REFUELLING
Only refuel with diesel fuel for motor vehicles conforming to the European specification EN590.
Using other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and cause the forfeiture of the warranty cov-
er for caused damages as a consequence.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch pedal, without press-
ing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to Mand wait for the warning lights
Y
and
m
to go off; turn the igni-
tion key to Dand release it as soon as the engine has started.
PARKING OVER INFLAMMABLE MATERIAL
While working, the catalyst develops a very high temperature. Do not park the vehicle over grass, dry leaves, pine nee-
dles or any other inflammable materials: risk of fire.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the components correlated with emissions to en-
sure better respect for the environment.

LOOKING AFTER THE SYSTEM
During 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 Deal-
ership.
The system is filled with
R134a refrigerant which will
not pollute the environment
in the event of leakage. Un-
der no circumstances should R12 fluid
be used as it is incompatible with the
system components.

quired “heating” or “cooling” conditions
faster.

During fully automatic operation, the on-
ly manual settings required are the fol-
lowing:❒
Ω
air recirculation, to keep it always
on or off;
❒
-
to speed up demisting/defrosting
of windscreen, side windows, rear win-
dow and door mirrors;
❒
(
to demist/defrost heated rear win-
dow and door mirrors;
❒π
to select air distribution during ven-
tilation.
During full automatic system operation,
you can change at any time set tempera-
tures, air distribution and fan speed by us-
ing the relevant buttons or knobs: the sys-
tem will automatically change its settings
to adjust to the new requirements.Air temperature adjusting knobs
M - I
Turning the knobs clockwise or counter-
clockwise, respectively increases or de-
creases the temperature of the air required
respectively in the front left zone (knob M)
and in the right zone (knob I) f the passen-
ger compartment. Since the system controls
two zones of the passenger compartment,
it is possible to personalise required tem-
peratures (driver and passenger) with a
maximum difference of 7 °C.
The temperatures set are shown on the dis-
play near the relevant knobs. Pressing but-
ton AUTOwill activate automatic opera-
tion in order to have two separate ventila-
tion temperatures between driver and pas-
senger’s side.
With automatic operation on, pressing again
button AUTOwill align the temperature
on the passenger’s side with that on the dri-
ver’s side.
Turn the knobs fully clockwise or counter-
clockwise to engage respectively HI(max-
imum heating) or LO(maximum cooling).
To deactivate these two functions, just
turn the temperature knob and set the re-
quired temperature.Front air distribution button D
Pressing this button it is possible to
choose manually one of the seven possi-
ble air distributions to the passenger com-
partment (right or left side):
æ
Air flow to the windscreen and front
side window vents to demist or de-
frost them.
ø
Air flow at central and side dash-
board vents to ventilate the chest and
the face during the hot season.
¿
Air flow towards the front and rear
lower parts of the passenger com-
partment. Due to the natural ten-
dency of heat to spread upwards, this
type of distribution allows heating of
the passenger compartment in the
shortest time, also giving a prompt
feeling of warmth.

AUTO button
(automatic operation on/off)
Pressing button AUTOthe system auto-
matically adjusts the amount and distribu-
tion of the air admitted to the passenger
compartment, cancelling all the previous
manual adjustments. Manual operation of
at least one automatic function (air recir-
culation, air distribution, fan speed or cli-
mate control compressor off).
IMPORTANT Should the system (after
manual settings) be no longer able to guar-
antee the required temperature set in the
passenger compartment, the set tempera-
ture value will start flashing to indicate this
condition, after one minute the AUTO
message will turn off.To restore system automatic control at
any time, after one or more manual ad-
justments, press button AUTO.
Pressing again button AUTOautomati-
cally aligns the temperature on the pas-
senger side with that on the driver side,
it is therefore possible to set the same
temperature and air distribution between
the two zones by turning the knob on dri-
ver side. This function is provided to sim-
plify temperature adjustment of the whole
passenger compartment when only the
driver is onboard. Separate operation of
set temperature and air distribution is re-
stored by pressing the button AUTO
again.Air recirculation on/off button E
Air recirculation works according to the
following operating logics:
❒
automatic switching on, by pressing one
of the AUTObuttons and indicated by
the turning on of the AUTOicon on the
display.
❒
manual switching on, by pressing but-
ton E, indicated by symbol
Ω
on the
display;
❒
manual switching off, by pressing but-
ton E, indicated by the turning off of
symbol
Ω
on the display.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the re-
quired 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 con-
trol system is off.

low outside temperature and engine
coolant temperature.
IMPORTANT Heater will not turn on if
the battery voltage is not sufficient.

Modification of a
programmed
speed
In order to memorise
a speed which is supe-
rior to the previous
one, there are two possibilities:
Without using the accelerator:
❒
Press the Set +key.
A slight pressure increases the speed by 1
km/h.
A constant pressure increases the speed
by steps of 5 km/h.
By using the accelerator:
❒
exceeding the memorised speed until
reaching the desired speed
❒
Press the Set + o Set –key
In order to memorise a speed which is in-
ferior to the previous one:
❒
Press the Set -key
A brief pressure reduces the speed by 1
km/h.
A constant pressure reduces the speed by
steps of 5 km/h.Function Arrest
Move the knob to the 0position or take
out the starting key.
Cancellation of the programmed
speed
When the vehicle stops, after having tak-
en out the starting key, the speed is no
longer memorised by the system.
Functioning Anomaly
The programmed speed is cancelled and
substituted by three dashes.
Please seek advice from the Fiat Dealer-
ship in order to have the system checked.For a correct usage
Take care when you modify the pro-
grammed speed with a constant pressure,
in that the speed may increase or decrease
rapidly. Do not use the speed regulator
on a slippery road or in heavy traffic.
In case of a steep downwards slope; the
speed regulator cannot prevent the vehi-
cle of exceeding the programmed speed.
The regulator cannot, under any circum-
stances, substitute the respect of the
speed limit, nor the alertness and the re-
sponsibility of the driver. In order to hin-
der the functioning of the pedals:
– Check that the car mat is in the correct
position
– Do not overlap several car mats.

Exceeding the programmed speed
Pressing on the accelerator pedal in order
to exceed the programmed speed will have
no effect, except if you press hard on the
pedal and you exceed the resistance point.
The restrictor is temporarily deactivated
and the programmed speed flashes.
In order to return to the restrictor func-
tion, reduce the speed until reaching a val-
ue inferior to the programmed speed.
Flashing of the speed indicator
The speed indicator flashes:❒
After having forced the accelerator re-
sistance point
❒
When the restrictor cannot prevent
the increasing of the speed of the ve-
hicle due to the shape of the road or
due to a steep hill
❒
In case of a powerful acceleration.Function Arrest
Move the knob to the 0position or take
out the starting key in order to arrest the
system. The last programmed speed is
memorised.Functioning Anomaly
The programmed speed is cancelled and
substituted by three dashes.
Please seek advice from the Fiat Dealer-
ship in order to have the system checked.
For a correct usage
The restrictor cannot, under any circum-
stances, substitute the respect of the
speed limit, nor the alertness and the re-
sponsibility of the driver. Be careful of the
shape of the road and powerful accelera-
tions. In order to hinder the functioning
of the pedals:
– Check that the car mat is in the correct
position
– Do not overlap several car mats.
