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.
