Automatic Two-Zone Climate Control System - Lancia Musa Owner's Handbook Manual

AUTOMATIC TWO-
ZONE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
GENERAL INFORMATION
The two-zone automatic climate con-
trol system distributes air in the pas-
senger compartment in two zones:
driver's and passenger's side. Tem-
perature is controlled on the basis of
an "equivalent temperature" princi-
ple; in other words, the system con-
tinuously works to keep the comfort
level inside the car constant and to
compensate for possible variations of
external conditions, including sun ra-
diation detected by a specific sensor.
The automatically controlled para-
meters and functions are:
❒ air temperature at the vents on dri-
ver/front passenger side;
❒ air at vents on driver/front passen-
ger side;
❒ fan speed (continuous air flow vari-
ation);
52
❒ compressor activation (to cool/
dehumidify air);
❒ air recirculation.
All functions may be manually
changed. In order words, you may se-
lect one or more functions and change
the parameters as required. Auto-
matic control of the manually
changed functions will be suspended:
the system will change override your
settings only for safety related reasons
(e.g. risk of misting up).
Manual selections will always have
higher priority over automatic settings
and will be stored until the user
switches the system back to automatic
mode, except for the cases in which
the system will intervene for particu-
lar, safety-related reasons.
You can adjust one function automat-
ically and have the automatic system
control all the others.
The amount of air introduced into the
passenger compartment is indepen-
dent from speed of the car because the
fan is controlled by the electronic sys-
tem.
The temperature of the air taken in is
always controlled automatically de-
pending on the temperature set on the
display (except when the system is
turned off or under certain conditions
when the compressor is off. The fol-
lowing parameters and functions can
be manually set:
❒ air temperature on driver/front
passenger side;
❒ fan speed (continuous variation);
❒ air distribution to five positions
(driver/front passenger side);
❒ compressor on;
❒ one-zone/two-zone distribution
priority;
❒ fast demist/defrost function;
❒ air recirculation;
❒ heated rear window;
❒ system off.
