IMPORTANTAir at a temperature
lower than that of the outside air
cannot be let in to the passenger
compartment when the compressor
is off. Furthermore, in particular
environmental conditions, the win-
dows could mist up fast because the
air is no longer dehumidified.
The setting will be stored when the
engine is stopped. Either press √
button again or press the AUTObut-
ton to reset automatic control of the
compressor (in the latter case, the
manual settings will be cancelled).
The led on the √button will go out. IMPORTANTThe air recircula-
tion function will allow, according to
the system operation (i.e. heating or
cooling) to reach the required condi-
tions faster. We recommend not
turning on this function on rainy
and/or cold days as this will consid-
erably increase window misting,
especially if the climate control sys-
tem is off.
In particular climate
conditions (e.g. low out-
side temperature or high
humidity) and with the inside air
recirculation automatic control
on, windows could start misting
up. In this case, press the air
recirculation button and set it to
forced open position (both button
leds off), and increase air flow to
the windscreen, if required.Climate control system
compressor off button (7 fig. 121)
Press the √button, when the but-
ton led is on, to switch the air condi-
tioner compressor off. The led will
go off. By pressing again the button
when the led is off, the system auto-
matic control of the compressor acti-
vation is restored; this situation is
indicated by button led lighting up.
When the air conditioner compres-
sor is off, if the system is no longer
able to keep the requested tempera-
ture, the message FULL AUTOon
the display turns off and the system
deactivates air recirculation to pre-
vent window misting up. Instead, if
the system is still able to maintain
the requested temperature, the mes-
sage FULLon the display will stay
on.

159
The air let into the passenger com-
partment cannot be cooled when the
compressor is off. Consequently:
– if the outside temperature is
lower than the set temperature, the
system works normally and can
reach and maintain the set tempera-
ture also when the compressor is off;
– if the outside temperature is
higher than the set temperature, the
system cannot reach the required
temperature. This will be signalled
by flashing the external temperature
value on the display.
When the compressor is off, it is
possible to reset manually the fan
speed; on the contrary, when the
compressor is on and the engine is
running, manual ventilation cannot
be lower than the bar indicated on
the display. Button for fast windscreen
demisting/defrosting (15 fig. 121)
Press this button: the climate con-
trol system will automatically switch
on all the functions required for fast
windscreen and side window demist-
ing/defrosting, that is:
– climate control system compres-
sor on;
– air recirculation off (if on);
– maximum air temperature (HI)
on both displays;
– fan speed according to engine
coolant temperature in order to limit
letting cold air into the passenger
compartment for demisting the win-
dows;
– air flow directed to the wind-
screen and front side window vents;
– heated rear window, external
rearview mirror and windscreen noz-
zle resistances on.The fast windscreen demisting/
defrosting function stays on for
approx. 3 minutes after the engine
coolant temperature exceeds 50 °C
(petrol versions) or 35 °C (diesel
versions).
When the fast demisting/defrosting
function is on, the led on the related
button and that on the heated rear
window button are lighted, while
both leds on the air recirculation
button and that on button √turn
off. Message FULL AUTOon the
display will turn off.
Only the fan speed can be adjusted
and the heated rear window can be
switched off when the fast demist-
ing/defrosting function is on.
Press the fast demisting/defrosting
button again or air recirculation
button or compressor off button to
switch the fast demisting/defrosting
function off and reset the previous
system operation conditions as well
as the last set function.

Button for demisting/defrosting
the heated rear window and
external rearview mirrors
(12 fig. 121)
Press this button to switch on the
heated rear window and external
rearview mirror demisting/defrost-
ing function. The led on the button
will come on.
The device will be automatically
switched off after ten minutes. Press
the button again or stop the engine
to switch the function off. It will not
start up automatically when the
engine is started again.
IMPORTANTDo not apply stick-
ers on the electrical filaments of the
heated rear window inside part to
prevent damage.OFF button (system off)
The switch the climate control sys-
tem off, keep pressed for at least two
seconds the fan button 14 (fig. 121)
on the front control panel or button
7 (fig. 122) on the rear control
panel; all the fan bars on the display
turn off and the message OFFwill
be displayed. The right led on the air
recirculation button will come on.
The climate control system condi-
tions when the system is off are:
– air recirculation and compressor
off button leds off;
– set temperature displays off;
– air recirculation on, thus isolating
the passenger compartment;
– climate control system compres-
sor off;
– fan off.
The heated rear window can be
switched on and off normally when
the system is off.IMPORTANTThe windows may
mist up fast when the climate con-
trol system is off and in certain envi-
ronmental conditions.
The climate control system elec-
tronic control unit stores the system
settings made before the system was
switched off and restores them as
soon as a button is pressed (with the
exception of the heated rear window
button). The function which the
button corresponds to will be
switched on, if it was off when the
system was switched off. It will be
kept if, on the other hand, it was on
when the system was switched off.
Press the AUTObutton to switch
the climate control system back on
and ensure a totally automatic con-
trol.
