CLIMATIC COMFORT
Dial C enables the air introduced into
the vehicle to reach all parts of the
passenger compartment through five
distribution options:
delivers air from the central and
side vents;
warms the feet and keeps the face
cool (bi-level function)
allows the passenger
compartment to be warmed more
quickly;
warms up the passenger
compartment and demists the
windscreen at the same time;
Demists and defrosts the
windscreen and front side
windows.
HEATING
Proceed as follows:
turn knob A fully to the right (to
);
turn knob B to the required speed;
turn knob C to:
to warm the feet and demist the
windscreen at the same time;
to send air to the feet and
introduce fresher air from the
central and dashboard vents;
to warm up quickly.FAST HEATING
Proceed as follows
close all the diffusers on the
dashboard;
turn knob A to;
turn knob B to 4;
turn knob C to.

turn knob B to 4;
turn knob C to;
turn off internal air recirculation
(button D LED off).
After demisting/defrosting, operate the
controls as normal to restore the
required comfort conditions.
Window demisting
In the event of considerable external
moisture and/or rain and/or large
differences in temperature inside and
outside the passenger compartment,
perform the following preventive
window demisting procedure:
turn off internal air recirculation
(button D LED off);
turn knob A to;
turn knob B to 2;
turn knob C to, with the
possibility of moving it to position
if
window misting does not occur.
ADJUSTING THE FAN
SPEED
To ventilate the passenger
compartment well, proceed as follows:
fully open the central air diffusers
and the side vents;
turn knob A to the blue section;
turn knob B to the required speed;
turn knob C to;
turn off internal air recirculation
(button D LED off).
INTERNAL AIR
RECIRCULATION
ACTIVATION
Press button D: 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.
IMPORTANT The air recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the
required heating or cooling conditions
faster, depending on the selected
mode. Do not use the internal air
recirculation function on rainy/cold days
to avoid the possibility of the windows
misting.

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. 73.
IMPORTANT To restore automatic fan
speed control after a manual
adjustment, press the AUTO button.
IMPORTANT At high vehicle speeds,
the dynamic effect may increase the
flow of air into the passenger
compartment which in this case will not
directly correspond to the fan speed
bar display.
AUTO button (A) (automatic
operation)
Press AUTO to make the system
automatically adjust the quantity and
distribution of the air introduced into the
passenger compartment. All previous
manual settings will be cancelled.
The message FULL AUTO will appear
on the front display in this condition.
By manually adjusting at least one
of the functions automatically managed
by the system (air recirculation, air
distribution, fan speed or switching off
the compressor), the word FULL will
disappear from the display, indicating
that the system is no longer
automatically controlling all the
functions (the temperature will still be
controlled automatically).IMPORTANT Should the system (after
manual intervention) no longer be
able to guarantee the target
temperature for the passenger
compartment, the set temperature
value will start flashing to indicate the
difficulties the system is experiencing
and then the word AUTO will go out.
To restore system automatic control at
any time, after one or more manual
adjustments, press the AUTO button.
Air recirculation on/off button (G)
The air recirculation is managed
according to the following operating
logic:
override on (inside air recirculation
always on), indicated by the LED on
button G and the
symbol on the
display;
override off (air recirculation
constantly off with air intake from the
outside), signalled by the LED in the
button switching off and by the
symbol in the display disappearing.
These operating conditions are
obtained by pressing air recirculation
button G in sequence.
IMPORTANT The engagement of the air
recirculation system makes it possible
to reach the required heating or cooling
conditions faster.

KNOWING YOUR CAR
The electric windows are fitted with a
security system (where provided) that
can detect the presence of an obstacle
whilst the window is closing; when
this happens, the system kicks in and
the movement of the glass is
immediately reversed.
IMPORTANT In the event that the
anti-crushing function is activated 5
times in only 1 minute, the system will
automatically enter the "recovery" mode
(self-protection). This condition is
apparent from the window closing in
stages.
If this occurs, restore the system as
follows:
open the windows.
If no malfunction is present, the window
returns to its normal operation
automatically.
IMPORTANT With the ignition key at
STOP or removed, the electric windows
remain activated for about two minutes
and are deactivated as soon as a
door is opened.
