To select the wished air distribution
press the related button and turn off
other possible selections. The con-
nected led switching on and off con-
firm the selection.
When the automatic mode (AUTO)
is on, air distribution is controlled by
the system, thus the related leds are
all turned off.
• compressor on/off: if the com-
pressor is turned off by pressing but-
ton Nwhen the led is lit, the related
led will go off; if the same button is
pressed when the led is switched off,
the system will control the compres-
sor (on/off).
If the system is working in automat-
ic mode the compressor is controlled
by the system according to the outside
temperature.
When the compressor is turned off
with the related led off, air recircula-
tion keeps the conditions prior to
switching off (closed or open) and it is
still possible to activate the open re-
circulation. Even with recirculation
closed, there is still a given quantity
of not treated air depending on the fan
setting and the vehicle speed, so thatwindow misting is prevented in nor-
mal conditions (spring-summer).
• automatic mode (AUTO) set-
ting: this is possible by pressing but-
ton Band the system will be con-
trolled automatically. AUTO and sym-
bol ò(ice) are displayed. It means that
the system will control temperature,
air distribution and the main fan speed.
If button Nis pressed when the sys-
tem is in automatic mode, the com-
pressor and switchover to cold air are
deactivated, the related led and sym-
bol ò(ice) go off and the system
keeps working in automatic mode.
• MAX-DEF on: this is possible by
pressing button Gand window
demisting will be quickly reached.To exit this function press button G
again or one of the following buttons:
A, B, D, E, H, I, M, O.
• rear heated window on: this is
possible by pressing button F, and the
related led comes on. In this way the
rear window electrical resistances are
activated to heat and demist the rear
window. To stop it, press the button
again and the related led will go off.
Anyway, the rear heated window
works for a limited time and turns off
automatically.
Be careful not to dam-
age the rear heated win-
dow resistances when
cleaning it from inside.

• recirculation on: when button O
is pressed it is possible to select the
following travelling conditions: closed
recirculation (relative led on), air com-
ing from outside (led off) recirculation
open, or having the system automatic
control on (led off even if activated).You are recommended
to use the inside air recir-
culation function in the
traffic jam (car lines inside or out-
side galleries) to prevent outside
polluted air from getting into the
vehicle. Anyway, do not use this
function when several people are
onboard, to prevent inside win-
dow misting.
• driver’s and passenger’s side
temperature alignment (MONO)
fig. 88 (for versions without ad-
ditional fans): this is possible by
pressing button D, so a single tem-
perature is reached inside the passen-
ger compartment.
• rear seat air capacity adjust-
ment (REAR) fig. 89 (for versions
without additional fans): this is pos-
sible by pressing button D, thus the
second row passengers can adjust air
capacity with the additional fan knobs
A-fig. 90. The rear fan symbol will be
viewed on the display C.The additional fan effect depends on
the position of knobs A:
0= additional fan with minimum ca-
pacity;
–= additional fan air capacity equal to
50% of the main fan current capacity;
AUTO = additional fan capacity
equal to the main fan capacity;
+= additional fan air capacity equal to
70% of the main fan current capacity.
It is easier to reach the
wished air temperature
conditions with inside air
recirculation. Anyway, it is better
not to use this function in
rainy/cold days because inside
window misting may increase, es-
pecially if the compressor is off.

TURNING THE SYSTEM OFF
The system can be switched off by
turning knurled knob Lanticlockwise
until the car shape is displayed with-
out the fan symbol.
When the system is turned off it
makes the following operations:
– storing of conditions prior to
switching off;
– the graphics on display Cgo off ex-
cept for the car shape;
– the air recirculation is taken to
open position (outside air intake);
– the compressor is excluded;
– the fan is excluded;
– the air is distributed to the wind-
screen;
– the air mixing is in “completely
cold” position.FAILURE INDICATION
If any failures are detected (locked
switches, sensor malfunction, electri-
cal failures, etc.) the system automat-
ically sets the “recovery” mode, which
is displayed by the flashing points sep-
arating the temperature decimals on
the display C. In this case contact a Fi-
at Dealership as soon as possible.
Recovery mode
The system will work in the follow-
ing way:
– driver’s and passenger’s tem-
peratures: aligned and evolving in the
same way;
if buttons Aor Eare locked tem-
perature is set at 21°C by the system;
– main fan, distribution, com-
pressor, recirculation: they work in
automatic mode (AUTO);
– AUTO function:main fan, air dis-
tribution, compressor and air recircu-
lation are automatically controlled by
the system and the impulses on the
relative switches have no effect;– MAX-DEF function: the system
directs air to the windscreen and the
air distribution, compressor, AUTO
and air recirculation switches are not
active, while the main fan and tem-
perature functions are still active;
– REAR function: additional fans
cannot be switched on;
– rear window: cannot be switched
on.
INDEPENDENT ADDITIONAL
HEATER
To improve your comfort, cars with
JTD engines, can be fitted with an in-
dependent additional heater.
After switching the engine off or with
engine idling, the additional heater
could stay on hissing and exhaling
smoke and smell.
