Button T – D
Air recirculation on/off
It is advisable to switch the internal air recirculation on
while standing in queues or in tunnels to prevent the in-
troduction of polluted air.
Led on button ON = recirculation ON.
Led on button OFF = recirculation OFF.
At low temperatures or if the compressor is off, the re-
circulation is forced to off to avoid misting.
IMPORTANT It is inadvisable to use air recirculation on
cold days as it would considerably increase the possibility
of windows misting up inside.
During AUTO operation, due to safety reasons and to refresh
air flow, after long recirculation activation (over 25 minutes)
the system will deactivate automatically air recirculation for
1 minute.
Buttons Х Ф – E
Temperature setting
Pressing the button
Õ the temperature in the passen-
ger compartment will rise until the value HI is reached
(maximum heating).
Pressing the button Ô the temperature in the passenger
compartment will decrease until the value LO is reached
(maximum cooling).
HI function
This function can be switched on to heat the passenger
compartment as quickly as possible; air distribution and fan
speed are controlled by the system.
To turn this function off, set the required temperature.
❒ it is not possible to convey air to the passenger com-
partment with a temperature below the outside tem-
perature (the displayed temperature value will flash
when the system cannot guarantee the required com-
fort conditions);
❒ the fan speed can be manually reset (with compressor
enabled, ventilation cannot go below a bar shown on
the display).
Button OFF – C
System switching off
Pressing the OFF button the system is switched off.
With the system off, the climate control system conditions
are as follows:
❒ all LEDs off;
❒ set temperature display off;
❒ air recirculation off;
❒ compressor off;
❒ fan off.
Under this condition, air recirculation can be turned on
or off without activating the system.
IMPORTANT The system will store the settings (except
recirculation) performed before turning off and will re-
sume them when pressing any button (if the function cor-
responding to the button pressed is off, it will be turned
on; if on it will be kept active). Press
AUTO to start the
system automatically.
