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. 60
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.

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. 61
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
(Panorama and Combi)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Panorama and Combi versions have a main heating
system plus an additional one (on request) with the

nut at blue sector) and air at ambient temperature
will come out of the rear footwell vents (located
under the seats in the 2
nd–3rdrow for Panorama
versions and the grille on the left wheel arch side for
Combi versions);
❒Turn the knob D to the maximum heating position
(ring nut at red sector) and warm air will emerge

ADDITIONAL REAR CLIMATE CONTROL
(Panorama and Combi)
(for versions/markets, where provided)

a main heating/air conditioning system plus an additional
system (available on request) with controls in the roof
lining above the second row of seats, fig. 61.
Button F-fig. 62 in the control panel must be enabled for
operation; the air conditioning only works if the main air
conditioner is on.
❒When the knob D is placed in the fully cold position
(ring nut in blue sector) cold air comes out of the
vents in the ceiling.
❒Turn the knob D to the maximum heating position
(ring nut at red sector) and warm air will emerge
(with the engine warmed up), from the rear footwell
outlets (located under the seats in the 2
nd–3rdrow
for Panorama versions and the grille on the left
wheel arch side for Combi versions).
❒When the knob D is in an intermediate position, air
will be distributed between the vents in the roof and
the rear footwell outlets to alter the temperature.
IMPORTANT If the compressor on the main air
conditioner control is turned on (operation of button
E), even if the additional air conditioner fan is in position
0, the 1
stspeed will automatically be activated to
prevent ice formation, with possible damage to the
component.

“Smart washing” function
Pull the lever towards the steering wheel (unstable
position) to operate the windscreen washer jet, fig. 71.
Keeping the lever pulled for more than half a second,
with just one movement it is possible to operate the
washer jet and the wiper at the same time.
The wipers stop operating four strokes after releasing
the lever.
A stroke 5 seconds later completes the wiping
operation. A: windscreen wipers off;
B: intermittent operation.
With the lever in position B, turn ring nut F to select
one of four different speeds for the intermittent
operation mode:
,= very slow intermittent operation
-- = slow intermittent operation
--- = medium intermittent operation
---- = fast intermittent operation
C: continuous slow operation;
D: continuous fast operation;
E: temporary fast operation (unstable position).
Temporary fast operation in position E is limited to the
time that the lever is manually held in this position. The
lever returns to position A when it is released,
automatically stopping the windscreen wipers.
IMPORTANT Replace the wiper blades as specified in
the “Maintenance and care” section.
Never use the windscreen wipers to
remove layers of snow or ice from the
windscreen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wipers may be subjected to excessive
stress and the motor protection which prevents
operation for a few seconds may trip. If the
operation is not restored, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
