Window demisting
The climate control system is very useful in preventing the windows
from misting up in the event of high levels of humidity.
In the event of considerable outside moisture and/or rain and/or
considerable differences in temperature inside and outside the
passenger compartment, proceed as follows to demist the windows:
❒turn knob A to the red section;
❒press button F to turn internal air recirculation off (circular LED
around the button off);
❒turn knob E to
with the possibility of moving it to position
(B
fig. 37) if demisting does not occur;
❒turn knob C to the 2
ndspeed.
HEATED REAR WINDOW
DEMISTING/DEFROSTINGPress button D (
) to turn the function on/off. The function is
automatically deactivated after 20 minutes.
For versions/markets where provided, press the
button to activate
demisting/defrosting of exterior rear view mirrors and heated nozzles
(for versions/markets, where provided).
IMPORTANT Do not affix stickers to the inside of the heated rear
window over the heating filaments, to avoid damage that might cause
them to stop working properly.
INTERNAL AIR RECIRCULATIONPress button F (
) so that the LED around the button turns on. It is
advisable to switch air recirculation on while standing in traffic or in
tunnels to prevent the introduction 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.
IMPORTANT Internal air recirculation makes it possible to reach the
required heating or cooling conditions more quickly depending on the
mode selected. Do not use the air recirculation function on rainy/cold
days as it would considerably increase the possibility of the windows
misting.
SETTING THE AIR DISTRIBUTIONTurn knob E fig. 36 to manually select one of the four possible air
distribution settings in the passenger compartment:
Air flow to the windscreen and front side window diffusers to
demist/defrost them.Air flow to the front/rear footwell diffusers. This air distribution
allows the passenger compartment to be warmed up quickly.Air flow distribution between front and rear diffusers, centre/side
dashboard diffusers, rear diffuser and windscreen and front
side window demisting/defrosting diffusers.Air flow distribution to centre/side dashboard diffusers
(passenger's body).

DESCRIPTIONThe automatic dual zone climate control system regulates the air
temperatures in the passenger compartment in two areas: driver side
and passenger side.
The system maintains comfort inside the passenger compartment and
compensates for possible variations in external climate conditions.
NoteThe reference temperature is 22°C for optimal comfort
management.
The automatically controlled parameters and functions are:
❒air temperature at the driver's/front passenger side vents;
❒air distribution at the driver's/front passenger side vents;
❒fan speed (continuous variation of the air flow);
❒compressor engagement (for cooling/dehumidifying the air);
❒air recirculation.
All these functions can be adjusted manually by operating the system
and selecting one or more functions and modifying their parameters.
Automatic control of the manually changed functions will be
suspended: the system will only override the settings for safety reasons.
Manual selections always have higher priority than automatic settings
and are stored until the AUTO button is pressed, except for cases in
which the system intervenes for safety reasons.
You can adjust one function manually without affecting the automatic
control of the others. The amount of air introduced into the passenger
compartment is not affected by vehicle speed; it is electronically
controlled by a fan.
The 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 to be set or adjusted manually:
❒driver's/passenger side air temperature;
❒fan speed (continuous variation);
❒air distribution pattern with 7 positions;
❒compressor enabling;
❒rapid defrosting/demisting function;
❒air recirculation;
❒heated rear window;
❒system deactivation.
The climate control system detects the passenger
compartment temperature through a mean radiant
temperature sensor installed in a cover under the rear view
mirror; if the cone of this sensor is obstructed by any object, the system
may not work correctly.
SWITCHING ON THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEMThe climate control system can be switched on in different ways: we
recommend pressing the AUTO button and turning the knobs to set the
desired temperatures.
In this way the system operates completely automatically to adjust the
temperature, quantity and distribution of the air introduced into the
passenger compartment. It also manages the air recirculation system
and the activation of the air conditioning compressor.

❒if the outside temperature is higher than the set one, the system will
not be able to satisfy the request. The temperature values will then
flash on the display for a few seconds to indicate this;
❒the fan speed can be reset manually.
With the compressor on and the engine running, manual ventilation
cannot be lower than the minimum speed (only one LED lit).
IMPORTANT With the climate control compressor off, air cannot be
introduced to the passenger compartment with a temperature lower
than the outside temperature; moreover, under certain environmental
conditions, windows could mist rapidly since the air is not
dehumidified.RAPID WINDOW DEMISTING/
DEFROSTING (MAX-DEF function)Press the
button to activate (LED on button on) the windscreen and
side window demisting/defrosting function. The climate control system
carries out the following operations:
❒switches on the air conditioning compressor when climatic
conditions are suitable;
❒deactivates air recirculation;
❒sets maximum air temperature (HI) in both zones;
❒sets fan speed according to the engine coolant temperature;
❒directs air flow to windscreen and front side windows diffusers;
❒activates the heated rear window.
❒displays the fan speed (LED G lit).
IMPORTANT The MAX-DEF function remains on for about 3 minutes
from when the engine coolant reaches the appropriate temperature.When the function is activated, the LED on the AUTO button switches
off. With the function activated the only possible manual adjustments
are adjusting the fan speed and turning the heated rear window off.
When the B, C,
or AUTO buttons are pressed, the climate control
system will turn the MAX-DEF off.
HEATED REAR WINDOW
DEMISTING/DEFROSTINGPress the
button to activate (LED on button on) heated rear window
demisting/defrosting. This function switches off automatically after
about 20 minutes or when the engine is turned off. It is not switched on
automatically the next time the engine is started.
For versions/markets where provided, press the
button to activate
demisting/defrosting of exterior rear view mirrors and heated nozzles
(for versions/markets, where provided).
IMPORTANT Do not affix stickers to the inside of the heated rear
window over the heating filaments, to avoid damage that might cause
them to stop working properly.
Thermal comfort windscreen
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Some versions feature a thermal comfort windscreen which, with the
car exposed to the sun, reduces the temperature in the passenger
compartment relative to the outside temperature, thus ensuring greater
comfort.
Humidity sensor
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The humidity sensor helps to prevent the windows from misting up. For
full functionality, it is advisable to activate the AUTO function (LED N
on).
