USING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
The system can be started in different
ways, but it is advisable to start by press-
ing the AUTObutton and then turning
the knobs to set the temperature required
on the display.
The system will start running automatically
in this way and the set comfortable tem-
perature will be reached as quickly as pos-
sible. The system will adjust the temper-
ature, the quantity and the distribution of
the air introduced into the passenger com-
partment and will manage the recircula-
tion function and the compressor.
Manual intervention is only required for
the following functions during fully auto-
matic operation.
❒Tair recirculation, to keep the
function always either on or off;
❒Zto speed up demisting/defrosting of
windscreen, rear window and exter-
nal rearview mirrors;During completely automatic system op-
eration, you can vary the set temperature,
the air distribution and the fan speed us-
ing the corresponding buttons or knobs
at any time: the system will automatically
change settings to adapt to the new re-
quest.
During fully automatic operation (FULL
AUTO), the word FULLwill disappear
if the air distribution, air speed, compres-
sor and/or recirculation settings are
changed. In this way, the functions will
switch from automatic to manual control
until AUTOis pressed again. With on or
more manually set functions, the intro-
duced air temperature is still managed au-
tomatically by the system, except for when
the compressor is off: in the case, the air
introduced into the passenger compart-
ment cannot be cooler than the outside
air.Air temperature adjustment
knob (I)
Turn the knob either clockwise or anti-
clockwise to increase or lower the re-
quested temperature in the passenger
compartment. The set temperature is
shown on the display.
Turn the knob either all to the right or
all to the left to the extreme HIor LO
position to use the maximum heating or
maximum cooling functions:
❒HI function (maximum heating):
select by turning the temperature knob
clockwise over the maximum value
(32 °C).
This function may be used to heat up the
passenger compartment exploiting the
system potential to the maximum. In this
condition, the system stop controlling
temperature automatically and sets air
mixing to maximum heating. The air speed
and distribution are fixed.
Specifically, if the heating fluid is not suffi-
ciently warm, the fan will not start up at
the maximum speed immediately to limit
introducing excessively cool air into the
passenger compartment.
All manual settings will be allowed when
this function is on.

Press these buttons to manually set one
of the seven air distribution settings:▲Air flow to the windscreen and front
side window vents to demist or de-
frost them.
˙Air flow at central and side dashboard
vents to ventilate the chest and the
face during the hot season.
▼Air flow to the front and rear foot well
vents. Thanks to the natural tenden-
cy of hot air to spread upwards, this
distribution pattern allows to warm
the passenger compartment up as
quickly as possible, providing an im-
mediate feeling of warmth.
˙
▼Air flow distributed between foot well
vents (hotter air) and central and side
dashboard vents (cooler air). This dis-
tribution is particularly useful in spring
and autumn on a sunny day.
▲
▼Air flow distributed between foot well
vents and windscreen and front side
window defrosting/demisting vents.
This allows an adequate warming of
the passenger compartment and pre-
vents the windows from misting up.
▲
˙Air flow distributed between wind-
screen and front side window de-
froster/demister and central and side
dashboard vents. This distribution al-
lows to maintain good levels of com-
fort and the passenger compartment
adequately cool (summer).

▼Air flow distributed between wind-

tains a good level of comfort both in
summer and winter.
The set distribution is shown by the cor-
responding LEDs on the selected buttons.
To restore automatic air distribution con-
trol after a manual adjustment, press but-
ton AUTO.
