Automatic Operation - Alfa Romeo 159 Owner's Manual

AUTOMATIC OPERATION

(AUTO BUTTON)
Pressing button AUTO (front and rear
controls) the displays will show AUTO
and the system will automatically ad-
just:
❒ fan speed;
❒ air distribution in passenger com-
partment;
❒ air recirculation;
❒ compressor;
and it will cancel all the previous man-
ual adjustments.
Wording AUTO will disappear from the
display of the involved area (driver or
front passenger side or rear passenger
side) when performing whatever oper-
ation (excluding temperature change).
AUTO will also go off if the system (spe-
cially when compressor is turned off
manually) cannot reach or cannot keep
the required temperature.
WARNING
It is inadvisable to use
air recirculation
rainy/cold days as it would
considerably increase the pos-
sibility of windows misting up
inside.
FAN SPEED ADJUSTMENT
Press buttons +/– to increase or to de-
crease the fan speed.
The fan speed is shown by the lit bars on
the display:
❒ min fan speed = one bar lit;
❒ max fan speed = 6 bars lit;
on
At starting, if climate control system is
operating in automatic mode, the fan
speed is kept at minimum until the en-
gine has started.
With compressor on and engine running,
the fan speed cannot fall below the min.
speed.
The fan can be cut off (all bars off) on-
ly if the climate control compressor has
been switched off by pressing button
To restore automatic fan speed control
after a manual adjustment, press but-
tons AUTO.
