Dashboard Instruments and Controls
Air for each zone comes from all the
adjustable/fixed and defrost/demist
vents.
14. “SYNC” mode
Touch the “SYNC” soft-key on the
MTC+ to switch the Sync feature
on/off. The “SYNC” soft-key
illuminates when this feature is
selected. This function is used
to synchronise the passenger
temperature setting with the driver
temperature setting.
Changing the passenger temperature
setting while in “SYNC” will
automatically exit this feature.
15. “REAR” mode
This soft-key is present only if the
vehicle is equipped with the additional
dual-zone air conditioning system for
rear passengers.
Touching "REAR" soft-key you enter
the screen where the settings available
for rear seat passengers are displayed.
For the description of these controls,
see paragraph "Four-Zone Climate
Controls (optional)" of this chapter.
Dual Zone Climate Control
Functions
Air Conditioning (A/C)
The “A/C” soft-key allows to manually
activate or deactivate the air
conditioning system. When the air
conditioning system is turned on, cool
dehumidified air will flow through the
vents into the cabin. For improved fuel
economy, touch the “A/C” soft-key
to turn off the air conditioning and
manually adjust the blower and
airflow mode settings.
When the “A/C” and “AUTO”
functions are switched off it is not
possible to have air at a lower
temperature than the outside.
Recirculation and Air Quality
Sensor (AQS)
When outside air contains smoke,
odours, or high humidity, or if rapid
cooling is desired, you may wish to
recirculate interior air by pressing the
recirculation control button or the
relevant soft-key to activate the two
different functionalities.
The recirculation function, that allows
to open/close the A/C air inlet by
operating the
button on the
climate control panel or the MTC+
soft-key, is integrated with the Air
Quality Sensor.
This sensor, positioned upstream of
the A/C filter, in front of the air intake
of the A/C system, detects the presence
of polluting substances and submits an
electric signal to the A/C control unit,
that closes the intake of the external
air by activating the air recirculation.
The
button or the MTC+
soft-key can therefore enable three
operating modes, switchable in
sequence.
Starting from the outside air condition
with LED on the button off and MTC+
soft-key not highlighted, in which the
external air is aspirated by the A/C
system and treated to be introduced
into the passenger compartment,
subsequent actuations of the
button or the MTC+ soft-key change
the state as follows.
• First press: the A/C system activates
the automatic recirculation control by
using the signal transmitted from the
AQS. The symbol ‘’A’’ on the
button and the MTC+ soft-key lights
up.
• Second press: the A/C system activates
the recirculation, the LED on the
button or the MTC+ soft-key
lights up. The A/C system will stay this
way up to a new actuation, or until
the increased humidity could lead to
windshield fogging: in this case the
recirculation automatically switches
to external air.
• Third press: the A/C system switches
back to external air (default
operating mode).
