Air distribution
Knob D-fig. 72 directs the air inside the passenger compartment according to five levels:
conveys the air to the central and
side vents directly to the body (face/chest);
conveys warmer air to the lower vents
and cooler air to the central vents and dashboard vents (bilevel);
exploits the characteristic of warm
air to move upwards ensuring a faster warming of the passenger compartment;
ensures good passenger compartment
warming and prevents misting up at the same time;
all the air is conveyed to the windscreen
and front side windows for demisting and defrosting.
The distribution levels are graphically illustrated in the following figures.
Heating
1) Air temperature knob C: pointer in the red sector.
2) Fan knob A: pointer at the required speed.
3) Air distribution knob D: pointer at
to warm the feet and demist the windscreen
at the same time;
to convey air to the feet and cooler

1) Air temperature knob A: pointer at
in the red sector.
2) Fan knob B: pointer at top speed 4.
3) Air distribution knob D: pointer at.
4) Slider B at
After demisting and/or defrosting, operate the controls to restore the required comfort.
To prevent misting up:
IMPORTANT
If the outside air is very damp, if it is raining and/or if there is a considerable difference between temperature inside and outside the vehicle, prevent the windows from misting up as follows:
– slider B at ;
– air temperature knob C: pointer at
in the red sector;
– fan knob A at second speed or faster, pointer at 2;
– air distribution knob D: pointer at
; switch to
if the windows start misting up.
If the vehicle has a climate control system, you are recommended to adjust the controls as described above and press button A-fig. 78 to speed up the demisting process.

Recirculation
With the slider B at the internal
air is recalculated.
IMPORTANT
This function is particularly useful when the outside air is heavily polluted (in a traffic jam, tunnel, etc.) and when running on dusty roads. You are advised against using this function for long periods, however, especially if there are a lot of people in the vehicle or on cold or rainy days since the windows could mist up effecting visibility and driving.
