NOTE There is an interior air
temperature sensor (A) in the illustrated
position. Never place anything on top of
the sensor, since doing so will prevent it
from functioning properly.
NOTE In extreme cold, the air
conditioning control panel screen may
operate sluggishly. This does not
indicate a problem. It will disappear
when the vehicle interior temperature
rises to a normal temperature.

“Changing the temperature unit”.
NOTE While the engine coolant
temperature is low, the temperature of
the air from the heater will be cool/cold
until the engine warms up, even if you
have selected warm air with the switch.
To prevent the windscreen and
windows from fogging up, the ventilator
mode will be changed to “

NOTE When the temperature is set to
the highest or the lowest, the air
selection and the air conditioner will be
automatically changed as follows. Also,
if the air selection is operated manually
after an automatic changeover, manual
operation will be selected.
Quick Heating(When the
temperature is set to the highest
setting): outside air will be introduced
and the air conditioner will stop.
Quick Cooling(When the
temperature is set to the lowest
setting): inside air will be recirculated
and the air conditioner will operate.
The settings described above are the
factory settings.
The air selection and air conditioning
switches can be customised (function
setting changed), and the automatic
switching of outside air and the air
conditioner according to operating
conditions can be changed as desired.
For further information, we recommend
you to consult a Fiat Dealership.
Refer to “Customising the air
conditioning switch” and to
“Customising the air selection”.
Synchronized mode and dual mode
The driver’s side and the passenger’s
side temperature can be controlled
independently. At this time, the “DUAL”
indicator will be shown in the display
(A).Synchronized mode
If the driver’s side temperature control
switch is pressed, the passenger’s side
temperature will also be controlled to
the same setting temperature as the
driver’s side.
Dual mode
If the passenger’s side temperature
control switch is pressed under
synchronized mode, the system will
switch to dual mode. In dual mode, the
driver’s side and the passenger’s side
temperature can be set separately by
using each temperature control switch.
Press the AUTO switch to return to
synchronized mode.
Air selection switch
To change the air selection, simply
press the air selection switch.
Outside air(Indicator lamp (A) is
OFF): outside air is introduced into the
passenger compartment.
Recirculated air(Indicator lamp (A)
is ON): air is recirculated inside the
passenger compartment.
68)
NOTE Normally, use the outside
position to keep the windscreen and
side windows clear and quickly remove
fog or frost from the windscreen. If high
cooling performance is desired, or if the
outside air is dusty or otherwise
contaminated use the recirculation
position. Switch to the outside position
periodically to increase ventilation so
that the windows do not become
fogged up.
When the engine coolant temperature
rises to a certain level, the air selection
is automatically switched to the
recirculation position and the indicator
lamp (A) comes on. At this time, the
system will not switch to the outside
position even if the air selection switch
is pressed.

For ordinary demisting1. Set the air selection switch to the
outside position.
2. Set the MODE switch to the
position.
3. Select your desired blower speed by
pressing the blower speed selection
switch.
4. Select your desired temperature by
pressing the temperature control
switch.
5. Press the air conditioning switch.
For quick demisting1. Press the demister switch to change
to the
position.
2. Set the blower to the maximum
speed.
3. Set the temperature to the highest
position.
NOTE To demist effectively, direct the
air flow from the side ventilators
towards the door windows.
Do not set the temperature to the max.
cool position. Cool air will blow against
the window glasses and prevent
demisting.
For vehicles with the Start&Stop
system, if the demister switch is
pressed, the Start&Stop system will not
operate and the engine will not stop
automatically even if the vehicle is
stopped. This is to ensure that good
visibility is maintained.
IMPORTANT OPERATION
TIPS FOR THE AIR
CONDITIONING
Park the vehicle in the shade.
Parking in the hot sun will make the
vehicle inside extremely hot, and it will
require more time to cool the interior. If
it is necessary to park in the sun, open
the windows for the first few minutes of
air conditioning operation to expel the
hot air.
Close the windows when the air
conditioning is in use. The entry of
outside air through open windows will

reduce the cooling efficiency.
