˙Splitting of the air flow
Obetween the vents to the lower part
of the passenger compartment
(warmest air) and the dashboard cen-
tre and side outlets (coolest air). This
air flow distribution is particularly use-
ful in spring and autumn when the sun
is shining.
NSplitting of the air flow between
Owindscreen and front side window
demisting/defrosting vents and the
lower part of the passenger compart-
ment. This type of air distribution al-
lows satisfactory heating of the pas-
senger compartment while preventing
possible misting of the windows.
NSplitting of the air flow between
˙windscreen demisting/defrosting vents
and central and side dashboard vents.
This type of air distribution allows sat-
isfactory ventilation when the sun is
shining.

During FULL AUTOoperation the sys-
tem will control automatically air distrib-
ution choosing the most appropriate ac-
cording to climate conditions. When in
FULL AUTOdistribution leds are off.The type of air distribution, when select-
ed by hand, is shown by lighting up of the
relevant led on the selected button. In the
combined function, pressing a button will
activate the relevant function whereas,
pressing a button relevant to an already
operating function will turn off this func-
tion and the relevant button led. To re-
store automatic air distribution control af-
ter a manual selection, press button AU-
TO.
When the driver selects air distribution to
the windscreen, also the air distribution
on passenger side will be distributed to the
windscreen. The passenger can however
select the required air distribution by
pressing the relevant buttons.
Fan speed adjusting buttons L
Press button pto increase or to decrease
the fan speed and therefore the amount
of air admitted into the passenger com-
partment, although keeping the required
temperature set.The fan speed is shown by the lit bars on
the display:
❒max fan speed = all bars lit;
❒min fan speed = one bar lit.
The fan can be cut off only if the climate
control compressor has been switched off
pressing button B.
IMPORTANT To restore automatic fan
speed control after a manual adjustment,
press button AUTO.
AUTO buttons
(automatic operation) H-N
Pressing the AUTObutton (on driver
and/or front passenger side) the system au-
tomatically adjusts the amount and distri-
bution of the air admitted to the passenger
compartment, cancelling all the previous
manual adjustments. This condition is in-
dicated by the message FULL AUTOon
the front system display. Manual operation
of at least one automatic function (air re-
circulation, air distribution, fan speed or cli-
mate control compressor off) will cause
FULLmessage going off the display. This
means that automatic control is not com-
plete (except temperature control which is
always automatic).

IMPORTANT Should the system (after
manual settings) be no longer able to guar-
antee the required temperature set in the
passenger compartment, the set tempera-
ture value will start flashing to indicate this
condition, after one minute the AUTO
message will turn off.
To restore system automatic control at
any time, after one or more manual ad-
justments, press button AUTO.
MONO button (to align set
temperatures and air
distribution) A
Pressing button MONOautomatically
aligns the temperature on the passenger
side with that on the driver side, it is
therefore possible to set the same tem-
perature and air distribution between the
two zones by turning the knob on driver
side. This function is provided to simplify
temperature adjustment of the whole pas-
senger compartment when only the dri-
ver is onboard. Separate operation of set
temperature and air distribution is re-
stored by turning knob H(to set tem-
perature on front passenger side) or by
pressing again button MONOwhen the
button led is on.Air recirculation on/off button C
Air recirculation works according to the
following operating logics:
❒automatic switching on, by pressing one
of the AUTObuttons and indicated by
the turning on of the AUTOicon on the
display near the car outline;
❒forced switching on (inside air recircu-
lation always on), indicated by the turn-
ing off of the button led Cand symbol
íon the display;
❒forced switching off (air recirculation
always off with air inlet from the out-
side), indicated by the turning off of the
button led and symbol
êon the dis-
play. Forced recirculation on/off can be
selected through button C.
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
increase the possibility of the windows
misting inside, especially if the climate con-
trol system is off.When outside temperature is cold, recir-
culation is forced to off (outside air inlet)
to prevent window misting up.
In automatic operation inside air recircu-
lation will be controlled automatically by
the system according to outside environ-
mental conditions.
When setting manual recirculation, word-
ings FULLand AUTOdisappear from
the display.
It is inadvisable to use air re-
circulation on rainy/cold
days as it would considerably increase
the possibility of windows misting up
inside.

Climate control compressor on/off
button B
Pressing button
√when the button led
is on, will deactivate compressor and turn
the button led off. Pressing the button
when the led is off will activate compres-
sor and turn the button led on. When
turning the compressor off, the system will
deactivate air recirculation to prevent win-
dow misting up.
In this event, although the system is able
to keep the required temperature, the
wording FULLwill disappear from the
display. If the system is no longer able to
keep the required temperature, temper-
ature value will flash and the wording
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 temperaturevalue 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.
Fast window demisting/defrosting
button F
Press this button: the climate control sys-
tem will automatically switch on all the
functions required for fast windscreen and
front side window demisting/defrosting,
that is:
❒ switches on climate control compres-
sor when climatic conditions are suit-
able;
❒air recirculation off;
❒maximum air temperature HIon both
areas;
❒activates proper fan speed according to
engine coolant temperature to limit the
flow into the passenger compartment of
air not warm enough to demist the win-
dows;
❒ 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 reach-
es the proper temperature.
When the max. demisting/defrosting func-
tion is on, the button led and the heated
rear window button led are on.
FULL AUTOwording on the display is
off.
When the max. demisting/defrosting func-
tion is on, the only manual operations pos-
sible are manual adjustment of the fan
speed and switching heated rear window
off. Pressing the max. demisting/defrosting
button or the air recirculation buttons or
compressor off button or the AUTO
button, the system switches off the max.
demisting/defrosting function and restores
the operating conditions of the system pri-
or to turning it on.
