During fully automatic operation, the on-
ly manual settings required are the fol-
lowing:
❒MONO, to align the air temperature
and distribution set on the passenger’s
side (front or rear) with that on the
driver’s side;
❒ï, 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 heated rear win-
dow and door mirrors.During full automatic system operation,
you can change at any time set tempera-
tures, air distribution and fan speed by us-
ing the relevant buttons or knobs: the sys-
tem will automatically change its settings
to adjust to the new requirements. Dur-
ing FULL AUTOoperation, changing air
distribution and/or flow and/or compres-
sor activation and/or air recirculation will
make the FULLwording disappear. In this
way functions will pass from automatic
control to manual control until pressing
again the AUTObutton. Fan speed is the
same for every area of the passenger com-
partment.
With one or more functions engaged man-
ually, the adjustment of the temperature
of the air admitted to the passenger com-
partment continues to be controlled au-
tomatically by the system, except with the
climate control compressor off: under this
condition in fact, the temperature of the
air admitted to the passenger compart-
ment cannot be lower than outside air
temperature.CONTROLS
Air temperature adjusting
knobs P-G
Turning the knobs clockwise or counter-
clockwise, respectively highers or lowers
the temperature of the air required re-
spectively in the front left zone (knob P)
or in the right zone (knob G) of the pas-
senger compartment.
Since the system controls two zones of
the passenger compartment, it is possi-
ble to personalise required temperatures
(driver and passenger).
The temperatures set are shown on the
displays near the relevant knobs.
Pressing button I (MONO) automatical-
ly aligns the temperature on the passen-
ger’s side with that on the driver’s side;
you can therefore set the same tempera-
ture for both zones by turning knob P on
driver side.
Separate operation of air temperatures
and distribution is restored by turning
knobs or pressing again button I
(MONO) when the button led is on.

AND CONTROLS
Turning the knobs fully clockwise or
counter-clockwise until they reach the ex-
treme selections HI or LO, the maximum
heating or cooling functions are respec-
tively engaged:
❒HI function (highest heating power):
this is turned on by rotating the temper-
ature knob clockwise and passing the max.
temperature value (32°C). It can be acti-
vated independently from driver or front
passenger side or both (also when the
MONOfunction is selected).
When this function is on, the display
shows HI.
This function can be engaged when re-
quiring to heat the passenger compart-
ment 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 possible with this
function on.To switch the function off, simply turn the
knob counter-clockwise and set the re-
quired temperature.
❒LOfunction (highest cooling power):
this is turned on by rotating the temper-
ature knob counter-clockwise and passing
the min. temperature value (16°C). It can
be activated independently from driver or
front passenger side or both (also when
the MONOfunction is selected).
When this function is on, the display
shows LO.
This function can be engaged when re-
quiring to cool the passenger compart-
ment as quickly as possible, exploiting the
maximum potential of the system. This
function activates automatically:
❒MONOfunction;
❒air distribution at central / side vents
(shown by the relevant symbol on the
display);
❒fan at max. speed;
❒climate control compressor.
All manual settings are possible with this
function on.
To switch the function off, simply turn the
knob clockwise and set the required tem-
perature.Front air distribution buttons B-F
Pressing these buttons it is possible to
choose manually one of the seven possi-
ble air distributions to the passenger com-
partment (right or left side):
▲Air flow to the windscreen and front
side window vents to demist or de-
frost them.
˙Air flow at central and side dash-
board vents to ventilate the chest
and the face during the hot season.
▼Air flow towards the front and rear
lower parts of the passenger com-
partment. Due to the natural ten-
dency of heat to spread upwards,
this type of distribution allows heat-
ing of the passenger compartment
in the shortest time, also giving a
prompt feeling of warmth.
˙
▼Splitting of the air flow between the
vents to the lower part of the pas-
senger 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.

Fan speed adjusting buttons M/N
Press buttons
p+or p–to increase or
to decrease the fan speed and therefore
the amount of air admitted into the pas-
senger compartment.
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 cli-
mate control compressor has been
switched off pressing button B.
IMPORTANT To restore automatic
fan speed control after a manual ad-
justment, press button AUTO.
Pressing again button p–after min fan
speed will turn the system off.
The display will show OFFand the air re-
circulation condition fig. 53. AUTO buttons
(automatic operation) C-E
Pressing the AUTObutton (on driver
and/or front passenger side) the system
automatically adjusts the amount and dis-
tribution of the air admitted to the pas-
senger compartment, cancelling all the
previous manual adjustments.
This condition is indicated by the message
FULL AUTOon the front system dis-
play.
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 con-
trol which is always automatic).IMPORTANT Should the system (after
manual settings) be no longer able to guar-
antee the required temperature set in the
passenger compartment, the set tempera-
ture value will start flashing to indicate this
condition, after one minute the AUTO
message will turn off.
To restore system automatic control at
any time, after one or more manual ad-
justments, press button AUTO.
MONO button
(to align set temperatures
and air distribution) I
Pressing button MONOautomatically
aligns the temperature on the passenger
side with that on the driver side, it is there-
fore possible to set the same temperature
and air distribution between the two zones
by turning the knob on driver side. This
function is provided to simplify tempera-
ture adjustment of the whole passenger
compartment when only the driver is on-
board. Separate operation of set temper-
ature and air distribution is restored by
turning knob Por G(to set temperature
on front passenger side) or by pressing
again button MONO, when the wording
is shown on the display.
