The system uses refrig-
erant R134a as it will not
pollute the environment
if it accidentally leaks. Under no
circumstance use other fluids
which are incompatible with the
system’s component parts.
AIR FLOW
The system manual operation has 8
different air capacity levels which are
displayed with half blackening of each
main fan symbol stake.
When the automatic function has
been enabled (AUTO) the air capaci-
ty varies and can be controlled by the
system. This is indicated on the display
by 4 half blackened stakes. 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.
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.AUTOMATIC
CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM
The car is fitted with an automatic
climate control system to control tem-
perature, air capacity, distribution and
recirculation according to two defini-
tion levels:
• automatic system called multi-
zone, with split temperature (left/
right) for the first and second row;
• automatic system called three-
zonewith additional rear fans which
can be controlled by the second row
passengers to change the second and
third row vent air capacity.
IMPORTANTManual selections
prevail over automatic selections and
are stored in the memory until the
user activates the system automatic
mode (AUTO). Manual settings are
stored when the engine is turned off
and restored when the engine is start-
ed again.

SYSTEM OPERATION
fig. 88-89
The system can be activated in sev-
eral ways:
– turning the main fan slider clock-
wise (L);
– or pressing button A(+/–) or E
(+/–);
– or pressing one of buttons (H, I,
M);
In these three cases the system re-
stores all the operation functions
stored before turning it off.
– or pressing one of buttons B, D,
N; in this case the automatic mode is
selected;– or pressing button G; in this case
the MAX-DEF function is selected.
The system automatically stores the
settings prior to the system switching
off, but it also takes into consideration
the vehicle stop and other external pa-
rameters, i.e.:
– if the engine is turned off for 20
minutes with the same internal tem-
perature, the system is restored keep-
ing the same settings. If in that period
temperature changes considerably, the
system restores the temperature pri-
or to switching off;
– if the engine is turned off for more
than 20 minutes, the system is
switched on in automatic mode, even
it was off before the vehicle stop, with-
out changing the temperature value.SETTINGS fig. 88-89
The user can choose the following
options:
• wished temperature setting:
this is possible pressing button A(+/–)
or E(+/–) and checking the temper-
ature value on the display (C). It is al-
so possible to split temperature and
set different values for the driver and
the passenger; the maximum differ-
ence is 5°C.
Temperature can be increased or de-
creased by setting different steps
which can be viewed on the display:
1°C between 14°C and 18°C and be-
tween 24°C and 28°C, 0.5°C between
18°C and 24°C.

• “completely cold” setting: this
option can be selected automatically
by pressing and keeping button A(–)
or E(–) pressed until 14°C are
reached; in this case the system per-
formance is at the highest. With this
option the system works in mono
conditions and the following settings
are active:
– slider turned to “completely cold”;
– air distribution during ventilation;
– maximum air capacity value;
– compressor on;
– automatic recirculation off, even if
it is possible to activate it manually
without leaving the wished setting.• “completely hot” setting: this
option can be selected automatically
by pressing and keeping button A(+)
or E(+) pressed until 28°C are
reached; in this case the system per-
formance is at the highest. The fol-
lowing settings are active as well:
– slider turned to “completely hot”;
– air directed to windscreen/feet or
feet, according to the outside tem-
perature;
– maximum air capacity value;
– compressor controlled by the sys-
tem;
– automatic recirculation closed even
if it possible to activate manually the
open recirculation without leaving the
required setting.• fan speed setting: this is possi-
ble by turning slider L; the wished
speed value is displayed through the
front fan stake blackening C.
IMPORTANTWhen the engine is
started with the climate control sys-
tem in automatic mode (AUTO) and
the external temperature is very low,
the fan may not be activated. Do not
consider it a malfunction; the system
will restore the normal operation as
soon as the temperature threshold set
by the system is reached.
• air distribution selection: this is
possible by pressing altogether H, I,
Mon the central rotating slider L.
Air can be distributed in five
ways: ventilation (front), bilevel
(front/feet), feet, windscreen/feet,
windscreen (MAX-DEF).
