AUTOMATIC OPERATION

(AUTO BUTTON)
Pressing button AUTO (front and rear
controls) the displays will show FULL AU-
TO and the system will automatically ad-
just:
❒ fan speed;
❒ air distribution in passenger com-
partment;
❒ air recirculation;
❒ compressor;
and it will cancel all the previous man-
ual adjustments.
Wording FULL will disappear from the
display of the involved area (driver or
front passenger side or rear passenger
side) when performing whatever oper-
ation (excluding temperature change).
AUTO will also go off if the system (spe-
cially when compressor is turned off
manually) cannot reach or cannot keep
the required temperature.
√
Button will not turn off AUTO if the

sibility of windows misting up
inside.
