12 - Button for manual switching
on/off the air recirculation function.
13 - Button for switching on/off the
climate control system compressor
(where fitted).
14 - Button for aligning the set tem-
peratures on passenger and driver's
side.
15 - Button for selecting automatic
system operation.
16 - Button for switching the system
off.
The cooling system (whe-
re fitted) uses R134a re-
frigerating fluid as it will
not pollute the environment if it
accidentally leaks. Under no cir-
cumstances should other fluids be
used which are incompatible with
the system components.

GENERAL
The car is equipped with a double
climate control system governed by
an electronic control unit which sep-
arately adjusts the temperature on
driver's and passenger's side.
For optimal control of temperature
in the two areas of the passenger
compartment, the system is equipped
with a double sun ray sensor.
The system features a pollution sen-
sor which can automatically switch
the air recirculation function on to re-
duce the unpleasant effects of pol-
luted air in cities, queues, tunnels and
when the windscreen washer is oper-
ated (with the characteristic smell of
alcohol).
The air quality is controlled by an
active carbon dust/pollen filter which
has the double function of mechani-
cally filtering the particles dispersed
in the air and attenuating the peak
accumulation of certain pollutants.
The climate control system auto-
matically controls and adjusts the fol-
lowing parameters and functions:
– temperature of air let into the pas-
senger compartment (separately on
driver's and passenger's side)
– fan speed (continuous variation)
– air distribution
– recirculation on/off
– climate control system compressor
on/off (where fitted).
The amount of air let into the pas-
senger compartment does not depend
on the speed of the car. It is in fact
adjusted by an electronically con-
trolled fan.
The following settings can be ad-
justed manually:
– fan speed (continuous variation)
– air distribution
– recirculation on/off
– climate control system compressor
on/off (where fitted).
