CONTROLS
Buttons A - Manual air distribution selection
By pressing the buttons, one of the five possible
air flow distribution modes can be selected:
to the windscreen and front side window
diffusers to demist or defrost them.
to the central and side dashboard vents to
ventilate the chest and the face during the hot
season.towards the front seat feet area diffusers. Due
to the natural tendency of heat to rise, this
type of distribution warms the passenger
compartment up as quickly as possible,
providing an immediate feeling of warmth.

+
distribution between feet area diffusers
(warmest air) and dashboard vents
(coolest air).
+
distribution between feet area diffusers
and windscreen/front side window
diffusers. This type of distribution
achieves effective heating of the
passenger compartment and prevents
the windows from misting up.
Button B MAX
- MAX-DEF function
activation
When theMAXbutton
is pressed, the system
activates all the functions required for fast
demisting/defrosting, that is:
❒compressor on (if the weather conditions are
suitable)
❒air recirculation off
❒maximum air temperature setting (HI)
❒fan speed determined according to the coolant
temperature
❒air flow conveyed to the windscreen and front
side windows
❒Button C
- Climate control compressor
activation/deactivation
When the button is pressed, the compressor is
deactivated.
When the compressor is deactivated:
❒the system will deactivate air recirculation to
prevent the windows from misting up;❒it is not possible to convey air to the passenger
compartment with a temperature below the
outside temperature (the temperature indicated
on the display will flash when the system cannot
guarantee the required comfort conditions);
❒the fan speed can be manually reset (with
compressor enabled, ventilation cannot go
below a bar shown on the display).
Button D
- Internal air recirculation
on/off
It is advisable to switch the internal air
recirculation on whilst queuing or in tunnels to
prevent the introduction of polluted air.
At low temperatures or if the compressor is off,
the recirculation is forced to off to prevent
misting.
IMPORTANT It is inadvisable to use air
recirculation when the outside temperature is low,
since the windows could mist rapidly.
Button E (AUTO) - AUTO function activation
(automatic climate control operation)
When the AUTO button is pressed and the
required temperature is set, the system adjusts air
temperature, quantity and distribution into the
passenger compartment and manages the
activation of the compressor.
