NOTE:
Bi-Level mode is designed to let cooler
air come in the dashboard and rear
part of the central console vents and
warmer air from the floor vents.
• "Floor" mode
Air for each zone flows from the
fixed front vents, located under the
dashboard, and under the front seats
for the rear passengers. A small
portion of the airflow is directed
through the defrost/demist vents to
prevent windows fogging.
• "Mix" mode
Air for each zone flows from the
defrost/demist vent, the fixed vent
under the dashboard and which from
floor vent described in "Floor" mode.
This mode is recommended for cold
climates, to improve comfort and
prevent windows fogging.
• "Defrost" mode
Air for each zone flows from the
dashboard defrost/demist vents to
prevent windows fogging.

14. "SYNC" mode
Touch the "SYNC" soft-key on the MIA
to switch the Sync function on/off.
The "SYNC" soft-key illuminates when
this function is selected. This function
is used to synchronise the passenger
temperature setting with the driver
temperature setting.
It is possible to activate this function
even when MIA is in any category
other then "Comfort" through the
pop up window that opens when
you touch the driver's temperature
soft-key on the upper status bar.
Changing the passenger temperature
setting while in "SYNC" will
automatically exit this function.
Climate Control Functions
Air Conditioning (A/C)
The "A/C" soft-key allows to manually
activate or deactivate the air
conditioning system. When the air
conditioning system is turned on, cool
dehumidified air will flow through the
vents into the cabin. For improved fuel
economy, touch the "A/C" soft-key
to turn off the air conditioning and
Dashboard Instruments and Controls
manually adjust the blower and
airflow mode settings.
When the A/C and automatic functions
are switched off it is not possible to
have air at a lower temperature than
the outside.
Recirculation and Air Quality
Sensor (AQS)
When outside air contains smoke,
odours, or high humidity, or if rapid
cooling is desired, you may wish to
recirculate interior air by pressing the
recirculation control button or the
relevant soft-key button to activate
the two different functionalities.
The recirculation function, that allows
to open/close the A/C air inlet by
operating the
climate control panel or the MIA soft
key, is integrated with the Air Quality
Sensor.
This sensor, positioned upstream of
the A/C filter, in front of the air intake
of the A/C system, detects the presence
of polluting substances and submits an
electric signal to the A/C control unit,
that closes the intake of the external
air by activating the air recirculation.
The button or the MIA soft-key
can therefore enable 3 operating
modes, switchable in sequence:
"Auto", "Manual" and "Open".
