AUTO – button (A) Automatic climate control
system function engagement.
Pressing the
AUTO
button and setting the required tem-
perature, the system adjusts air temperature, quantity and
distribution into the passenger compartment and controls
the compressor operation.
Button
√
– B Compressor on/off
Pressing the button, with LED on, the compressor and the
LED switch off.
Pressing the button when the LED is off, the automatic
system is restored, activating the compressor and turn-
ing the button LED on.
When the compressor is off:
❒
the system will deactivate air recirculation to prevent
window misting up;
AIR CONDITIONS CONTROL
SYSTEM(for versions/markets where provided)
The automatic climate control system automatically reg-
ulates the following depending on the temperature set
by the user:❒
the temperature of the air conveyed to the passenger
compartment;
❒
fan speed (continuous air flow variation);
❒
air distribution inside the passenger compartment;
❒
compressor activation/deactivation (to cool/
dehumidify air);
❒
air recirculation on/off.
The system continuously processes different parameters to
keep constant the comfort inside the passenger compartment
and to compensate for any variation of the outside climate
conditions.All the above functions can be changed manually by se-
lecting the required function/s. Manual setting of a func-
tion does not impair the automatic control of the other
functions even if the
AUTO
button LED is off. Manual se-
lections will always prevail over automatic settings and will
be stored until the user switches the system back to au-
tomatic mode pressing the AUTO
button, except for
the cases in which the system will intervene for particular,
safety-related reasons.

Air recirculation on/off
It is advisable to switch the internal air recirculation on
while standing in queues or in tunnels to prevent the in-
troduction of polluted air.
Led on button ON = recirculation ON.
Led on button OFF = recirculation OFF.
At low temperatures or if the compressor is off, the re-
circulation is forced to off to avoid misting.
IMPORTANT It is inadvisable to use air recirculation on
cold days as it would considerably increase the possibility
of windows misting up inside.
During
AUTO
operation, due to safety reasons and to refresh
air flow, after long recirculation activation (over 25 minutes)
the system will deactivate automatically air recirculation for
1 minute.
Buttons
ÕÔ
– E
Temperature setting
Pressing the button
Õ
the temperature in the passen-
ger compartment will rise until the value HI is reached
(maximum heating).
Pressing the button
Ô
the temperature in the passenger
compartment will decrease until the value LO is reached
(maximum cooling).
HI function
This function can be switched on to heat the passenger
compartment as quickly as possible; air distribution and fan
speed are controlled by the system.
To turn this function off, set the required temperature.
❒
it is not possible to convey air to the passenger com-
partment with a temperature below the outside tem-
perature (the displayed temperature value will flash
when the system cannot guarantee the required com-
fort conditions);
❒
the fan speed can be manually reset (with compressor
enabled, ventilation cannot go below a bar shown on
the display).
Button OFF – C
System switching off
Pressing the
OFF
button the system is switched off.
With the system off, the climate control system conditions
are as follows:
❒
all LEDs off;
❒
set temperature display off;
❒
air recirculation off;
❒
compressor off;
❒
fan off.
Under this condition, air recirculation can be turned on
or off without activating the system.
IMPORTANT The system will store the settings (except
recirculation) performed before turning off and will re-
sume them when pressing any button (if the function cor-
responding to the button pressed is off, it will be turned
on; if on it will be kept active). Press
AUTO
to start the
system automatically.

air flow towards the front seat feet area. Due to the
natural tendency of heat to spread upwards, this type
of distribution warms the passenger compartment
up as quickly as possible, providing an immediate
feeling of warmth.
w+μ
distribution between feet area vents (warmest air)
and dashboard vents (coolest air).
¥+μ
distribution between feet area vents and wind-
screen/side front window vents. This type of distri-
bution achieves an adequate warming of the pas-
senger compartment and prevents the windows
from misting up.
The set air distribution is shown by the LEDs on the
selected buttons.
To restore the automatic air distribution control, press
the AUTO button.
During automatic operation, under particular climate con-
ditions, the system can send air to the windscreen although
the relevant LED does not turn on.

the system activates all the functions
required for fast demisting/defrosting, that is:
❒
compressor switching-on (if the weather conditions are
suitable);
❒
air recirculation switching-off;
❒
maximum air temperature setting (HI); IMPORTANT If the heating fluid is not sufficiently hot, max-
imum fan speed will not be activated immediately to pre-
vent air not warm enough from entering the passenger
compartment.
LO function
This function can be switched on to cool the passenger
compartment as quickly as possible; with this function
switched on the compressor will be engaged whereas air
distribution and fan speed are controlled by the system.
To turn this function off, set the required temperature.
IMPORTANT With the function switched on, however, all
the manual settings can be made.

fort conditions as soon as possible.
During automatic operation it is possible:❒
to select the required temperature (buttons
ÔÕ

❒
to activate or deactivate air recirculation
(button
T
– D);
❒
to activate fast window demisting/defrosting
(button

– L);
❒
to select air distribution (buttons
¥wμ

❒
to select the fan speed (buttons
ÕÔ
– F).
The system will automatically modify its settings accord-
ing to set changes and the button LED will turn off.
To restore automatic operation press again the
AUTO
button.
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 inspected at a Fiat
Dealership.
The system uses R134a refrigerant fluid
which does not pollute the environment in
the event of accidental leakage. Under no
circumstances should R12 fluid be used as it is in-
compatible with the system components.
