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 with that on the driver’s side;
❒•air recirculation, to keep it always
on or off;
❒-to speed up demisting/defrosting of
windscreen, 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.During (FULL AUTO) operation, chang-
ing air distribution and/or flow and/or
compressor activation and/or air recircu-
lation will make the FULLwording dis-
appear. In this way the system will keep
on controlling automatically all functions,
excluding those changed manually. Fan
speed is the same for every area of the
passenger compartment.
Air temperature adjusting
knobs H - N
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 N) or
in the right zone (knob H) of the passenger
compartment. Since the system controls
two zones of the passenger compartment,
it is possible to personalise required tem-
peratures (driver and passenger) with a
maximum difference of 7 °C. The temper-
atures set are shown on the displays near
the relevant knobs. Pressing button A
(MONO) automatically aligns the temper-
ature on the passenger’s side with that on
the driver’s side; you can therefore set the
same temperature for both zones by turn-
ing knob Non driver side. Separate oper-
ation of air temperatures and distribution is
restored by turning knobs Hor pressing
again button A(MONO) when the button
led is on.Turn the knobs fully clockwise or counter-
clockwise to engage respectively HI(max-
imum heating) or LO(maximum cooling).
To deactivate these two functions, just
turn the temperature knob and set the re-
quired temperature.
Front air distribution buttons I-M
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):NAir 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.
OAir flow towards the front and rear
lower parts of the passenger com-
partment. Due to the natural tenden-
cy of heat to spread upwards, this type
of distribution allows heating of the
passenger compartment in the short-
est time, also giving a prompt feeling
of warmth.

˙Splitting of the air flow
Obetween the vents to the lower part
of the passenger compartment
(warmest air) and the dashboard cen-
tre and side outlets (coolest air). This
air flow distribution is particularly use-
ful in spring and autumn when the sun
is shining.
NSplitting of the air flow between
Owindscreen and front side window
demisting/defrosting vents and the
lower part of the passenger compart-
ment. This type of air distribution al-
lows satisfactory heating of the pas-
senger compartment while preventing
possible misting of the windows.

˙windscreen demisting/defrosting vents
and central and side dashboard vents.
This type of air distribution allows sat-

During FULL AUTOoperation the sys-
tem will control automatically air distrib-
ution choosing the most appropriate ac-
cording to climate conditions. When in
FULL AUTOdistribution leds are off.The type of air distribution, when select-
ed by hand, is shown by lighting up of the
relevant led on the selected button. In the
combined function, pressing a button will
activate the relevant function whereas,
pressing a button relevant to an already
operating function will turn off this func-
tion and the relevant button led. To re-
store automatic air distribution control af-
ter a manual selection, press button AU-
TO.
When the driver selects air distribution to
the windscreen, also the air distribution
on passenger side will be distributed to the
windscreen. The passenger can however
select the required air distribution by
pressing the relevant buttons.
Fan speed adjusting buttons L
Press button pto increase or to decrease
the fan speed and therefore the amount
of air admitted into the passenger com-
partment, although keeping the required
temperature set.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 AUTO.
AUTO buttons
(automatic operation) H-N
Pressing the AUTObutton (on driver
and/or front passenger side) the system au-
tomatically adjusts the amount and distri-
bution of the air admitted to the passenger
compartment, cancelling all the previous
manual adjustments. This condition is in-
dicated by the message FULL AUTOon
the front system display. Manual operation
of at least one automatic function (air re-
circulation, air distribution, fan speed or cli-
mate control compressor off) will cause
FULLmessage going off the display. This
means that automatic control is not com-
plete (except temperature control which is
always automatic).
