DESCRIPTION
The 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 temperature of the air sent 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).
2)
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.
CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM OPERATING
MODES
The climate control system can be
activated in different ways: it is
advisable to press the AUTO button
and turn 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.
29

During automatic operation, you can
change the set temperatures, air
distribution and fan speed at any time
by using the relevant buttons or knobs:
the system will automatically change
the settings to adjust to the new
requirements.
During fully automatic operation
(AUTO), the word AUTO will disappear
if the air distribution and/or flow rate
and/or engagement of the compressor
and/or recirculation settings are
changed.
During fully automatic operation (FULL
AUTO), the word FULL will disappear
if the air distribution and/or flow rate
and/or activation of the compressor
and/or recirculation settings are
changed.
In this way the climate control system
will continue to automatically manage
all functions except for those that have
been manually adjusted. The fan speed
is the same in all the zones of the
passenger compartment.ADJUSTING THE AIR
TEMPERATURE
Turn knob A or L to the right or left to
adjust the air temperature: knob A
for the front left area, knob L for the
front right area of the passenger
compartment. The set temperatures are
shown on the displays.
Press the MONO button to align the air
temperature between the two areas.
Turn knob L to return to the separate
management of air temperatures in the
two areas.
Turn the knobs fully right or left to
engage HI (maximum heating) or LO
(maximum cooling) respectively. To
deactivate these functions, turn the
temperature knob to the desired
temperature.
SETTING THE AIR
DISTRIBUTION
By pressing the buttons (
/
/
), it
is possible to set one of the 7 possible
air distributions manually:
Air flow to the windscreen and
front side window diffusers to
demist/defrost them.Air flow at central and side
dashboard vents to ventilate the
chest and the face during the hot
season.
Air flow to the front and rear
footwell diffusers. This air
distribution setting heats the
passenger compartment most
quickly, giving a prompt sensation
of warmth.
Air flow distributed between
footwell vents (hotter air) and
central and side dashboard
vents (cooler air). This
distribution setting is useful in
spring and autumn on sunny
days.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.Air flow distribution between
windscreen demisting/
defrosting diffusers and side
and central dashboard vents.
This allows air to be sent to
the windscreen in conditions of
strong sunlight.
Air flow distribution to all
vents on the car.
