IMPORTANT It is advisable to activate air recirculation
in queues or in tunnels to prevent the introduction of pol-
luted air. However, it is better not to use the function for
long periods, particularly if there are many people on
board, to prevent the windows from misting inside.
D. Air recirculation on/off button
(LED lit up when function is on).
E Manual climate control compressor on/off button
(LED lit up when function is on).
F Heated rear window activation/deactivation button.
When the function is active, an LED on the button
is lit up. In order to maintain battery efficiency, the
function is automatically deactivated after about

❍turn knob A to the red section;
❍turn knob C to

AUTOMATIC DUAL-ZONE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
L0E0018mfig. 26
The vehicle may be equipped with a dual zone automatic
climate control system, fig. 26, which regulates the pas-
senger side air temperature separately from the driver’s
side.The system is equipped with an AQS (Air Quality
System) function, which automatically switches on the
air recirculation system if the outside air is polluted (e.g.
in traffic queues and tunnels).

60KNOWING YOUR CAR
SWITCHING ON THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
The system can be activated by pressing any of the but-
tons; it is, however, advisable to set the desired temper-
atures on the display, then press the AUTO button.
The climate control system allows you to customise the
temperatures (driver side and passenger side) with a max-
imum difference of 7 °C.
The climate control system compressor works only with
the engine running and with an outside temperature of
above 4 °C.
It is advisable not to use the air recircula-
tion function when the outside temperature
is low to prevent the windows from rapidly
misting up.
Automatic climate control operation
(AUTO function) A-fig. 26
Press the AUTO button; the system will automatically
adjust:
❍the amount of air introduced into the passenger com-
partment;
❍the distribution of air inside the passenger compart-
ment;
cancelling any previous manual settings.
During climate control system automatic operation, the
words FULL AUTO appear on the display.
During automatic operation it is still possible to adjust
the set temperature and carry out the following opera-
tions manually:
❍adjust fan speed;
❍select air distribution;
❍switch internal air recirculation and AQS function
on/off;
❍switch on the climate control system compressor.

Selecting air distribution B-fig. 26
Press one or more of buttons
//˙to manually select
one of the 7 possible air distribution settings for the pas-
senger compartment:
Air flow to the windscreen and front side window
vents to demist/defrost them.
Air flow to the front and rear footwell vents. This
air distribution allows the passenger compartment
to be warmed up quickly.
Air flow distribution between the
˙front and rear vents, centre/side dashboard vents,
rear vent and windscreen and front side window
demisting/defrosting vents.

Air flow distribution between the footwell vents
and the windscreen and front side window
demisting/defrosting vents. This distribution set-
ting allows the passenger compartment to be
heated well and prevents the windows from mist-
ing up.
˙
Air flow distribution between footwell vents (hot-
ter air) and centre/side dashboard vents and rear
vent (cooler air).
˙Air flow distribution between centre/side dash-
board vents, rear vent and windscreen and front
side window demisting/defrosting vents. This dis-
tribution setting ventilates the passenger compart-
ment and prevents the windows from misting up.IMPORTANT For the climate control system to function,
