INTERNAL AIR
RECIRCULATION
ACTIVATION
Press button E: when the function is
on, the button LED lights up.
It is advisable to switch the internal
air recirculation on while standing
in queues 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 The air recirculation
system makes it possible to reach
the required heating or cooling
conditions faster, depending on the
selected mode. It is not advisable
to switch the internal air recirculation
on when it is rainy/cold or the
windows might steam up, especially
if the climate control system is not
turned on.

quickly when it is very cold and the
engine coolant temperature is low.
The additional heater comes on
automatically when the engine
is started, if knob A is turned to the
last red sector and the fan (knob
B) is at least at the first speed level.
The additional heater turns off
automatically after reaching the
required comfort conditions.
IMPORTANT The heater will not turn
on if the battery voltage is too low.SYSTEM SERVICING

❒air recirculation, to keep the
function always either on or off;
❒
to speed up demisting/defrosting
of windscreen, rear window and
external rear view mirrors.
During fully automatic system
operation, you can change the set
temperature, air distribution and fan
speed at any time by using the
relevant buttons or knobs: the
system will automatically change its
settings to adjust to the new
requirements.During fully automatic operation
(FULL AUTO), the word FULL will
disappear if the air distribution
and/or flow rate and/or engagement
of the compressor and/or
recirculation settings are changed. In
this way, the functions will switch
from automatic to manual control
until the AUTO button is pressed
again. With one or more functions
turned on manually, the adjustment
of the intake air temperature
continues to be managed
automatically, except with the
compressor switched off: if this is
the case, the temperature of the air
sent into the passenger
compartment cannot be lower than
that of the outside air.
CONTROLS
Air temperature
adjustment knob (I)
Turn the knob either clockwise or
anticlockwise to increase or lower
the requested temperature in the
passenger compartment.
The set temperature is shown on
the display.Turn the knob either fully to the right
or fully to the left to the extreme HI
or LO position to turn the maximum
heating or maximum cooling
functions on:❒HI function (maximum heating):
select by turning the temperature
knob clockwise beyond the
maximum value (32°C).
This function may be used to heat
up the passenger compartment
exploiting the system potential to
the maximum. In this condition, the
system stops controlling the
temperature automatically and sets
the air mixing to maximum heating.
The air speed and distribution are
fixed.
In particular, if the heating fluid is not
sufficiently hot, the maximum fan
speed does not come on straight
away in order to limit the intake
of insufficiently hot air to the
passenger compartment.
All manual settings will be allowed
when this function is on.
To switch the function off, simply
turn the temperature knob
anticlockwise and set the required
temperature.
52
KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
❒LO function (maximum cooling):
select by turning the temperature
knob anticlockwise beyond the
minimum value (16°C).
This function may be used to cool
down the passenger compartment
by exploiting the system's potential
to the full. In this condition, the
system stops controlling the
temperature automatically and sets
the air mixing to maximum cooling.
The air speed and distribution are
fixed. All manual settings will be
allowed when this function is on.
To switch the function off, simply
turn the temperature knob
clockwise and set the required
temperature.
Air distribution
buttons (B)
By pressing these buttons, it is
possible to set one of the 5 possible
air distributions manually:
Air flow to the windscreen and
front side window vents to demist
or 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 vents. Thanks to the
natural tendency of hot air to rise,
this distribution pattern allows
the passenger compartment to
warm up as quickly as possible,
providing an immediate feeling of
warmth.
Air flow distributed between
footwell diffusers (hotter air)
and central and side
dashboard vents (cooler air).
This distribution mode is
particularly useful in spring and
autumn on sunny days.
Air flow distributed between
the footwell vents and the
windscreen and front
side window defrosting/
demisting vents. This allows an
adequate warming of the
passenger compartment and
prevents the windows from
misting up.
The distribution set is shown by the
corresponding LEDs in the selected
buttons coming on.To restore automatic control of the
air distribution after a manual
selection, press the AUTO button.
Fan speed adjustment
buttons (H)
Press the H button at its ends to
increase or to decrease the fan
speed and therefore the amount of
air sent into the passenger
compartment, though the required
temperature remains set.
The fan speed is shown by the lit
bars on the display:
❒Maximum fan speed = all the bars lit
up
❒Minimum fan speed = one bar lit up.
The fan can only be excluded if
the climate control system
compressor has been switched off
by pressing the F button fig. 69.
IMPORTANT To restore automatic
fan speed control after a manual
adjustment, press the AUTO button.
