▼Air flow between foot well vents

distribution 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 allows an adequate
warming of the passenger com-
partment and prevents the win-
dows from misting up. This function may be used to cool
down the passenger compartment as
fast as possible and exploit the system
potential to the maximum. The func-
tion activates air recirculation and the
climate control compressor, air distri-
bution and fan speed are managed by
the system according to environmen-
tal conditions. All manual settings will
be allowed when this function is on.
To switch the function off, simply turn
the temperature knob anticlockwise

Press these buttons
to manually set one
of the five possible
air distribution pat-
terns on the left and
on the right side of
the passenger com-
partment:
▲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
tendency of hot air to spread up-
wards, this distribution pattern al-
lows to warm the passenger com-
partment up as quickly as possi-
ble, providing an immediate feel-
ing of warmth.

the following operat-
ing logics:
❒forced switching on (inside air re-
circulation always on), indicated by
the turning off of the button led C
and symbol
íon the display;
❒function off (air recirculation al-
ways off and introduction of ex-
ternal air), indicated by the fact
that the LED on the button will go
off and symbol
êwill appear on
the display.
These operating conditions are ob-
tained by pressing Cin sequence.
For safety reasons, the system will au-
tomatically turn the recycle function
off to allow the introduction of fresh
air after a certain time. MONO A button

Press MONOto automatically align
air temperature and distribution set-
tings in the front passenger area to
those of in the driver’s area and to
therefore set both zones by turning
the knob on driver’s side only. This
function is used to adjust the temper-
ature in the entire passenger com-
partment in presence of the driver
only. To go back to separate air and
temperature distribution in the two
zones of the passenger compartment,
simply turn the knobs Hor press
A-MONOwhen the LED on the but-
ton is on. IMPORTANT Should the system (af-
ter manual settings) be no longer able
to guarantee the required temperature
set in the passenger compartment, the
set temperature value will start flash-
ing to indicate this condition, after
one minute the AUTOmessage will go
out.
To restore system automatic control at
any time, after one or more manual
adjustments, press button AUTO.

IMPORTANT The air recirculation
function makes it possible to reach the
required heating or cooling conditions
faster. It is however inadvisable to use
it on rainy/cold days as it would con-
siderably increase the possibility of
the windows misting inside, especially
if the climate control compressor is
off.
Recirculation is forced off (i.e. air is
introduced from the outside) when
the the outside temperature is colder
than 5-7°C to prevent misting up.Climate control

Press button
√when
the LED on the but-
ton is on, to turn the climate control
compressor off. The LED will go out.
Press the button when the LED is off
to restore automatically system con-
trol and use of the compressor. The
LED will light up on the button in
this case.
The system will switch recirculation
off when the compressor is switched
off to prevent misting up. Although
the system is capable of maintaining
the required temperature, the word
FULLwill disappear from the display.
If on the other hand the system can-
not maintain the required tempera-
ture, the digits will blink and the word
AUTOwill disappear.
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.

❒the heated rear window on The switching off of the climate con-
trol compressor remains in storage
even when the engine has been
stopped.
To restore automatic compressor con-
trol, press
√again (in this case, the
system will only work as a heater) or
press AUTO.
When the compressor is off, if the ex-
ternal temperature is hotter than the
set temperature and the system can-
not satisfy the request, the digits of
the set temperature will blink for a
few seconds and the message AUTO
will go out.
With climate control compressor off,
the fan speed can be set to zero man-
ually (no bar shown).
With the compressor on and the en-
gine started, the fan speed may be re-
duced to the minimum setting (only
one bar shown).
