I Temperature increase/decrease control knob.
USING THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
The system can be started in different ways, but it is
advisable to start by pressing the AUTO button and
then turning the knob to set the temperature required
on the display. The system will start running
automatically in this way and the set temperature will be
reached as quickly as possible. The system will adjust
the temperature, the quantity and the distribution of the
air introduced into the passenger compartment and, by
managing the recirculation function, the activation of the
compressor. During fully automatic operation, the only
manual intervention required is the possible activation
of the following functions:
❒Òair recirculation, to keep it always on or off;
❒Zto speed up demisting/defrosting of the front
windows, rear window and door mirrors.During fully automatic system operation, you can change
the set temperature, air distribution and fan speed at
any time by using the relevant buttons or knobs: the
system will automatically change its settings to adjust to
the new requirements. During fully automatic operation
(FULL AUTO), the word FULL will disappear if the air
distribution and/or flow rate and/or engagement of the
compressor and/or recirculation settings are changed.
In this way, the functions will switch from automatic to
manual control until the AUTO button is pressed again.
With one or more functions turned on manually, the
adjustment of the intake air temperature continues to
be managed automatically, except with the compressor
switched off: if this is the case, the temperature of the
air introduced into the passenger compartment cannot
be lower than that of the outside air.

IMPORTANT Before switching the device on, check
that the fuel level is higher than the reserve level.
Otherwise the device could lock and require the
assistance of a Fiat Dealership.
❒Always turn off the heater when refuelling and near
service stations to avoid the risk of explosion or fire
hazards.
❒Do not park the vehicle on inflammable material
such as paper, grass or dry leaves: fire hazard!
❒The temperature near the heater should not exceed
120 °C (e.g. during stove painting in a body shop).
The electronic control unit components may be
damaged at higher temperatures.
❒Whilst the heater is operating with the engine
switched off, it absorbs energy from the battery; the
engine should therefore be left running for a while to
make sure that the battery is properly recharged.
❒To check the coolant level, follow the instructions in
the “Vehicle maintenance” chapter in the “Engine
coolant system fluid” paragraph. The water in the
heating circuit must contain a minimum percentage
of 10% antifreeze.
❒For maintenance and repairs, only contact Fiat
Dealerships and only use genuine spare parts.
F0N0233mfig. 67
MAINTENANCE
Have the additional heater checked regularly at a Fiat
Dealership (and always at the start of every winter).
This will guarantee safe and economic operation of the
heater as well as a long duration.
ADDITIONAL REAR HEATING

ESP SYSTEM
(Electronic Stability Program)
(for versions/markets where provided)
This is an electronic system that controls vehicle
stability in the event of tyre grip loss, helping to maintain
directional control.
The ESP system is therefore particularly useful when
grip conditions of road surfaces change.
The MSR system (adjustment of the engine braking
torque during gear changes) and the HBA system
(automatic increase in the braking pressure during
emergency braking) are present with ESP, ASR and Hill
Holder systems (for versions/markets where provided).
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
This is signalled by the flashing of warning light
áin the
instrument panel, to inform the driver that the vehicle is
in critical stability and grip conditions.
SYSTEM ACTIVATION
The ESP system is automatically activated when the
vehicle is started and cannot be de-activated. BRAKE ASSIST (emergency braking assistance
integrated in ESP)
(for versions/markets where provided)
This system (which cannot be deactivated) recognises
emergency braking conditions according to the speed of
operation of the brake pedal and provides an additional
hydraulic braking pressure to support that provided by
the driver. This allows faster and more powerful
operation of the braking system.
The Brake Assist is deactivated on versions equipped
with ESP, in the event of an ESP system failure (indicated
by warning light
áswitching on together with the
message in the multifunction display, for
versions/markets where provided).
When the ABS intervenes and you notice
the brake pedal pulsating, do not be
afraid to keep the pedal pushed down. This will
help you to stop in the shortest distance
possible, depending on the road conditions.

SIDE BAGS
The vehicle is fitted with front side bags for driver and
passenger (for versions/markets where provided) for
protecting the chest and window bags (for versions/
markets where provided) for protecting front and rear
passengers’ heads.
Side bags (for versions/markets where provided) protect
occupants from side impacts of medium-high severity, by
placing the bag between the occupant and the internal
parts of the side structure of the vehicle. Non-activation
of side bags in other types of collisions (head-on
collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc...) is not an
indication of system malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the bags to inflate
in the event of a side impact. The bags inflate
instantaneously placing themselves between the
occupants’ bodies and the structures which could cause
injury. They deflate immediately afterwards.
Side bags (for versions/markets where provided) are not
a replacement of but complementary to the belts, which
you are recommended to always wear, as specified by
law in Europe and most non-European countries.
FRONT SIDE BAGS – CHEST AND PELVIS
ZONE fig. 157 (for versions/markets where provided)
Housed in the seats’ backrests, they consist of an
instantly-inflating bag designed to protect the occupants’
chest and pelvis zone in the event of a side impact of
medium-high severity. MANUAL DEACTIVATION OF PASSENGER’S
FRONT AIR BAG AND SIDE BAG CHEST
PROTECTION
(for versions/markets where provided)
Whenever a child needs to be carried on the front seat,
the passenger’s front airbag and the Side Bag chest
protection (for versions/markets where provided) must
be deactivated.
The instrument panel warning light
Fwill switch on
constantly until the passenger’s front air bag and Side
Bag (chest protection) are reactivated (for versions/
markets where provided).
To deactivate the passenger’s front air
bag and the side bag (chest protection)
(for versions/markets where provided), refer to
paragraphs “Digital display” and “Multifunction
display” in section “Dashboard and controls”.

PROCEDURE FOR
Proceed as follows:
❒engage the handbrake;
❒put the gear lever into neutral;
❒turn the ignition key to MAR-ON: the warning lights
mand Yon 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;
❒press the clutch pedal all the way down without
touching the accelerator;
❒turn the ignition key to AVVas soon as the warning
light
mturns off. Waiting too long will waste the
work done by the glow plugs. Release the key as
soon as the engine starts.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return
the ignition key to STOP before repeating starting.
STARTING THE ENGINE
The vehicle is fitted with an electronic engine lock
device: if the engine fails to start, see the paragraph
“The Fiat CODE system” in section “Dashboard and
controls”.
STARTING AND DRIVING
It is dangerous to let the engine run in
enclosed spaces. The engine consumes
the oxygen and discharges carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
WARNING
In the first period of use, we recommend
avoiding excessive stress on the car (for
instance excessive acceleration, extended
travel at maximum speed, sudden braking etc.).
When the engine is switched off never
leave the key into the ignition switch to
prevent useless current absorption from
draining the battery.
Remember that the brake servo and
power steering are not operational until
the engine has been started, therefore much
effort than usual is required on the brake pedal
and steering wheel.
