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.
WARNINGIt is inadvisable to use the air recirculation feature with low outside temperature
as the windows might mist over quickly.

Press the
√button, when the button
led is on, to switch the compressor
off. The led will go off. By pressing
again the button when the led is off, the system
automatic control of the compressor activation is
restored; this condition is indicated by button led
lighting up.
When the air conditioner compressor is off, the
system deactivates air recirculation to prevent
window misting up. Although the system is still able
to maintain the required temperature, the message
FULL on the display will go off. If the system is no
longer able to keep the required temperature, also
the message AUTO will turn off.
IMPORTANT Air at a temperature lower than that
of the outside air cannot be let into the passenger
compartment when the compressor is off.
Furthermore, in particular environmental
conditions, the windows could mist up fast because
the air is no longer dehumidified.Setting will be stored also when the engine is
stopped.
Either press again button √(in this case the system
operates as heater only) or AUTO to reset automatic
control of the compressor.
With compressor off, if the outside temperature is
higher than the set temperature, the system cannot
reach the required temperature. This will be
signalled by the flashing of set temperature value on
the display for a few seconds, then the message
AUTO will go off.
When the compressor is off, it is possible to reset
manually the fan speed (no bar displayed).
When the compressor is on and the engine is
running, fan speed cannot be lower than the
minimum (one bar displayed).
