INTERNAL AIR RECIRCULATION
ACTIVATION
Press button D: 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 in-
troduction 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 steaming up.
WARNING The air recirculation system makes it possi-
ble to reach the required heating or cooling conditions
faster. Do not use the air recirculation function on
rainy/cold days as it would considerably increase the pos-
sibility of the windows misting up.

WARNING Do not apply stickers to the inside of the heat-
ed rear windscreen over the heating filaments to avoid
damage that might cause it to stop working properly. Window demisting
In the event of considerable external moisture and/or rain
and/or large differences in temperature inside and outside
the passenger compartment, perform the following pre-
ventive window demisting procedure:
❒turn off internal air recirculation (button D LED off);
❒turn knob A to -;
❒turn knob B to 2;
❒turn knob C to -with the option of moving to posi-
tion

REGULATING THE FAN SPEED
To ventilate the passenger compartment properly, pro-
ceed as follows:
❒fully open the central and side air diffusers;
❒turn knob A to the blue section;
❒turn knob B to the required speed;
❒turn knob C to ¶;

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

❒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.

Manual selections will always take priority over automat-
ic settings and will be stored until the user switches the
system back to automatic operation by pressing the
AUTO button again, except for when the system inter-
venes for particular safety-related reasons. You can adjust
one function manually without affecting the automatic con-
trol of the others.
The temperature of the air introduced is always controlled
automatically, depending on the temperature set in the dis-
play (except when the system is off or in certain condi-
tions when the compressor is switched off).
The system allows the following parameters and functions
to be set or altered manually: air temperature, fan speed
(continuous variation); air distribution in seven positions;
compressor enablement; fast defrosting/demisting func-
tion; air recirculation; switching off the system.AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL
(for versions/markets, where provided)
GENERAL INFORMATION
The automatic climate control system adjusts the tem-
perature, the quantity and the distribution of the air in the
passenger compartment. The temperature control is based
on the “equivalent temperature”: in other words, the sys-
tem continuously works to keep the comfort level inside
the vehicle constant and to compensate for possible vari-
ations in outside conditions, including the solar radiation
detected by a dedicated sensor. The automatically con-
trolled parameters and functions are:
❒air temperature at the vents;
❒air distribution at the vents;
❒fan speed
(continuous air flow variation);
❒compressor activation
(to cool/dehumidify the air);
❒air recirculation.
All functions may be changed manually. In other words,
you may select one or more functions and change the pa-
rameters as required. Automatic control of the manually
changed functions will be deactivated: the system will on-
ly override your settings for safety related reasons (e.g.
risk of misting up).
