Air recirculation and AQS function
on/off button A
If the AQSsensor is not fitted, air recir-
culation works according to the following
operating logics:
❒forced switching on (inside air recir-
culation always on), indicated by sym-
bol íon the display;
❒forced switching off (air recirculation
always off with air inlet from the out-
side), indicated by symbol
êon the
display.
The above operating conditions are ob-
tained by pressing in sequence the air re-
circulation button A.
Due to safety reasons, after long recircu-
lation activation (over 25 minutes), the
system will deactivate automatically air re-
circulation for 60 seconds to enable out-
side air inlet.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the re-
quired heating or cooling conditions faster. It is however inadvisable to use it on
rainy/cold days as it would considerably in-
crease the possibility of the windows mist-
ing inside, especially if the climate control
system is off.
When outside temperature is below 3°C,
recirculation is forced to off (outside air
inlet) to prevent window misting up.
It will be reactivated automatically if out-
side temperature becomes higher than 5
°C.
The AQSsensor (Air Quality System) in
addition to the above operating logics, en-
ables to control recirculation automati-
cally according to the quality of outside air:
❒automatic control indicated by symbol
≥on the display.
In this event the display will show symbol
ïor ñaccording to actual recircu-
lation operating conditions (on or off).
In automatic operation with AQS,inside
air recirculation is turned on automatical-
ly when the antipollution sensor detectsthe presence of polluted air, for example
when driving in the city, queues and tun-
nels.
With compressor on, in order to prevent
polluted air (exhaust gas) inlet at stops, the
system will stop air recirculation when the
car speed falls below 6 km/h. As the car
speed increases (over 25 km/h), the sys-
tem will restore the previous automatic
operating conditions.
In automatic operation, AQSis deacti-
vated when outside temperature is below
3°C, the system will activate air recircu-
lation (indicated by symbol ≥on the
display). The user can however set it man-
ually by operating in rolling mode the reir-
culation button: pressing the button for
the first time will display the current re-
circulation condition, indicated by symbol
ê.
It will be reactivated automatically if out-
side temperature becomes higher than 5
°C.
Press the button again to select the re-
quired recirculation condition, indicated
by the corresponding symbol on the dis-
play. Under these conditions manual ac-
tivation of the AQSfunction could cause
window misting up.
When air recirculation is set manually,
wording FULLwill turn off and A will dis-
appear from the recirculation symbol on
the display.
It is inadvisable to use the in-
side air recirculation func-
tion with low outside temperature as
windows may mist over quickly.

Pressing button
√when the symbol is dis-
played will deactivate the climate control
system compressor. Pressing the button
when the symbol is not displayed will re-
sume automatic control of compressor ac-
tivation; this condition is indicated by the
relevant symbol on the display.
When turning the compressor off, the sys-
tem will deactivate air recirculation to pre-
vent window misting up. Although the sys-
tem is able to keep the required temper-
ature, the wording FULLwill disappear
from the display. If the system is no longer
able to keep the required temperature,
temperature value will flash and the word-
ing AUTOwill disappear from the display.
IMPORTANT With the climate control
compressor off, it is not possible to admit
air to the passenger compartment with a
temperature below the outside tempera-
ture; moreover, under certain environ-
mental conditions, windows could mist up
fastly since air is not dehumidified.The switching off of the climate control
compressor remains in storage even when
the engine has been stopped.
To restore automatic control for switch-
ing on the climate control compressor,
press again button
√or press button AU-
TO.
With climate control compressor off if
outside temperature is higher than the set
one the system will not be able to keep
the required condition, the temperature
value will then start to flash on the display
for a few seconds and wording AUTO
will then go off.
With climate control compressor off, the
fan speed can be set to zero manually.
With compressor on and engine running,
the fan speed cannot be lower that one
bar on the display.
Compressor will be disabled automatical-
ly with outside temperature below – 1°C.
Under this condition symbol

play will flash for 10 seconds and then go
off.
It will be re-enabled automatically with
outside temperature higher than + 1°C. Fast window demisting/defrosting
button O
Press this button: the climate control sys-
tem will automatically switch on all the

❒switches on climate control compres-
sor when climatic conditions are suit-
able;
❒air recirculation off;
❒maximum air temperature (HI) on
both areas;
❒activates proper fan speed according
to engine coolant temperature to lim-
it the flow into the passenger com-
partment of air not warm enough to
demist the windows;
❒directs air flow to windscreen and
front side windows vents;
❒turns heated rear window on.
IMPORTANT Fast demisting/defrosting
function stays on for about 3 minutes,
since engine coolant temperature exceeds
