4-SEATER BENCH SEAT
(Crew Cab Van versions)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
For specific versions, the vehicle
features a 4-seater rear bench seat.
The bench seat is equipped with a
bottle holder A fig. 35 on the side.
the seat can be manually folded to
allow access to the load compartment
fig. 36.
WARNING
6) All adjustments must be made
with the vehicle stationary.
7) After releasing the adjustment
lever, always check that the seat
is locked on the guides by trying
to move it back and forth. If it
is not locked, the seat may move
unexpectedly and make you lose
control of the vehicle.
8) For maximum safety, keep the
back of your seat upright, lean
back into it and make sure the
seat belt fits closely across your
chest and pelvis.
9) Before putting on the front seat
belts, make sure that the
armrests are in vertical position
(see "Seat belts" paragraph).
10) Before unfastening the belts and
getting out of the vehicle, ensure
that the outer armrest (door side)
is fully raised.
11) All adjustments must be made
with the vehicle stationary. In
particular, while turning the seat,
take care that it does not interfere
with the handbrake lever.12) Ensure the seat is locked in the
driving position before starting up
the vehicle.
13) Do not place heavy loads on the
flap with the vehicle in motion
because they could be thrown
against the vehicle occupants in
the event of sudden braking or
impacts, causing severe injury.
14) Do not travel with passengers
seated in the 3rd row with the
2nd row bench folded over. Do not
place objects of any type on the
backrest of the 2nd row bench
folded over: in the event of impact
or sharp braking they could be
thrown against the occupants of
the vehicle casing serious injury.
For more information, see the
contents of the adhesive plate
located under the bench.
15) When refitting the bench, ensure
that it is correctly locked to the
floor guides.

SYSTEM SERVICING
In winter, the climate control system
must be turned on at least once a
month for about 10 minutes. Before
summer, have the system checked at a
Fiat Dealership.
NoteThe system uses R134a coolant
which does not pollute the environment
in the event of accidental leakage.
Never use R12 fluid, which is not
compatible with the system
components.
AUTOMATIC
CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM(for versions/markets, where provided)
GENERAL INFORMATION
The automatic climate control system
adjusts the temperature, the quantity
and the distribution of the air in the
passenger compartment.
The temperature control is based on
the "equivalent temperature": in other
words, the system continuously works
to keep the comfort level inside the
vehicle constant and to compensate for
possible variations in outside
conditions, including the sun's rays
detected by a dedicated sensor.
The automatically controlled
parameters and functions are:
❒air temperature at the vents;
❒air distribution at the vents;
❒fan speed (continuous variation of the
air flow);
❒compressor activation (for cooling/
dehumidifying the air);
❒air recirculation.All functions may be changed manually.
In other words, you may select one or
more functions and change the
parameters as required. Automatic
control of the manually changed
functions will be suspended: the
system will override your settings only
for safety-related reasons (e.g. risk
of misting).
Manual selections will always take
priority over automatic settings and will
be stored until the user switches the
system back to automatic operation by
pressing the AUTO button again except
for the cases in which the system will
intervene for particular, safety-related
reasons.
You can adjust one function manually
without affecting the automatic control
of the others.
The temperature of the air sent is
always controlled automatically,
depending on the temperature set in
the display (except when the system is
off or in certain conditions when the
compressor is switched off).
33

The system allows the following
parameters and functions to be set or
altered manually: air temperature,
fan speed (continuous variation); air
distribution in seven positions;
compressor enablement; fast
defrosting/demisting function; air
recirculation; switching off the system;
CONTROLSAAUTO button automatic control of all
functions.BAir distribution selection button.CDisplay.DMAX DEF function control button.ESystem off button.FCompressor enabling/disabling
control button.GAir recirculation control button.HFan speed increase/decrease control

control knob.USING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
The system can be started in different
ways, but it is advisable to start by
pressing the AUTO button and then
turning the knob to set the temperature
required on the display. The system
will start running automatically in this
way and the set temperature will be
reached as quickly as possible. The
system will adjust the temperature, the
quantity and the distribution of the air
sent into the passenger compartment
and, by managing the recirculation
function, the activation of the
compressor. During fully automatic
operation, the only manual intervention
required is the possible activation of
the following functions:
❒
air recirculation, to keep the
function always either on or off;❒
to speed up demisting/defrosting
of windscreen, rear window and
external rear view mirrors.
During fully automatic system
operation, you can change the set
temperature, air distribution and fan
speed at any time by using the relevant
buttons or knobs: the system will
automatically change its settings to
adjust to the new requirements. During
fully automatic operation (FULL AUTO),
the word FULL will disappear if the air
distribution and/or flow rate and/or
engagement of the compressor and/or
recirculation settings are changed. In
this way, the functions will switch from
automatic to manual control until the
AUTO button is pressed again. With
one or more functions turned on
manually, the adjustment of the intake
air temperature continues to be
managed automatically, except with the
compressor switched off: if this is the
case, the temperature of the air sent
into the passenger compartment
cannot be lower than that of the
outside air.
