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

(automatic
operation)
Pressing the AUTO
button (on driver and/or front passenger side) the
system automatically adjusts the amount and
distribution of the air admitted to the passenger
compartment, cancelling all the previous manual
adjustments.
This condition is indicated by the message FULL
AUTO on the front system display.
Manual operation of at least one automatic function
(air recirculation, air distribution, fan speed or
climate control compressor off) will cause FULL
message going off the display. This means that
automatic control is not complete (except
temperature control which is always automatic).
IMPORTANT Should the system (after manual
settings) be no longer able to guarantee the required
temperature set in the passenger compartment, the
set temperature value will start flashing to indicate
this condition, after one minute the AUTO message
will turn off.
To restore automatic system control after one or
more manual selections, press button AUTO.MONO button A (alignment of set
temperatures and air distribution)
Pressing button 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 and air distribution between the two
zones simply turning the knob on the driver’s side.
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 and air
distribution is automatically restored by turning
knob (H) or pressing button MONO (A) again when
the button led is on.
Air recirculation on/
off button C
Air recirculation is controlled
according to the following operating
logics:
❒forced switching on (air recirculation always
on), indicated by the turning on of the led on
button C and symbol íon the display;
❒forced switching off (air recirculation always off
with air inlet from the outside), indicated by the
turning off of the button led and êon the
display.

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).
