERAL INFORMATION
The two-zone automatic climate control
system distributes air in the passenger
compartment in two zones: driver’s and
passenger’s side. Temperature is con-
trolled on the basis of an “equivalent tem-
perature” principle; in other words, the
system continuously works to keep the
comfort level inside the car constant and
to compensate for possible variations of
external conditions, including sun radia-
tion detected by a specific sensor.
The automatically controlled parameters
and functions are:
❒air temperature at the vents on dri-
ver/front passenger side;
❒air at vents on driver/front passenger
side;
❒fan speed (continuous air flow varia-
tion);
❒compressor activation (to cool/dehu-
midify air);
❒air recirculation.All functions may be manually changed. In
order words, you may select one or more
functions and change the parameters as
required. Automatic control of the man-
ually changed functions will be suspended:
the system will change override your set-
tings only for safety-related reasons (e.g.
risk of misting up).
Manual selections will always have higher
priority over automatic settings and will
be stored until the user switches the sys-
tem back to automatic mode, except for
the cases in which the system will inter-
vene for particular, safety-related reasons.
You can adjust one function automatical-
ly and have the automatic system control
all the others.
The amount of air introduced into the pas-
senger compartment is independent from
speed of the car because the fan is con-
trolled by the electronic system.
The temperature of the air taken in is al-
ways controlled automatically depending
on the temperature set on the display (ex-
cept when the system is turned off or un-
der certain conditions when the com-
pressor is off. The following parameters and functions
can be manually set:
❒air temperature on driver/front pas-
senger side;
❒fan speed (continuous variation);
❒air distribution to five positions (dri-
ver/front passenger side);
❒compressor enablement;
❒one-zone/two-zone distribution pri-
ority;
❒fast demist/defrost function;
❒air recirculation;
❒heated rear window;
❒system off.

USING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
The system can be started in different
ways, but it is advisable to press one of the
AUTObuttons and then to turn the
knobs to set the temperatures required
on the display.
The system manages two passenger com-
partment zones: the driver and passen-
ger can therefore select different tem-
peratures. The maximum difference be-
tween the two zones is 7°C.
The system will start running automatically
in this way and the set comfortable tem-
perature will be reached as quickly as pos-
sible. The system will adjust the tempera-
ture, the quantity and the distribution of
the air introduced into the passenger com-
partment and will manage the recirculation
function and the compressor.

Manual intervention is only required for
the following functions during fully auto-
matic operation.
❒MONOto uniform the temperature
and the air distribution on front pas-
senger or rear passenger zones to the
driver’s zone;
❒…air recirculation, to keep it always
on or off;
❒-to speed up demisting/defrosting of
windscreen, side windows, rear window
and door mirrors;
❒(to demist/defrost the heated rear
window and the external rearview
mirrors.
During completely automatic system op-
eration, you can vary the set temperature,
the air distribution and the fan speed us-
ing the corresponding buttons or knobs
at any time: the system will automatically
change settings to adapt to the new re-
quest.
During fully automatic operation (FULL
AUTO), the word FULLwill dissapear
if the air distribution, air speed, compres-
sor and/or recirculation settings are
changed. In this way, the functions will
switch from automatic to manual control until AUTOis pressed again. The fan
speed is the same in all the zones of the
passenger compartment.
With on or more manually set functions,
the introduced air temperature is still
managed automatically by the system, ex-
cept for when the compressor is off: in the
case, the air introduced into the passen-
ger compartment cannot be cooler than
the outside air.

Turn the knobs clock-
wise or anticlockwise to
turn the temperature up
or down in the front left
zone (knob N) and the
right zone (knob H) of
the passenger compart-
ment respectively.
The system manages two passenger com-
partment zones: the driver and passen-
ger can therefore select different tem-
peratures. The maximum difference be-
tween the two zones is 7°C.
The set temperature is shown on the dis-
play near the knobs.Press A(MONO) to automatically align
the temperature in the front passenger
zone to the driver’s side temperature. The
same temperature can be set in both
zones by turning knob N on driver’s side.
This function is used to adjust the tem-
perature in the passenger compartment
when the driver only is in the car.
To go back to separate air and tempera-
ture distribution in the two zones of the
passenger compartment, simply turn the
knobs H or press (A-MONO) when the
LED on the button is on.

