GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

IMPORTANT When the engine is

started with the climate control sys-
tem in automatic mode and the ex-
ternal temperature is very low, the fan
may not be activated. Do not consid-
er it a malfunction; the system will re-
store the normal operation as soon as
the temperature threshold set by the
system is reached.

AIR DISTRIBUTION

Air distribution options, controlled

automatically or manually, are the fol-
lowing:

– ventilation (front)

– bilevel (front/feet)

– feet

– windscreen/feet

– MAX-DEF function.

Air is also delivered to second and

third row seat.

Ventilation

The treated air flow passes through

5 front vents placed on the edge and
in the middle of the dashboard. The air
flow can be directed both horizontal-
ly and vertically by adjusting manually
the tab position and the control lever.

Air capacity can be adjusted by ro-

tating the vent sliders.

With this setting the system enables

air capacity variation for the second
and third row.

Bilevel function

The air flow is distributed in the fol-

lowing way: 45% ventilation, 45% feet,
10% windscreen.

With this setting treated air is di-

rected towards the feet of front and
rear seat passengers and towards the
dashboard vents. It also enables air ca-
pacity variation for the second and
third row.

Feet

Air is directed towards the feet

through:

– three front vents for the first row

(2 on the driver’s side and 1 on the
passenger’s side);

– four vents on the floor (2 for the

second row and 2 for the third row).

Windscreen/feet

Air is distributed with the same per-

centage to the feet (40%) and wind-
screen vents (40%), but a small per-
centage is devoted to ventilation (20%)
in order to guarantee the passenger
compartment heating and to prevent
frosting.

This type of air distribution is applied

by the climate control system auto-
matic operation, especially when the
external temperature is very low and
it is necessary to direct some warm air
towards the driver’s hands.
