Depending on thetemperature set by
the user, the automatic climate control
system automatically regulates the
temperature, flow and distribution of
the passenger compartment air, as
well as the recirculation function. These
settings can be changed by the user,
putting the climatecontrol system in
manual mode (theLED on the AUTO1
fig. 31 button turnsoff).
(1) AUTO button: automatic climate
control function on
(2) Button: climate control system
compressor on oroff. The LED on the
button is on whenthe compressor is
turned on.
(3) OFF button: turns the climate
control system off
(4) Button: air recirculation
on or off. It is inadvisable to use
air recirculation when the outside
temperature is low, since the windows
could mist rapidly.
(5) Buttons: temperature
setting. Pressing the
button
increases the passenger compartment
temperature, pressing the
button
decreases it. If theheating fluid
temperature is notsufficiently high, the
maximum fan speed does not come
on straight away inorder to limit the
intake of insufficiently hot air into the
passenger compartment.
(6) Buttons: fan speed
adjustment. Pressing the
button
increases the passenger compartment
air flow, pressing the
button
decreases it.
(7) Button: directs air flow to the
windscreen and front side window
vents to demist ordefrost them.
(8) Button: directs air flow to the
central and side dashboard vents to
ventilate the bodyand face during the
hot season.
(9) Button: directs air flow to the
front seat feet areavents. Due to the
natural tendencyof heat to spread
upwards, this typeof distribution
warms the passenger compartment
up as quickly as possible, providing an
immediate feeling ofwarmth.
(10) Button: heated rear window
demisting/defrosting.
WARNING Do notapply stickers on
the inside of the rear window over the
heating filaments toavoid damage.
(11) Button: front window fast
demisting/defrosting. The function
remains active for approximately 3
minutes after the coolant temperature
exceeds 50°C.
WARNING In warm-humid weather
conditions, using cold air on the
windscreen may cause external
condensation, which could limit
visibility.
