ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE fig. 13
This shows the temperature of the engine coolant and
starts working when the fluid temperature exceeds ap-
prox. 50 °C.
In normal usage, the needle should hover around the mid-
dle of the scale.
C Low engine coolant temperature.
H High engine coolant temperature.
Warning light B may light up (and a message on the multi-
function display may appear on certain versions) to indicate
that the coolant temperature is too high; in this case, stop
the engine and contact the Fiat Service Network. FUEL LEVEL GAUGE fig. 13
This shows the amount of fuel left in the tank.
E tank empty.
F tank full (see “Refuelling”).
Warning light A comes on to indicate that approximately
8-10 litres of fuel are left in the tank.
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost empty: the gaps
in fuel delivery could damage the catalytic converter.
WARNING The needle will point to E and warning light
A will flash to indicate a fault in the system. If this is the
case, go to the Fiat Service Network to have the system
checked.
If the needle enters the red zone, switch off
the engine immediately and contact the
Fiat Service Network.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Run the climate control system for at least 10 minutes
every month during the winter. Have the system inspect-
ed at the Fiat Service Network before the summer. Adjusting cooling
Proceed as follows:
❒turn off internal air recirculation by pressing button E
(button LED off);
❒turn knob A to the right to increase the temperature;
❒turn knob B to the left to reduce the fan speed.
SUPPLEMENTARY HEATER
(for versions/markets where provided)
This device warms up the passenger compartment more
quickly when it is very cold and the engine coolant tem-
perature is low.
The supplementary heater comes on automatically when
the engine is started, if knob A is turned to the last red
sector and the fan (knob B) is at least at the first speed lev-
el.
The supplementary heater turns off automatically after
reaching the required comfort conditions.
WARNING The heater will not turn on if the battery volt-
age is too low.

❒the maximum air temperature for the HI air is set in
both areas;
❒sets the fan speed set according to the engine coolant
temperature to limit the flow of air that is insufficiently
warm to demist the windows;
❒the air flow is directed to the windscreen and front
door window glasses diffusers;
❒switches on the heated rear windscreen
WARNING The rapid demisting/defrosting function for
the windows remains on for about 3 minutes from when
the engine coolant reaches the appropriate temperature
for a rapid demisting of the windows.
When this function is active, the LED in the correspond-
ing button and the one for the heated rear windscreen but-
ton switch on. The message FULL AUTO goes off on the
display.
You can only adjust the fan speed and switch the heated
rear windscreen off manually when this function is active.
To restore the previous operating conditions, simply press
button B, air recirculation button G, compressor button
F or AUTO button A. IMPORTANT With the compressor off, it is not possible
to introduce air into the passenger compartment at a tem-
perature lower than that of the outside air. In certain
weather conditions, the windows could mist up rapidly due
to the non-dehumidified air.
The switching off of the compressor remains memorised
even when the engine has been stopped.
To restore automatic compressor engagement control,
press the √button again (in this case, the system will work
only as a heater) or press the AUTO button.
With the compressor switched off, if the outside tem-
perature is higher than the one set, the system is not ca-
pable of satisfying this request and signals it by the digits
for the temperature setting flashing after which the word
AUTO goes out.
With the climate control compressor off, the fan speed
can be set to zero manually (no bar shown).
With the compressor enabled and the engine started, the
fan speed may only be reduced to the minimum setting
(one bar shown).
Button for rapid window demisting/defrosting (D)
Press this button and the climate control system will au-
tomatically switch on all the functions required for fast
windscreen and side window demisting/defrosting:
❒the climate control compressor is turned on when
weather conditions are suitable;
❒the air recirculation is turned off;

STARTING PROCEDURE FOR DIESEL
VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒ensure that the handbrake is on;
❒put the gear lever into neutral;
❒turn the ignition key to MAR: the warning lights Yand
mon the instrument panel will turn on;
❒wait for the warning lights Yand mto turn off. The
hotter the engine is, the quicker this will happen;
❒fully depress the clutch pedal without touching the ac-
celerator;
❒turn the ignition key to AVV as soon as warning light
mgoes out. Waiting too long will waste the heating
work done by the glow plugs.
Release the key as soon as the engine starts.
IMPORTANT With the engine cold, the accelerator ped-
al must be fully released when you turn the ignition key to
AVV.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return
the ignition key to STOP before repeating the procedure.
If instrument panel warning light
Yremains lit when the
ignition key is at MAR, turn the key to STOP and then back
to MAR; if the warning light remains lit, try the other keys
provided with the vehicle. Contact a Fiat Dealership if the
engine still does not start.
Warning light mwill flash for 60 seconds
after starting or during prolonged crank-
ing to indicate a fault in the glow plug pre-
heating system. Use the vehicle normally if the en-
gine starts, but go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
HOW TO WARM UP THE ENGINE
AFTER IT HAS JUST STARTED
Proceed as follows:
❒drive off slowly at medium revs, and accelerate
smoothly;
❒do not demand maximum performance for the first few
kilometres. Wait until the engine coolant gauge starts
moving.
EMERGENCY STARTING
If the instrument panel warning light Ystays on steadily, you
can perform an emergency start by using the code on the CODE
card (see the “In an emergency” section).

OVERHEATED ENGINE COOLANT
(red)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the
warning light turns on but should go off after a few
seconds.
The warning light turns on when the engine is overheated.
If the warning light comes on, proceed as follows:
❒when driving normally: stop the vehicle, switch off the
engine and check that the water level in the reservoir
is not below the MIN mark. If it is not, wait for a few
minutes for the engine to cool down then slowly and
carefully open the cap, top up with coolant and check
that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks. Al-
so visually check for leaks. Go to a Fiat Dealership if
the warning light comes on again when the engine is
next started.
❒if the vehicle is used under demanding conditions (e.g.
towing trailers uphill or fully loaded): slow down and,
if the light stays on, stop the vehicle. Stop for two or
three minutes with the engine running and slightly ac-
celerated to assist better coolant circulation. Then
switch the engine off. Check the correct fluid level as
described previously.
ç
IMPORTANT On demanding routes, it is advisable to keep
the engine on and slightly accelerated for a few minutes
before switching it off.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
BATTERY CHARGE LOW (red)
The warning light comes on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should go out as
soon as the engine has started (with the engine run-
ning at idle speed a brief delay before going out is accept-
able).
If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership im-
mediately.
