INDEX
The intake air temperature is always automatically controlled
according to the temperature set on the display (except for
when the system is off or in certain conditions when the
compressor is not running).
The system allows the following parameters and functions
to be set or altered manually: air temperature, fan speed
(continuous variation); air distribution in seven positions;
compressor enablement, fast defrosting/demisting func-
tion; air recirculation; switching off of the system;

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL
(for versions/markets, where provided)
GENERAL INFORMATION
The automatic climate control system adjusts the tempera-
ture, the quantity and the distribution of the air in the pas-
senger compartment. The temperature control is based on
the “equivalent temperature”: in other words, the system
continuously works to keep the comfort level inside the ve-
hicle constant and to compensate for possible variations in
outside conditions, including the sun’s rays detected by a ded-
icated sensor. The automatically controlled parameters and
functions are:
❒
air temperature at the vents;
❒
air distribution at the vents;
❒
fan speed
(continuous air flow variation);
❒
compressor activation (to cool/dehumidify the air);
❒
air recirculation.
All functions may be changed manually. In other words, you
may select one or more functions and change the parame-
ters as required. Automatic control of the manually changed
functions will be suspended: the system will only override
your settings for safety related reasons (e.g. risk of misting
up). Manual selections will always take priority over auto-
matic settings and will be stored until the user switches the
system back to automatic operation by pressing the AUTO
button again expect for the cases in which the system will
intervene for particular, safety-related reasons. You can ad-
just one function manually without affecting the automatic
control of the others.
