AQS (Air Quality System)
function activation
The AQS function, (message AQS on the
display), turns on air recirculation auto-
matically when it detects the presence of
outside polluted air (for example when
driving in queues and tunnels).
IMPORTANT When the AQS function is
active, after 15 minutes of consecutive in-
ternal air recirculation, the climate con-
trol system enables outside air inlet (re-
gardless of air pollution level) for approx.
1 minute to change air inside the passen-
ger compartment. INSIDE AIR RECIRCULATION
ON/OFF AND AQS FUNCTION
(Air Quality System) BUTTON
Press button
T.
Inside air recirculation is controlled by
three operating logics:
❒automatic control, indicated by message
AQS on the display and button led
Toff;
❒forced switching off (inside air recircu-
lation always off with air inlet from out-
side), button led
Toff;
❒forced switching on (inside air recircu-
lation always on with air inlet from out-
side), button led
Ton.Pressing button OFF, the climate control
system turns on automatically the inside
air recirculation function (button led
Ton). In these conditions it is how-
ever possible to take air from the outside
(and vice versa) pressing button
T(button led off).
With button OFF pressed (button led on),
the AQS (Air Quality System) function
cannot be activated.
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 consider-
ably increase the possibility of the win-
dows misting inside, especially if the cli-
mate control system is off. It is advisable
to turn on the inside air recirculation sys-
tem in queues or tunnels to avoid admit-
ting polluted air from outside. The pro-
longed use of this function should how-
ever be avoided, especially with several
persons on board, to avoid the possibili-
ty of the windows misting inside.

SUPPLEMENTARY HEATER
(where provided)
This device heats up the passenger com-

conditions with the engine coolant tem-
perature very low.
In the above climate conditions, the de-
vice comes on automatically when the en-
gine is started with at least one bar of the
fan speed indicator lit up.
The radiator is turned off automatically
when conditions of comfort are achieved.
IMPORTANT heater activation is pre-
vented if the battery voltage is too low.SWITCHING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM OFF

CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may
help you to keep the running costs of your
car down and lower the amount of toxic
emissions released into the atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out
in accordance with the “Service schedule”.
Tyres
Check the pressure of the tyres routine-
ly at an interval of no more than 4 weeks:
if the pressure is too low, consumption
levels increase as resistance to rolling is
higher.Carichi inutili
Do not travel with too much luggage
stowed in the boot. The weight of the car
(especially when driving in town) and its
trim greatly affects consumption and sta-
bility.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from
the roof as soon as they are no longer
used. These accessories lower air pene-
tration and adversely affect consumption
levels. When needing to carry particular-
ly voluminous objects, preferably use a
trailer.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount
of time needed. Rear heated window, ad-
ditional headlights, windscreen wipers and
heater fan need a considerable amount of
energy, therefore increasing the require-
ment of current increases fuel consump-
tion (up to +25% in the urban cycle).Climate control
The air conditioner is an additional load
which greatly affects the engine leading to
higher consumption (on average up to
+20%). When the temperature outside
the car permits it, use the air vents where
possible.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic
items may adversely affect air drag and
consumption levels.

(**)The engine oil and oil filter should be changed depending on their actual condition, which is indicated by a warning light/message on the
control panel or at least every 2 years.
For 1.4 T-JET 150 HP version, in order to ensure correct operation and avoid significant damages to the engine, it is mandatory:
- to use spark plugs specifically certified for the T-JET engine only, of the same type and brand (see paragraph “Engine”);
- to replace the plugs as often as required by the Programmed Maintenance Plan;
- we recommend to refer to the Fiat Dealership.
If the car is used mainly on urban routes or if the yearly kilometres travelled are less than 10,000 km, the engine oil and filter must be changed every 12 months.

MAINTENANCE
When the engine is hot, take
care when working inside the
engine compartment to avoid burns.
Remember that when the engine is
hot, the fan may cut in: danger of in-
jury. Scarves, ties and other loose
clothing might be pulled by moving
parts.
WARNING
Used engine oil and filter con-
tain harmful substances for
the environment. Contact Fi-
at Dealership to have the oil
and filter changed.
ENGINE COOLANT FLUID
fig. 9-10
The coolant level shall be checked with
cold engine and shall not be lower than
the MINmark on the reservoir.
If the level is low, pour slowly a mixture
of 50% distilled water and 50%
PARAFLU
UPof the FL Seleniathrough
the filler neck A.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU
UPand dis-
tilled water gives freeze protection to
–35°C.
For particularly hard climate conditions, we
recommend use of a 60% PARAFLU
UP
and 40% demineralized water mixture.
fig. 9 - 1.4 16V version F0Q0617mfig. 10 - 1.4 T-JET and 1.9 Multijet version F0Q0619m
The cooling system uses
PARAFLUUPantifreeze. Do
not add fluid having different
specifications from that al-
ready existing. PARAFLU
UPcannot be
mixed with other types of fluids. Should
other fluids be added, do not start the
engine and contact Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.
Do not remove the reservoir
cap when the engine is hot:
you risk scalding yourself. The cool-
ing system is pressurised. If necessary,
replace the cap only with another
genuine one, otherwise system effi-
ciency could be compromised.

BODYWORK
PROTECTION FROM
ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS
The main causes of corrosion are the fol-
lowing:
❒ atmospheric pollution;
❒ salty air and humidity (coastal areas, or
hot humid climates);
❒ seasonal environment conditions.
Not to be underestimated is also the abra-
sive action of wind-borne atmospheric
dust and sand and mud and gravel raised
by other cars.
On your Fiat Bravo, Fiat implemented the
best manufacturing technologies to effec-
tively protect the bodywork against cor-
rosion.These include:
❒ Painting products and systems which
give the car particular resistance to cor-
rosion and abrasion;
❒ Use of galvanised (or pretreated) steel
sheets, with high resistance to corro-
sion;
❒ Spraying the underbody, engine com-
partment, wheelhouse internal parts
and other parts with highly protective
wax products;
❒ Spraying of plastic parts, with a pro-
tective function, in the more exposed
points: underdoor, inner fender parts,
edges, etc.;
❒Use of “open” boxed sections to pre-
vent condensation and pockets of mois-
ture from triggering rust inside.BODY AND UNDERBODY
WARRANTY
Your car is covered by warranty against
perforation due to rust of any original el-
ement of the structure or body. For the
general terms of this warranty, refer to
the Fiat Warranty booklet.
