Description
The automatic dual zone climate control
system regulates the air temperature
and distribution in the passenger
compartment independently for the
driver and the passenger.
The system maintains comfort inside
the passenger compartment and
compensates for possible variations in
outside weather conditions.
NOTE The reference temperature
is 71.6°F (22°C) for optimal comfort
management.
The automatically controlled parameters
and functions are:
driver/front passenger side air
temperature to the side vents;
driver/front passenger side air
distribution to the 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 and
selecting one or more functions and
modifying their parameters.
Manual selections always have higher
priority than automatic settings and are
stored until the AUTO button is pressed,

except for cases in which the system
intervenes for safety reasons.
The following operations do not
deactivate the AUTO function:
recirculation on/off;
compressor activation/deactivation;
SYNC function activation;
heated rear window
activation/deactivation.
The temperature of the air sent is always
automatically controlled according to the
temperature set on the display (except
for when the system is off or in certain
conditions when the compressor is not
running).
The system allows the following to be set
or adjusted manually:
driver/ passenger side air
temperature;
fan speed (continuous variation);
driver and passenger air distribution to
7 positions;
compressor enabling;
rapid defrosting/ demisting function
air recirculation;
heated rear window;
system deactivation.
Climate control system operating
modes
The climate control system can be
activated in different ways: it is
advisable to press the AUTO button
and turn the knobs to set the desired
temperatures.
In this way the system operates
completely automatically to adjust the
temperature, quantity and distribution of
the air introduced into the passenger
compartment. It also manages the air
recirculation system and the enablement
of the air conditioning compressor.
During automatic operation, you
can change the set temperatures,
activate/deactivate the rear window
heater, activate the SYNC function,
activate/deactivate the compressor and
the recirculation at any time by using the
relevant buttons or knobs: the system
will automatically change the settings to
adjust to the new requirements.
