INSIDE AIR RE-CIRCULATION
ON/OFF BUTTON (fig. 107)
Inside air re-circulartion is controlled
according to three operating logics:
- automatic control, indicated by the
turning on of the right led on the button;
- forced engagement (inside air re-circu-
lation always on), indicated by the turning
on of the left led on the button (and by
the right led going off at the same time);
- forced switching off (inside air re-circu-
lation always off with air inlet from out-
side), indicated by the turning off of both
leds.
These operating conditions are obtained
pressing in sequence the inside air re-cir-
culation button (8) v .
When inside air re-circulation is con-
trolled automatically by the system, the
right led on the air re-circulation button
(8) v stays on all the time and the left
led shows the air re-circulation condition:
on = air re-circulation operating;
off = air re-circulation off.
If inside air re-circulation has been turned
on or off manually, the led on button
(13) turns off.
AUTO
fig. 107
In automatic operation , inside air re-cir-
culation is turned automatically when the
antipollution sensor detects the presence
of polluted air, for example in cities,
queues, tunnels and operation of the
windscreen washer (with the typical smell
of spirits).
With low external tem-
perature the climate con-
trol compressor is unable
to work. It is therefore inadvisable
to use the inside air recirculation
function v with low outside tem-
perature as windows may mist
over quickly.
The inside air- re-circula-
tion system makes it pos-
sible to reach the required
"heating" or "cooling" conditions
faster. It is however inadvisable to
use it on rainy/cold days as it
would considerably increase the
possibility of the windows misting
inside, especially if the climate con-
trol system is off.
