DESCRIPTION
The automatic dual zone climate control system
regulates the air temperatures in the passenger
compartment in two zones: driver side and
passenger side.
The system maintains comfort inside the passenger
compartment and compensates for possible
variations in external climate conditions.
The climate control system can recognise extremely
cold (or extremely hot) conditions in the passenger
compartment and consequently provide optimal
management of the system's capabilities.
Note 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, selecting one or more
functions and modifying their parameters.
Automatic control of the functions will be
suspended: the system will only override the settings
for safety reasons.
Manual selections always take priority over automatic
ones and are stored until the AUTO button is
pressed or the system itself intervenes for specific
safety reasons.
