The temperature of the delivered air
is always controlled automatically de-
pending on the temperature values set
on the driver’s and front passenger’s
display (except for cases in which the
system is OFF or the compressor dis-
engaged).
The following parameters and func-
tions can be set or changed manually:
❒temperature of air on driver’s/
front passenger’s side;
❒fan speed (continuous variation);
❒air distribution on five levels (dri-
ver’s/front passenger’s side);
❒climate control compressor ON;
❒monozone/two-zone distribution
priority;
❒fast demisting/defrosting;
❒air recirculation;
❒rear window demister;
❒system deactivation. ❒compressor ON (for air
cooling/de-humidification);
❒air recirculation.
All functions may be manually
changed. In order words, you may se-
lect one or more functions and change
the parameters as required. Auto-
matic control of the manually
changed functions will be suspended:
the system will change override your
settings only for safety-related reasons
(e.g. risk of misting up).
Manual selections always have higher
priority over automatic settings and
are stored until the user switches the
system back to automatic control ex-
pect for cases in which the system in-
tervenes for particular safety-related
reasons.
You can adjust one function automat-
ically and have the automatic system
control all the others.
The amount of air delivered to the
passenger compartment depends on
the car speed, because it is regulated
by the electronic fan.AUTOMATIC
TWO-ZONE
CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
(where provided)
INTRODUCTION
The automatic two-zone climate con-
trol system adjusts the temperature
and distribution of air in the passen-
ger compartment in two zones: the
driver’s side and the passenger’s side.
Temperature is controlled on the ba-
sis of an “equivalent temperature”
principle. In other words, the system
continuously works to keep the com-
fort level inside the car constant and
to compensate for possible variations
of external conditions, including sun
radiation detected by a specific sen-
sor.
The automatically controlled para-
meters and functions are:
❒air temperature delivered to dri-
ver/front passenger vents;
❒air distribution to driver/front pas-
senger vents;
❒fan speed (continuous air flow
variation);

During fully automatic operation the
set temperatures, the air distribution
and fan speed can be changed using
the corresponding supplied buttons or
knobs at any time. The system will
automatically change the settings to
adapt to the new request.
During fully automatic operation
(FULL AUTO), the word FULLwill
disappear if the air distribution, air
speed, compressor and/or recircula-
tion settings are changed. In this way,
the functions will switch from auto-
matic to manual control until AUTO
is pressed again. There is only one fan
speed in all the areas of the passenger
compartment.
With on or more manually set func-
tions, the delivered air temperature is
still managed automatically by the
system, except for when the compres-
sor is off. In the case, the air delivered
into the passenger compartment can-
not be cooler than the outside air. During fully automatic operation, the
only functions that are enabled man-
ually are:
❒MONOto align the air tempera-
ture and distribution on the pas-
senger’s side with that on the dri-
ver’s side;
❒
…, air recirculation, to keep it
always on or off;
❒
-to speed up demisting/defrost-
ing of windscreen, side windows,
rear window and door mirrors;
❒
(to demist/defrost the rear win-
dow and door mirrors. USING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
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 re-
quired on the display.
As the system manages two zones in
the passenger compartment, the driver
and front passenger can select differ-
ent temperature values with a maxi-
mum difference of 7 °C.
The system starts running automati-
cally in this way in order to reach
comfortable temperature as quickly
as possible depending on the set tem-
perature values. The system adjusts
the temperature, amount and distrib-
ution of air delivered to the passenger
compartment. In addition, it manages
the recirculation function to engage
the climate control system compres-
sor.

▼Air flow distributed between the
foot well vents (hotter air) and the
central and side dashboard vents

mode is particularly useful in
spring and autumn on a sunny
day.
▲
▼Air flow distributed between foot
well vents and windscreen and
front side window
defrosting/demisting vents. This
distribution mode enables proper
heating of the passenger compart-
ment, thus preventing possible
window misting. The function is enabled when the pas-
senger compartment needs to be
cooled as quickly as possible, thus us-
ing the system operating capacity at
best. This function enables air recir-
culation and engages the climate con-
trol system compressor; air distribu-
tion and fan speed are managed by
the system based on ambient condi-
tions. All manual settings will be al-
lowed when this function is on.
To switch the function off, simply turn
the temperature knob clockwise and
set the required temperature.Air distribution
buttons I-M
Pressing these but-
tons it is possible to
manually set one of
the five possible air
distribution modes to
the passenger com-
partment (right or
left side):
▲air flow to the windscreen and
front side window vents to demist
or defrost them;
˙air flow at central and side dash-
board vents to ventilate the chest
and the face during the hot season;
▼air flow to the front and rear foot
well vents. Thanks to the natural
upwards movement of heat, this
type of distribution is the quickest
for heating the passenger com-
partment offering the passenger(s)
a prompt feeling of heated air.

IMPORTANT Air recirculation ON
enables faster achievement of the de-
sired conditions (for passenger com-
partment heating or cooling). It is
however inadvisable to use it on
rainy/cold days as it would consider-
ably increase the possibility of the
windows misting inside, especially if
the climate control compressor is off.
Recirculation is forced to off (i.e. air
is introduced from the outside) when
the outside temperature is inferior to
5-7°C to prevent misting up.Climate control

the LED on it goes on.
The LED goes off when the climate
control compressor is switched off.
Press the button when the LED is off
to automatically restore system con-
trol and use of the compressor. Suc-
cessful completion of this operation is
highlighted by the button LED
switching on.
The system will switch recirculation
off when the compressor is switched
to off to prevent windows from mist-
ing up. Although the system is capa-
ble of maintaining the required tem-
perature, the word FULLwill disap-
pear from the display. If on the other
hand the system cannot maintain the
required temperature, the digits will
blink and the word AUTOwill disap-
pear.
IMPORTANT With the compressor
off, it is not possible to introduced air
cooler than ambient temperature into
the passenger compartment. Further-
more, in certain conditions, the win-
dows could mist up rapidly because
the air is not dehumidified.
It is advisable not to use
the air recirculation func-
tion when the outside temperature
is low to prevent the windows from
rapidly misting up.
