D - climate control system compressor activation/deactivation button (not available for versions with heater only);
E - air distribution knob:
air flow from central and side vents
air flow from central vents, side vents and front / rear footwell vents
air outlet from the front and rear footwell diffusers and a light air flow also from the side vents on the dashboard
air outlet from the front and rear footwell diffusers, to the windscreen, the side windows and a light air flow also at the side
vents on the dashboard
air outlet to the windscreen, the side windows and a light air flow also at the side vents on the dashboard
4 further intermediate positions are also possible in the 5 main distributions described above.
F - Heated rear window on/off button;
Selecting the windscreen air distribution activates the climate control system compressor (LED on A/C button on) and the air
recirculation is set to "outside air" (LED on button B off). This logic guarantees optimum visibility at the windows. The driver can
always set air recirculation and climate control system compressor.
Additional heater(where provided)
The additional heater ensures more rapid passenger compartment heating.
It activates in cold weather conditions, if the following conditions are verified:
outside temperature low;
engine coolant temperature low;
engine started;
fan speed set at least to 1stspeed;
knob C turned completely clockwise to red section.
The heater is switched off when at least one of the conditions above is no longer verified.
The power of the electric heater is modulated according to the battery voltage.

Air distribution selection
Air flow to the windscreen and front side window diffusers to demist/defrost them.
Air flow at central and side dashboard vents to ventilate the chest and the face during the hot season.
Air flow to the front and rear footwell diffusers. This air distribution setting heats the passenger compartment most quickly,
giving a prompt sensation of warmth.
+Air flow distributed between footwell diffusers (hotter air) and central and side dashboard vents (cooler air). This
distribution setting is useful in spring and autumn on sunny days.
+Air flow distributed between footwell vents and windscreen and front side vents. This distribution setting allows the
passenger compartment to be warmed up efficiently and prevents the windows from misting up.
+Air flow distributed between central and side dashboard vents and windscreen and front side window vents. This
distribution allows air to be sent to the windscreen in conditions of strong sunlight.
++Air flow distribution to all diffusers on the vehicle.
In AUTO mode, the climate control system automatically manages air distribution (the LEDs on buttons H are off). When set
manually, the air distribution is indicated by the LEDs on the selected buttons switching on. In combined function mode the
relevant function is enabled simultaneously with those already set by pressing the corresponding button. If a button whose
function is already active is pressed, its operation is cancelled and the corresponding LED switches off. To restore automatic
control of the air distribution after a manual selection, press the AUTO button.
Start&Stop
The automatic dual zone climate control system manages the Start&Stop system (engine off when vehicle speed is 0 km/h) to
ensure adequate comfort inside the vehicle. When the Start&Stop system is on (engine off and vehicle at a standstill), the
automatic recirculation management is turned off always taking air in from outside, to reduce the probability of the windows
misting up (as the compressor is off).
IMPORTANT
2)The system uses R1234YF coolant, which does not pollute the environment in the event of accidental leakage. Under no circumstances
use R134a and R12 fluids, which are incompatible with the components of the system.

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
IMPORTANT The warning light switches on in the instrument panel together with a dedicated message and/or acoustic signal
when applicable. These indications are indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or
alternative to the information contained in the Owner Handbook, which you are advised to read carefully in all cases. Always
refer to the information in this chapter in the event of a failure indication.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed are divided into two categories: serious and less serious failures. Serious failures are
indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious failures are indicated by a warning "cycle" with a shorter
duration. The display cycle of both categories can be interrupted. The instrument panel warning light will stay on until the cause
of the failure is eliminated.
Warning light What it means
INSUFFICIENT BRAKE FLUID / ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE ON
Low brake fluid level
The warning light switches on when the brake fluid in the reservoir falls below the minimum level, possibly
due to a leak in the circuit. Restore the brake fluid level, then check that the warning light has switched
off. If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership.
Electric parking brake on
The warning light switches on when the electric parking brake is engaged. Release the electric parking
brake, then check that the warning light has switched off. If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
EBD FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the
(red) and(amber) warning lights with the engine on
indicates either a failure of the EBD system or that the system is not available. In this case, the rear
wheels may suddenly lock and the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply.
Drive very carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the system inspected immediately.
