coolant “R134a” refriger-

pollute the environment if it acci-
dentally leaks. Under no circum-
stances should other fluids be

HOW TO USE THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
The system can be switched on in
various ways. We recommend start-
ing by pressing the AUTObutton
and setting the required tempera-
tures on the display.
Since the system controls three
areas of the passenger compartment,
the driver and the front/back pas-
sengers can select different tempera-
ture values, with a maximum differ-
ence accepted by the system of 7 °
C.
In this way, the system will start
working fully automatically to reach
the required temperature as soon as
possible. It will maintain the tem-
perature by adjusting the amount
and distribution pattern of the air let
into the passenger compartment and
manage the recirculation function
and the climate control system com-
pressor.When the system is working auto-
matically, the only possible manual
functions are:
– MONO, to align air temperature
and distribution on the passenger
side or in the back-seat passengers’
area with that on the driver side;
– REAR, to activate the back con-
trol panel;
– √, to switch off the compressor:
in these conditions the system works
only as a heater;
– air recirculation, to keep recircu-
lation always turned on or off;
–-, for faster defrosting/demist-
ing the front windows, rear window,
external rearview mirrors and wind-
screen wiper nozzles;
– (,for defrosting/demisting the
heated rear window and external
rearview mirrors.The temperature, air distribution
and fan speed settings can be
changed at any time during auto-
matic system operation. The system
will automatically adjust to the new
request. When the system is fully
working in automatic mode (FULL
AUTO), if air distribution and/or
flow is changed, definition FULL
disappears. In this way functions
pass from the automatic mode to the
manual mode, until button AUTOis
pressed again. There is only one fan
speed for all the passenger compart-
ment areas and it can be changed
also by operating back controls,
when activated.
With one or more functions manu-
ally on, the air temperature let into
the passenger compartment is auto-
matically managed by the system
unless the climate control compres-
sor is off. In this condition, in fact,
the air inlet into the passenger com-
partment cannot have a lower tem-
perature than that of the external
air.

CONTROLS
Knobs for adjusting air tempera-
ture (2, 8 fig. 121 - 1 fig. 122)
Turn the knobs towards the right
or towards the left to raise or lower
the air temperature required respec-
tively in the front left-hand area
(knob 2 fig. 121) and in the front
right-hand area (knob 8 fig. 121) or
back area (knob 1 fig. 122) of the
passenger compartment.
Since the system controls three
areas of the passenger compartment,
the driver and the front/back-seat
passengers can select different tem-
perature values with a maximum
difference accepted by the system of
7 °
C.
Temperature control in the front
passenger area and in the back pas-
senger area is alternated; when the
button led REARis off, control of
front passenger side is on, but when
button REARis pressed (button led
on) the back control panel is activat-
ed. The set temperatures are shown on
the displays set near the respective
knobs.
Press button 16(MONO - fig. 121)
to automatically align the
(front/back) passenger temperature
to the temperature on driver’s side.
Consequently the temperature in the
two areas can be set simply by turn-
ing the knob on the driver side 2
(fig. 121). This function is provided
to facilitate adjusting the temperature
in the passenger compartment when
only the driver is present. The sepa-
rate operation of the set temperatures
and air distribution is automatically
reset when knobs 8 (fig. 121) or 1
(fig. 122) are turned or button 16
(MONO - fig. 121) is pressed again,
when the button led is turned on.
Turn the knobs fully to the right or
to the left to the end positions HIor
LO, to obtain maximum heating or
cooling, respectively:– HIfunction (maximum heating):
this is switched on by turning the
temperature knob to the right
beyond the maximum value (32 °C).
It can be independently switched on
from driver’s side or from
(front/back) passenger’s side or
from both sides (also by selecting the
MONOfunction).
This function can be switched on to
speed up heating in the passenger
compartment by exploiting the sys-
tem potential to the maximum. The
function employs the maximum
coolant temperature while the air
distribution and fan speed are set by
the system according to environ-
mental conditions. In particular, if
the coolant temperature is not suffi-
cient, the function does not switch
the fan on at top speed to limit let-
ting into air which is not adequately
warm.
All the manually settings can be
adjusted when the function is on.

153
To switch this function off, turn
the temperature knob to the left and
set the required temperature.
– LOfunction (maximum cooling):
it is activated by turning the temper-
ature knob to the left beyond the
minimum value (16 °C). It can be
independently switched on from dri-
ver’s side or from (front/back) pas-
senger’s side or from both sides (also
by selecting the MONOfunction).
This function can be switched on to
speed up cooling the passenger com-
partment by exploiting the system
potential to the maximum. This
function cuts out the heater and
switches the air recirculation and the
climate control compressor on. The
air distribution and the fan speed
are selected according to the envi-
ronmental conditions. All the manu-
ally settings can be adjusted when
the function is on. To switch this
function off, turn the temperature
knob to the right and set the
required temperature.Buttons for adjusting front air
distribution (10, 18 fig. 121)
Press these buttons to manually
select one of the seven possible air
distribution patterns in the front
passenger compartment (right and
left side):
AAir flow to windscreen and front
side window vents for defrosting/
demisting the windows.
FDAir flow to central and side
dashboard vents and the rear vents.
IMPORTANTOn versions equipped
with solar cell operated sunroof
(where provided), to check opera-
tion at first speed of climate control
system fan when the car is parked,
disengage air vents and set air distri-
bution from central dashboard vents
only before leaving the car.
SAir flow to the front and rear
footwells. The air distribution pat-
tern, due to the natural tendency of
heat to move upwards, allows to
heat the passenger compartment up
as fast as possible. Furthermore, it
offers a prompt feeling of warmth to
the coolest parts of the body.Air flow shared between
footwell vents (warmer air)
and central and side dashboard
vents and the rear vents (cooler air).
This air distribution pattern is par-
ticularly useful in middle seasons
(spring and autumn) when it is
sunny.
Air flow shared between the
footwell vents and the windscreen
and front side window
defrosting/demisting vents. This air
distribution pattern ensures a good
heating of the passenger compart-
ment and prevents possible misting
up.
Air flow distribution between
central and side dashboard
vents, rear vents and windscreen
and front side window vents.
Air flow distribution
between all passenger com-
partment vents.
Air distribution setting is displayed
when leds relevant to the selected
button are lit, which will be turned
off in case of fully automatic opera-
tion (FULL AUTO). F
