The system remembers that the compressor has been
switched off, even after the engine has stopped.
When the compressor is switched off, the system deacti-
vates air recirculation to prevent the windows from
misting up.
Pushing the A/C button will stop the AUTO MODE (the
AUTO LED will switch off). To restore automatic control
of compressor engagement, push the AUTO button
again.
NOTE: With the compressor off, air cannot be introduced
to the passenger compartment with a temperature lower
than the outside temperature. Moreover, under certain
environmental conditions, windows could mist rapidly
since the air is not dehumidified.
Rapid Window Demisting (MAX-DEF function)
Push the MAX-DEF button to activate (LED on button
on) the windshield and side window demisting function.

• switches on the air conditioning compressor when

• switches air recirculation off;
• sets fan speed according to the engine coolant tem-
perature;
• directs air flow to windshield and front side window
diffusers;
• activates the heated rear window;
