Deactivation of the programmed activation time
fig. 65
To delete the programmed activation time, press button
6 briefly: the display lighting will go off and the number 3
relating to the preselected time will disappear.
Recall of one of the programmed activation
times fig. 66
Press the button 6 as many times as necessary until the
number 3 corresponding to the desired programmed
activation time appears on the display. After 10 seconds,
the time will disappear from the display and remain
stored and the number 3 will light up in the display.
IMPORTANT The preselected activation time can be
changed or deleted by following the above instructions.
Switching the heating system off
Deactivation of the system, depending on the type of
activation (automatic or manual), may be:
❒automatic,at the end of the preset activation time
(60 minutes with lighting of the red display);
❒manualpressing the “immediate heating” button on
the timer again (flame button 1).
In both cases the heating warning light and the display
lighting go out and the passenger compartment heater
unit fan and the combustion stop.
F0N0155mfig. 66
The fluid circulation pump continues to work for
around two minutes to dissipate as much heat as
possible from the heater; the heater can be turned back
on during this stage.
The heater burns fuel in the same way
as the engine, though to a lesser extent.
To prevent poisoning and asphyxiation, the
supplementary heater must never be turned on,
even for short periods, in closed environments
such as a garage or workshops without
extraction fans for the exhaust gases.
WARNING
IMPORTANT When parked the heater switches off
when the battery voltage is low to allow the engine to
be started up.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter,
integral with the exhaust system, that physically traps
particulates present in the exhaust gases of diesel
engines.
The diesel particulate filter has been adopted to
eliminate almost all particulates in compliance with
current/future legal regulations.
During normal use of the vehicle, the engine
management control unit records a set of data (travel
time, type of route, temperatures, etc.) and it will
then calculate how much particulate has been trapped
by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps particulate, it should be
regenerated (cleaned) at regular intervals by burning
carbon particles.
The regeneration procedure is controlled automatically
by the engine management control unit according to the
filter conditions and vehicle use conditions.
There may be a limited increase in the engine idle speed
during the regeneration, a limited increase in fumes and
high temperatures at the exhaust. These are not faults;
they do not impair vehicle performance or damage the
environment.
If the dedicated message is displayed, refer to the
“Warning lights and messages” section.PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The following devices are used for reducing diesel fuel
engine emissions:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system (E.G.R.);
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF).
The diesel particulate filter (DPF)
reaches high temperatures during
operation. Therefore do not therefore park the
vehicle on inflammable materials (grass, dry
leaves, pine needles, etc.): fire hazard.
WARNING
The catalytic converter also reaches
high temperatures during normal
operation. Do not park the car on grass, dry
leaves, pine needles or other flammable
material: fire hazard.

F0N0078mfig. 184
Changes or repairs to the electrical
system (electric control units) carried
out incorrectly and without due consideration
for the technical specifications of the system
can lead to malfunctioning and generate a fire
hazard.
WARNING
Halogen lamps contain gas under
pressure. Their breaking can cause
scattering of glass fragments.
WARNING
C Tubular bulbs: release them from their contacts to
remove.
D-E Halogen bulbs: to remove the bulb, release the clip
holding the bulb in place.
IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface might be
slightly misted: this should not be considered irregular
rather a natural phenomenon due to low temperature
and the air humidity level. Misting will disappear as soon
as the headlights are turned on. The presence of drops
inside the headlights indicates infiltration of water.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
BULB TYPES fig. 184
Various types of bulbs are fitted to your vehicle.
A Glass bulbs: clipped into position. Pull to extract.
B Bayonet type bulbs: to remove this type of bulb from
its holder, press the bulb and turn it anticlockwise.

CHECKING FLUID LEVELS
fig. 221 – 100 Multijet versions
fig. 222 – 120 Multijet – 130 Multijet versions
Never smoke while
working in the engine
compartment: gas and
inflammable vapours may be
present, with the risk of fire.
WARNING
Be careful, when
topping up not to
confuse the various
types of fluids: they are all
incompatible with one another
and could seriously damage the
vehicle.
1. Engine coolant fluid
2. Power steering fluid
3. Windscreen washer fluid
4. Brake fluid
5. Engine oil
