INTERNAL AIR RECIRCULATION
ACTIVATION
Press button
: when the function is on, the
button LED lights up. It is advisable to switch the
internal air recirculation on while standing in
queues or in tunnels to prevent the introduction of
polluted air. However, it is better not to use the
function for long periods, particularly if there
are many people on board, to prevent the windows
from misting.
IMPORTANT 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 internal air recirculation
function on rainy/cold days as it would considerably
increase the possibility of the windows misting.ADDITIONAL HEATER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This device warms up the passenger compartment
more quickly when it is very cold and the engine
coolant temperature is low.
The additional heater comes on automatically when
the engine is started, if knob A is turned to the
last red sector and the fan (knob C) is at least at
the first speed level.
The heater switches off automatically when the
required comfort conditions are achieved.
IMPORTANT The heater will not turn on if the
battery voltage is too low.

be off ).
ACTIVATION OF INTERNAL AIR
RECIRCULATION AND ENABLEMENT OF
AQS FUNCTION (Air Quality System)
Press button
. Internal air recirculation is
carried out according to three possible operating
modes:
❒automatic control, signalled by the AQS sign on
the display and the LED on button
being
off;
❒forced deactivation (internal air recirculation
always off with introduction of outside air),
indicated by the LED on button
being off;
❒forced activation (internal air recirculation always
on), signalled by the LED on button
being lit.
When OFF button is pressed, the climate control
system automatically activates internal air
recirculation (the LED on button T should be on).
It is still possible to activate outside air recirculation
(LED on the button off ) and vice versa, by pressing
button T.
With the OFF button pressed (LED on the button
is lit up), it is not possible to enable the AQS
(Air Quality System) function.IMPORTANT Internal air recirculation makes it
possible to reach the required heating or cooling
conditions more quickly depending on the mode
selected. It is not advisable to switch the internal
air recirculation on when it is rainy/cold to prevent
the windows from misting, especially if the climate
control system has not been activated. It is
advisable to switch the internal air recirculation on
whilst queuing or in tunnels to prevent the
introduction of polluted air. Do not use the
function for a long time, particularly if there are
several passengers on board, to prevent the
windows from misting.
AQS (Air Quality System) function
activation
The AQS function (AQS sign on the display)
automatically activates internal air recirculation
when the outside air is polluted (e.g. in traffic
queues and tunnels).
IMPORTANT With the AQS function active, after
approx. 15 consecutive minutes of the internal
air recirculation system functioning, the climate
control system enables the intake of outside air for
approximately 1 minute to freshen the air in the
passenger compartment. This takes place regardless
of the pollution level of the outside air.

CAR INACTIVITYIf the car is to be left inactive for longer than a
month, the following precautions should be
observed:
❒park the car in covered, dry and if possible
well-ventilated premises and slightly open the
windows;
❒engage a gear and disengage the handbrake;
❒disconnect the negative battery terminal and
check charge (see paragraph “Battery - Charge
and electrolyte level check” in chapter
“Maintenance and care”);
❒clean and protect the painted parts using
protective wax;
❒clean and protect the shiny metal parts using
special compounds available commercially;❒sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber
windscreen and rear window wiper blades and lift
them off the glass;
❒cover the car with a cloth or perforated plastic
sheet. Do not use sheets of non-perforated
plastic as they do not allow moisture on the car
body to evaporate;
❒inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the standard
specified pressure and check it at intervals;
❒do not drain the engine cooling system.
IMPORTANT Where relevant, switch off the car
alarm with the remote control.

PARAFLU
UP
antifreeze is used in the
engine cooling system. Use the same fluid
as in the cooling system when topping
up. PARAFLU
UP
cannot be mixed with any
other type of fluid. If this happens, do not start
the engine; contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Do not remove the reservoir cap when
the engine is very hot as there is a
risk of scalding.The cooling system is
pressurised. If the cap needs replacing, do so
with another original or the effectiveness
of the system may be compromised.
WASHER FLUID FOR WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW/HEADLIGHTS
To add fluid, lift cap A shown in the figure: fig. 209
and pour in a mixture of water and TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC 35 fluid in the following
proportions:
❒30% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 and 70%
water in summer;
❒50% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 and 50%
water in winter.
At temperatures below -20°C, use undiluted
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35. Check fluid level
through the reservoir. For versions with headlight
washer, remove the filter and the corresponding
dipstick. The dipstick provides a visual indication of
the level of fluid in the reservoir.
