INTERNAL AIR RECIRCULATION
ACTIVATION
Press button D: when the function is on, the button LED
lights up.
It is advisable to switch the internal air recirculation on
while standing in queues or in tunnels to prevent the in-
troduction of polluted air.
Do not use the function for a long time, particularly if there
are several passengers on board, to prevent the windows
from steaming up.
WARNING The air recirculation system makes it possi-
ble to reach the required heating or cooling conditions
faster. Do not use the air recirculation function on
rainy/cold days as it would considerably increase the pos-
sibility of the windows misting up.

WARNING Do not apply stickers to the inside of the heat-
ed rear windscreen over the heating filaments to avoid

In the event of considerable external moisture and/or rain
and/or large differences in temperature inside and outside
the passenger compartment, perform the following pre-
ventive window demisting procedure:
❒turn off internal air recirculation (button D LED off);
❒turn knob A to -;
❒turn knob B to 2;
❒turn knob C to -with the option of moving to posi-
tion
®if there is no sign of the windows steaming up.
REGULATING THE FAN SPEED
To ventilate the passenger compartment properly, pro-
ceed as follows:
❒fully open the central and side air diffusers;
❒turn knob A to the blue section;
❒turn knob B to the required speed;
❒turn knob C to ¶;
❒turn off internal air recirculation (button D LED off).

Air distribution buttons (B)
By pressing these buttons, it is possible to set one of the
seven possible air distributions manually:
▲Air flow to the windscreen and front side window dif-
fusers to demist or defrost them.
˙Air flow to the centre and side dashboard diffusers to
ventilate the chest and the face during the hot
season.
▼Air flow to the front and rear footwell diffusers.
Thanks to the natural tendency of hot air to rise up-
wards, this distribution pattern allows the passenger
compartment to warm up as quickly as possible, pro-
viding an immediate feeling of warmth.
˙
▼Air flow distribution split between footwell diffusers
(hotter air) and central and side dashboard vents
(cooler air). This distribution mode is particularly use-
ful in spring and autumn on sunny days.
▲
▼Air flow distribution split between the footwell dif-
fusers and the windscreen and front side windows de-
frosting/demisting diffusers. This allows an adequate
warming of the passenger compartment and prevents
the windows from steaming up. This function may be used to heat up the passenger com-
partment exploiting the system potential to the maximum.
In this condition, the system stops controlling the tem-
perature automatically and sets the air mixing to maximum
heating. The air speed and distribution are fixed.
In particular, if the heating fluid is not sufficiently hot, the
maximum fan speed does not come on straight away in or-
der to limit the intake of insufficiently hot air into the pas-
senger compartment.
All manual settings will be allowed when this function
is on.
To switch the function off, simply turn the temperature
knob anticlockwise and set the required temperature.
❒LO function (maximum cooling):
select by turning the temperature knob anticlockwise un-
der the minimum value (16 °C).
This function may be used to cool down the passenger
compartment exploiting the system potential to the max-
imum. In this condition, the system stops controlling the
temperature automatically and sets the air mixing to max-
imum cooling. The air speed and distribution are fixed. All
manual settings will be allowed when this function is on.
To switch the function off, simply turn the temperature
knob clockwise and set the required temperature.

WARNING To restore automatic fan speed control af-
ter a manual adjustment, press the AUTO button.
WARNING At high vehicle speeds, the dynamic effect may
increase the air flow rate into the passenger compartment,
which in this case will not directly correspond to the fan
speed bar display.
AUTO button (A)
(automatic operation)
Press AUTO to make the system automatically adjust the
quantity and distribution of the air introduced into the pas-
senger compartment. All previous manual settings will be
cancelled.
The message FULL AUTO appears on the front display.
By manually adjusting at least one of the functions auto-
matically managed by the system (air recirculation, air dis-
tribution, fan speed or air conditioning compressor on/off),
the word FULL will disappear from the display, indicating
that the system is no longer automatically controlling all
the functions (the temperature will still be controlled au-
tomatically by the system).▲
˙Air flow distribution split between the windscreen
and front side windows defrosting/demisting diffusers
and the central and side dashboard vents. This dis-
tribution makes it possible to maintain good levels
of comfort and keep the passenger compartment suf-
ficiently cool (summer).
