The intake air temperature is always automatically
controlled according to the temperature set on the display
(except for when the system is off or in certain conditions
when the compressor is not running).
The system allows the following parameters and
functions to be set or altered manually: air temperature,
fan speed (continuous variation); air distribution in
seven positions; compressor enablement, fast
defrosting/demisting function; air recirculation; switching
off of the system;

SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
GENERAL INFORMATION
The automatic climate control system adjusts the
temperature, the quantity and the distribution of the air
in the passenger compartment.
The temperature control is based on the “equivalent
temperature”: in other words, the system continuously
works to keep the comfort level inside the vehicle
constant and to compensate for possible variations in
outside conditions, including the sun’s rays detected by
a dedicated sensor. The automatically controlled
parameters and functions are:
❒air temperature at the vents;
❒air distribution at the vents;
❒fan speed (continuous air flow variation);
❒compressor activation (to cool/dehumidify the air);
❒air recirculation.
All functions may be changed manually. In other words,
you may select one or more functions and change the
parameters as required. Automatic control of the
manually changed functions will be suspended: the
system will override your settings only for safety-related
reasons (e.g. risk of misting up). Manual selections will
always take priority over automatic settings and will be
stored until the user switches the system back to
automatic operation by pressing the AUTO button again
expect for the cases in which the system will intervene
for particular, safety-related reasons. You can adjust one
function manually without affecting the automatic
control of the others.
