to the natural tendency of heat to rise, this
type of distribution warms the passenger

the windows from misting up.
Button B MAX
- MAX-DEF function
activation
When theMAXbutton
is pressed, the system
activates all the functions required for fast
demisting/defrosting, that is:
❒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 the windscreen and front
side windows❒Button C
- Climate control compressor
activation/deactivation
When the
symbol is lit on the display, press
button C to switch off the compressor.
When the compressor is deactivated:
❒the system will deactivate air recirculation to
prevent the windows from misting up;
❒it is not possible to convey air to the passenger
compartment with a temperature below the
outside temperature (the temperature indicated
on the display will flash when the system cannot
guarantee the required comfort conditions);
❒the fan speed can be manually reset (with
compressor enabled, ventilation cannot go
below a bar shown on the display).
Button D
- Internal air recirculation
on/off
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.
IMPORTANT It is inadvisable to use air
recirculation when the outside temperature is low,
since the windows could mist rapidly.

DESCRIPTION
The automatically controlled parameters and
functions are:
❒air temperature at the vents;
❒air distribution at the vents;
❒fan speed (continuous variation of the air flow)
❒compressor activation (for cooling/
dehumidifying the air)
❒air recirculation.
All functions may be changed manually. In other
words, you may select one or more functions
and change the parameters as required. Automatic
control of the manually changed functions will
be suspended: the system will only override your
settings for safety-related reasons (e.g. risk of
misting).
Manual selections always have higher priority over
automatic settings and are stored until the user
switches the system back to automatic control
expect for cases in which the system intervenes for
particular safety-related reasons. You can adjust
one function manually without affecting the
automatic control of the others.
The amount of air introduced into the passenger
compartment is not affected by car speed; it is
regulated by the fan, which is controlled
electronically.The temperature of the air introduced is always
controlled automatically, according to the
temperature set in the display for the driver and
the front passenger (except when the system is off
or in certain conditions when the compressor is
deactivated).
The system allows the following to be set or
adjusted manually:
❒air temperature;
❒fan speed (continuous variation)
❒air distribution with 5 positions;
❒compressor activation
❒single zone/dual zone distribution priority
❒rapid defrosting/demisting function
❒air recirculation
❒heated rear window
❒system deactivation.

is however advisable to press the AUTO button
and set the desired temperature on the display.
The climate control system allows you to
customise the temperatures requested.
The climate control system compressor works only
with the engine running and with an outside
temperature of above 0°C.
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
OPERATION
Press the AUTO button; the system will
automatically adjust:
❒the amount of air introduced into the passenger
compartment;
❒the distribution of the air in the passenger
compartment;
cancelling all previous manual adjustments.
During climate control system automatic
operation, the word AUTO appears on the display.During automatic operation it is still possible to
adjust the temperatures set and carry out the
following operations manually:
❒fan speed adjustment
❒air distribution selection
❒internal air recirculation on/off button;
❒climate control compressor activation.
WARNING
It is advisable not to use the internal
air recirculation function when the
outside temperature is low, because the
windows could mist rapidly.

❒climate control compressor activation (with an
outside temperature of above 0°C);
❒deactivation, if previously activated, of the
internal air recirculation
❒activation of heated rear window (LED on
buttonMAX
on) and door mirror heater
coils
❒setting maximum air temperature
❒activation of air flow.DEMISTING/DEFROSTING OF HEATED
REAR WINDOW AND DOOR MIRRORS
Press button
to activate: when this function is
activated, the button LED switches on.
This function is timed and will deactivate
automatically after 20 minutes. Press button
again to switch the function off in advance.

deactivated, air taken from the outside)
❒forced activation (internal air circulation always
activated).
When the OFF button is pressed, the climate
control system automatically activates internal air
recirculation. External air recirculation can always
be activated by pressing button
