To restore automatic control of compressor
engagement, press button C again or press the
AUTO button.
With compressor off:
❒ if the outside temperature is higher than the set
one, the climate control system will not be able
to satisfy the request. The temperature values will
then flash on the display for a few seconds to
indicate this;
❒ the fan speed can be reset manually.
With the compressor on and the engine running,
manual ventilation cannot be lower than the
minimum speed (only one LED lit).
IMPORTANT With the compressor off, air cannot
be introduced to the passenger compartment with a
temperature lower than the outside temperature.
Moreover, under certain environmental conditions,
windows could mist rapidly since the air is not
dehumidified.
RAPID WINDOW DEMISTING/
DEFROSTING (MAX-DEF function)
Press the
button to activate (LED on button on)
the windscreen and side window demisting/
defrosting function.
The climate control system carries out the following
operations:
❒ switches on the air conditioning compressor when
environmental conditions are suitable;
❒ switches air recirculation off;
❒ sets maximum air temperature (HI) in both zones;
❒ sets fan speed according to the engine coolant
temperature;
❒ directs air flow to windscreen and front side
windows diffusers;
❒ activates the heated rear window;
❒ activates the heated windscreen (for versions/
markets, where provided);
❒ displays the fan speed (LED G lit).
IMPORTANT The MAX-DEF function remains on for
about 3 minutes from when the engine coolant
reaches the appropriate temperature.
When the function is activated, the LED on the
AUTO button switches off. With the function
activated the only possible manual adjustments are
adjusting the fan speed and turning the heated rear
window off.
When the B, C, or AUTO buttons are pressed, the
climate control system will deactivate the MAX-DEF
function.
Selecting the footwell/windscreen or only windscreen
distribution activates the climate control system
compressor (LED on A/C button on) and the air
recirculation is set to "outside air" intake (LED on
button off).
This logic guarantees optimum visibility at the
windows. It is, however, always possible to manage
air recirculation and the climate control system
compressor manually.
