system function engagement.
Pressing the AUTO button and setting the required tem-
perature, the system adjusts air temperature, quantity and
distribution into the passenger compartment and controls
the compressor operation.
Button √ – B Compressor on/off
Pressing the button, with LED on, the compressor and the
LED switch off.
Pressing the button when the LED is off, the automatic
system is restored, activating the compressor and turn-
ing the button LED on.
When the compressor is off:

AIR CONDITIONS CONTROL
SYSTEM
(for versions/markets where provided)
The automatic climate control system automatically reg-
ulates the following depending on the temperature set
by the user:
❒ the temperature of the air conveyed to the passenger
compartment;
❒ fan speed (continuous air flow variation);
❒ air distribution inside the passenger compartment;
❒ compressor activation/deactivation (to cool/
dehumidify air);
❒ air recirculation on/off.
The system continuously processes different parameters to
keep constant the comfort inside the passenger compartment
and to compensate for any variation of the outside climate
conditions.
All the above functions can be changed manually by se-
lecting the required function/s. Manual setting of a func-
tion does not impair the automatic control of the other
functions even if the
AUTO button LED is off. Manual se-
lections will always prevail over automatic settings and will
be stored until the user switches the system back to au-
tomatic mode pressing the
AUTO button, except for
the cases in which the system will intervene for particular,
safety-related reasons.
