DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS
During fully automatic operation, the on-
ly manual settings required are the fol-
lowing:
❒ MONO, to align the air temperature
and distribution set on the passenger’s
side (front or rear) with that on the
driver’s side;
❒ ï , air recirculation, to keep it always
on or off;
❒ -, to speed up demisting/defrosting
of windscreen, front side windows,
rear window and door mirrors;
❒ (, to demist/defrost heated rear win-
dow and door mirrors.
During full automatic system operation,
you can change at any time set tempera-
tures, air distribution and fan speed by us-
ing the relevant buttons or knobs: the sys-
tem will automatically change its settings
to adjust to the new requirements. Dur-
ing FULL AUTO operation, changing air
distribution and/or flow and/or compres-
sor activation and/or air recirculation will
make the FULL wording disappear. In this
way functions will pass from automatic
control to manual control until pressing
again the AUTO button. Fan speed is the
same for every area of the passenger com-
partment.
With one or more functions engaged man-
ually, the adjustment of the temperature
of the air admitted to the passenger com-
partment continues to be controlled au-
tomatically by the system, except with the
climate control compressor off: under this
condition in fact, the temperature of the
air admitted to the passenger compart-
ment cannot be lower than outside air
temperature.
CONTROLS
Air temperature adjusting
knobs P-G
Turning the knobs clockwise or counter-
clockwise, respectively highers or lowers
the temperature of the air required re-
spectively in the front left zone (knob P)
or in the right zone (knob G) of the pas-
senger compartment.
Since the system controls two zones of
the passenger compartment, it is possi-
ble to personalise required temperatures
(driver and passenger).
The temperatures set are shown on the
displays near the relevant knobs.
Pressing button I (MONO ) automatical-
ly aligns the temperature on the passen-
ger’s side with that on the driver’s side;
you can therefore set the same tempera-
ture for both zones by turning knob P on
driver side.
Separate operation of air temperatures
and distribution is restored by turning
knobs or pressing again button I
(MONO) when the button led is on.
