Abarth 2014 500, Owner'S Manual

Page: 31 / 211

According to the temperature set by the
user, the automatic climate control
system fig. 26 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 on/off.
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.
AUTO button (automatic
climate control function
on)
When the AUTO button is pressed and
the required temperature is set, the
system adjusts air temperature,
quantity and distribution into the
passenger compartment and controls
the compressor operation.
Button (climate
control system
compressor on/off)
Pressing the button, with LED on, the
compressor and the LED switch off.
When the compressor is off:
❒
the system will deactivate air
recirculation to prevent the windows
from misting up;
❒
it is not possible to convey air to the
passenger compartment with a
temperature below the outside
temperature (the displayed
temperature value will flash when the
system cannot guarantee the
required comfort conditions);
❒
the fan speed can be manually reset
(with compressor enabled, ventilation
cannot go below a bar shown on
the display).
OFF button (climate
control system off)
Pressing the OFF button the climate
control system is turned off.
With climate control system off:
❒
all LEDs are off;
❒
set temperature display is off;
❒
air recirculation is off;
❒
the compressor is off;
❒
the fan is off.
In this condition, air recirculation can be
turned on or off without activating the
climate control system.
Button (internal air
recirculation on/off)
It is advisable to switch the internal air
recirculation on whilst queuing or in
tunnels to prevent the introduction 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 recirculation is
forced to off to avoid misting.
IMPORTANT It is inadvisable to use air
recirculation when the outside
temperature is low, since the windows
could mist rapidly.
