HOW TO USE THE CLIMATE

CONTROL SYSTEM

The system can be switched on in

various ways. We recommend start-

ing by pressing the AUTO button

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 AUTO is

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.
