Buttons A - Manual air distribution selection
By pressing the buttons, one of the five possible
air flow distribution modes can be selected:
air flow to the windscreen and front side window
diffusers to demist or defrost them.air flow to central and side dashboard vents to
ventilate the chest and the face during the hot
season.towards the footwell diffusers. Due to the
natural tendency of heat to rise, this type of
distribution warms the passenger compartment
up as quickly as possible, providing an immediate
feeling of warmth.+
distribution between footwell diffusers
(warmest air) and dashboard vents (coolest
air).
+
distribution between footwell diffusers and
windscreen/front side window vents. This
type of distribution achieves effective
heating of the passenger compartment and
prevents the windows from misting up.
Button B
- MAX-DEF function activation
When thebutton is pressed the system activates
all the functions required for fast demisting/
defrosting:
❒compressor on (if the weather conditions are
suitable);
❒air recirculation off;
❒maximum air temperature setting (HI);❒fan speed determined according to the coolant
temperature;
❒air flow conveyed to thewindscreen and front side
windows;
Button C
- Climate control compressor
activation/deactivation
Pressing button C activates/deactivates climate
control:
❒LED on button on: compressor on;
❒LED on button off: compressor off.
When the compressor is off:
❒the system will deactivate air recirculation to
prevent the windows from misting up;
❒it is not possible to convey air to thepassenger
compartment with a temperature below the
outside temperature (the displayed temperature
value will flash when the system cannot guarantee
the requested comfort conditions);
❒the fan speed can be reset manually (with
compressor enabled, ventilation cannot go below a
bar shown on the display).
Button D
- Internal air recirculation
activation/deactivation
It is advisable to switch the internal air recirculation
on whilst queuing or in tunnels to prevent the
introduction of polluted air.
At low temperatures or if the compressor is off, the
recirculation is forced to off to prevent misting.
