Automatic Two-Zone Climate Control System - Alfa Romeo Brera Owner's Manual

AUTOMATIC
TWO-ZONE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
DESCRIPTION
The car is fitted with a two-zone climate
control system which makes it possible
to separately adjust the air temperature
in the two passenger's compartment ar-
eas to reach the required comfort.
To obtain top control of both zones, the
system is fitted with outside temperature
sensor, passenger's compartment tem-
perature sensor and bilateral sun radia-
tion sensor.
The climate control system automatically
controls and adjusts the following pa-
rameters and functions:
❒ air temperature at driver/passengers
vents;
❒ fan speed;
❒ air distribution at driver/passenger
vents;
❒ compressor activation;
❒ air recirculation.
54
The following parameters and functions
can be set or changed manually:
❒ required temperature;
❒ fan speed;
❒ air distribution on seven levels;
❒ compressor on/off;
❒ window demisting/defrosting;
❒ air recirculation.
The system is fitted with AQS (Air Qual-
ity System) sensor (where provided),
that turns on air recirculation automati-
cally when it detects the presence of out-
side polluted air (for example in queues
and tunnels).
Where provided, the system is integrat-
ed with an anti-misting sensor A-fig. 42
set behind the driving mirror, capable of
"monitoring" a preset internal area of the
windscreen and of intervening automat-
ically to prevent or to reduce window mist-
ing up, through a proper strategy. This
sensor can be deactivated through any
manual system control when the strate-
gy is operating. The sensor is enabled at
each start-up and in any case when the
user presses one of the AUTO buttons.

To guarantee perfect
and regular sensor op-
eration do not apply
stickers in the "monitoring"
area between sensor and wind-
screen. Keep windscreen and
sensor clean and avoid to accu-
mulate dust or other sub-
stances.
