SWITCHING THE CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM ON
The system can be started in different ways, but it is
advisable to set the temperatures required on the
display; then press button AUTO.
It is possible to personalise required temperatures
(driver and passenger) with a maximum difference of
7°C.
The climate control system compressor works only
with the engine running and outside temperature over
4°C.
HOW TO USE THE AUTOMATIC
FUNCTION (AUTO)
Press button AUTO; the system will automatically
adjust:
❒ air inlet in the passenger’s compartment;
❒ air distribution in the passenger’s compartment;
thus cancelling all the previous manual adjustments.
When the climate control system is working
automatically, FULL AUTO is displayed. It is possible
to personalise the choices made automatically by the
system intervening manually on the following controls:
❒ fan speed adjustment knob;
❒ air distribution selection button;
❒ inside air recirculation on/off ;
❒ climate control compressor button.
WARNING
It is inadvisable to use the inside air recirculation feature with low outside
temperature as the windows might mist over quickly.
