ADJUSTING THE AIR TEMPERATURE
Turn the A or L knob clockwise or anticlockwise to
adjust the air temperature in the front left (knob
A) or right (knob L) zone of the passenger
compartment.
The set temperatures are shown on the displays.
Press the MONO button to align the air
temperature between the two zones.
Turn the L knob to return to the separate
management of air temperatures in the two zones.
Turning the knobs completely in one direction or the
other activates the "HI" (maximum heating) or
"LO" (maximum cooling) functions respectively.
To deactivate these functions, turn the temperature
knob to the desired temperature.
AIR DISTRIBUTION SELECTION
By pressing buttons H (
/
/
), 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
diffusers (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 be warmed effectively and
prevents the windows from misting.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 diffusers on
the car.
NoteAir always flows from the side dashboard
diffusers: it is, however, possible to interrupt the air
flow by operating the wheel located near the
corresponding vents.
In AUTO mode, the climate control system
automatically manages air distribution (the LEDs on
buttons H are off ).
When set manually, the air distribution is indicated
by the LEDs on the selected buttons switching on.

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 deactivate the MAX-DEF
function.
Selecting the footwell/windscreen or only windscreen
distribution activates the climate control system
compressor (LED on A/C button on) and the air
recirculation is set to "outside air" intake (LED on

This logic guarantees optimum visibility at the
windows. It is, however, always possible to manage
air recirculation and the climate control system
compressor manually.
