SWITCHING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM ON
The system can be started in different ways, but it is
advisable to press one of the AUTO buttons and then
to turn the knobs to set the temperatures required on
the display.
It is possible to personalise required temperatures
(driver and passenger) with a maximum difference of 7
°C.
This way the system will start working completely
automatically to reach the temperatures set as quickly
as possible. The system will adjust the air temperature,
flow and distribution and will control the air
recirculation function and the conditioner compressor
on/off.
During fully automatic operation, the only manual
settings required are the following:
❒ MONO, to align the air temperature and
distribution set on the passenger’s side (front or
rear) with that on the driver’s side;
❒ …, air recirculation, to keep it always on or off;
❒ -, to speed up demisting/defrosting of
windscreen, front side windows, rear window and
door mirrors;
❒ (, to demist/defrost the rear heated window and
the door mirrors.
During completely automatic system operation, the
temperatures, air distribution and the fan speed set
can be changed at any time through the relevant
buttons or knobs: the system will automatically change
its settings to adjust to the new requirements.
During full automatic operation (FULL AUTO), any
change in air distribution and/or air flow and/or
compressor turning on and/or air recirculation will
obtain FULL disappearing. In this way functions will be
controlled manually until pressing the AUTO button
again. The fan speed is the same for all passenger
compartment areas.
With one or more functions engaged manually, the
adjustment of the temperature of the air admitted to
the passenger compartment continues to be
controlled automatically by the system, except with
the climate control compressor off. In fact, in this
condition, the air admitted to the passenger
compartment cannot have a lower temperature than
the outside air.
