FAN SPEED ADJUSTMENT
Proceed as follows:
❒open completely central (4) and side (2) vents;
❒turn knob (B) to the blue sector;
❒set (A) to the required speed;
❒set knob (D) to «;
❒set knob (E) to Úto turn air recirculation offRECIRCULATION
Set knob (E) to ….
This function is particularly useful when the outside air
is heavily polluted (in a traffic jam, tunnel, etc.).
However, it is better not to use it for long periods,
especially if there are several people in the car to
prevent window steaming up.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation system
makes it possible to reach the required “heating” or
“cooling” conditions faster. Do not use the air
recirculation function on rainy/cold days as it would
considerably increase the possibility of the windows
misting inside.

Air temperature
adjustment knobs H-N
Turning the knobs
clockwise or
counterclockwise,
highers or lowers the temperature of the air required
respectively in the left zone (knob N) or right zone
(knob H) of the passenger compartment.
It is possible to personalise required temperatures
(driver and passenger) with a maximum difference of 7
°C.
The temperatures set are shown on the displays near
the relevant knobs.
Pressing button A (MONO) automatically aligns the
temperature on the front passenger’s side with that on
the driver’s side. It is therefore possible to set the
same temperature between the two zones simply
turning the knob on the driver’s side (N).
This function is provided to simplify temperature
adjustment of the whole passenger compartment when
only the driver is on board.
Separate operation of the set temperatures is
automatically restored by turning knobs (H) or
pressing button A (MONO) again when the button led
is on.Turning the knobs clockwise or counterclockwise until
they reach the extreme selections HI or LO, the
maximum heating or cooling functions are respectively
engaged:
❒HI function (highest heating power):
this is activated by turning the temperature knob
clockwise above the max. value (32 °C). It can be
activated independently from the driver’s or
passenger’s side or both (also selecting the MONO
function).
This function can be engaged when requiring to heat
the passenger compartment as quickly as possible,
exploiting the maximum potential of the system. This
function uses the maximum temperature of the
coolant fluid, while air distribution and fan speed are
controlled according to the system settings.
More particularly, max. fan speed will not be
immediately engaged if coolant is not hot enough; this
to prevent admitting air that is not warm enough to
the passenger compartment.
All manual settings are however possible with this
function on.

Set air flow distribution is indicated by the
corresponding button led switching on.
With a combined function set, pressing a button will
turn on the main function of the button pressed,
together with the functions set yet. Pressing the
button of the active function will turn the function off
(led off).
To restore automatic air distribution control after a
manual selection, press button AUTO.
When the driver selects air distribution towards the
windscreen, also the air distribution on passenger’s
side will automatically be directed to the windscreen.
The passenger can however select a different air
distribution by pressing the relevant buttons.Fan speed adjustment buttons (L)
Pressing the ends of button p
increases or decreases the fan speed
and therefore the amount of air
admitted to the passenger
compartment, although keeping the required
temperature.
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.

These operating conditions are obtained pressing in
sequence the air recirculation button (C).
After a preset time, the climate control system will
turn air recirculation off automatically for safety
reasons, thus enabling outside air inlet.IMPORTANT The air recirculation system
makes it possible to reach the required 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
control system is off.
When the outside temperature is below 5-7°C, air
recirculation is switched off (air is taken from the
outside) to prevent misting.

Press this button to switch on the
heated rear window
demisting/defrosting function. The led on the button
will come on.
This function will be automatically switched off after
the preset time, or pressing the button again or when
stopping the engine. It will not start up automatically
when the engine is started again.
IMPORTANT Do not apply stickers on the inside of
the rear window over the heating filaments to avoid
damage that might cause it to stop working properly.❒climate control system compressor off;
❒fan off.
The heated rear window can be switched on and off
normally when the system is off by pressing button
(G).
IMPORTANT The climate control system electronic
unit stores the system settings made before the
system was switched off and restores them as soon as
a button is pressed (with the exception of the heated
rear window button). The function which the button
corresponds to will be switched on, if it was off when
the system was switched off. It will be kept if, on the
other hand, it was on when the system was switched
off.

OFF button (E) (system off)
To switch the climate control system
off, press button (E), also the display
will go off.
The climate control system conditions
when the system is off are the following:
❒Every led off;
❒set temperatures not displayed;
❒air recirculation on, thus isolating the passenger
compartment;

TO INCREASE THE MEMORISED SPEED
The speed memorised can be increased in two ways:
❒pressing the accelerator and then memorising the
new speed reached;
or
❒moving the stalk upwards (+).
Each operation of the stalk will correspond to a slight
increase in speed (about 1 km/h), while keeping the
stalk upwards continuously will correspond to a
continuous speed increase.

TO MEMORISE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❒turn the knurled ring (A) to ON and press the
accelerator pedal to the required speed;
❒move the stalk upwards (+) for at least three
seconds, then release it. The car speed is
memorised and it is therefore possible to release
the accelerator pedal.
In the case of need (when overtaking for instance)
acceleration is possible simply pressing the accelerator
pedal: releasing the accelerator pedal, the car will
return to the speed memorised previously.
TO RESET THE MEMORISED SPEED
If the device has been disengaged for example pressing
the brake or clutch pedal, the memorised speed can
be reset as follows:
❒accelerate gradually until reaching a speed
approaching the one memorised;
❒engage the gear selected at the time of speed
memorising (4th or 5th gear);
❒press the RES button (B).

TO REDUCE MEMORISED SPEED
The speed memorised can be increased in two ways:
❒disengaging the device and then memorising the
new speed;
or
❒moving the stalk downwards (–) until reaching the
new speed which will be memorised automatically.
Each operation of the stalk will correspond to a slight
reduction in speed (about 1 km/h), while keeping the
stalk downwards continuously will correspond to a
continuous speed reduction.DEVICE DISENGAGEMENT
Turn the ring (A) to OFF or the ignition key to STOP.
The device is automatically deactivated also in one of
the following cases:
❒pressing the brake or clutch pedal.
