Buttons A - Manual air distribution selection
By pressing the buttons, one of the five possible
air flow distribution modes can be selected:
air flow to the windscreen and front side window
diffusers to demist or defrost them.air flow to central and side dashboard vents to
ventilate the chest and the face during the hot
season.towards the footwell diffusers. Due to the
natural tendency of heat to rise, this type of
distribution warms the passenger compartment
up as quickly as possible, providing an immediate
feeling of warmth.+
distribution between footwell diffusers
(warmest air) and dashboard vents (coolest
air).
+
distribution between footwell diffusers and
windscreen/front side window vents. This
type of distribution achieves effective
heating of the passenger compartment and
prevents the windows from misting up.
Button B
- MAX-DEF function activation
When thebutton is pressed the system activates
all the functions required for fast demisting/
defrosting:
❒compressor on (if the weather conditions are
suitable);
❒air recirculation off;
❒maximum air temperature setting (HI);❒fan speed determined according to the coolant
temperature;
❒air flow conveyed to thewindscreen and front side
windows;
Button C
- Climate control compressor
activation/deactivation
Pressing button C activates/deactivates climate
control:
❒LED on button on: compressor on;
❒LED on button off: compressor off.
When the compressor is off:
❒the system will deactivate air recirculation to
prevent the windows from misting up;
❒it is not possible to convey air to thepassenger
compartment with a temperature below the
outside temperature (the displayed temperature
value will flash when the system cannot guarantee
the requested comfort conditions);
❒the fan speed can be reset manually (with
compressor enabled, ventilation cannot go below a
bar shown on the display).
Button D
- Internal air recirculation
activation/deactivation
It is advisable to switch the internal air recirculation
on whilst queuing or in tunnels to prevent the
introduction of polluted air.
At low temperatures or if the compressor is off, the
recirculation is forced to off to prevent misting.

Manual selections always have higher priority over
automatic settings and are stored until the user
switches the system back to automatic control
except for cases in which the system intervenes for
particular safety-related 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 car speed; it is
regulated by the fan, which is controlled
electronically.
The temperature of the air supplied is always
controlled automatically, depending on the
temperature set in the driver’s display (except when
the system is off or in certain conditions when the
compressor is switched off ).
The system allows the following to be set or adjusted
manually:
❒air temperature;
❒fan speed (continuous variation);
❒air distribution with 5 positions;
❒compressor enablement;
❒rapid defrosting/demisting function;
❒air recirculation;
❒heated rear window, folding mirror/heated
windscreen (for versions/markets, where available);
❒system deactivation.SWITCHING ON THE CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM
The system can be switched on in various ways; it is
however advisable to press the AUTO button and
set the desired temperature on the display.
The climate control system allows you to customise
the requested temperatures.
The climate control system compressor works only
with the engine running and with an outside
temperature of above 0°C.
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
OPERATION
Press the AUTO button; the system will
automatically adjust:
❒the amount of air introduced into the passenger
compartment;
❒the distribution of the air in the passenger
compartment;
cancelling all previous manual adjustments.
The LED on the AUTO button switches on during
automatic climate control operation.
During automatic operation it is still possible to
adjust the temperatures set and carry out one of the
following operations manually:
❒fan speed adjustment;
❒air distribution selection;
❒internal air recirculation activation/deactivation;
❒climate control compressor activation.

distribution allows the passenger compartment
to be warmed up quickly.Air flow distribution to centre/side dashboard
diffusers (passenger's body).
+
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 footwell
diffusers (hotter air) and centre/side
dashboard diffusers (cooler air).
IMPORTANT For the climate control system to
function, at least one of the buttons A must be
operated fig. 30. The system does not allow the
