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.
WARNING
2)The air conditioning system uses R134a
or R1234yf refrigerant compatible with
the regulations in force in the countries
where the vehicle is sold. When charging,
only use the gas indicated on the
dedicated plate in the engine compartment
. The use of other coolants affects the
efficiency and condition of the system. The
lubricant used for the compressor is also
strictly linked to the type of cooling gas,
please refer to a Fiat Dealership.
ADDITIONAL
HEATER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
On some versions, an additional heater
is also present beneath the driver's
seat. The fan for this heater is operated
by means of the button F located on
the control panel fig. 75.
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.
35)
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.

manualpressing the “immediate
heating” button on the timer again
(flame button 6).
The heating warning light and the
display light are switched off. The fluid
circulation pump keeps working for
approximately two minutes: the heater
can be switched back on again during
this time.
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.
ADDITIONAL REAR
HEATING (Panorama and
Combinato)
(for versions/markets, where provided)

SEAT BELTS
IN BRIEF
All the seats in the vehicle are
equipped with seatbelts with three
anchoring points and a retractor. The
reel mechanism operates locking
the belt in the event of sharp braking
or strong deceleration due to an
impact. This allows the belt strap to
slide freely and to adapt to the body
of the occupant. In the event of an
accident, the belt will lock to reduce
the risk of impact inside the
passenger compartment or of being
projected outside the vehicle. The
driver is responsible for respecting,
and ensuring that all the other
occupants of the vehicle also
respect, the local laws in force in
relation to the use of the seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
setting off.
USING THE SEAT BELTS
The belt should be worn keeping the
torso straight and rested against the
backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold tongue A
fig. 105 and insert it into buckle B,
until it clicks into place.On removal, if the belt jams, let it rewind
for a short stretch, then pull it out
again without jerking.
Press the button C fig. 105 to release
the belt. Guide the belt while it is
rewinding to prevent it from twisting.
The retractor may lock up when the
vehicle is parked on a steep slope: this
is perfectly normal.
Furthermore, the reel mechanism locks
the belt if it is pulled sharply or in the
event of sudden braking, collisions and
high-speed bends.
81)
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
(For versions/markets, where provided)
To adjust, press button A fig. 106 and
raise or lower the handle B.
82) 83)
Always adjust the seat belt height to the
passenger's body. This precaution
may considerably reduce the risk of
injury in the event of a collision.
Correct adjustment is obtained when
the belt passes approximately half way
between the shoulder and the neck.
Seat belt with retractor for front
central place on bench seat
The two-seater front bench is equipped
with an built-in seat belt (retractor on
seat) with three anchorage points
for the central position fig. 107.

WARNING
81)Never press button C fig. 105when
travelling.
82)The height of the seat belts must be
adjusted with the vehicle stationary.
83)After adjustment, always check that the
cursor to which the ring is fastened is
locked in one of the preset positions.
Release the grip and push downwards to
enable the locking device to click if the grip
has not been released in one of the
possible positions.
SBR SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
The vehicle is provided with a system
called SBR (SeatBelt Reminder),
composed of a buzzer which, along
with the flashing
warning light
on the instrument panel, warns the
driver that their seat belt or (for
versions/markets, where provided)
the passenger's seat belt is not
correctly fastened.
For permanent deactivation, contact a
Fiat Dealership.
With multifunction display, the SBR
system can also be reactivated through
the set-up menu.
PRE-TENSIONERS
To increase the protective efficiency of
the front seat belts, the vehicle is fitted
with pretensioners. These devices, in
the event of a head-on crash or side
impact, rewind the seat belts a few
centimetres. In this way, they ensure
that the belts fit tightly to the wearer
before the restraining action begins.
It is evident that the pretensioners have
been activated when the belt withdraws
toward the retractor.
A slight discharge of smoke may be
produced during the activation of the
pretensioner which is not harmful and
does not involve any fire hazard.
The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or lubrication. Any
changes to its original conditions will
invalidate its efficiency. If, due to
unusual natural events (floods, sea
storms, etc.), the device has been
affected by water or mud, contact a
Fiat Dealership to have it replaced.
84)
13)
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest
degree of protection from the action of
the pretensioner, wear the seat belt
tight to the chest and pelvis.
