HEATING AND VENTILATION
Controls
A - Air temperature adjustment knob: blue section = cold air, red section = hot air;
B - air recirculation on/off button: internal air recirculation makes it possible to reach the required heating or cooling conditions
more quickly depending on the mode selected. Do not use the air recirculation function on rainy/cold days as it would
considerably increase the possibility of the windows steaming up;
C - fan activation/adjustment knob (0 = fan off / = fan speed) / 1-2-3-4 = ventilation speed;
D - heated rear window on/off button;
E - air distribution knob:
air from central vents, side vents and central diffuser
air from central vents, side vents, central diffuser and front and rear footwell diffusers
air only from front and rear footwell vents
air from front and rear footwell vents, to windscreen and side windows
air outlet to windscreen and side windows

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

If it is often necessary to perform a
jump starting, have the vehicle battery
and the recharging system checked
by a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Any accessories (e.g.
mobile phones, etc.) connected to the
vehicle power sockets draw current
even if they are not used. These
devices, if left connected too much time
with engine off, may cause the battery
to drain with following reduction of
its life and/or failure to start the engine.
WARNING
140)Do not get too close to the radiator
cooling fan: the electric fan may start;
danger of injury. Scarves, ties and other
loose clothing may be pulled by moving
parts.
141)Remove any metal objects (e.g. rings,
watches, bracelets), that might cause an
accidental electrical contact and cause
serious injury.
142)Batteries contain acid which may burn
skin and eyes. Batteries produce
hydrogen, which is easily flammable and
explosive. Thus keep away flames or
devices which may cause sparks.
WARNING
68)Do not connect the cable to the
negative terminal (–) of the flat battery. The
following spark could lead to battery
explosion and cause serious harm. Only
use the specific earth point; do not use any
other exposed metallic part.
FUEL CUT-OFF
SYSTEM
143)This intervenes in the event of an
impact causing:
❒the interruption of the fuel supply with
the engine consequently cutting out
❒the automatic unlocking of the doors
❒the automatic switching on of the
interior lights
❒the switching on of the hazard
warning lights.
On some versions, the intervention of
the system is indicated by a message
shown on the display.
IMPORTANT Carefully check the car for
fuel leaks, for instance in the engine
compartment, under the car or near the
tank area. After a collision, turn the
ignition key to STOP to prevent the
battery from running down.
To restore the correct operation of the
car, proceed as follows:
❒turn the ignition key to the MAR
position;
❒activate the right direction indicator
and then stop it;
❒activate the left direction indicator
and then stop it;
❒activate the right direction indicator
and then stop it;

CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
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.
WARNING
148)Never smoke when performing
operations in the engine compartment.
Flammable gases and fumes may be
present and risk igniting.
149)Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine
is hot: you may get burnt.
150)If the engine oil is being topped up,
wait for the engine to cool down before
loosening the filler cap, particularly for
vehicles with aluminium cap (where
provided). IMPORTANT: risk of burns!
151)The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the cap with
another original one or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do
not remove the reservoir cap when the
engine is hot: risk of burns.
152)Do not travel with the washer fluid
reservoir empty: the washer operation
is essential for improving visibility. Repeated
operation of the system without fluid could
damage or cause rapid deterioration of
some system components.153)Certain commercial additives for
washer fluids are inflammable. The engine
compartment contains hot components
which may set it on fire.
154)Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. In the event of accidental
contact, immediately wash the affected
parts with water and mild soap. Then rinse
thoroughly. Call a doctor immediately if
swallowed.
155)The
symbol on the container
indicates a synthetic brake fluid, which is
different from a mineral fluid. Using a
mineral fluid will damage the special rubber
seals of the braking system beyond repair.
156)Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin and
eyes. Keep open flames away from the
battery and do not use objects that might
create sparks: risk of explosion and fire.
157)Using the battery with insufficient
fluid irreparably damages the battery and
may cause an explosion.
158)If the vehicle must remain unused for
a long time at a very low temperature,
remove the battery and take it to a warm
place, to avoid freezing.
159)When performing any operation on
the battery or near it, always protect your
eyes with special goggles.
WARNING
69)Be careful not to confuse the various
types of fluids while topping up: they
are not compatible with each other!
Topping up with an unsuitable fluid could
severely damage your vehicle.70)The oil level should never exceed the
MAX mark.
71)Do not add oil with specifications other
than those of the oil already in the engine.
72)PARAFLU
UPanti-freeze fluid is used
in the engine cooling system; use the same
fluid type as that already in the cooling
system when topping up. PARAFLU
UP
may not be mixed with other types of
anti-freeze fluids. In the event of topping up
with an unsuitable product, under no
circumstances start the engine and contact
a Fiat Dealership.
73)Avoid allowing brake fluid, which is
extremely corrosive, to come into contact
with painted areas. Should it happen, wash
immediately with water.
74)Incorrect assembly of electrical and
electronic accessories may cause severe
damage to your vehicle. Go to a Fiat
Dealership if you want to install accessories
(e.g. anti-theft, radio phone, etc.): they will
suggest the most suitable devices and
advise you whether a higher capacity
battery needs to be installed.
WARNING
4)Used engine oil and oil filters contain
substances which are harmful to the
environment. You are advised to contact a
Fiat Dealership to have the oil and filters
changed.
5)Used transmission fluid contains
substances that are harmful to the
environment. It is advisable to contact a
Fiat Dealership to have the fluid changed.
