USING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
The system can be started in different
ways, but it is advisable to start by press-
ing the AUTObutton and then turning
the knobs to set the temperature required
on the display.
The system will start running automatically
in this way and the set comfortable tem-
perature will be reached as quickly as pos-
sible. The system will adjust the temper-
ature, the quantity and the distribution of
the air introduced into the passenger com-
partment and will manage the recircula-
tion function and the compressor.
Manual intervention is only required for
the following functions during fully auto-
matic operation.
❒Tair recirculation, to keep the
function always either on or off;
❒Zto speed up demisting/defrosting of
windscreen, rear window and exter-
nal rearview mirrors;During completely automatic system op-
eration, you can vary the set temperature,
the air distribution and the fan speed us-
ing the corresponding buttons or knobs
at any time: the system will automatically
change settings to adapt to the new re-
quest.
During fully automatic operation (FULL
AUTO), the word FULLwill disappear
if the air distribution, air speed, compres-
sor and/or recirculation settings are
changed. In this way, the functions will
switch from automatic to manual control
until AUTOis pressed again. With on or
more manually set functions, the intro-
duced air temperature is still managed au-
tomatically by the system, except for when
the compressor is off: in the case, the air
introduced into the passenger compart-
ment cannot be cooler than the outside
air.Air temperature adjustment
knob (I)
Turn the knob either clockwise or anti-
clockwise to increase or lower the re-
quested temperature in the passenger
compartment. The set temperature is
shown on the display.
Turn the knob either all to the right or
all to the left to the extreme HIor LO
position to use the maximum heating or
maximum cooling functions:
❒HI function (maximum heating):
select by turning the temperature knob
clockwise over the maximum value
(32 °C).
This function may be used to heat up the
passenger compartment exploiting the
system potential to the maximum. In this
condition, the system stop controlling
temperature automatically and sets air
mixing to maximum heating. The air speed
and distribution are fixed.
Specifically, if the heating fluid is not suffi-
ciently warm, the fan will not start up at
the maximum speed immediately to limit
introducing excessively cool air into the
passenger compartment.
All manual settings will be allowed when
this function is on.
