Description Of The Controls; Air Temperature Adjustment; Operating Mode; Heated Rear Window - Fiat Ducato 2021 Owner's Handbook Manual

Description of the
controls
The automatic climate control system
maintains comfort inside the passenger
compartment and compensates for
possible variations in outside weather
conditions.
The reference temperature is 22°C for
optimal comfort management.
The automatically controlled
parameters and functions are:
air temperature at the driver/front
passenger side vents;
air distribution at the driver/front
passenger side vents;
fan speed (continuous variation of the
air flow);
compressor engagement (for
cooling/dehumidifying the air);
air recirculation.
All these functions can be adjusted
manually by operating the system and
selecting one or more functions and
modifying their parameters.
Manual selections always have higher
priority than automatic settings and
are stored until the AUTO button is
pressed, except for cases in which the
system intervenes for safety reasons.
The following operations do not
deactivate the AUTO function:
recirculation on/off;
compressor on/off, compatibly with
environmental conditions;
variation of set temperature;
heated rear window on/off (where
provided).
The quantity for air introduced into
the passenger compartment is
independent of the vehicle speed as
it is regulated by the electronically
controlled fan.
The temperature of the air sent 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 to be
set or adjusted manually:
air temperature;
fan speed has 7 positions;
air distribution;
compressor enabling;
rapid defrosting/ demisting function;
air recirculation;

heated rear window;

system deactivation.

Operating Mode

The climate control system can
be activated in different ways: it is
advisable to press the AUTO button (L)
and press the button (A) fig. 101 to set
the desired temperatures.
In this way the system operates
completely automatically to adjust the
temperature, quantity and distribution
of the air introduced into the passenger
compartment. It also manages the air
recirculation system and the enabling
the air conditioning compressor.
During automatic operation, you
can change the set temperatures,
activate/deactivate the heated
rear window (where provided),
activate/deactivate the compressor and
the recirculation at any time by using
the relevant buttons; the system will
automatically change the settings to
adjust to the new requirements.
In this way the climate control system
will continue to automatically manage
all functions except for those that have
been manually adjusted. The fan speed
is the same in all the zones of the
passenger compartment.
Air temperature
adjustment
Press the (A) fig. 101button:
press downwards: decrease
temperature;
press upwards: temperature rise.
By repeatedly pressing the (A) button
upwards or downwards the HI
(maximum air temperature) and LO
(minimum air temperature) functions are
switched on respectively. To turn these
functions off, ask for a numerical air
temperature.
