Window demisting
In the event of considerable outside mois-
ture and/or rain and/or considerable
dif-
ferences in temperature inside and outside
the passenger compartment,
perform the
following preventive demisting procedure:
turn knob Ato the red sector;
switch internal air recirculation off;
turn knob Cto and change it back
to if demisting does not improve;
turn knob Bto 2
ndspeed.
IMPORTANT The climate control system
is very useful to prevent window misting
up in presence of high humidity since it
dries the air.HEATED REAR WINDOW DEMIS-
TING/DEFROSTING

Press button Ato start this function;
when this function is on the button led is
on.
This function is timed and it will turn off
automatically after 20 minutes. Press A
again to switch it off before.
IMPORTANT Do not apply stickers on
the inside of the rear window over
the
heating filaments to avoid damage that
might cause it to stop working properly.

After demistin g/defrosting, operate the
controls to restore the required comfort.
IMPORTANT The climate control system
is very useful for faster demisting because
it dries the air. Adjust the controls as de-

USING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
The system can be started in different
ways,
but it is advisable to start by press-
ing the AUTObutton and then turning
the knobs to set the temperature required
on the display.
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 temper-
ature, the quantity and the distribution of
the air introduced into the passenger com-
partment and will manage the recircula-
tion function and the compressor.
Manual intervention is only required for
the following functions during fully auto-
matic operation.
air recirculation, to keep the
function always either on or off;
to speed up demisting/defrosting of
windscreen, rear window and exter-
nal 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 disappear
if the air distribution, air speed,
compres-
sor and/or recirculatio n settin gs are
changed. In this way, the functions will
switch from automatic to manual control
until AUTOis pressed again. With on or
more manually set functions, the intro-
duced air temperature is still managed au-
tomatically by the system, except for when
the compressor is off: in the case,
the air
introduced into the passenger compart-
ment cannot be cooler than the outside
air.Air temperature adjustment
knob (I)
Turn the knob either clockwise or anti-
clockwise to increase or lower the re-
quested temperature in the
passenger
compartment. The set temperature is
shown on the display.
Turn the knob either all to the right
or
all to the left to the extreme HIor LO
position to use the maximum heating or
maximum cooling functions:
HI function (maximum heating):
select by turning the temperature knob
clockwise over the maximum value
(32 °C).
This function may be used to heat up the
passenger compartment exploiting the
system potential to the maximum. In this
condition, the system stop controlling
temperature automatically and sets air
mixing to maximum heating. The air speed
and distribution are fixed.
Specifically,
if the heating fluid is not suffi-
ciently warm, 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.

Climate control compressor
enabling button (F)
Press to switch the clim ate control
compressor off (if on). The icon on the
display will go out.
Press the button when the LED is off to
res tore aut oma tically system
control
and use of the com pressor.
The icon
will light up on the display 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 required tem-
perature, the word FULLwill disappear
from the display.
If on the other hand the
system cannot maintain the required tem-
perature, the digits will blink and the word
AUTOwill disappear.IMPORTANT With the compressor off,
it is not possible to introduce air cooler
than ambient temperature into the pas-
senger compartm ent. Furthermore,
in
certain condition s, the windows could
mist up rapidly because the air is not de-
humidified. 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.
With climate control compressor off,
the
fan speed can be set to zero manually (no
bar shown).
With the compressor enabled and the en-
gine started, the fan speed may be reduced
to the minimum setting (only one bar
shown).Fast window demisting/defrosting
button (D)
Press this button: the climate control
sys-
tem will automatically switch on all the
functions required for fast windscreen de-misting/defrosting, that is:
switches on climate control compres-
sor when climatic conditions are suit-
able;
air recirculation off;
maximum air temperature HI on both
areas;
operates proper fan speed according
to engine coolant temperature to lim-
it the flow into the passenger
com-
partment of air not warm enough to
demist the windows;
directs air flow to windscreen
and
front side windows vents;
heated rear window on.
