DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS
The climate control system automatically
controls and adjusts the following para-
meters and functions:
❒ air temperature at driver/front pas-
senger/rear passenger vents;
❒ air distribution at driver/front passen-
ger vents;
❒ fan speed (continuous air flow varia-
tion);
❒ compressor activation (to cool/dehu-
midify air);
❒ air recirculation.
All the above functions can be changed
manually by selecting the required func-
tion/s and by changing the set parameters.
In this way the automatic control is de-
activated; the system will resume auto-
matic control only for safety reasons (e.g.
risk of window misting up).
Manual selections prevail over automatic
ones and remain in storage until the user
decides to resume automatic control by
pressing the proper button, except when
the system cuts in for particular safety
conditions.
The control of functions not changed man-
ually remains automatic.
The amount of air admitted to the pas-
senger compartment does not depend on
the car speed, since it is electronically con-
trolled by the fan.
The temperature of the air admitted to
the passenger compartment is always con-
trolled automatically according to the tem-
peratures set on the driver’s and front
passenger’s display (except when the sys-
tem is off or under certain conditions
when the compressor is off).
The following parameters and functions
can be set or changed manually:
❒ air temperatures on driver/front pas-
senger side;
❒ fan speed (continuous variation);
❒ air distribution on seven levels (dri-
ver/front passenger side);
❒ climate control compressor on/off;
❒ monozone/two-zone distribution pri-
ority;
❒ fast demisting/defrosting;
❒ air recirculation;
❒ rear heated window.
