AUTOMATIC CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
(where provided)
GENERAL
The automatic climate control system ad-
justs the temperature, the quantity and the
distribution of the air in the passenger
compartment. Temperature is controlled
on the basis of an “equivalent tempera-
ture” principle; in other words, the sys-
tem continuously works to keep the com-
fort level inside the car constant and to
compensate for possible variations of ex-
ternal conditions, including sun radiation
detected by a specific sensor.The automatically controlled parameters
and functions are:
❒air temperature at the vents;
❒air distribution at the vents;
❒fan speed (continuous air flow varia-
tion);
❒compressor fan on (for cooling/dehu-
midifying the air);
❒air recirculation.All functions may be manually changed. In
order words, you may select one or more
functions and change the parameters as
required. Automatic control of the man-
ually changed functions will be suspended:
the system will change override your set-
tings only for safety related reasons (e.g.
risk of misting up).
Manual selections will always have higher
priority over automatic settings and will
be stored until the user switches the sys-
tem back to automatic control by press-
ing AUTOexpect for the cases in which
the system will intervene for particular,
safety-related reasons.
You can adjust one function automatical-
ly and have the automatic system control
all the others.
The air temperature is always automati-
cally controlled according to the temper-
ature shown on the display (except for
when the system is off or in certain con-
ditions when the compressor is not run-
ning).
