CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
COMPRESSOR

Press button D to activate/deactivate the
compressor (activation is indicated by the LED on
the button switching on).
The system remembers that the compressor has
been switched off, even after the engine has stopped.
When the compressor is switched off the system
deactivates air recirculation to prevent the windows
from misting up. In this case, if the system is capable
of maintaining the required temperature, the AUTO
LED does not switch off.
The temperatures will instead flash for a few seconds
and the AUTO LED will switch off if the required
temperature cannot be maintained.

INDEX

To restore automatic control of compressor
engagement, press button C again or press the
AUTO button.
With compressor off:
❒ if the outside temperature is higher than the set

one, the climate control system will not be able
to satisfy the request. The temperature values will
then flash on the display for a few seconds to
indicate this;

❒ the fan speed can be reset manually.
With the compressor on and the engine running,
manual ventilation cannot be lower than the
minimum speed (only one LED lit).

IMPORTANT With the compressor off, air cannot
be introduced to the passenger compartment with a
temperature lower than the outside temperature.
Moreover, under certain environmental conditions,
windows could mist rapidly since the air is not
dehumidified.
