indicate that the climate control system
is no longer controlling all functions
automatically.
To restore automatic system control
after one or more manual adjustments,
press the AUTO button.
SYNC button
Press the SYNC button (LED on button
lit) to align the passenger side air
temperature with that of the driver side.
This function makes temperature
regulation easier when the driver is
travelling alone.
Turn knob 9 or button 7 to set the
passenger side temperature and return
to separate air temperature
management.
Air recirculation and AQS (Air Quality
System) function
The air recirculation is managed
according to the following operating
mode:
automatic engagement: LED on above
the label A, on button 15;
forced activation (air circulation
always activated): LED on above the icon
, on button 15;
forced deactivation (air recirculation
always off with intake of outside air):
both LEDs on button 15 are off.
The three operating conditions are
obtained by pressing the air recirculation
button
, 15, in sequence.
Enabling the AQS (Air Quality System)
function
(where provided)
The AQS function automatically
activates internal air recirculation when
the outside air is polluted (e.g. in traffic
queues and tunnels), when the automatic
recirculation function is selected.
At low external temperatures or with
high humidity, the automatic function
turns off to avoid misting up the
windows. The user can select the function
again by pressing the recirculation button
15.
IMPORTANT With the AQS function
active, after the internal air recirculation
system has been functioning for a long
time, the climate control system enables
a few cycles of outside air intake to
change the air in the passenger
compartment for a preset time. The AQS
function is disabled during the air
changes.
IMPORTANT The engagement of the
recirculation system makes it possible to
reach the required heating/cooling
conditions faster. It is, however,
inadvisable to use it on rainy/cold days as
it would considerably increase the
possibility of the windows misting up
inside (especially if the climate control
system is off). When the outside
temperature is low, recirculation is
forced off (air drawn from the outside) to
prevent the windows misting up.
In automatic operation inside air
recirculation will be controlled
automatically by the system according to
outside environmental conditions.
IMPORTANT It is advisable not to use the
air recirculation function when the
outside temperature is low to prevent
the windows from rapidly misting up.
Climate control compressor
Press the A/C button to activate/
deactivate the compressor (activation is
indicated by the lit LED on the button).
The system remembers that the
compressor has been turned off, even
after the engine has stopped.
When the compressor is switched off the
system deactivates air recirculation to
prevent the windows from misting up. If
the climate control system is capable of
maintaining the required temperature,
the LED on the AUTO button does not
switch off.
To restore automatic control of
compressor engagement, press again the
A/C button or the AUTO button. With the
compressor off, the fan speed can be
reset manually.
With the compressor on and the engine
running, manual ventilation cannot be
lower than the minimum speed (only one
LED lit).
IMPORTANT With the compressor off, air
cannot be introduced to the passenger
compartment with a temperature lower
