Front air distribution selection
buttons I-M
Pressing the relevant buttons it is pos-
sible to manually choose one of the
five possible air distributions to the
left and right side of the passenger
compartment:
▲
Air flow to the windscreen and
front side window vents to demist
or defrost them.
˙
Air flow to dashboard central
and side vents to provide satis-
factory ventilation to the chest
and face, specially during the
summer.
▼
Air flow towards lower parts of
the passenger compartment. Due
to the natural tendency of heat to
spread upwards, this type of dis-
tribution allows heating of the
passenger compartment in the
shortest time, also giving a
prompt feeling of warmth to the
coldest parts of the body.
˙
Splitting of the air flow between
▼
the vents to the lower part of the
passenger compartment (warmest
air) and the dashboard centre
and side outlets (coolest air).
This air flow distribution is par-
ticularly useful in spring and au-
tumn, when the sun is shining.

▲
Splitting of the air flow between
▼
the lower part of the passenger
compartment and the wind-
screen and front side window
demisting/defrosting vents. This
type of air distribution allows
satisfactory heating of the pas-
senger compartment while pre-
venting possible misting of the
windows.
Set air flow distribution is indicated
by the corresponding button led
switching on.
With a combined function set, press-
ing a button will turn on the main
function of the button pressed, to-
gether with the functions set yet.
Pressing the button of the active func-
tion will turn the function off (led off).
To restore automatic air distribution
control after a manual selection, press
button AUTO.
When the driver selects air distribu-
tion towards the windscreen, also the
air distribution on passenger's side
will automatically be directed to the
windscreen. The passenger can how-
ever select a different air distribution
by pressing the relevant buttons.
Fan speed adjustment buttons L
Pressing button p increases or de-
creases the fan speed and therefore
the amount of air admitted to the pas-
senger compartment, although keep-
ing the required temperature.
The fan speed is shown by the lit bars
on the display
❒ max fan speed = all bars lit
❒ min fan speed = one bar lit
The fan can be cut off only if the cli-
mate control compressor has been
switched off pressing button B.
IMPORTANT To restore automatic
fan speed control after a manual ad-
justment, press button AUTO.
