Air recirculation
on/off button (C)
Air recirculation works
according to the follow-
ing operating logics:
❒forced switching on (inside air recir-
culation always on), indicated by the
turning off of the button led C-fig. 62
and symbol íon the display;
❒function off (air recirculation always
off and introduction of external air),
indicated by the fact that the LED on
the button will go off and symbol
ê
will appear on the display.
These operating conditions are obtained
by pressing Cin sequence.
For safety reasons, the system will auto-
matically turn the recycling function off to
allow the introduction of fresh air after a
certain time.IMPORTANT The air recirculation func-
tion makes it possible to reach the re-
quired 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 con-
trol compressor is off.
Recirculation is forced off (i.e. air is in-
troduced from the outside) when the the
outside temperature is cold to prevent
misting up.
Climate control
compressor on/off
button (B)
Press button
√when
the LED on the button
is on, to turn the climate
control compressor off. The LED will go
out. Press the button when the LED is off
to restore automatically system control
and use of the compressor. The LED will
light up on the button in this case.
The system will switch recirculation off
when the compressor is switched off to
prevent misting up. Although the system
is capable of maintaining the requiredtemperature, the word FULLwill disap-
pear from the display. If on the other
hand the system cannot maintain the
required temperature, the digits will
blink and the word AUTOwill disap-
pear.
IMPORTANT With the compressor off,
it is not possible to introduced air cool-
er than ambient temperature into the
passenger compartment. Furthermore,
in certain conditions, the windows could
mist up rapidly because the air is not
dehumidified.
The switching off of the climate control
compressor remains in storage even
when the engine has been stopped. To
restore automatic compressor control,
press √again (in this case, the system
will only work as a heater) or press
AUTO.
When the compressor is off, if the
external temperature is hotter than the
set temperature and the system cannot
satisfy the request, the digits of the set
temperature will blink for a few seconds
and the message AUTOwill go out.
With climate control compressor off,
the fan speed can be set to zero manual-
ly (no bar shown).
With the compressor on and the engine
started, the fan speed may be reduced to
the minimum setting (only one bar
shown).
It is advisable not to use the
air recirculation function
when the outside temperature is low
to prevent the windows from rapidly
misting up.

The buzzer can be deactivated (until the
next engine stop) as follows:
❒fasten the driver’s seat belt;
❒turn the ignition key to MAR;
❒wait for over 20 seconds and then re-
lease one of the seat belts.
For permanent deactivation, contact the
Fiat Dealership.
The S.B.R. can only be reactivated using
the setup menu (see the “Warning lights
and messages” chapter, “Seat belt remin-
der” paragraph).
For other versions, the system must also
be reactivated by a Fiat Dealership.
ADJUSTING THE FRONT SEAT
BELT HEIGHT
(where provided)
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 regulation is obtained when the
belt passes approximately half way
between the shoulder and the neck.
To adjust, move the grip A-fig. 4of the
locking mechanism either up or down and
at the same time move the ring B to the
most suitable of the allowed positions.
USING THE MIDDLE SEAT BELT
(where provided)
The seat belt is provided with a double
buckle and fastening tab.
To prepare the seat belt for use, extract
the tabs from seat H and P-fig. 5of the
winder and pull the seat belt, making the
webbing run. Avoid twisting and tugging.
Then insert tab G-fig. 6into the buckle
Lwith button M.
Remember that in the event
of a violent collision, back
seat passengers not wearing seat belts
also represent a serious danger for
the front seat passengers.
WARNING
The height of the seat belts
must be adjusted with the
car at a standstill.
WARNING
After adjustment, always
check that the cursor to whi-
ch the ring is fastened is locked in one
of the set 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 pos-
sible positions.

PARKING THE VEHICLE
Proceed as follows:
❒Stop the engine and engage the hand-
brake;
❒Engage a gear (on a slope, engage fir-
st gear if the vehicle is faced uphill or
reverse if it is faced downhill) and lea-
ve the wheels steered.
If the car is parked on a steep slope, it is
further advisable to block the wheels with
a wedge or stone. Avoid parking for a long
time with one wheel on the pavement or
steered against the kerb. Do not leave the

cient to lock the car on flat terrain, while
nine or ten may be necessary on a steep
slope with the car loaded.
IMPORTANT If this is not the case, con-
tact Fiat Dealership to have the handbrake
adjusted.When the handbrake lever is pulled up
and the ignition key is at MAR, the in-
strument panel warning light
xwill turn
on.
Proceed as follows to release the hand-
brake:
❒slightly lift the handbrake and press re-
lease button A-fig. 1;
❒hold the button Apressed and lower
the lever; the warning light
xon the
instrument panel will go out.

this operation to prevent the car from
moving accidentally.
IMPORTANT if the handbrake lever tends
to reach end of stroke (groove on the
central tunnel), go to a Fiat dealership to
have the handbrake adjusted correctly.fig. 1F0H0149m
Never leave children unat-
tended in the car. Always re-
move the ignition key when leaving
the car and take it out with you.
