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 con-
stant the comfort inside the passenger
compartment and to compensate any vari-
ation of the outside climate conditions, in-
cluding sunshine detected by a proper sen-
sor provided for the purpose.
The climate control system automatically
controls and adjusts the following para-
meters and functions:
❒air temperature at driver/front pas-
senger vents;
❒air distribution at driver/front passen-
ger vents;
❒fan speed (continuous air flow varia-
tion);
❒compressor switching on (to cool/de-
humidify 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 im-
plement the automatic control of the func-
tions 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, ex-
cept when the system cuts in for particu-
lar safety conditions.
The control of functions not changed man-
ually remains automatic.
The amount of air admitted to the pas-
senger compartment does not depend on
the car speed, since it is electronically con-
trolled by the fan.
In any case, the temperature of the air ad-
mitted to the passenger compartment is
controlled automatically (except when the
system is off) according to the tempera-
tures set on the driver’s and front pas-
senger’s displays or under certain climat-
ic conditions if the compressor is off).The system enables to set or to change
the following parameters and functions
manually:❒air temperatures on driver/front pas-
senger side;
❒fan speed (continuous variation);
❒air distribution on five levels (driver/
front passenger side);
❒climate control compressor on/off en-
able;
❒monozone/two-zone distribution pri-
ority;
❒fast demisting/defrosting;
❒air recirculation;
❒rear heated window;
❒system off;

SWITCHING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM ON
The system can be started in different
ways, but it is advisable to press one of the
AUTObuttons and then to turn the
knobs to set the temperatures required
on the display.
It is possible to personalise required tem-
peratures (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 condi-
tioner compressor on/off.

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;
❒…, air recirculation, to keep it al-
ways on or off;
❒-, to speed up demisting/defrosting
of windscreen, front side windows,
rear window and door mirrors;
❒(, to demist/defrost the rear heat-
ed window and the door mirrors.
During completely automatic system op-
eration, 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 re-
quirements.
During full automatic operation (FULL
AUTO), any change in air distribution
and/or air flow and/or compressor turn-
ing on and/or air recirculation will obtain
FULLdisappearing. In this way functions
will be controlled manually until pressing
the AUTObutton again. The fan speed is
the same for all passenger compartment
areas.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. In fact, in
this condition, the air admitted to the pas-
senger compartment cannot have a low-
er temperature than the outside air.
CONTROLS
Air temperature
adjustment knobs
H-N
Turning the knobs clock-
wise or counterclock-
wise, highers or lowers
the temperature of the
air required respectively
in the left zone (knob N)
or right zone (knob H)
of the passenger com-
partment.
It is possible to personalise required tem-
peratures (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) automati-
cally 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 tem-
perature adjustment of the whole pas-
senger compartment when only the dri-
ver is on board.
Separate operation of the set tempera-
tures is automatically restored by turning
knobs (H) or pressing button A
(MONO) again when the button led is on.
Turning the knobs clockwise or counter-
clockwise until they reach the extreme se-
lections HIor LO, the maximum heat-
ing or cooling functions are respectively
engaged:
❒HIfunction (highest heating power):
this is activated by turning the tempera-
ture knob clockwise above the max. val-
ue (32 °C). It can be activated indepen-
dently from the driver’s or passenger’s
side or both (also selecting the MONO
function).
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.

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

(H-N)
(automatic
operation)
Pressing the AUTO
button (on driver and/or
front passenger side) the
system automatically ad-
justs the amount and dis-
tribution of the air ad-
mitted to the passenger
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 FULLmessage 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 temper-
ature value will start flashing to indicate
this condition, after one minute the AU-
TOmessage will turn off.
To restore automatic system control af-
ter 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 provid-
ed to simplify temperature adjustment of
the whole passenger compartment when
only the driver is on board.
Separate operation of the set tempera-
tures and air distribution is automatically
restored by turning knob H-fig. 65or
pressing button MONO Aagain when
the button led is on.

Air recirculation
on/off button (C)
Air recirculation is con-
trolled according to the
following operating log-
ics:
❒forced switching on (air recirculation
always on), indicated by the turning on
of the led on button C-fig. 65and
symbol íon the display;
❒forced switching off (air recirculation
always off with air inlet from the out-
side), 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 au-
tomatically for safety reasons, thus en-
abling 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 con-
trol 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 mist-
ing.
Climate control
compressor on/off
button (B)
Press the √button,
when the button led is
on, to switch the com-
pressor off. The led will go off. By press-
ing again the button when the led is off,
the system automatic control of the com-
pressor activation is restored; this condi-
tion is indicated by button led lighting up.
When the air conditioner compressor is
off, the system deactivates air recircula-
tion to prevent window misting up. Al-
though the system is still able to maintain
the required temperature, the message
FULLon the display will go off. If the sys-
tem is no longer able to keep the required
temperature, also the message AUTO
will turn off.IMPORTANT Air at a temperature low-
er 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 en-
gine is stopped. Either press again button
√(in this case the system operates as
heater only) or AUTOto reset auto-
matic control of the compressor.
With compressor off, if the outside tem-
perature is higher than the set tempera-
ture, the system cannot reach the re-
quired temperature. This will be signalled
by the flashing of set temperature value on
the display for a few seconds, then the
message AUTOwill go off.
When the compressor is off, it is possi-
ble to reset manually the fan speed (no bar
displayed).
When the compressor is on and the en-
gine is running, fan speed cannot be low-
er than the minimum (one bar displayed).
It is inadvisable to use the air
recirculation feature with
low outside temperature as the win-
dows might mist over quickly.
