CONTROLS
Knobs for adjusting air tempera-
ture (2, 8 fig. 121 - 1 fig. 122)
Turn the knobs towards the right
or towards the left to raise or lower
the air temperature required respec-
tively in the front left-hand area
(knob
2 fig. 121 ) and in the front
right-hand area (knob 8 fig. 121 ) or
back area (knob 1 fig. 122 ) of the
passenger compartment.
Since the system controls three
areas of the passenger compartment,
the driver and the front/back-seat
passengers can select different tem-
perature values with a maximum
difference accepted by the system of
7 °C.
Temperature control in the front
passenger area and in the back pas-
senger area is alternated; when the
button led
REAR is off, control of
front passenger side is on, but when
button
REAR is pressed (button led
on) the back control panel is activat-
ed.
The set temperatures are shown on
the displays set near the respective
knobs.
Press button 16 ( MONO - fig. 121 )
to automatically align the
(front/back) passenger temperature
to the temperature on driver’s side.
Consequently the temperature in the
two areas can be set simply by turn-
ing the knob on the driver side
2
(fig. 121) . This function is provided
to facilitate adjusting the temperature
in the passenger compartment when
only the driver is present. The sepa-
rate operation of the set temperatures
and air distribution is automatically
reset when knobs
8 (fig. 121) or 1
(fig. 122) are turned or button 16
( MONO - fig. 121 ) is pressed again,
when the button led is turned on.
Turn the knobs fully to the right or
to the left to the end positions HI or
LO , to obtain maximum heating or
cooling, respectively:
– HI function (maximum heating):
this is switched on by turning the
temperature knob to the right
beyond the maximum value (32 °C).
It can be independently switched on
from driver’s side or from
(front/back) passenger’s side or
from both sides (also by selecting the
MONO function).
This function can be switched on to
speed up heating in the passenger
compartment by exploiting the sys-
tem potential to the maximum. The
function employs the maximum
coolant temperature while the air
distribution and fan speed are set by
the system according to environ-
mental conditions. In particular, if
the coolant temperature is not suffi-
cient, the function does not switch
the fan on at top speed to limit let-
ting into air which is not adequately
warm.
All the manually settings can be
adjusted when the function is on.
