MONO BUTTON
Press the MONO 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 L to set the passenger side temperature
and return to separate air temperature management.
AIR RECIRCULATION
The air recirculation is managed according to the
following operating logics:
❒
forced activation (air recirculation always on):
indicated by the LED on button B
;
❒
forced deactivation (air recirculation always off, air
intake from the outside), signalled by the LED on
button B
switching off.
Forced activation/deactivation can be selected by
pressing button B
.
When button is pressed, the climate control
system automatically activates internal air
recirculation (LED on button B
on)
It is still possible to activate outside air recirculation
(LED on the button off ) and vice versa, by pressing
button B
.
In automatic operation, recirculation is managed
automatically by the system according to outside
environmental conditions.
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 in from the
outside) to prevent the windows from misting up.
It is inadvisable to use internal air
recirculation when the outside
temperature is low, since the windows
could mist up rapidly.
CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
COMPRESSOR
Press button D to activate/deactivate the
compressor (activation is indicated by the LED on
the button switching on).
The system remembers that the compressor has
been switched 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. In this case, if the system is capable
of maintaining the required temperature, the AUTO
LED does not switch off.
The temperatures will instead flash for a few seconds
and the AUTO LED will switch off if the required
temperature cannot be maintained.
