RECIRCULATION
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.

AUTOMATIC TWO-ZONE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM (where provided)
GENERAL
The car is fitted with a two-zone climate control
system which makes it possible to separately adjust
the air temperature on the driver’s side and on the
passenger’s side. Temperature control is based on
the “equivalent temperature” logic, i.e.: the system
continuously works to keep constant the comfort
inside the passenger compartment and to
compensate any variation of the outside climate
conditions, including sunshine detected by a proper
sensor provided for the purpose.
The climate control system automatically controls
and adjusts the following parameters and
functions:
❒air temperature at driver/front passenger vents;
❒air distribution at driver/front passenger vents;
❒fan speed (continuous air flow variation);❒compressor switching on (to cool/dehumidify
air);
❒air recirculation.
All the above functions can be changed manually at
any time, i.e.: you can always modify one or more
function settings. In this event, the system will no
longer implement the automatic control of the
functions changed manually (except for safety
reasons, e.g.: risk of window misting).
Manual selections prevail over automatic ones and
remain in storage until the user decides to resume
automatic control, except when the system cuts in
for particular safety conditions.
The control of functions not changed manually
remains automatic.
The amount of air admitted to the passenger
compartment does not depend on the car speed,
since it is electronically controlled by the fan.
In any case, the temperature of the air admitted to
the passenger compartment is controlled
automatically (except when the system is off)
according to the temperatures set on the driver’s
and front passenger’s displays or under certain
climatic conditions if the compressor is off).

SWITCHING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM ON
The system can be started in different ways, but it is
advisable to press one of the AUTO buttons and
then to turn the knobs to set the temperatures
required on the display.
It is possible to personalise required temperatures
(driver and passenger) with a maximum difference
of 7 °C.
This way the system will start working completely
automatically to reach the temperatures set as
quickly as possible. The system will adjust the air
temperature, flow and distribution and will control
the air recirculation function and the conditioner
compressor on/off.
During fully automatic operation, the only manual
settings required are the following:
❒MONO, to align the air temperature and
distribution set on the passenger’s side (front or
rear) with that on the driver’s side;
❒…, air recirculation, to keep it always on or
off;
❒-, to speed up demisting/defrosting of
windscreen, front side windows, rear window
and door mirrors;
❒(, to demist/defrost the rear heated window
and the door mirrors.During completely automatic system operation, the
temperatures, air distribution and the fan speed set
can be changed at any time through the relevant
buttons or knobs: the system will automatically
change its settings to adjust to the new
requirements.
During full automatic operation (FULL AUTO),
any change in air distribution and/or air flow
and/or compressor turning on and/or air
recirculation will obtain FULL disappearing. In this
way functions will be controlled manually until
pressing the AUTO button again. The fan speed is
the same for all passenger compartment areas.
With one or more functions engaged manually, the
adjustment of the temperature of the air admitted to
the passenger compartment continues to be
controlled automatically by the system, except with
the climate control compressor off. In fact, in this
condition, the air admitted to the passenger
compartment cannot have a lower temperature than
the outside air.

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.

selection buttons
I-M
Pressing the relevant
buttons it is possible to
manually choose one of the five possible air
distributions to the left and right side of the
passenger compartment:
▲Air flow to the windscreen and front side window
vents to demist or defrost them.
˙Air flow to dashboard central and side vents to
provide satisfactory ventilation to the chest and
face, specially during the summer.
▼Air flow towards the front and rear lower parts of
the passenger compartment. Due to the natural
tendency of heat to spread upwards, this type of
distribution allows heating of the passenger com-
partment in the shortest time, also giving a prompt
feeling of warmth to the coldest parts of the body.
˙
▼Splitting of the air flow between the vents to the
lower part of the passenger compartment
(warmest air) and the dashboard centre and side
outlets (coolest air). This air flow distribution is
particularly useful in spring and autumn, when
the sun is shining.
▲
▼Splitting of the air flow between the lower part of
the passenger compartment and the windscreen
and front side window demisting/defrosting vents.
This type of air distribution allows satisfactory
heating of the passenger compartment while pre-
venting possible misting of the windows.
