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

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:

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).
There are also another 4 positions (see
diagram below fig. 29):

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

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.
