CONTROLS
Air temperature
adjustment knob (I)
Turn the knob either clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or lower
the requested temperature in the
passenger compartment.
The set temperature is shown on the
display.
Turn the knob either fully to the right or
fully to the left to the extreme HI or
LO position to turn the maximum
heating or maximum cooling functions
on:
❒HI function (maximum heating): select
by turning the temperature knob
clockwise beyond the maximum
value (32°C).
This function may be used to heat up
the passenger compartment by
exploiting the system's potential to the
full. In this event, the system stops
controlling the temperature
automatically and sets the air mixing to
maximum heating. The air speed and
distribution are fixed.
In particular, if the heating fluid is not
sufficiently hot, the maximum fan speed
does not come on straight away in
order to limit the intake of insufficiently
hot air to the passenger compartment.All manual settings will be allowed when
this function is on.
To switch the function off, simply turn
the temperature knob anticlockwise
and set the required temperature.
❒LO function (maximum cooling):
select by turning the temperature
knob anticlockwise beyond the
minimum value (16°C).
This function may be used to cool
down the passenger compartment by
exploiting the system's potential to
the full. In this event, the system stops
controlling the temperature
automatically and sets the air mixing to
maximum cooling. The air speed and
distribution are fixed. All manual
settings will be allowed when this
function is on.
To switch the function off, simply turn
the temperature knob anticlockwise
and set the required temperature.Air distribution buttons
(B)
By pressing these buttons, it is possible
to set one of the seven possible air
distributions manually:
Air flow to the windscreen and front
side window vents to demist or defrost
them.
Air flow to the central and side
dashboard vents to ventilate chest and
face during the hot season.
Air flow to the front and rear footwell
vents. Thanks to the natural tendency
of hot air to rise, this distribution pattern
allows the passenger compartment to
warm up as quickly as possible,
providing an immediate feeling of
warmth.
Air flow distributed between
footwell vents (hotter air) and central
and side dashboard vents (cooler air).
This distribution mode is particularly
useful in spring and autumn on sunny
days.
Air flow distributed between the
footwell vents and the windscreen
and front side window defrosting/
demisting vents. This allows an
adequate warming of the passenger
compartment and prevents the
windows from misting up.

REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
IN BRIEF
Refuel the vehicle exclusively with
dieselfor motor vehicles in
compliance with European
specification EN590.
Stop the engine before refuelling.
OPERATION AT LOW
TEMPERATURES
If the outside temperature is very low,
diesel thickens due to the formation
of paraffin clots with consequent
defective operation of the fuel supply
system.
In order to avoid these problems,
different types of diesel are distributed
according to the season: summer type,
winter type and arctic type (cold/
mountain areas). If refuelling with diesel
fuel whose specifications are not
suitable for the current temperature, it is
advisable to mix TUTELA DIESEL ART
additive in the proportions shown on
the container. Pour the additive into the
tank before the diesel fuel.When using or parking the vehicle for a
long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available diesel fuel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep
the tank over 50% full.
19)
FILLING THE TANK
To fill the tank completely, top-up twice
after the first click of the fuel supply
gun. Further top-ups could cause faults
in the fuel supply system.
FUEL TANK CAP
When refuelling, open Door A fig. 141
located on the left side of the vehicle
therefore unscrew the plug B fig. 141
turning it counter-clockwise.
For versions / markets where provided,
insert the ignition key in the lock of
the cap. Turn the key counter-clockwise
and remove the cap by gripping the
key. Do not remove the key from the
cap during refuelling. During the
operation of refuelling, the cap can be
hung to its appropriate place located on
the door A (fig. 141).
The sealing may cause a slight pressure
increase in the tank. A little breathing
off, while slackening the cap is
absolutely normal.In case of loss or damage to the fuel
tank cap, make sure that the
replacement cap is for the appropriate
vehicle.
Tighten the cap of the fuel tank filler
until you hear a "click". This sound
shows that the cap of the fuel tank filler
is properly tightened.
For versions / markets where provided,
turn the key clockwise until it stops. It
is not necessary to apply an additional
load on the key to complete the
tightening of the cap. Only in the case
where the cap has been tightened
properly, it will be possible to remove
the ignition key from the cap.
After each refuelling, make sure the fuel
filler cap is securely tightened.141F1A5004

IMPORTANT
❒When the gun distributor fuel "snaps"
or interrupts the supply, the tank is
nearly full and you can run two
additional top-ups after shooting
automatic.

Topping for additive Diesel
Emissions AdBlue (UREA)
96)
When refuelling the additive for Diesel
Emissions AdBlue (UREA) with
dispensing gun:
❒park the vehicle on ground level;
❒turn off the engine by turning the key
in the OFF position;
❒open the door to fuel A fig. 141 and
then unscrew and remove the cap C
fig. 141 from the filler neck of UREA;
❒insert the dispensing gun for topping
up UREA in the filler neck;
❒immediately stop filling the tank
UREA if it shows one of the cases
listed below:
- If AdBlue is spilled out of the filler
neck, clean up well the area and
proceed to filling up again;- If during filling the dispensing gun
clicks, it indicates that the UREA tank is
full. Do not proceed with the
replacement, to prevent spillage of
AdBlue (UREA).
❒When you finished topping, remount
cap C fig. 141 on the filler neck
UREA, turning it clockwise until it
stops;
❒turn the key in the pawl starter in the
ON position (no need to start the
engine);
❒wait for the signal on the instrument
panel to power off before moving the
vehicle, the warning light may stay
on for a few seconds to half a
minute. In case of motor start-up and
movement of the vehicle, the
warning sign will remain on for a
longer period of time, but there are
no problems on the engine
functionality. If topping up is done
with the UREA tank empty, you have
to wait two minutes before starting
the vehicle.
When refuelling the additive for Diesel
Emissions AdBlue (UREA) with bottle:
❒park the vehicle on ground level;
❒turn off the engine by turning the key
in the OFF position;❒open the door to fuel A fig. 141 and
then unscrew and remove the cap C
fig. 141 from the filler neck of UREA;
❒screw the bottle of AdBlue (UREA)
into the filler neck until it stops (fig.
142, ref. 1);
❒by pressing the bottom of the bottle
to press the filler pipe, the safety
valve of the bottle unlocks and starts
topping up(fig. 142 ref. 2);
