Climate control
compressor
enablement/off button
(F)
Press button
to switch the climate
control compressor off (if on). The
icon on the display will go out.
Press the button when the LED is off
to automatically restore system
control and use of the compressor.
The icon will light up in the display in
this case.
The system will switch recirculation
off when the compressor is
switched off to prevent windows
from misting up. Although the
system is capable of maintaining the
required temperature, the word
FULL will disappear from the display.
If, on the other hand, it is no longer
capable of maintaining the
temperature, the letters flash and
the word AUTO goes out.
IMPORTANT With the compressor
off, it is not possible to introduce air
cooler than ambient temperature
into the passenger compartment.
Furthermore, in certain conditions,
the windows could mist up rapidly
because the air is not dehumidified.
The system remembers that the
compressor has been switched off,
even after the engine has stopped.
To restore automatic compressor
control, press the
button again (in
this case, the system will only work
as a heater) or press the AUTO
button.
With the compressor switched off, if
the outside temperature is higher
than the one set, the system is not
capable of satisfying this request
and signals it by the digits for the
temperature setting flashing after
which the word AUTO goes out.
With the climate control compressor
off, the fan speed can be set to
zero manually (no bar shown).
With the compressor enabled and
the engine started, the fan speed
may be reduced to the minimum
setting (only one bar shown).
Button for rapid
window demisting/
defrosting (D)
Pressing this button, the climate
control system will automatically
switch on all the functions required
for fast windscreen and front side
window demisting/defrosting:
❒ switches on climate control
compressor when climatic conditions
are suitable;
❒ sets air recirculation off;
❒ sets maximum air temperature HI in
both areas;
❒ sets the fan speed according to the
engine coolant temperature to limit
the flow of air that is not sufficiently
warm to demist the windows;
❒ directs air flow to windscreen and
front side windows vents;
❒ sets heated rear window on.
IMPORTANT The rapid demisting/
defrosting function for the windows
remains on for about 3 minutes from
when the engine coolant reaches
the appropriate temperature for
a rapid demisting of the windows.
