SWITCHING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM ON
The system can be started in different
ways, but it is advisable to set the tem-
peratures required on the display; then
press button AUTO.
It is possible to personalise required tem-
peratures (driver and passenger) with a
maximum difference of 7°C.
The climate control system compressor
works only with the engine running and
outside temperature above 4°C.It is possible to personalise the choices
made automatically by the system inter-
vening manually on the following controls:
❒fan speed adjustment knob;
❒air distribution selection button;
❒inside air recirculation and AQS func-
tion on/off button;
❒climate control compressor button.
It is inadvisable to use the in-
side air recirculation feature
with low outside temperature as the
windows might mist over quickly.
WARNING
HOW TO USE THE AUTOMATIC
FUNCTION (AUTO)
Press button AUTO; the system will au-
tomatically adjust:
❒air inlet in the passenger’s compart-
ment;
❒air distribution in the passenger’s com-
partment;
thus cancelling all the previous manual ad-
justments.
When the climate control system is work-
ing automatically, FULL AUTO is dis-
played.

AQS (Air Quality System)
function activation
The AQS function, (message AQS on the
display), turns on air recirculation auto-
matically when it detects the presence of
outside polluted air (for example when
driving in the city, queues and tunnels).
IMPORTANT When the AQS function is
active, after 15 minutes of consecutive in-
ternal air recirculation, the climate con-
trol system enables outside air inlet (re-
gardless of air pollution level) for approx.
1 minute to change air inside the passen-
ger compartment. INSIDE AIR RECIRCULATION
ON/OFF AND AQS FUNCTION
(Air Quality System)
Press button
T.
Inside air recirculation is controlled by
three operating logics:
❒automatic control, indicated by message
AQS on the display and button led
Toff;
❒forced switching off (inside air recircu-
lation always off with air inlet from out-
side), button led
Toff;
❒forced switching on (inside air recircu-
lation always on with air inlet from out-
side), button led
Ton.Pressing button OFF, the climate control
system turns on automatically the inside
air recirculation function (button led
Ton). In these conditions it is how-
ever possible to take air from the outside
(and vice versa) pressing button
T(button led off).
With button OFF pressed (button led on),
the AQS (Air Quality System) function
cannot be activated.
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 consider-
ably increase the possibility of the win-
dows misting inside, especially if the cli-
mate control system is off. It is advisable
to turn on the inside air recirculation sys-
tem in queues or tunnels to avoid admit-
ting polluted air from outside. The pro-
longed use of this function should how-
ever be avoided, especially with several
persons on board, to avoid the possibili-
ty of the windows misting inside.

compartment:
QAir flow to the windscreen and
front side window vents to demist

rear lower parts of the passenger
compartment. This type of distri-
bution allows heating of the pas-
senger compartment in the short-
est time.

let, windscreen and front side win-
dow demisting vents.

SENSOR (daylight sensor) fig. 50
(where provided)
It detects the changes of the external light
intensity of the car according to the light
sensitivity set: greater is the sensitivity,
smaller is the amount of external light nec-
essary to control the switching-on of the
exterior headlights. The daylight sensor
sensitivity can be adjusted with the “Set-
up menu” on the display.Activation
Turn the knurled ring to
2A: in this way,
the automatic activation of the side/tail-
lights and dipped beam headlights are si-
multaneously enabled according to the ex-
ternal luminosity.
During the sensor operation lights can on-
ly be made flashing. Deactivation
As a result of the sensor control, the main
beam headlights will switch off and, after
around 10 seconds, sidelights will switch
off too.
The light sensor is not able to detect the
fog presence, lights shall therefore be
switched on manually.
