2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia climate settings

Caution!
The system uses R1234yf refrigerant,
which does not pollute the environment in
the event of accidental leakage. Under no
circumstances, use R134a and R12 fluids,
which are incompatible with the
components of this system.
Description
The Automatic Dual Zone Climate
Control System adjusts the temperature
and air distribution independently
between the driver and passenger.
The system maintains the set
temperature inside the passenger
compartment and compensates for
outside temperature change.
The automatic setting will adjust the
following to maintain comfort within the
passenger compartment:
Air temperature from the driver/front
passenger side vents
Air distribution from the driver/front
passenger side vents
Fan speed (continuous variation of
the air flow)
Compressor variations (for
cooling/dehumidifying the air)
Air recirculation The Climate Control System can also
be operated manually by using the
buttons and knobs on the faceplate.
Manual selections will override the
automatic settings, which are stored
until the AUTO button is pushed. If the
system intervenes for safety reasons,
the automatic setting will take control of
the system.
The below operations will not
deactivate the automatic (AUTO)
function:
Air Recirculation activation/
deactivation
A/C activation/deactivation
SYNC function activation
Rear Window Defrost activation/
deactivation
When in AUTO mode, the vehicle’s
internal temperature is controlled
according to the set temperature.
The following can be manually set or
adjusted:
Driver/passenger air temperature
Blower speed (continuous variation)
Air distribution (seven positions for
driver and passenger)
A/C activation
Front Defroster
Air recirculation
Rear Defroster
System deactivation
Operating Mode
The Climate Control system can be
activated in different ways. It is
recommended to use the automatic
function. Push the AUTO button and
set the desired temperatures.
The automatic system adjusts the
temperature, quantity, and distribution
of air introduced into the passenger
compartment. It also controls air
recirculation and the activation of the air
conditioner.
At any time during automatic operation,
you can change the temperature,
activate or deactivate the Rear
Defroster, activate SYNC, activate or
deactivate the air conditioner, and
activate or deactivate air recirculation.
The system will automatically adjust to
the new settings.

The indicator lights located on the a
number of the buttons and knobs
indicate that the selected feature is
on/off. If no operation is performed for a
predetermined time, the pop-up will
close on the display.
Air Temperature
Adjustment
Rotate the driver or passenger
Temperature Adjustment Knob to the
right for warmer temperatures or to the
left for cooler temperatures. The set
temperatures are shown on the
Connect system.
Push the SYNC button to sync the
driver and passenger air temperatures.
Rotate the passenger Temperature
Adjustment Knob to cancel the SYNC
function. This will set a new passenger
side temperature.
Rotate the Temperature Adjustment
Knob fully right to engage the HI
(maximum heating) setting or fully left to
engage the LO (maximum cooling)
setting. To deactivate these functions,
rotate the Temperature Adjustment
Knob to the desired temperature.
Air Distribution
Selection
Push the Air Distribution Selection
button on the faceplate to change the
mode of air distribution.
Air flow to the windshield and front
side window vents to
demist/defrost them.
Air flow at the central and side
dashboard vents to ventilate the
chest and the face.
Air flow to the front and rear floor
vents. This setting heats the
passenger compartment the
quickest.
Air flow distributed between the
floor vents (hotter air) and the
central and side dashboard vents
(cooler air). This air distribution
setting is useful on sunny days
during spring and autumn.
Air flow distributed between the
floor vents, windshield, and front
side window defrosting/demisting
vents. This distribution setting
warms the passenger
compartment while preventing the
windows from fogging up.
Air flow distribution between the
windshield demisting/defrosting
vents, and side/central dashboard
vents. This distribution setting
sends air to the windshield in
sunny conditions.
Air flow distribution to all vents on
the vehicle.
In AUTO mode, the Climate Controls
automatically manage the air
distribution. When set manually, the
respective symbols on the Connect
system indicate the air distribution
setting.

Quantity and distribution of air flow in
the passenger compartment
The air conditioner
Air recirculation
Cancels any manual settings
Selecting the AUTO function illuminates
the indicator on the A/C button
.
If air distribution or the fan speed is
manual adjusted, the AUTO button
indicator will turn off to indicate that the
Climate Control system is no longer in
AUTO mode. After a manual adjustment, push the
AUTO button to resume the automatic
system.
SYNC Button
Push the SYNC button (indicator
illuminated) to sync the passenger side
air temperature with the driver side air
temperature.
This function makes temperature
regulation easier when the driver is
traveling alone.
Turn the passenger Temperature
Adjustment Knob or push the
passenger side Air Distribution
Selection Button to change the
passenger side air temperature and
return to separate air temperature
management.
Air Recirculation And Air
Quality System (AQS)
Air Recirculation is managed according
to the following operating mode:
Automatic engagement: indicator is
illuminated above the “A” on the Air
Recirculation Button
Forced activation (air circulation
always activated): indicator illuminated
above the
iconontheAir
Recirculation Button
Forced deactivation (air recirculation
always off with intake of outside air):
both indicators illuminated on the Air
Recirculation Button The three operating conditions are
obtained by pushing the Air
Recirculation Button
in sequence.
Enabling The Air Quality System
(AQS) Function — If Equipped
When the automatic recirculation
function is selected, the AQS function
automatically activates internal air
recirculation when the outside air is
polluted (e.g. in heavy traffic and
tunnels).
At low external temperatures or in high
humidity, the automatic function turns
off to avoid fogging up the windows.
The user can select the function again
by pushing the Air Recirculation Button.
In automatic operation, air recirculation
will be controlled by the system
according to outside environmental
conditions.
Note:
With the AQS function active and
after the internal air recirculation
system has been functioning for a set
amount of time, the Climate Control
System enables air intake to cycle the
air in the passenger compartment for a
set time. The AQS function is disabled
during the air changes.
