soft-keys. The system automatically
work to maintain the best comfort
level inside the passengers
compartment.
• When the system is set up for your
comfort level, it is not necessary to
change the settings anymore, simply
allow the system to function
automatically.
• To provide you with maximum
comfort in the automatic mode, during cold start-ups the blower
speed will remain low until the
engine warms up.
Manual operation
The system allows manual selection of
blower speed, air distribution mode,
A/C status and recirculation control.
The blower fan speed can be set to
any fixed speed by using the blower
control. In this case the blower will
operate at a fixed speed until a
different speed is selected. This allows
the front occupants to control the
volume of air circulated in the vehicle
exiting the “AUTO” mode.
The user can also choose the direction
of the airflow by selecting one of the
available mode settings. A/C
operation, recirculation control and
“SYNC” mode can also be manually
selected.
Operating Tips • Continuous use of the air
recirculation in winter, in rainy
weather or humid climate is not
recommended because it may cause
window fogging.
• Interior fogging on the windshield
can be quickly removed by fast
defrosting/defogging. The “Mix”
mode can be used to maintain a clear windshield and provide
sufficient heating. If side window
fogging becomes a problem increase
blower speed.
NOTE:
• Recirculation mode without A/C
should not be used for long periods
of time, as fogging may occur.
• If inside the passenger compartment
there are conditions of high
temperature and humidity, when the
A/C compressor is switched on (A/C
softkey illuminated on MTC+ display
or LED on climate control panel A/C
button ON) there may be some cold
steam at ventilation port outlet: this
situation is normal and does not
indicate air conditioning system
malfunction.
• Automatic Temperature Controls
(ATC) will automatically adjust the
climate control settings to prevent or
eliminate window fogging on the
front windshield.
• Make sure the A/C system air intake
grille, located under the bonnet
directly in front of the windshield, is
free of obstructions such as leaves or
other objects. Leaves collected in the
air intake may reduce airflow, and if
they enter the plenum, they couldDashboard Instruments and Controls
