The temperature of the air taken in is
always controlled automatically de-
pending on the temperature set on the
display (except when the system is
turned off or under certain conditions
when the compressor is off. The fol-
lowing parameters and functions can
be manually set:
❒air temperature on driver/front
passenger side;
❒fan speed (continuous variation);
❒air distribution to five positions
(driver/front passenger side);
❒compressor on;
❒one-zone/two-zone distribution pri-
ority;
❒fast demist/defrost function;
❒air recirculation;
❒heated rear window;
❒system off. ❒compressor activation (to cool/
dehumidify air);
❒air recirculation.
All functions may be manually
changed. In order words, you may se-
lect one or more functions and change
the parameters as required. Auto-
matic control of the manually
changed functions will be suspended:
the system will change override your
settings 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 system back to automatic
mode, except for the cases in which
the system will intervene for particu-
lar, safety-related reasons.
You can adjust one function automat-
ically and have the automatic system
control all the others.
The amount of air introduced into the
passenger compartment is indepen-
dent from speed of the car because the
fan is controlled by the electronic sys-
tem.AUTOMATIC TWO-
ZONE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
GENERAL INFORMATION
The two-zone automatic climate con-
trol system distributes air in the pas-
senger compartment in two zones:
driver’s and passenger’s side. Tem-
perature is controlled on the basis of
an “equivalent temperature” princi-
ple; in other words, the system con-
tinuously works to keep the comfort
level inside the car constant and to
compensate for possible variations of
external conditions, including sun ra-
diation detected by a specific sensor.
The automatically controlled para-
meters and functions are:
❒air temperature at the vents on dri-
ver/front passenger side;
❒air at vents on driver/front passen-
ger side;
❒fan speed (continuous air flow vari-
ation);

During completely automatic system
operation, you can vary the set tem-
perature, the air distribution and the
fan speed using the corresponding
buttons or knobs at any time: the sys-
tem will automatically change settings
to adapt to the new request.
During fully automatic operation
(FULL AUTO), the wordFULLwill
diasspear if the air distribution, air
speed, compressor and/or recircula-
tion settings are changed. In this way,
the functions will switch from auto-
matic to manual control until AUTO
is pressed again. The fan speed is the
same in all the zones of the passenger
compartment.
With on or more manually set func-
tions, the introduced air temperature
is still managed automatically by the
system, except for when the compres-
sor is off: in the case, the air intro-
duced into the passenger compart-
ment cannot be cooler than the out-
side air. During fully automatic operation, the
only functions that are enabled man-
ually are:
❒MONOto uniform the tempera-
ture and the air distribution on
front passenger or rear passenger
zones to the driver’s zone;
❒
…air recirculation, to keep it
always on or off;
❒
-to speed up demisting/defro-
sting of windscreen, side windows,
rear window and door mirrors;
❒
(to demist/defrost the heated
rear window and the external
rearview mirrors. 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 re-
quired on the display.
The system manages two passenger
compartment zones: the driver and
passenger can therefore select different
temperatures. The maximum differ-
ence between the two zones is 7°C.
The system will start running auto-
matically in this way and the set com-
fortable temperature will be reached
as quickly as possible. The system ad-
justs the temperature, amount and
distribution of air delivered to the
passenger compartment. In addition,
it manages the recirculation function
to engage the climate control system
compressor.

˙
▼Air flow between foot well vents
(hotter air) and central and side
dashboard vents (cooler air). This
distribution is particularly useful
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 com-
partment and prevents the win-
dows from misting up. This function may be used to cool
down the passenger compartment as
fast as possible and exploit the system
potential to the maximum. The func-
tion activates air recirculation and the
climate control compressor, air distri-
bution and fan speed are managed by
the system according to environmen-
tal conditions. 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.I-M air
distribution
buttons
Press these buttons
to manually set one
of the five possible
air distribution pat-
terns on the left and
on the right side of
the passenger com-
partment:
▲Air flow to the windscreen and
front side window vents to demist
or defrost 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
tendency of hot air to spread up-
wards, this distribution pattern al-
lows to warm the passenger com-
partment up as quickly as possi-
ble, providing an immediate feel-
ing of warmth.

Press Eto switch the
climate control system
off. The display will
go out as a conse-
quence.
The following climate control condi-
tions will be established when the sys-
tem is off:
❒LEDs off;
❒set temperature not shown;
❒air recirculation on, passenger com-
partment isolated from the outside;
❒air conditioner compressor off;
❒fan off.The rear window heater can be turned
on and off manually by pressing G
when the system is off.
IMPORTANT The climate control sys-
tem control unit stores the settings be-
fore the system is turned off and rep-
resents the same settings when it
turned back on by pressing any but-
ton (except for the heated rear win-
dow). If the function corresponding to
the pressed button was off, it will be
turned on; if it was on, it will be kept
on.

The heater will go out automatically
after a certain time or by pressing the
button again. It will also go out when
the engine is stopped until it is started
again.
IMPORTANT Do not apply stickers
over the electric filaments on the in-
side of the rear window to prevent
damage and ensure perfect operation.
