14. Driver Temperature Display
Rotate the Driver Temperature Control dial clockwise or
counter-clockwise, to adjust the air temperature in the
front left (Driver Temperature Control) zone of the pas-
senger compartment. The set temperature is shown on
the display. Turning the control knob completely in one
direction or the other activates theHI(maximum heat-
ing) orLO(maximum cooling) functions shown in the
display, respectively. To deactivate these functions, turn
the temperature knob to the desired temperature.
Description
The Automatic Dual Zone Climate Control system regu-
lates the air temperatures in the passenger compartment
in two zones: driver side and passenger side.
The system maintains comfort inside the passenger com-
partment and compensates for possible variations in
external climate conditions.The Climate Control system can recognize extremely cold
(or extremely hot) conditions in the passenger compart-
ment and provide optimal management of the system’s
capabilities.
NOTE:The reference temperature is 72° F (22° C) for
optimal comfort management.
The automatically controlled functions are:
•Air temperature at the driver/front passenger side
vents.
•Blower speed (continuous variation of the air flow).
•Compressor engagement (for cooling/dehumidifying
the air).
•Air recirculation.
All these functions can be adjusted manually by operat-
ing the system, selecting one or more functions and
modifying their parameters.
126 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Automatic control of the functions will be suspended: the
system will only override the settings for safety reasons.
Manual selections always take priority over automatic
ones and are stored until the AUTO button is pushed or
the system itself intervenes for specific safety reasons.
The amount of air introduced into the passenger com-
partment is not affected by car speed; it is regulated by
the fan, which is controlled electronically.
The air temperature is always automatically controlled
according to the temperature set on the display (except
for when the system is off or in certain conditions when
the compressor is not running).
The system allows the following to be set or adjusted
manually:
•Driver/passenger side air temperature
•Blower speed (continuous variation)•Air distribution to seven positions
•Compressor activation
•Rapid defrosting/demisting function
•Air recirculation
•Heated rear window
•System deactivation
NOTE:The Climate Control system detects the passenger
compartment temperature using a temperature sensor,
located in the lower instrument panel between the center
console and the steering wheel.
Turning On The Climate Control System
The Climate Control system can be turned on in different
ways: it is recommended to turn the Temperature Control
knobs to set the desired temperatures and then push the
AUTO button.

The system operates automatically to adjust the tempera-
ture, quantity and distribution of the air introduced into
the passenger compartment. It also manages the air
recirculation function and the activation of the air condi-
tioning compressor.
During automatic operation, you can change the set
temperatures, air distribution and blower speed at any
time by using the relevant buttons or knobs: the system
will automatically change the settings to adjust to the
new requirements.
During automatic operation (AUTO), varying the air
flow and/or distribution or pushing the A/C control
button causes the AUTO function LED to turn off and the
system to operate in MANUAL mode.Adjusting The Air Temperature
Rotate the Driver Temperature Control, or the Passenger
Temperature Control, dial clockwise or counter-
clockwise, to adjust the air temperature in the front left
(Driver Temperature Control) or right (Passenger Tem-
perature Control) zone of the passenger compartment.
The set temperatures are shown on the displays.
Push the SYNC button to align the air temperature
between the two zones.
Turn the Passenger Temperature Control knob to return
to the separate management of air temperatures in the
two zones.
Turning the control knobs completely in one direction or
the other activates theHI(maximum heating) orLO
(maximum cooling) functions respectively.
To deactivate these functions, turn the temperature knob
to the desired temperature.
128 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

If the AUTO button is pushed when the AUTO LED is on,
the system changes to manual mode; it displays the
current flow and distribution status, which will no longer
be managed automatically.
If a manual adjustment is made to the air distribution, the
A/C button or the blower speed, the LED turns off to
indicate that the system is no longer controlling all
functions automatically.
To restore automatic system control after one or more
manual adjustments, push the AUTO button.
SYNC Button
Push the “SYNC” button (LED illuminated) to correlate
the passenger side air temperature with that of the driver
side.
This function makes temperature regulation easier when
the driver is travelling alone.Turn the Passenger Temperature Control knob to set the
passenger side temperature and return to separate air
temperature management.
Air Recirculation
The Air Recirculation is managed by the following:
•Forced activation (air recirculation always on): indi-
cated by the LED on the Recirculation Control button.
•Forced deactivation (air recirculation always off, air
intake from the outside), signalled by the LED on the
Recirculation Control button switching off.
Forced activation/deactivation can be selected by push-
ing the Recirculation Control button.
When the On/Off button is pushed, the Climate Control
system automatically activates internal air recirculation
(LED on Recirculation Control button on).4

MAX A/C
MAX A/C sets the system for maximum cooling perfor-
mance.
Rotate the driver temperature control adjust knob
counter-clockwise for MAX A/C. Both driver and pas-
senger temperature displays will show MAX A/C LO.
In MAX A/C, the blower speed and mode position can be
adjusted to desired user settings. Pressing other settings
will cause the MAX A/C operation to switch to the
selected setting and MAX A/C to exit.
Rapid Window Demisting (MAX-Defrost function)
Push the MAX-defrost button to activate (LED on) the
windshield and side window demisting function.
The Climate Control system carries out the following
operations:
•Turns on the air conditioning compressor when envi-
ronmental conditions are suitable.•Turns air recirculation off.
•Sets blower fan to the maximum speed.
•Directs air flow to windshield and front side window
diffusers.
•Activates the heated rear window defrost.
•Activates the heated windshield (if equipped).
•Displays the fan speed (Blower Control Indicator LED
illuminated).
When the function is activated, the AUTO button LED
turns off. With the function activated, the only possible
manual adjustments are pushing the A/C control button,
adjusting the fan speed and turning the heated rear
window off.
When the Recirculation Control or AUTO buttons are
pushed, the Climate Control system will deactivate the
Front Defrost (MAX-DEF) function.
