132Air conditioning
Automatic mode
In automatic mode air temperature, air flow and distribution
are automatically regulated so that a specified temperature
is attained as quickly as possible, and then maintained.
Switching on automatic mode
– Press the button AUTO
. The indication
⇒ fig. 95 7 is visible.
– Press keys 10
and 11 ⇒ fig. 95 to adjust the desired tempera-
ture inside the vehicle. We recommend 22 °C (72 °F).
A comfortable interior climate is quickly reached when a temperature of
+22 °C (72 °F) is set in automatic mode. Therefore, we recommend you not
to change this adjustment, except as necessary to suit individual preferen-
ces or particular circumstances. It is possible to select interior temperatures
from +18 °C (64 °F) to +29 °C (86 °F). If a lower or higher temperature is se-
lected, LO or HI are respectively displayed on the screen. These are approxi-
mate temperatures which may slightly vary depending on the outside condi-
tions.
Climatronic maintains a constant temperature. To do it, it automatically reg-
ulates the supplied air temperature, the blower speed and the air distribu-
tion. The system also considers the sunlight radiation, so there is no need
for manual readjustment. Therefore, automatic mode almost always pro-
vides the best comfort for the vehicle occupants throughout the year.
Automatic mode is switched off whenever an adjustment is made using the
buttons for the air distribution, blower or AC
. The temperature continues to
self-regulate. Manual mode
In manual mode the air temperature, flow, and the desired
air distribution can be adjusted.
Switching on manual mode
– Press one of the buttons ⇒ fig. 95 14
to 16 or press the blower
control 8 and 9 down. The indicator is switched off 3.
Temperature
It is possible to select interior temperatures from +18 °C (64 °F) to +29 °C
(86 °F). These are approximate temperatures which may slightly vary de-
pending on the outside conditions.
If a temperature below 18 °C (64 °F) is selected, the screen will show LO. In
this setting the system runs at maximum cooling output and the tempera-
ture is not regulated.
If a temperature above 29 °C (86 °F) is selected, the screen will show HI. In
this setting the system runs at maximum heating output and the tempera-
ture is not controlled.
Blower
The blower can be adjusted with buttons 8
and 9 ⇒ fig. 95. If the blower
is off (level 1 is not shown on the screen) and button 9 is kept pressed
down, the Climatronic switches off. Then OFF is displayed on the screen.
Air distribution
The air distribution is adjusted using the buttons
, and . It is also
possible to open and close some of the air outlets separately.
Switching the air conditioning on and off
Pressing the button AC
the air cooling system can be switched off in order
to save fuel. The temperature continues to self-regulate. The set tempera-
ture can then only be reached if it is higher than the outside temperature.
