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 and
from the dashboard adjustable
vents, the central console adjustable
vent and the fixed floor vent.
• “Tri-Level” mode

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

touching “REAR” sof-key. Once you have entered the rear
climate screen, by touching the
following soft-keys, the driver is able
to:
1. The A/C compressor shell turn on.
2. The system controls the interior
temperature (controls 3, 4) by
adjusting the air flow rate and
the air distribution (controls 5) of
the rear passengers.
3. Adjust the temperature in the
left rear zone.
4. Adjust the temperature in the
right rear zone.
5. Set the airflow distribution
mode.Dashboard Instruments and Controls

6. Synchronise the two rear
passenger temperature setting. If
the driver adjust the temperature
while SYNC mode is on, this will
affect the rear passenger
temperature. If the front or rear

and turn it off.
7. Set the blower speed through
sever speed levels.
8. Re-activate the rear climate
setting.
9. Turn off the rear climate option.
10. Block the settings of the rear
climate.
11. Return to the front climate
control screen. Operating Tips • Continuous use of the air
recirculation in winter, in rainy
weather or humid climate is not
recommended because it may cause
window fogging.
• Interior fogging on the windshield
can be quickly removed by fast
defrosting/defogging. The “Mix”
mode can be used to maintain a clear
windshield and provide sufficient
heating. If side window fogging
becomes a problem increase blower
speed.
NOTE:
• Recirculation mode without A/C
should not be used for long periods
of time, as fogging may occur.
• If inside the passenger compartment
there are conditions of high
temperature and humidity, when the A/C compressor is switched on (A/C
softkey illuminated on MTC+ display
or LED on climate control panel A/C
button ON) there may be some cold
steam at ventilation port outlet: this
situation is normal and does not
indicate air conditioning system
malfunction.
• Automatic Temperature Controls
(ATC) will automatically adjust the
climate control settings to prevent or
eliminate window fogging on the
front windshield.
• Make sure the A/C system air intake
grille, located under the bonnet
directly in front of the windshield, is
free of obstructions such as leaves or
other objects. Leaves collected in the
air intake may reduce airflow, and if
they enter the plenum, they could
plug the water drains. In winter
make sure the air intake is clear of
ice, slush, and snow.
• The temperature can be displayed in
U.S. or Metric. units by selecting the
“Units” customer programmable
feature. See “MTC+ Settings” in this
section.
