INTERNAL AIR RECIRCULATION
ACTIVATION
Press button E: when the function is on, the button LED
lights up.
It is advisable to switch the internal air recirculation on
while standing in queues or in tunnels to prevent the in-
troduction of polluted air. Do not use the function for a
long time, particularly if there are many passengers on
board, to prevent the windows from misting up.
WARNING The air recirculation system makes it possi-
ble to reach the required heating or cooling conditions
faster. It is not advisable to switch the air recirculation
on when it is rainy/cold or the windows might steam up,
especially if the climate control system is not turned on.
CLIMATE CONTROL (cooling)
Proceed as follows:
❒turn knob A to the blue section;
❒turn knob B to the required speed;
❒turn knob C to ¶;
❒press buttons ❄and E (button LEDs on).

Air distribution buttons (B)
By pressing these buttons, it is possible to set one of the
5 possible air distributions manually:
▲Air flow to the windscreen and front side window dif-
fusers to demist or defrost them.
˙Air flow to the centre and side dashboard diffusers to
ventilate the chest and the face during the hot
season.
▼Air flow to the front and rear footwell diffusers.
Thanks to the natural tendency of hot air to rise up-
wards, this distribution pattern allows the passenger
compartment to warm up as quickly as possible, pro-
viding an immediate feeling of warmth.
˙
▼Air flow distribution split between footwell diffusers
(hotter air) and central and side dashboard vents
(cooler air). This distribution mode is particularly use-
ful in spring and autumn on sunny days.
▲ ▼Air flow distribution split between the footwell dif-
fusers and the windscreen and front side windows de-
frosting/demisting diffusers. This allows an adequate
warming of the passenger compartment and prevents
the windows from steaming up.
The distribution set is shown by the corresponding LEDs
in the selected buttons coming on.
To restore automatic control of the air distribution after
a manual selection, press the AUTO button.
This function may be used to heat up the passenger com-
partment exploiting the system potential to the maximum.
In this condition, the system stops controlling the tem-
perature automatically and sets the air mixing to maximum
heating. The air speed and distribution are fixed.
In particular, if the heating fluid is not sufficiently hot, the
maximum fan speed does not come on straight away in or-
der to limit the intake of insufficiently hot air into the pas-
senger compartment.
All manual settings will be allowed when this function
is on.
To switch the function off, simply turn the temperature
knob anticlockwise and set the required temperature.
❒LO function (maximum cooling):
select by turning the temperature knob anticlockwise un-
der the minimum value (16 °C).
This function may be used to cool down the passenger
compartment exploiting the system potential to the max-
imum. In this condition, the system stops controlling the
temperature automatically and sets the air mixing to max-
imum cooling. The air speed and distribution are fixed. All
manual settings will be allowed when this function is on.
To switch the function off, simply turn the temperature
knob clockwise and set the required temperature.

AUTO button (A)
(automatic operation)
Press AUTO to make the system automatically adjust the
quantity and distribution of the air introduced into the pas-
senger compartment. All previous manual settings will be
cancelled.
The message FULL AUTO appears on the front display.
By manually adjusting at least one of the functions auto-
matically managed by the system (air recirculation, air dis-
tribution, fan speed or air conditioning compressor on/off),
the word FULL will disappear from the display, indicating
that the system is no longer automatically controlling all
the functions (the temperature will still be controlled au-
tomatically by the system).
WARNING Should the system (after manual intervention)
no longer be able to guarantee the target temperature for
the passenger compartment, the set temperature value will
start flashing to indicate the difficulties the system is ex-
periencing and then the word AUTO will go out.
To restore system automatic control at any time, after one
or more manual adjustments, press the AUTO
button.
Fan speed adjustment buttons (H)
Press the outsides of button
Hto increase or decrease the
fan speed and therefore the amount of air admitted into
the passenger compartment, although maintaining the tar-
get temperature.
The fan speed is shown by the bars lit up on the display:
❒Max. fan speed = all bars lit
❒Min. fan speed = one bar lit.
The fan can only be disabled if the climate control com-
pressor has been switched off by pressing button
F-fig. 42.
WARNING To restore automatic fan speed control af-
ter a manual adjustment, press the AUTO button.
WARNING At high vehicle speeds, the dynamic effect may
increase the air flow rate into the passenger compartment,
which in this case will not directly correspond to the fan
speed bar display.

Climate control compressor on/off button (F)
Press button √to switch the climate control compres-
sor off (if it is already on). The icon on the display will
go out.
Press the button when the LED is off to automatically
restore system control and use of the compressor. The
icon will light up in the display in this case.
The system will switch the recirculation off when the cli-
mate control compressor is switched off to prevent the
windows misting up. Although the system is capable of
maintaining the required temperature, the word FULL will
disappear from the display. If the system is no longer able
to maintain the temperature, the figures will flash and the
word AUTO will go out.
Air recirculation on/off button (G)
The air recirculation works according to the following op-
erating logic:
❒override on (air recirculation always on), indicated by
the LED on the button
Gcoming on and the symbol
í on the display;
❒override off (air recirculation always off and intro-
duction of outside air), indicated by the fact that the
LED in the button goes off and symbol ê will ap-
pear on the display.
These operating conditions are obtained by pressing air
recirculation button G in sequence.
WARNING The engagement of the air recirculation sys-
tem makes it possible to reach the required heating or
cooling conditions faster.
It is however not advised to use it on rainy/cold days as
it would considerably increase the possibility of the win-
dows steaming up, especially if the climate control com-
pressor is off.
The recirculation is forced off (i.e. air is introduced from
the outside) when the the outside temperature is cold to
prevent misting up.
It is advisable not to use the air recirculation function when
the outside temperature is low, because the windows
could rapidly steam up.

temperature to limit the flow of air that is insufficiently
warm to demist the windows;
❒the air flow is directed to the windscreen and front
door window glasses diffusers;
❒switches on the heated rear windscreen
WARNING The rapid demisting/defrosting function for
the windows remains on for about 3 minutes from when
the engine coolant reaches the appropriate temperature
for a rapid demisting of the windows.
When this function is active, the LED in the correspond-
ing button and the one for the heated rear windscreen but-
ton switch on. The message FULL AUTO goes off on the
display.
You can only adjust the fan speed and switch the heated
rear windscreen off manually when this function is active.
To restore the previous operating conditions, simply press
button B, air recirculation button G, compressor button
F or AUTO button A.
IMPORTANT With the compressor off, it is not possible
to introduce air into the passenger compartment at a tem-
perature lower than that of the outside air. In certain
weather conditions, the windows could mist up rapidly due
to the non-dehumidified air.
The switching off of the compressor remains memorised
even when the engine has been stopped.
To restore automatic compressor engagement control,
press the √
button again (in this case, the system will work
only as a heater) or press the AUTO button.
With the compressor switched off, if the outside tem-
perature is higher than the one set, the system is not ca-
pable of satisfying this request and signals it by the digits
for the temperature setting flashing after which the word
AUTO goes out.
With the climate control compressor off, the fan speed
can be set to zero manually (no bar shown).
With the compressor enabled and the engine started, the
fan speed may only be reduced to the minimum setting
(one bar shown).
Button for rapid window demisting/defrosting (D)
Press this button and the climate control system will au-
tomatically switch on all the functions required for fast
windscreen and side window demisting/defrosting:
