Air distribution selection
By pressing the 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/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. This air distribution
setting heats the passenger
compartment most quickly, giving a
prompt sensation of warmth.
+Air flow distributed between
footwell vents (hotter air) and
central and side dashboard
vents (cooler air). This air
distribution setting is useful in
spring and autumn on sunny
days.
+Air flow distributed between
footwell vents and windscreen
and front side vents. This
distribution setting allows the
passenger compartment to be
warmed up efficiently and
prevents the windows from
misting up.
In AUTO mode, the climate control
system automatically manages air
distribution (the LEDs on buttons 7 are
off). When set manually, the airdistribution is indicated by the LEDs on
the selected buttons switching on.
In combined function mode the relevant
function is enabled simultaneously with
those already set by pressing the
corresponding button. If a button
whose function is already active is
pressed, the operation is cancelled and
the corresponding LED switches off. To
restore automatic control of the air
distribution after a manual selection,
press the AUTO button.
Start&Stop(where provided)
The automatic climate control system
manages the Start&Stop system
(engine off when vehicle speed is equal
to 0 km/h) to ensure adequate comfort
inside the vehicle.
When the Start&Stop system is on
(engine off and vehicle at a standstill),
the automatic recirculation
management is turned off always taking
air in from outside, to reduce the
probability of the windows misting up
(as the compressor is off).
