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 REAR is off, control of

front passenger side is on, but when

button REAR is 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 HI or

LO, to obtain maximum heating or

cooling, respectively:

– HI function (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

MONO function).

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.
