Air Temperature Adjustment Knob; Air Distribution Buttons - Fiat DOBLO 2016 Owner's Handbook Manual

During fully automatic operation (FULL
AUTO), the word FULL will disappear
if the air distribution and/or flow rate
and/or engagement of the compressor
and/or recirculation settings are
changed. In this way, the functions will
switch from automatic to manual
control until the AUTO button is
pressed again. With one or more
functions turned on manually,
the adjustment of the intake air
temperature continues to be managed
automatically, except with the
compressor switched off: if this is the
case, the temperature of the air sent
into the passenger compartment
cannot be lower than that of the
outside air.
CONTROLS
Air temperature adjustment knob (I)
Turn the knob either clockwise or
anticlockwise to increase or lower the
requested temperature in the
passenger compartment.
The set temperature is shown on the
display.
Turn the knob either fully to the right or
fully to the left to the extreme HI or
LO position to turn the maximum
heating or maximum cooling functions
on:
HI function (maximum heating):
select by turning the temperature knob
clockwise beyond the maximum value
(32°C).
This function may be used to heat up
the passenger compartment exploiting
the system potential to the maximum.
In this condition, the system stops
controlling the temperature
automatically and sets the air mixing to
maximum heating. The air speed and
distribution are fixed.
In particular, if the heating fluid is not
sufficiently hot, the maximum fan speed
does not come on straight away in
order to limit the intake of insufficiently
hot air to the passenger compartment.
All manual settings will be allowed when
this function is on.
To switch the function off, simply turn
the temperature knob anticlockwise
and set the required temperature.
LO function (maximum cooling):
select by turning the temperature knob
anticlockwise beyond the minimum
value (16°C).
This function may be used to cool
down the passenger compartment by
exploiting the system's potential to
the full. In this condition, the system
stops controlling the temperature
automatically and sets the air mixing to
maximum cooling. The air speed and
distribution are fixed. All manual
settings will be allowed when this
function is on.
To switch the function off, simply turn
the temperature knob clockwise and
set the required temperature.
Air distribution buttons (B)
By pressing these buttons, it is possible
to set one of the 5 possible air
distributions manually:
Air flow to the windscreen and
front side window vents to demist
or defrost them.
Air flow at central and side
dashboard vents to ventilate the
chest and the face during the hot
season.
Air flow to the front and rear
footwell vents. Thanks to the
natural tendency of hot air to rise,
this distribution pattern allows
the passenger compartment to
warm up as quickly as possible,
providing an immediate feeling of
warmth.
