DESCRIPTION OF THE
CONTROLS
The automatic climate control system
maintains comfort inside the passenger
compartment and compensates for
possible variations in outside weather
conditions.
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 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 (2) fig. 82
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 on/off, compatibly with
environmental conditions
variation of set temperature
heated rear window
activation/deactivation
The amount of air introduced into
the passenger compartment is not
affected by car speed; it is electronically
controlled by a fan.
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:
air temperature
fan speed has 8 positions
air distribution
compressor enabling
rapid defrosting/ demisting function
air recirculation
heated rear window
system deactivation
OPERATING MODE
The climate control system can be
activated in different ways: it is
advisable to press the AUTO button and
press the button (1) fig. 82 to set the
desired temperature.
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 enabling
the air conditioning compressor.
During automatic operation, you
can change the set temperatures,
activate/deactivate the rear window,
activate/deactivate the compressor and
the recirculation at any time by using
the relevant buttons; the system will
automatically change the settings to
adjust to the new requirements.
In this way the climate control system
will continue to automatically manage all
functions except for those that have been
manually adjusted. The fan speed is the
same in all the zones of the passenger
compartment.
AIR TEMPERATURE
ADJUSTMENT
Press the (1) fig. 82 button:
press downwards: decrease
temperature
press upwards: temperature rise
By repeatedly pressing the (1) buttons
upwards or downwards the HI (maximum
air temperature) and LO (minimum air
temperature) functions are switched on
respectively.
AIR DISTRIBUTION SELECTION
You can manually set one of the
following air distributions by pressing
the (5) fig. 82 button on the dashboard.
Through the Uconnect™ 10.25"/10.25"
NAV system display (3) fig. 83 can be
selected:
Airflow at central and side dashboard
vents to ventilate the chest during the
hot season.
