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).

There are also another 4 positions (see diagram below fig. 37):
(Position A) Air flow distribution between centre/side dashboard
vents, rear diffuser and windscreen and front side window
demisting/defrosting diffusers. This distribution setting ventilates
the passenger compartment well and prevents the windows
from misting up.(Position B) Air flow distributed between footwell diffusers and
windscreen and front side window defrosting/demisting diffusers.
This distribution setting allows the passenger compartment to
warm up efficiently and prevents the windows from misting up.(Position C) Air flow distribution between footwell diffusers (hotter
air) and centre/side dashboard diffusers and rear diffuser
(cooler air).(Position D) Automatic demisting/defrosting activation (see
description in previous pages).
START&STOPManual climate control
If the Start&Stop function is activated (engine off when the car speed is
zero), the system keeps the air flow selected by the user.
In these conditions, the compartment cooling and heating cannot be
guaranteed, as the compressor stops with the engine coolant pump.
The Start&Stop function can be deactivated to enhance the operation
of the climate control system by pressing the dedicated button on
the dashboard.
NoteIn winter, the climate control system must be turned on at least
once a month for about 10 minutes. Have the system checked by
Alfa Romeo Authorized Services before summer.SERVICING MAINTENANCEIn winter, the climate control system must be turned on at least once a
