IMPORTANT The climate control system is very useful
for preventing the windows misting up in presence of
high humidity since it dehumidifies the air introduced
into the passenger compartment. IMPORTANT to ensure fast demisting/defrosting, if an
additional heater/air conditioner is present (under the
front or rear seat on Panorama and Combi versions),
if it is activated, turn it off using the button F (LED off)

IMPORTANT The climate control system is very useful
for speeding up the demisting because it dehumidifies the
air. Adjust the controls as described above and press the
button E to switch the climate control system on; the
LED in the button will light up.

that might cause it to stop working properly.
The system uses R134a refrigerant fluid
which does not pollute the environment
in the event of accidental leakage. Under
no circumstances should R12 fluid be used as it is
incompatible with the system components.
