ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
Press the button to switch on the climate control
compressor.
Compressor on: LED on
button on.
Compressor off:
❒ LED on
button switches off;
❒ internal air recirculation excluded;
With the climate control compressor switched off,
air cannot be introduced into the passenger
compartment that has a lower temperature than the
outside air; in this case the LED on the
button
will light up.
The deactivation of the climate control compressor
is memorised even after the engine has stopped.
To reactivate the climate control compressor, press
the
or AUTO button again: if you press AUTO,
the other manual settings will be cancelled.
AIR DISTRIBUTION SELECTION
Press one or more of buttons A fig. 30 to manually
select one of the possible air distribution settings for
the passenger compartment:
Air flow to the windscreen and front side
window diffusers to demist/defrost them.
Air flow to the footwell diffusers. This air
distribution allows the passenger compartment
to be warmed up quickly.
Air flow distribution to centre/side dashboard
diffusers (passenger's body).
+ Air flow distributed between footwell
diffusers and windscreen and front side
window defrosting/demisting diffusers. This
distribution setting allows the passenger
compartment to be warmed effectively and
prevents the windows from misting.
+ Air flow distribution between footwell
diffusers (hotter air) and centre/side
dashboard diffusers (cooler air).
IMPORTANT For the climate control system to
function, at least one of the buttons A must be
operated fig. 30. The system does not allow the
deactivation of all the buttons A.
IMPORTANT Push the button to turn the climate
control system back on: in this way, all operating
conditions memorised before switching off are
restored.
To restore automatic control of the air distribution
after a manual selection, press the AUTO button.

Press the button.
The LEDS next to the symbol and internal air
recirculation indication on the control panel switch
off.
