passenger zone, can be adjusted so air
comes from the dashboard vents,
vents under the dashboard in
direction of the floor, vents under the
front seats and demist/defrost vents.
The MTC+ display contains the
relevant soft-keys used to set these
modes for each zone. The climate
control panel features a single button
for each zone: press it several times to
select and set the required airflow
distribution mode.
Available settings are as follows:
• “Floor” mode
Air for each zone comes from the
front vents, located under the
dashboard and under the front
seats. A small portion of the airflow
is directed through the
defrost/demist vents to prevent
windows fogging.Dashboard Instruments and Controls

217

• “Dashboard” mode
Air flows for each zone from four
adjustable vents of the dashboard,
two vents on the upper part of the
dashboard and two positioned at
the rear end of the central console.
Each of these vents can be singly
adjusted. The air grids or vanes of
the vents can be moved to adjust air
flow direction. A setting wheel,
placed near each vent, allows to
regulate or close the airflow.
• “Bi-Level” mode
Air for each zone comes from the
dashboard and central console
adjustable vents and the fixed floor
vents. A small portion of the airflow
is directed through the
defrost/demist vents to prevent
windows fogging.
NOTE:
Bi-Level mode is designed to let cooler
air come in the dashboard and rear
part of the central console vents and
warmer air from the floor vents.
• “Defrost” mode
Air for each zone comes from the
dashboard defrost/demist vents to
prevent windows fogging. • “Mix” mode
Air for each zone comes from the
defrost/demist vent, the vent under
the dashboard and from floor vent.
This mode is recommended for cold
climates, to improve comfort and
prevent windows fogging.
• “Hi-Level” mode
Air for each zone comes from the
dashboard defrost/demist vents,
from the dashboard and central
console adjustable vents and the
fixed floor vents.
• “Tri-Level” mode
Air for each zone comes from all the
adjustable/fixed and defrost/demist
vents.
14. “SYNC” mode
Touch the “SYNC” soft-key on the
MTC+ to switch the Sync feature

Dual Zone Climate Control
Functions Air Conditioning (A/C)
The “A/C” soft-key allows to manually
activate or deactivate the air
conditioning system. When the air
conditioning system is turned on, cool
dehumidified air will flow through the
vents into the cabin. For improved fuel
economy, touch the “A/C” soft-key to
turn off the air conditioning and
manually adjust the blower and
airflow mode settings.
When the “A/C” and “AUTO”
functions are switched off it is not
possible to have air at a lower

Recirculation and Air Quality
Sensor (AQS)
When outside air contains smoke,
odours, or high humidity, or if rapid
cooling is desired, you may wish to
recirculate interior air by pressing the
recirculation control button or the
relevant soft-key to activate the two
different functionalities.
The recirculation function, that allows
to open/close the A/C air inlet by
operating the
button on the
climate control panel or the MTC+
soft-key, is integrated with the Air
Quality Sensor.
This sensor, positioned upstream of
the A/C filter, in front of the air intake
of the A/C system, detects the
presence of polluting substances and
submits an electric signal to the A/C
control unit, that closes the intake of
the external air by activating the air
recirculation.
The
button or the MTC+ soft-key
can therefore enable three operating
modes, switchable in sequence.
Starting from the outside air condition
with LED on the button off and MTC+
soft-key not highlighted, in which the
external air is aspirated by the A/C
system and treated to be introduced
into the passenger compartment,
subsequent actuations of the button or the MTC+ soft-key
change the state as follows.
• First press: the A/C system activates
the automatic recirculation control
by using the signal transmitted from
the AQS. The symbol ‘’A’’ on the
button and the MTC+ soft-key
lights up.
• Second press: the A/C system
activates the recirculation, the LED
on the
button or the MTC+
soft-key lights up. The A/C system
will stay this way up to a new
actuation, or until the increased
humidity could lead to windshield
fogging: in this case the recirculation
automatically switches to external
air.
• Third press: the A/C system switches
back to external air (default
operating mode).
The next press of the
button or
the MTC+ soft-key restars the
operating cycle just described.
NOTE:
To avoid the risk of fogging, the AQS
is disabled when the external
temperature falls below 35°F (2°C). NOTE:
In cold weather, use of recirculation
mode may lead to window fogging.
Select the MIX mode
and increase
the blower speed to prevent fogging.
MAX A/C
Activating this function, the system
switches to exit “AUTO”, enter “A/C”
and recirculation. The minimum
temperature (LO) in both zones, the
maximum blower speed and theDashboard Instruments and Controls

soft-key or exit A/C or recirculation.
Selecting
, “AUTO”, or “OFF”, will
also exit “MAX A/C”.
Automatic Temperature Control
(ATC) Automatic operation
• Press the “AUTO” soft-key of driver
and/or passenger zone on the
climate control panel or the relevant
soft-key button on the MTC+ screen.
The text “AUTO” will appear inside
the space usually occupied by the
bars between the blower icons. • Set the desired temperature
adjusting the driver and/or passenger
temperature control buttons or
soft-keys. The system automatically
work to maintain the best comfort
level inside the passengers
compartment.
• When the system is set up for your
comfort level, it is not necessary to
change the settings anymore, simply
allow the system to function
automatically. • To provide you with maximum
comfort in the automatic mode,
during cold start-ups the blower
speed will remain low until the
engine warms up.
Manual operation
The system allows manual selection of
blower speed, air distribution mode,
A/C status and recirculation control.
The blower fan speed can be set to any
fixed speed by using the blower
control. In this case the blower will
operate at a fixed speed until a
different speed is selected. This allows
the front occupants to control the
volume of air circulated in the vehicle
exiting the “AUTO” mode.
The user can also choose the direction
of the airflow by selecting one of the
available mode settings. A/C
