SYSTEM SERVICING
In winter, the climate control system
must be turned on at least once a
month for about 10 minutes. Before
summer, have the system checked at a
Fiat Dealership.
NoteThe system uses R134a coolant
which does not pollute the environment
in the event of accidental leakage.
Never use R12 fluid, which is not
compatible with the system
components.
AUTOMATIC
CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM(for versions/markets, where provided)
GENERAL INFORMATION
The automatic climate control system
adjusts the temperature, 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 system continuously works
to keep the comfort level inside the
vehicle constant and to compensate for
possible variations in outside
conditions, including the sun's rays
detected by a dedicated sensor.
The automatically controlled
parameters and functions are:
❒air temperature at the vents;
❒air distribution at the vents;
❒fan speed (continuous variation of the
air flow);
❒compressor activation (for cooling/
dehumidifying the air);
❒air recirculation.All functions may be changed manually.
In other words, you may select one or
more functions and change the
parameters as required. Automatic
control of the manually changed
functions will be suspended: the
system will override your settings only
for safety-related reasons (e.g. risk
of misting).
Manual selections will always take
priority over automatic settings and will
be stored until the user switches the
system back to automatic operation by
pressing the AUTO button again except
for the cases in which the system will
intervene for particular, safety-related
reasons.
You can adjust one function manually
without affecting the automatic control
of the others.
The temperature of the air sent is
always controlled automatically,
depending on the temperature set in
the display (except when the system is
off or in certain conditions when the
compressor is switched off).

INDEPENDENT
ADDITIONAL
HEATER(for versions/markets, where provided)
The vehicle is available, on request,
with two different independent heaters:
one fully automatic, the other which
can be programmed.
AUTOMATIC VERSION
The additional heater is turned on in
automatic mode when the engine
is started and the required outside
temperature and coolant conditions are
present. Deactivation is always
automatic.
21)
IMPORTANT During periods with low
outdoor temperatures when the device
cuts in, check that the fuel level is
always higher than the reserve level.
Otherwise the device could lock and
require the assistance of a Fiat
Dealership.
PROGRAMMABLE
VERSION
The additional heater operates
completely independently of engine
operation and allows the following:❒heating the passenger compartment
with the engine off
❒defrosting the windows;
❒heat the engine coolant and then the
engine itself prior to starting.
The system consists of:
❒a diesel burner for heating the water
with an exhaust silencer for the
combustion gases;
❒a metering pump connected to the
reservoir pipes for supplying the
burner;
❒a heat exchanger connected to the
engine cooling system pipes;
❒a control unit connected to the
passenger compartment
heating/ventilation system to allow
automatic operation;
❒an electronic control unit for
controlling and adjusting the built-in
burner;
❒a digital timer fig. 54 for turning the
heater on manually or for
programming the time that it comes
on.The additional heater (during winter)
heats, maintains the temperature of and
circulates engine coolant for a set time
period in order to ensure optimum
engine and passenger compartment
conditions at engine start-up.
The heater can operate automatically
when programmed with a digital timer
or manually by pressing the 'immediate
heating' button on the timer.
After heater activation, whether
programmed or manually, the electronic
control unit operates the coolant pump
and turns on the burner in accordance
with pre-set, controlled procedures.
The circulation pump output is also
controlled by the electronic control unit
in order to minimise the initial heating
time.
When the system operates, the control
unit turns on the passenger
compartment heater unit fan at the
second speed.
The thermal power of the boiler is
regulated automatically by the
electronic control unit depending on the
temperature of the engine coolant.

