AIR DISTRIBUTION
The ring D-fig. 60is used to make fresh
air reach the entire passenger compart-
ment. There are five selections:
«air from central vents and side vents
2 and 4 fig. 57;
∆air from central side vents 2 and 4 and
downward vents 5 and 6 fig. 57 (bi-
level function);
≈air downwards (5) and (6) fig. 57;
ƒair downwards (5) and (6); and to-
wards the windscreen (3) at the same
time fig. 57;
-for demisting and defrosting the wind-
screen (3) and the front side windows
(1) fig. 57.SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
Proceed as follows:
Turn the ring B-fig. 60(indicator point-
ing to the red sector) rightwards to turn
the temperature up or leftwards to turn
it down;
ADJUSTING THE FAN SPEED
To ventilate the passenger compartment
properly proceed as follows:
❒fully open the central (4) and side (2)
air vents fig. 57;
❒turn the ring B-fig. 60to the blue
sector;
❒turn knob Ato the required speed;
❒turn the ring Dto «;
❒stop internal air recirculation by turn-
ing knob E to Ú.ACTIVATING THE INTERNAL
AIR RECIRCULATION
Turn knob Eto
….
It is advisable to switch internal air recir-
culation on while standing in queues or in
tunnels to prevent the introduction of pol-
luted air. Do not use the function for a
long time, particularly if there are many
occupants on board, to prevent the win-
dows from misting up.
IMPORTANT The air recirculation system
makes it possible 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 possibility of the windows
misting inside.

AUTOMATIC TWO-
ZONE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
(where provided)
GENERAL INFORMATION
The two-zone automatic climate control
system distributes air in the passenger
compartment in two zones: driver’s and
passenger’s side. Temperature is con-
trolled on the basis of an “equivalent tem-
perature” principle; in other words, the
system continuously works to keep the
comfort level inside the car constant and
to compensate for possible variations of
external conditions, including sun radia-
tion detected by a specific sensor.
The automatically controlled parameters
and functions are:
❒air temperature at the vents on dri-
ver/front passenger side;
❒air at vents on driver/front passenger
side;
❒fan speed (continuous air flow varia-
tion);
❒compressor activation (to cool/dehu-
midify air);
❒air recirculation.All functions may be manually changed. In
order words, you may select one or more
functions and change the parameters as
required. Automatic control of the man-
ually changed functions will be suspended:
the system will change override your set-
tings only for safety-related reasons (e.g.
risk of misting up).
Manual selections will always have higher
priority over automatic settings and will
be stored until the user switches the sys-
tem back to automatic mode, except for
the cases in which the system will inter-
vene for particular, safety-related reasons.
You can adjust one function automatical-
ly and have the automatic system control
all the others.
The amount of air introduced into the pas-
senger compartment is independent from
speed of the car because the fan is con-
trolled by the electronic system.
The temperature of the air taken in is al-
ways controlled automatically depending
on the temperature set on the display (ex-
cept when the system is turned off or un-
der certain conditions when the com-
pressor is off. The following parameters and functions
can be manually set:
❒air temperature on driver/front pas-
senger side;
❒fan speed (continuous variation);
❒air distribution to five positions (dri-
ver/front passenger side);
❒compressor enablement;
❒one-zone/two-zone distribution pri-
ority;
❒fast demist/defrost function;
❒air recirculation;
❒heated rear window;
❒system off.
