AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The additional heater turns on automatically
depending on the environmental conditions and with
engine started when the temperature of the engine
coolant is low.
It is turned off also automatically after reaching the
required comfort conditions in the passenger
compartment and when the engine coolant
temperature is hot.
According to the temperature set by the user, the
automatic climate control system fig. 30
automatically adjusts:
❒ the temperature of the air sent into the passenger
compartment;
❒ the speed of the fan (continuous variation of the
air flow rate);
❒ the distribution of the air in the passenger
compartment;
❒ compressor engagement/disengagement (for
cooling/dehumidifying the air);
❒ interior air recirculation activation/deactivation.
All the above functions can be changed manually by
selecting the required function(s). Manual setting of a
function does not impair the automatic control of
the other functions even if the AUTO button LED is
off.
