AIR DISTRIBUTION
Using knob D-fig. 63it is possible to
choose manually 5 of the possible air dis-
tributions to the passenger compartment:
«air flow from centre and side vents (2)
and (4) fig. 60;
Δair flow from centre and side vents (2)
and (4) and downwards (5) and (6) fig.
60(bilevel function);
≈air flow downwards (5) and (6) fig. 60;
ƒair flow downwards (5) and (6) fig. 60
and also to the windscreen (3);
-to demist and defrost windscreen (3)
and front side windows (1) fig. 60.TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
Proceed as follows:
Turn knob B-fig. 63clockwise (pointer
to red sector) to increase temperature or
turn it counter-clockwise to decrease
temperature;
FAN SPEED ADJUSTMENT
Proceed as follows:
❒open completely central (4) and side
(2) fig. 60vents;
❒turn knob B-fig. 63to the blue sec-
tor;
❒set Ato the required speed;
❒set knob Dto «;
❒set knob Eto Úto turn air recir-
culation offRECIRCULATION
Set knob Eto ….
This function is particularly useful when
the outside air is heavily polluted (in a traf-
fic jam, tunnel, etc.). However, it is bet-
ter not to use it for long periods, espe-
cially if there are several people in the car
to prevent window steaming up.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the re-
quired “heating” or “cooling” conditions
faster. Do not use the air recirculation
function on rainy/cold days as it would
considerably increase the possibility of the
windows misting inside.

AUTOMATIC
TWO-ZONE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
(where provided)
GENERAL
The car is fitted with a two-zone climate
control system which makes it possible to
separately adjust the air temperature on
the driver’s side and on the passenger’s
side. Temperature control is based on the
“equivalent temperature” logic, i.e.: the
system continuously works to keep con-
stant the comfort inside the passenger
compartment and to compensate any vari-
ation of the outside climate conditions, in-
cluding sunshine detected by a proper sen-
sor provided for the purpose.
The climate control system automatically
controls and adjusts the following para-
meters and functions:
❒air temperature at driver/front pas-
senger vents;
❒air distribution at driver/front passen-
ger vents;
❒fan speed (continuous air flow varia-
tion);
❒compressor switching on (to cool/de-
humidify air);
❒air recirculation.
All the above functions can be changed
manually at any time, i.e.: you can always
modify one or more function settings. In
this event, the system will no longer im-
plement the automatic control of the func-
tions changed manually (except for safety
reasons, e.g.: risk of window misting).
Manual selections prevail over automatic
ones and remain in storage until the user
decides to resume automatic control, ex-
cept when the system cuts in for particu-
lar safety conditions.
The control of functions not changed man-
ually remains automatic.
The amount of air admitted to the pas-
senger compartment does not depend on
the car speed, since it is electronically con-
trolled by the fan.
In any case, the temperature of the air ad-
mitted to the passenger compartment is
controlled automatically (except when the
system is off) according to the tempera-
tures set on the driver’s and front pas-
senger’s displays or under certain climat-
ic conditions if the compressor is off).The system enables to set or to change
the following parameters and functions
manually:❒air temperatures on driver/front pas-
senger side;
❒fan speed (continuous variation);
❒air distribution on five levels (driver/
front passenger side);
❒climate control compressor on/off en-
able;
❒monozone/two-zone distribution pri-
ority;
❒fast demisting/defrosting;
❒air recirculation;
❒rear heated window;
❒system off;
