recirculation on (circular LED around
the button on);
❒turn knob E to
;
❒press button B to turn the climate
control system on and turn knob C to
at least 1 (1st speed); for faster

fan speed).
Adjusting cooling
Proceed as follows:
❒turn knob A to the right to increase
the temperature;
❒press button F to turn internal air
recirculation off (circular LED around
the button off);
❒turn knob C to reduce the fan speed.

❒turn knob A to the red section;
❒press button F to turn on the internal
air recirculation system;❒turn knob E to
;
❒turn knob C to 6 (maximum fan
speed).
Then use the controls to maintain the
desired comfort conditions and press
button F to turn internal air recirculation
off (circular LED around the button off)
and prevent misting.
IMPORTANT When the engine is cold, it
takes a few minutes to obtain fast
heating.
AUTOMATIC
DEMISTING/DEFROSTING
(MAX-DEF function)
This function activates automatic
demisting/defrosting of: front windows
(windscreen and side windows), heated
nozzles, heated exterior rear view
mirrors.
To activate the function, turn knob E to
the “Defrosting” symbol identified by
the
symbol.The manual climate control system will
automatically set itself to the following
configuration:
❒the demisting symbol
will turn
from red to orange (to indicate that
the function has been activated);
❒the heated rear window (and all
defrosting devices in the car) will be
turned on. The circular LED around
the
button will light up to indicate
that the function has been activated;
❒the air flow will go to maximum
speed (6th);
❒air circulation will be opened, if it was
closed (the circular LED around the
corresponding button will be off);
❒air mixing will go to “maximum heat”;
❒the additional electric heater (for
versions/markets, where provided)
will be turned on;
❒the compressor will be activated (the
circular LED will switch on to indicate
that the AC function is on).

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) if
demisting does not occur;
❒turn knob C to the 2nd speed.
HEATED REAR WINDOW
DEMISTING/DEFROSTING
Press button D (
) to activate/
deactivate the function. 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
RECIRCULATION
Press button F (
) so that the LED
around the button turns on. It is
advisable to switch internal 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
DISTRIBUTION
Turn knob E 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).

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

There are also another 4 positions (see
diagram below fig. 29):
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&STOP
Manual climate control
If the Start&Stop function is activated
(engine off when the car speed is
0 km/h), 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.SERVICING
MAINTENANCE
In winter, the climate control system
must be turned on at least once a
month for about 10 minutes.
Have the system inspected at an Alfa
Romeo Dealership before the summer.

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.