IMPORTANT The programmed
switching on time can be altered or
cancelled by following the instructions
given previously.
Operation duration
setting
Hold the button pressed. At the same
time press button 3 or 8.
The time and warning light 7 are
displayed.
Hold button 4 pressed again. At the
same time press button 3 or 8.
The preset activation duration is
displayed and warning light 9 or 2
flashes.
Set the activation duration with button
3or8.
The set activation duration is stored as
soon as the text in the display
disappears, or pressing button 4.
Switching the heating
system off
Deactivation of the system, depending
on the type of activation (automatic
or manual), may be:
❒automaticwhen the programmed
duration is over; when the set time
is over, the display switches off.❒manualpressing the “immediate
heating” button on the timer again
(flame button 6).
In both cases, the heating warning light,
the display lighting and the passenger
compartment heater fan go off and
burning stops.
The fluid circulation pump continues to
work for around two minutes to
dissipate as much heat as possible; the
heater can be turned back on during
this stage.
22)
IMPORTANT The parking heater goes
off when battery voltage is low to allow
the vehicle to be started.
IMPORTANT Before turning on the
device, ensure that the fuel level is
above the reserve. 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
oven 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, "Engine
coolant system fluid" paragraph. The
water in the heating circuit must
contain a minimum percentage of
10% antifreeze.
❒For maintenance and repairs, consult
only a Fiat Dealership and use only
original parts.
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.

SPEEDOMETER (speed
indicator)
Indicator A shows the speed of the car.
REV COUNTER
Indicator C shows the engine revs.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection
control system gradually shuts off
the flow of fuel when the engine
is over-revving, resulting in a gradual
loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev
counter may indicate a gradual or
sudden increase of the speed.
This is normal and does not indicate a
fault. It may be caused, for example, by
the activation of the climate control
system or fan. In these cases, a slow
change in revs is used to protect the
battery charge.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
Needle E shows the amount of fuel left
in the tank.
E - tank empty.
F - tank full (see the description in
paragraph "Vehicle refuelling" in this
chapter).The warning light on the indicator
switches on when there are about
10-12 litres of fuel (for versions with
tank capacity 90-120 l) or 10 l (for
versions with tank capacity 60 l)
remaining in the tank.
Do not travel with the tank nearly empty
to prevent damaging the catalytic
converter.
IMPORTANT The needle will point to E
and the warning light will flash to
indicate a fault in the system. If this is
the case, go to a Fiat Dealership to
have the system checked.
IMPORTANT It is not advisable to
activate the additional Webasto heater
in reserve conditions.
ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE
INDICATOR
The needle D shows the temperature of
the engine coolant and starts
supplying indications when the fluid
temperature exceeds approx. 50°C. In
normal use, the needle could assume
different positions within the scale,
depending on the usage conditions.
C - Low engine coolant temperature.
H - High engine coolant temperature.The warning light on the indicator may
light up (and a message on the display
may appear on certain versions) to
indicate that the coolant fluid
temperature is too high; in this case,
stop the engine and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
19)
ENGINE OIL LEVEL
GAUGE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The gauge provides a graphic indication
of the level of oil in the engine.
When the ignition key is turned to
MAR-ON, the display fig. 145 - fig. 146
shows the oil level by lighting up /
switching off five symbols.
The gradual switching off of the
symbols indicates a decreasing oil level.145 - Versions with multifunction display
F1A0354
108
KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
Page 113 of 367
Four or five symbols light up to indicate
a sufficient level of oil in the sump. If
the fifth symbol is not lit, this does not
indicate a fault or that insufficient oil
is present in the sump.
If the oil level is lower than the minimum
required value, the display shows a
dedicated message indicating minimum
engine oil level and the need for a
top-up.
IMPORTANT To find out the correct oil
quantity, always check using the
dipstick (see paragraph “Checking
levels” in the section “Maintenance and
care”).
After a few seconds, the symbol display
indicating the amount of engine oil
disappears and:❒When the next scheduled servicing
intervention is approaching, the
time to the next service is displayed
and the õ symbol lights up on the
display. When the service date is
reached, the display shows a
dedicated message;
❒Later on, if the time for changing the
engine oil is getting close, the
distance until the next oil change will
appear on the display. When the
service interval has expired a
dedicated warning will be shown on
the display.
IMPORTANT
19) If the needle for the engine
coolant temperature reaches the
red area, stop the engine
immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
DISPLAY(for versions/markets, where provided)
The vehicle may be equipped with a
multifunction display or with a
reconfigurable multifunction display,
able to display information that is useful
and necessary when driving.
