Buttons
(temperature
setting)
When the button is pressed, the
temperature requested in the
passenger compartment rises until the
value HI is reached (maximum heating).
When the button is pressed, the
temperature requested in the
passenger compartment decreases
until the value LO is reached (maximum
cooling).
IMPORTANT If the heating fluid
temperature is not sufficiently high, the
maximum fan speed does not come
on straight away in order to limit the
intake of insufficiently hot air into the
passenger compartment.
Buttons (fan speed
adjustment)
When the buttons or are pressed,
the fan speed, shown by the switching
on of lit bars on the display, increases
or decreases.
The fan can be cut off only if the
compressor has been switched off (
button).
To restore automatic fan speed control,
press the AUTO button.
Buttons (manual air
distribution selection)
By pressing the buttons, one of the five
possible air flow distribution patterns
can be selected:
air flow to the windscreen and front
side window diffusers to demist
or defrost them.
air flow to central and side
dashboard vents to ventilate the
chest and the face during the hot
season.
air flow to the front seat feet area
diffusers. Due to the natural
tendency of heat to spread
upwards, this type of distribution
warms the passenger
compartment up as quickly as
possible, providing an immediate
feeling of warmth.
+ distribution between feet area
diffusers (warmest air) and
dashboard diffusers (coolest
air).
+ distribution between feet area
diffusers and windscreen/
front side window diffusers.
This type of distribution
achieves effective heating of
the passenger compartment
and prevents the windows
from misting up.
The set air distribution is shown by the
LEDs on the selected buttons coming
on.
To restore the automatic air distribution
control, press the AUTO button.
Button (front window
fast demisting/
defrosting)
When button is pressed, the
climate control system activates all the
functions required for fast demisting/
defrosting:
❒
compressor on (if the weather
conditions are suitable);
❒
air recirculation off;
❒
maximum air temperature setting (HI);
❒
fan speed determined according to
the coolant temperature;
❒
air flow conveyed to the windscreen
and front side windows;
❒
heated rear window on.
IMPORTANT The function remains
active for approximately 3 minutes after
the coolant temperature exceeds 50°C.
