after the required comfort conditions
are achieved.
With Start&Stop function active (engine
off at zero car speed), the air flow rate
(if managed automatically) is reduced
in order to maintain the passenger
compartment comfort conditions for as
long as possible.

The heater only operates if the outside

These operate when the ignition key
is turned to MAR and for about three
minutes after turning the ignition key to
STOP or removing it.
The climate control system control
unit manages the decreased comfort
caused by stopping the engine, and
consequently the compressor, as far as
possible.
INTERACTION OF
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE
CONTROL WITH
START&STOP
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The electric window control buttons
are fig. 32 located beside the gear lever
and activate:
The operation of the climate control
system can in any case be favoured by
deactivating the Start&Stop function
using the dedicated button on the
dashboard.
(A) Opening/closing of the left window.
(B) Opening/closing of the right
window.
Automatic climate control system
The automatic climate control manages
the Start&Stop function (engine off
when the vehicle speed is zero) to
guarantee adequate comfort inside the
passenger compartment.
With the ignition key at MAR, a long
press activates the automatic operation
of the window: raising/lowering on the
driver's side and lowering only on the
passenger side.
NOTE In particularly severe climate
conditions it is recommended to limit
the use of the Start&Stop function
to prevent the compressor from
continuously switching on and off,
with consequent rapid misting of
the windows and accumulation of
humidity with unpleasant smells in the
passenger compartment.
In particular, when the weather is
extremely hot or cold, the Start&Stop
function is deactivated until adequate
passenger compartment comfort is
ensured. During these transitory stages
the engine is not stopped, even if the
car speed is zero.
When the Start&Stop function is active
(engine off at zero car speed), the
climate control system will request
the reactivation of the engine if the
inside temperature conditions rapidly
deteriorate (or if the user requests
maximum cooling - LO - or quick
demisting - MAX DEF).
