Operation Manual

Air flow to the front and rear
footwell vents. Thanks to the
natural tendency of hot air to rise,
this distribution pattern allows
the passenger compartment to
warm up as quickly as possible,
providing an immediate feeling of
warmth.
Air flow distributed between
footwell diffusers (hotter air)
and central and side
dashboard vents (cooler air).
This distribution mode is
particularly useful in spring and
autumn on sunny days.
Air flow distributed between
the footwell vents and the
windscreen and front
side window defrosting/
demisting vents. This allows an
adequate warming of the
passenger compartment and
prevents the windows from
misting up.
The distribution set is shown by the
corresponding LEDs in the selected
buttons coming on.
To restore automatic control of the air
distribution after a manual selection,
press the AUTO button.
Fan speed adjustment
buttons (H)
Press the H button at its ends to
increase or to decrease the fan speed
and therefore the amount of air sent
into the passenger compartment,
though the required temperature
remains set.
The fan speed is shown by the lit bars
on the display:
❒ Maximum fan speed = all the bars lit
up
❒ Minimum fan speed = one bar lit up.
The fan can only be excluded if the
climate control system compressor has
been switched off by pressing the F
button fig. 73.
IMPORTANT To restore automatic fan
speed control after a manual
adjustment, press the AUTO button.
IMPORTANT At high vehicle speeds,
the dynamic effect may increase the
flow of air into the passenger
compartment which in this case will not
directly correspond to the fan speed
bar display.
AUTO button (A)
(automatic operation)
Press AUTO to make the system
automatically adjust the quantity and
distribution of the air introduced into the
passenger compartment. All previous
manual settings will be cancelled.
The message FULL AUTO will appear
on the front display in this condition.
By manually adjusting at least one
of the functions automatically managed
by the system (air recirculation, air
distribution, fan speed or switching off
the compressor), the word FULL will
disappear from the display, indicating
that the system is no longer
automatically controlling all the
functions (the temperature will still be
controlled automatically).
IMPORTANT Should the system (after
manual intervention) no longer be
able to guarantee the target
temperature for the passenger
compartment, the set temperature
value will start flashing to indicate the
difficulties the system is experiencing
and then the word AUTO will go out.
To restore system automatic control at
any time, after one or more manual
adjustments, press the AUTO button.
