Air distribution buttons (B)
By pressing these buttons, it is possible to set one of the
seven possible air distributions manually:
▲Air flow to the windscreen and front side window dif-
fusers to demist or defrost them.
˙Air flow to the centre and side dashboard diffusers to
ventilate the chest and the face during the hot
season.
▼Air flow to the front and rear footwell diffusers.
Thanks to the natural tendency of hot air to rise up-
wards, this distribution pattern allows the passenger
compartment to warm up as quickly as possible, pro-
viding an immediate feeling of warmth.
˙
▼Air flow distribution split between footwell diffusers
(hotter air) and central and side dashboard vents
(cooler air). This distribution mode is particularly use-
ful in spring and autumn on sunny days.
▲
▼Air flow distribution split between the footwell dif-
fusers and the windscreen and front side windows de-
frosting/demisting diffusers. This allows an adequate
warming of the passenger compartment and prevents
the windows from steaming up.
The distribution set is shown by the corresponding LEDs
in the selected buttons coming on.
To restore automatic control of the air distribution after
a manual selection, press the AUTO button. This function may be used to heat up the passenger com-
partment exploiting the system potential to the maximum.
In this condition, the system stops controlling the tem-
perature automatically and sets the air mixing to maximum
heating. The air speed and distribution are fixed.
In particular, if the heating fluid is not sufficiently hot, the
maximum fan speed does not come on straight away in or-
der to limit the intake of insufficiently hot air into the pas-
senger compartment.
All manual settings will be allowed when this function
is on.
To switch the function off, simply turn the temperature
knob anticlockwise and set the required temperature.
❒LO function (maximum cooling):
select by turning the temperature knob anticlockwise un-
der the minimum value (16 °C).
This function may be used to cool down the passenger
compartment exploiting the system potential to the max-
imum. In this condition, the system stops controlling the
temperature automatically and sets the air mixing to max-
imum cooling. The air speed and distribution are fixed. All
manual settings will be allowed when this function is on.
To switch the function off, simply turn the temperature
knob clockwise and set the required temperature.

Climate control compressor on/off button (F)
Press button √to switch the climate control compres-
sor off (if it is already on). The icon on the display will
go out.
Press the button when the LED is off to automatically
restore system control and use of the compressor. The
icon will light up in the display in this case.
The system will switch the recirculation off when the cli-
mate control compressor is switched off to prevent the
windows misting up. Although the system is capable of
maintaining the required temperature, the word FULL will
disappear from the display. If the system is no longer able
to maintain the temperature, the figures will flash and the
word AUTO will go out. Air recirculation on/off button (G)
The air recirculation works according to the following op-
erating logic:
❒override on (air recirculation always on), indicated by
the LED on the button
Gcoming on and the symbol
íon the display;
❒override off (air recirculation always off and intro-
duction of outside air), indicated by the fact that the
LED in the button goes off and symbol êwill ap-
pear on the display.
These operating conditions are obtained by pressing air
recirculation button G in sequence.
WARNING The engagement of the air recirculation sys-
tem makes it possible to reach the required heating or
cooling conditions faster.
It is however not advised to use it on rainy/cold days as
it would considerably increase the possibility of the win-
dows steaming up, especially if the climate control com-
pressor is off.
The recirculation is forced off (i.e. air is introduced from
the outside) when the the outside temperature is cold to
prevent misting up.
It is advisable not to use the air recirculation function when
the outside temperature is low, because the windows
could rapidly steam up.

The pretensioner can be used only once. Go
to a Fiat Dealership to have it replaced af-
ter it has been deployed. See the label inside the
glove box to check the status of the device; go to
a Fiat Dealership when it is time to replace it.
WARNING
Operations which lead to knocks, vibrations
or localised heating (over 100 °C for a max-
imum of six hours) in the area around the
pretensioners may damage or trigger them. These
devices are not affected by vibrations caused by un-
even road surfaces or low obstacles such as kerbs,
etc. Contact a Fiat Dealership for any assistance.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE
SEAT BELTS
The driver is responsible for respecting (and ensuring that
all the other passengers also respect) the local laws in force
regarding the use of seat belts. Always fasten the seat belts
before setting off.
Seat belts must also be worn by expectant mothers: the
risk of injury in the event of an accident is greatly reduced
for them and the unborn child if they are wearing a seat
belt. Pregnant women must position the lower part of the
belt very low down so that it passes over the hips and
under the abdomen (see fig. 113).
LOAD LIMITERS
(for versions/markets where provided)
To increase passenger safety, the front and rear (for ver-
sions/markets where provided) seat belt reels contain a
load limiter which controls the force acting on the chest
and shoulders during the belt restraining action in the
event of a head-on collision.

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).

WATER IN DIESEL FILTER
(Multijet versions – amber)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the
warning light turns on but should go off after a few
seconds.
The warning light
cturns on when there is water in the
diesel filter. A specific message is displayed on certain ver-
sions.
c
The presence of water in the fuel supply cir-
cuit may cause severe damage to the in-
jection system and irregular engine opera-
tion. If warning light
ccomes on (with a message
on the display on some versions), go to a Fiat Deal-
ership as soon as possible to have the system bled.
Water may have entered the tank if this appears
immediately after refuelling: if this happens, switch
the engine off immediately and contact a Fiat Deal-
ership.

In the event of a puncture caused by for-
eign bodies, it is possible to repair tyres
showing holes on the track or shoulder of
up to 4 mm in diameter.
It is not possible to repair damage to the
tyre sidewall. Do not use the quick repair
kit if the damage has been caused by travelling on
a flat tyre.
WARNING
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
The sealing fluid of the quick tyre repair kit is effective at
external temperatures of between -20 °C and +50 °C.
Do not operate the compressor for longer
than 20 minutes at a time. Risk of over-
heating. The quick repair kit is not suitable for per-
manent repairs. The tyres repaired must therefore
be used only temporarily.
WARNING
Do not dispose of the cylinder and sealant
in the open environment. Dispose of them
according to the national and local laws in
force.
❒instruction booklet (see fig. 142), used to ensure the
correct use of the quick tyre repair kit and then given
to whoever will handle the treated tyre;
❒a pair of protective gloves located in the side part of the
compressor;
❒adapters for inflating different elements.
Hand over the instruction booklet to the
personnel charged with treating the tyre
repaired with the kit.

RUBBER TUBES
As far as the brake system and fuel rubber hoses are con-
cerned, stick closely to the “Scheduled Servicing Plan” in
this section.
Ozone, high temperatures and a prolonged lack of fluid
in the system may cause hardening and cracking of the
tubes, which could result in leaks. Careful inspections are
therefore necessary.
WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WIPERS
(for versions/markets where provided)
BLADES
Regularly clean the rubber part using appropriate
products; TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is recom-
mended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is deformed or worn.
In any event, it is advisable to replace them approximate-
ly once a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce the possibility of dam-
age to the blades:
❒make sure that the rubber part is not frozen to the wind-
screen in sub-zero temperatures. Use an antifreeze
product to release it if required;
❒remove any snow from the glass: in addition to pro-
tecting the blades, this prevents the electric motor from
overheating;
❒do not operate the windscreen and the rear window
wipers on dry glass.
Driving with worn wiper blades is a serious
hazard, because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
