Climate control compressor off
button B
Press the
ò
button, when the button
led is on, to switch the compressor off.
The led will go off. By pressing again
the button when the led is off, the sys-
tem automatic control of the com-
pressor activation is restored; this con-
dition is indicated by button led light-
ing up.
When the air conditioner compressor
is off, the system deactivates air re-
circulation to prevent window misting
up. Although the system is still able to
maintain the required temperature,
the message FULL on the display will
go off. If the system is no longer able
to keep the required temperature, also
the message AUTO will turn off.
IMPORTANT Air at a temperature
lower than that of the outside air can-
not be let into the passenger com-
partment when the compressor is off.
Furthermore, in particular environ-
mental conditions, the windows could
mist up fast because the air is no
longer dehumidified.
Setting will be stored also when the
engine is stopped.
Either press button
ò
or AUTO to re-
set automatic control of the compres-
sor.
With compressor off, if the outside
temperature is higher than the set
temperature, the system cannot reach
the required temperature. This will be
signalled by the flashing of set tem-
perature value on the display for one
minute, then the message AUTO will
go off.
When the compressor is off, it is pos-
sible to reset manually the fan speed.
When the compressor is on and the
engine is running, manual ventilation
cannot be lower than the bar indi-
cated on the display.

climate control system compressor
on (with proper climatic condi-
tions);
❒
air recirculation off;
❒
maximum air temperature ( HI ) on
both areas;
❒
