2016 FIAT DOBLO PANORAMA climate settings

INTRODUCTION
The automatic climate control system
adjusts the temperature, the quantity
and the distribution of the air in the
passenger compartment. The
temperature control is based on the
"equivalent temperature": in other
words, the system continuously works
to keep the comfort level inside the
vehicle constant and to compensate for
possible variations in outside
conditions, including the sun's rays
detected by a dedicated sensor. The
automatically controlled parameters
and functions are:
❒air temperature at the vents;
❒air distribution at the vents;
❒fan speed (continuous variation of the
air flow);
❒compressor activation (for cooling/
dehumidifying the air);
❒air recirculation.
All functions may be changed manually.
In other words, you may select one or
more functions and change the
parameters as required. Automatic
control of the manually changed
functions will be suspended: the
system will override your settings only
for safety-related reasons (e.g. risk
of misting).Manual selections will always take
priority over automatic settings and will
be stored until the user switches the
system back to automatic operation by
pressing the AUTO button again except
for the cases in which the system will
intervene for particular, safety-related
reasons. You can adjust one function
manually without affecting the
automatic control of the others.
The temperature of the air sent is
always controlled automatically,
depending on the temperature set in
the display (except when the system is
off or in certain conditions when the
compressor is switched off).
The system allows the following
parameters and functions to be set or
altered manually: air temperature,
fan speed (continuous variation); air
distribution in seven positions;
compressor enablement; fast
defrosting/demisting function; air
recirculation; switching off the system.USING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
The system can be started in different
ways, but it is advisable to start by
pressing the AUTO button and then
turning the knob to set the temperature
required on the display. The system
will start running automatically in this
way and the set temperature will be
reached as quickly as possible. The
system will adjust the temperature, the
quantity and the distribution of the air
introduced into the passenger
compartment and will manage the
recirculation function and the
compressor engagement. During fully
automatic operation, the only manual
intervention required is the possible
activation of the following functions:
❒
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.

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. 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.
