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.

ANCHORING THE LOAD
Two attachments fig. 93located inside
the luggage compartment are used to an-
chor cables that insure transported loads
are firmly secured and two attachments
on the rear crossmember fig. 94.
IMPORTANT Never anchor to single
hooks a load exceeding 100 kg.
A heavy load that has not
been secured may cause se-
rious harm to passengers.
WARNING
If you want to carry reserve
fuel in a can, follow law reg-
ulations, only using a certified can,
suitably fastened to the load securing
eyelets. Even in this way the risk of
fire is increased in the case of an ac-
cident.

FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 108
To carry out fuelling, open flap Aand un-
screw cap B: the cap is fitted with an an-
tiloss device Cwhich fastens it to the flap
so it cannot be mislaid.
The cap Bis fitted with key-lock: open the
lid A, then, turn the ignition key in the lock
and open the cap.
When refuelling, secure the cap to the de-
vice inside the lid as shown in the figure. IMPORTANT The sealing of the tank may
cause light pressurising in the tank. A lit-
tle breathing off, while slackening the cap,
is absolutely normal.
After refuelling, turn the cap clockwise un-
til it clicks, then turn the key clockwise,
remove it and close the flap.
fig. 108F0Q0695m
Keep naked flames or light-
ed cigarettes away from the
fuel filler hole as there is a danger of
fire. Do not bend too close to the hole
either so as not to breathe in harmful
vapours.
WARNING
PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
The devices for curtailing petrol engine
emissions are the following:
❒three-way catalytic converter;
❒Lambda sensor;
❒fuel evaporation system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even
for a test, with one or more spark plugs
disconnected.
The devices for curtailing diesel fuel en-
gine emissions are the following:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system
(E.G.R.);
❒Lambda sensors;
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF) (where
provided it is fitted instead of the Lamb-
da sensor).

PRESETTING FOR
MOUNTING THE
ISOFIX CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
This car is preset for mounting the Uni-
versal Isofix child restraint system, a new
European standardised system for carry-
ing children safely.
It is possible to mount at the same time
both the traditional restraint system and
the Isofix one.
Fig. 12shows a child’s seat by way of ex-
ample. The Universal Isofix child’s seat
covers weight group: 1.
Other weight groups are covered by a
specific Isofix child seat that can be used
only if specifically designed, tested and ap-
proved for his vehicle (see the list of ve-
hicles accompanying the child seat).
Due to its different anchoring system, the
Universal Isofix child’s seat shall be an-
chored to the proper lower metal rings
A-fig. 13, set between rear seat back and
cushion. The upper belt (provided with
the child’s seat) shall be then secured to
ring B-fig. 14set at the back of the seat
backrest at child’s seat height.Remember that in case of Universal Isofix
child’s seat, you can only use all those
seats approved with the marking ECE
R44/03 Isofix.

TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT NOTES
For towing caravans or trailers the car
must be fitted with a certified tow hook
and an adequate electric system. Installa-
tion should be carried out by specialised
personnel who release a special document
for circulation on the road.
Install any specific and/or additional rear-
view mirrors as specified by law.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, the brak-
ing spaces increase and overtaking takes
longer depending on the overall weight.
Engage a low gear when driving downhill,
rather than constantly using the brake.
The weight the trailer exerts on the car tow
hook reduces by the same amount the ac-
tual car loading capacity. To make sure the
maximum towable weight is not exceeded
(given in the log book) account should be
taken of the fully laden trailer, including ac-
cessories and personal belongings.
Do not exceed the speed limits of the
country you are driving in. In any case do
not exceed 80 km/h.INSTALLING THE
TOW HOOK
The towing device should be fastened to
the body by specialised personnel accord-
ing to any additional and/or integrative in-
formation supplied by the Manufacturer of
the device. The towing device must meet
current regulations with reference to
94/20/EC Directive and subsequent
amendments. For any version the towing
device used must match the towable
weight of the car on which it is to be in-
stalled.
IMPORTANT Supplementary electric
loads other than external lights (e.g. elec-
tric brake, electric winch, etc.) shall be
used with running engine.
For the electric connection a unified con-
nector should be used which is generally
placed on a special bracket normally fas-
tened to the towing device, and a special
ECU for external trailer light control shall
be installed on the car.
For the electrical connection, 7 or 13 pin
12VDC connection is to be used (CU-
NA/UNI and ISO/DIN Standards). Follow
the instructions provided by the car man-
ufacturer and/or the tow hitch manufac-
turer.
The ABS system with which
the car may be fitted does
not control the trailer braking system.
Drive with extreme care on slippery
roadbeds.
WARNING
Under no circumstances
should the car brake system
be altered to control the trailer brake.
The trailer braking system must be
fully independent of the car’s hy-
draulic system.
WARNING
Any electric brake (or electric winch, etc.)
should be supplied directly by the battery
through a cable with a cross section of no
less than 2.5 mm
2.
IMPORTANT Electric brake or other de-
vice shall be used with running engine.
In addition to the electrical branches, the
car electric system can only be connect-
ed to the supply cable for an electric brake
and to the cable for an internal light,
though not above 15W. For connections
use the preset control unit with battery
cable no less than 2.5 mm
2.

For the correct function of the diesel versions with DPF use exclusively the original lubricant type. In emergency cases, where the
original product is not available, execute a fill up of only 0,5 lt. maximum and as soon as possible go to the Fiat Dealership.
In case of use of AE 5W-40 non original products, lubricants with minimum performances are accepted ACEA B4 for diesel en-
gines; in this case optimal performances of the engine are not guaranteed.
The use of products with inferior characteristics compared to ACEA C3 and ACEA B4 could cause damage, not covered by the
guarantee, to the engine.
For particularly rigid climatic conditions ask the Fiat Dealership for the appropriate product from the Seleniarange.