and fan speed distribution are managed
by the system according to conditions.
Specifically, if the heating fluid is not
warm enough, the fan will not start up at
the maximum speed immediately to limit
introducing excessively cool air into 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.
❒LOfunction (maximum cooling):
select by turning the temperature knob
anticlockwise beyond the minimum

senger (by selecting the MONOfunc-
tion).
This function may be used to cool down
the passenger compartment as fast as
possible and exploit the system potential

air recirculation and the climate control
compressor, air distribution and fan
speed are managed by the system
according to environmental conditions. All manual settings will be allowed when
this function is on.
To switch the function off, simply turn

Air distribution
buttons
(I-M)
Press these buttons to
manually set one of the
five possible air distribu-
tion patterns on the left
and on the right side of
the passenger compart-
ment:
▲air flow to the windscreen and front
side window vents to demist or de-
frost them;
˙air flow at central and side dash-
board vents to ventilate the chest
and the face during the hot season;
▼air flow to the front and rear foot
well vents. Thanks to the natural ten-
dency of hot air to spread upwards,
this distribution pattern allows to
warm the passenger compartment
up as quickly as possible, providing
an immediate feeling of warmth.
˙
▼Air flow between foot well vents
(hotter air) and central and side
dashboard vents (cooler air). This
distribution mode is particularly use-
ful in spring and autumn on a sunny
day.
▲
▼Air flow distributed between foot
well vents and windscreen and front
side window defrosting/demisting
vents. This allows an adequate
warming of the passenger compart-
ment and prevents the windows
from misting up.
The set distribution is shown by the cor-
responding LEDs on the selected buttons.
When the combined function is on, press
a button to activate the corresponding
functions along with the settings. If the
button corresponding to a previously ac-
tive button is pressed, the function is
turned off and the corresponding LED will
go out.
To restore automatic air distribution con-
trol after a manual adjustment, press but-
ton AUTO.
Air distribution is automatically aligned on
driver and passenger side when the driver
selects air distribution towards the wind-
screen. The passenger can select a differ-
ent distribution by pressing the corre-
sponding buttons afterwards.

Air recirculation
on/off button (C)
Air recirculation works
according to the follow-
ing operating logics:
❒forced switching on (inside air recir-
culation always on), indicated by the
turning off of the button led C-fig. 62
and symbol íon the display;
❒function off (air recirculation always
off and introduction of external air),
indicated by the fact that the LED on
the button will go off and symbol
ê
will appear on the display.
These operating conditions are obtained
by pressing Cin sequence.
For safety reasons, the system will auto-
matically turn the recycling function off to
allow the introduction of fresh air after a
certain time.IMPORTANT The air recirculation func-
tion makes it possible to reach the re-
quired 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 con-
trol compressor is off.
Recirculation is forced off (i.e. air is in-
troduced from the outside) when the the
outside temperature is cold to prevent
misting up.

compressor on/off
button (B)
Press button
√when
the LED on the button
is on, to turn the climate
control compressor off. The LED will go
out. Press the button when the LED is off
to restore automatically system control
and use of the compressor. The LED will
light up on the button in this case.
The system will switch recirculation off
when the compressor is switched off to
prevent misting up. Although the system
is capable of maintaining the requiredtemperature, the word FULLwill disap-
pear from the display. If on the other
hand the system cannot maintain the
required temperature, the digits will
blink and the word AUTOwill disap-
pear.
IMPORTANT With the compressor off,
it is not possible to introduced air cool-
er than ambient temperature into the
passenger compartment. Furthermore,
in certain conditions, the windows could
mist up rapidly because the air is not
dehumidified.
The switching off of the climate control
compressor remains in storage even
when the engine has been stopped. To
restore automatic compressor control,
press √again (in this case, the system
will only work as a heater) or press
AUTO.
When the compressor is off, if the
external temperature is hotter than the
set temperature and the system cannot
satisfy the request, the digits of the set
temperature will blink for a few seconds
and the message AUTOwill go out.
With climate control compressor off,
the fan speed can be set to zero manual-
ly (no bar shown).
With the compressor on and the engine
started, the fan speed may be reduced to
the minimum setting (only one bar
shown).
It is advisable not to use the
air recirculation function
when the outside temperature is low
to prevent the windows from rapidly
misting up.
