advisable to set the temperatures required on the  
display; then press button AUTO.  
Press button AUTO; the system will automatically  
adjust:  
air inlet in the passenger’s compartment;  
It is possible to personalise required temperatures  
(driver and passenger) with a maximum difference of  
7°C.  
air distribution in the passenger’s compartment;  
thus cancelling all the previous manual adjustments.  
The climate control system compressor works only  
with the engine running and outside temperature over  
4°C.  
When the climate control system is working  
automatically, FULL AUTO is displayed. It is possible  
to personalise the choices made automatically by the  
system intervening manually on the following controls:  
fan speed adjustment knob;  
air distribution selection button;  
inside air recirculation on/off ;  
climate control compressor button.  
It is inadvisable to use the inside air recirculation feature with low outside  
temperature as the windows might mist over quickly.

RECIRCULATION  
Press button  
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation system  
makes it possible to reach the required “heating” or  
“cooling” conditions faster. It is however inadvisable to  
use it on rainy/cold days as it would considerably  
increase the possibility of the windows misting inside,  
especially if the climate control system is off.  
It is advisable to turn on the inside air recirculation  
system in queues or tunnels to avoid admitting  
polluted air from outside. The prolonged use of this  
function should however be avoided, especially with  
several persons on board, to avoid the possibility of  
the windows misting inside.

Inside air recirculation is controlled by three operating

off with air inlet from outside) (T button led off;  
forced switching on (inside air recirculation always  
on with air inlet from outside)(T button led on).  
Pressing button OFF, the climate control system turns  
on automatically the inside air recirculation function  
(
