DASHBOARD
AND
CONTROLS
During completely automatic system
operation, you can vary the set tem-
perature, the air distribution and the
fan speed using the corresponding
buttons or knobs at any time: the sys-
tem will automatically change settings
to adapt to the new request.
During fully automatic operation
(
FULL AUTO
), the word
FULL
will
diasspear if the air distribution, air
speed, compressor and/or recircula-
tion settings are changed. In this way,
the functions will switch from auto-
matic to manual control until
AUTO
is pressed again. The fan speed is the
same in all the zones of the passenger
compartment.
With on or more manually set func-
tions, the introduced air temperature
is still managed automatically by the
system, except for when the compres-
sor is off: in the case, the air intro-
duced into the passenger compart-
ment cannot be cooler than the out-
side air.
During fully automatic operation, the
only functions that are enabled man-
ually are:
❒
MONO
to uniform the tempera-
ture and the air distribution on
front passenger or rear passenger
zones to the driver’s zone;
❒
…
air recirculation, to keep it
always on or off;
❒
-
to speed up demisting/defro-
sting of windscreen, side windows,
rear window and door mirrors;
❒
(
to demist/defrost the heated
rear window and the external
rearview mirrors.
USING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
The system can be started in different
ways, but it is advisable to press one
of the
AUTO
buttons and then to turn
the knobs to set the temperatures re-
quired on the display.
The system manages two passenger
compartment zones: the driver and
passenger can therefore select different
temperatures. The maximum differ-
ence between the two zones is 7°C.
The system will start running auto-
matically in this way and the set com-
fortable temperature will be reached
as quickly as possible. The system ad-
justs the temperature, amount and
distribution of air delivered to the
passenger compartment. In addition,
it manages the recirculation function
to engage the climate control system
compressor.
