These operating conditions are
obtained by pressing air
recirculation button G in sequence.
IMPORTANT The engagement of
the air recirculation system makes it
possible to reach the required
heating or cooling conditions faster.
It is however inadvisable to use it
on rainy/cold days as it would
considerably increase the possibility
of the windows misting inside,
especially if the climate control
compressor is off.
To prevent the windows from
misting up, the recirculation is
forced off (i.e. air is drawn in from
the outside) when the outside
temperature is cold.
It is advisable not to use the air
recirculation function when the
outside temperature is low to
prevent the windows from rapidly
misting up.Climate control

Press the button when the LED is
off to restore automatic system
control of compressor activation.
The icon will light up on the display.
The system will switch recirculation
off when the compressor is
switched off to prevent windows
from misting up. Although the
system is capable of maintaining
the required temperature, the word
FULL will disappear from the
display. If, on the other hand, it is
no longer capable of maintaining
the temperature, the letters flash
and the word AUTO goes out.
IMPORTANT With the compressor
off, it is not possible to introduce air
cooler than ambient temperature
into the passenger compartment.
Furthermore, in certain conditions,
the windows could mist up rapidly
because the air is not dehumidified.The system remembers that the
compressor has been switched off,
even after the engine has stopped.
To restore automatic compressor
control, press thebutton again
(in this case, the system will only
work as a heater) or press the
AUTO button.
With the compressor switched off,
if the outside temperature is higher
than the one set, the system is
not capable of satisfying this
request. This is signalled by the
target temperature flashing, after
which the word AUTO goes out.
With the climate control
compressor off, the fan speed can
be set to zero manually (no bar
shown).
With the compressor enabled and
the engine started, the fan speed
may be reduced to the minimum
setting (only one bar shown).

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.
53.
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;
MODEF

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

❒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 heater is
equipped with a thermal limiter that
cuts off combustion in the case of
overheating due to insufficient
coolant/coolant leaks. In this case,
after repairing the fault in the
cooling system and/or topping up
the fluid, press the program
selection button before turning the
heater back on.
The heater can turn off
spontaneously due to misfiring after
start-up or because the flame
goes out during operation. In this
case, carry out the turning off
procedure and try to turn the heater
back on. If it still does not work,
consult a Fiat Dealership.Activation of the
heating system
When an automatic climate control
system is present, the control
unit sets the air temperature and
distribution when the heater is
turned on from the park position.
When a manual heater/climate
control is present, to obtain
maximum heater efficiency, check
that the passenger compartment
heating/ventilation temperature
adjustment knob is in the 'hot air'
position.
To prioritise passenger
compartment pre-heating, set the
air distribution knob to the
position.
To prioritise windscreen demisting,
set the air distribution knob to
position.
To obtain both functions, set the air
distribution knob to
position.
43

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 3 or 8.
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.
