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
control compressor is off.
To prevent the windows from misting
up, the recirculation is forced off (i.e. air
is drawn in from the outside) when
the outside temperature is cold.
It is advisable not to use the air
recirculation function when the outside
temperature is low to prevent the
windows from rapidly misting up.
Climate control compressor
enablement/off button (F)
Press button
to switch the climate
control compressor off (if on). The icon
on the display will go out.
Press the button when the LED is off to
automatically restore system control
and use of the compressor. The icon
will light up in the display in this case.
The system will switch recirculation
off when the compressor is switched off
to prevent windows from misting up.
Although the system is capable of
maintaining the required temperature,
the word FULL will disappear from
the display. If, on the other hand, it is no
longer capable of maintaining the
temperature, the letters flash and the
word AUTO goes out.
IMPORTANT With the compressor off, it
is not possible to introduce air cooler
than ambient temperature into the
passenger compartment. Furthermore,
in certain conditions, the windows
could mist up rapidly because the air is
not dehumidified.
The system remembers that the
compressor has been switched off,
even after the engine has stopped.
To restore automatic compressor
control, press the
button again (in
this case, the system will only work as a
heater) or press the AUTO button.
With the compressor switched off, if the
outside temperature is higher than the
one set, the system is not capable
of satisfying this request and signals it
by the digits for the temperature setting
flashing after which the word AUTO
goes out.
With the climate control compressor
off, the fan speed can be set to zero
manually (no bar shown).
With the compressor enabled and the
engine started, the fan speed may
be reduced to the minimum setting
(only one bar shown).
Button for rapid window demisting/
defrosting (D)
Pressing this button, the climate control
system will automatically switch on all
the functions required for fast
windscreen and front side window
demisting/defrosting:
switches on climate control
compressor when climatic conditions
are suitable;
sets air recirculation off;
sets maximum air temperature HI in
both areas;
sets the fan speed according to the
engine coolant temperature to limit
the flow of air that is not sufficiently
warm to demist the windows;
directs air flow to windscreen and
front side windows vents;
sets heated rear window on.
IMPORTANT The rapid demisting/
defrosting function for the windows
remains on for about 3 minutes from
when the engine coolant reaches the
appropriate temperature for a rapid
demisting of the windows.
When this function is active, the LED on
the corresponding button and the one
on the heated rear window button
switch on. The message FULL AUTO
goes off on the display.
