WARNING
7)All adjustments must be made with the
car stationary and engine stopped.
8)If a side bag is fitted, it is dangerous to
use seat covers not available from
Lineaccessori MOPAR
®.
9)Once you have released the adjustment
lever, always check that the seat is locked
on the guides by trying to move it back and
forth. If the seat is not locked into place, it
may unexpectedly slide and cause the
driver to lose control of the car.
10)Make sure the backrests are properly
secured at both sides to prevent them from
moving forward, in the event of sharp
braking, with possible impact with of the
passengers.
WARNING
3)The fabric upholstery of the seats has
been designed to withstand long-term
wear deriving from normal use of the car.
Some precautions are however required.
Avoid prolonged and/or excessive rubbing
against clothing accessories such as
metal buckles and Velcro strips which, by
applying a high pressure on the fabric in
a small area, could cause it to break,
thereby damaging the upholstery.
4)Before tilting the backrest, remove any
objects on the seat cushion.

simultaneously press the buttons A fig.
14 and B at the sides of the two

A - Climate control system
compressor on/off.
B - Adjustment of temperature
inside the passenger compartment.
: increase required temperature to
the HI value (maximum heating).
: increase required temperature to
the LO value (maximum cooling).
C - fan speed adjustment.
When the
orbuttons are pressed,
the fan speed, increases or decreases
as shown by the bars on the display
lighting.
D - Button for switching fast front
window demisting/defrosting on
and off.
IMPORTANT The function remains
active for approximately 3 minutes after
the coolant temperature exceeds 50°C.
IMPORTANT In warm-humid weather
conditions, using cold air on the
windscreen may cause external
condensation, which could limit
visibility.
E - Passenger compartment air
distribution.
By pressing the buttons, one of the five
possible air flow distribution patterns
can be selected:
air flow to the windscreen and front
side window diffusers to demist
or defrost them.
air flow to central and side
dashboard vents to ventilate the
chest and the face during the hot
season.
air flow to the front seat feet area
diffusers. 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.
+distribution between feet area
diffusers (warmest air) and
dashboard diffusers (coolest
air).
+distribution between footwell
diffusers and windscreen/
front side window vents. This
type of distribution achieves
effective heating of the
passenger compartment and
prevents the windows from
misting up.
F - Heated rear windscreen on/off
button.
IMPORTANT Do not apply stickers on
the inside of the rear window over
the heating filaments to avoid damage.G - Switching off
H - Internal air recirculation on/off
button
It is advisable to switch the internal air
recirculation on whilst queuing or in
tunnels to prevent the introduction of
polluted air.
LED on button ON = recirculation ON.
LED on button OFF = recirculation OFF.
IMPORTANT It is inadvisable to use
air recirculation when the outside
temperature is low, since the windows
could mist rapidly.
I - Automatic climate control
system on/offWARNING
2)The system uses R1234yf coolant,
which is compatible with the laws in force
in the countries where the vehicle is sold.
When charging, only use the gas indicated
on the dedicated plate in the engine
compartment . The use of other coolants
affects the efficiency and condition of
the system. The lubricant used for the
compressor is also strictly linked to the
type of cooling gas, please refer to a Fiat
Dealership.

top is closed.
SOFT TOP MOVEMENT
23) 24) 25)
14) 15) 16)

the initial position (spoiler position).
IMPORTANT The vertical opening will
be inhibited when the tailgate is open.
IMPORTANT If the soft top locks during
its movement, it may lose the position;
in this case, you should carry out a
complete opening / closing cycle.Closing the roof from top fully open

25 cm from fully closed position). If one
of the two buttons is pressed before
the stop position is reached, the soft
top may stop in an intermediate
horizontal open position.
NOTE The roof will not automatically
close completely; keep button B fig. 32
