senger or rear passenger zones to the
driver’s zone;
❒…air recirculation, to keep it always
on or off;
❒-to speed up demisting/defrosting of
windscreen, side windows, rear window
and door mirrors;
❒(to demist/defrost the heated rear
window and the external rearview

During completely automatic system op-
eration, you can vary the set temperature,
the air distribution and the fan speed us-
ing the corresponding buttons or knobs
at any time: the system will automatically
change settings to adapt to the new re-
quest.
During fully automatic operation (FULL
AUTO), the word FULLwill dissapear
if the air distribution, air speed, compres-
sor and/or recirculation settings are
changed. In this way, the functions will
switch from automatic to manual control until AUTOis pressed again. The fan
speed is the same in all the zones of the
passenger compartment.
With on or more manually set functions,
the introduced air temperature is still
managed automatically by the system, ex-
cept for when the compressor is off: in the
case, the air introduced into the passen-
ger compartment cannot be cooler than
the outside air.

Turn the knobs clock-
wise or anticlockwise to
turn the temperature up
or down in the front left
zone (knob N) and the
right zone (knob H) of
the passenger compart-
ment respectively.
The system manages two passenger com-
partment zones: the driver and passen-
ger can therefore select different tem-
peratures. The maximum difference be-
tween the two zones is 7°C.
The set temperature is shown on the dis-
play near the knobs.Press A(MONO) to automatically align
the temperature in the front passenger
zone to the driver’s side temperature. The
same temperature can be set in both
zones by turning knob N on driver’s side.
This function is used to adjust the tem-
perature in the passenger compartment
when the driver only is in the car.
To go back to separate air and tempera-
ture distribution in the two zones of the
passenger compartment, simply turn the

Air distribution
buttons
(I-M)
Press these buttons to
manually set one of the
five possible air distribu-
tion patterns on the left
and on the right side of
the passenger compart-
ment:
▲air flow to the windscreen and front
side window vents to demist or de-
frost them;
˙air flow at central and side dash-
board vents to ventilate the chest
and the face during the hot season;
▼air flow to the front and rear foot
well vents. Thanks to the natural ten-
dency of hot air to spread upwards,
this distribution pattern allows to
warm the passenger compartment
up as quickly as possible, providing
an immediate feeling of warmth.
˙
▼Air flow between foot well vents
(hotter air) and central and side
dashboard vents (cooler air). This
distribution mode is particularly use-
ful in spring and autumn on a sunny
day.
▲
▼Air flow distributed between foot
well vents and windscreen and front
side window defrosting/demisting
vents. This allows an adequate
warming of the passenger compart-
ment and prevents the windows
from misting up.
The set distribution is shown by the cor-
responding LEDs on the selected buttons.
When the combined function is on, press
a button to activate the corresponding
functions along with the settings. If the
button corresponding to a previously ac-
tive button is pressed, the function is
turned off and the corresponding LED will
go out.
To restore automatic air distribution con-
trol after a manual adjustment, press but-
ton AUTO.
Air distribution is automatically aligned on
driver and passenger side when the driver
selects air distribution towards the wind-
screen. The passenger can select a differ-
ent distribution by pressing the corre-
sponding buttons afterwards.

ABS SYSTEM
If you have never driven a vehicle with
ABS before, it is advisable to perform a
few tests on slippery ground, naturally in
conditions of safety and respecting the
Highway Code of the country where you
are driving. Read the following informa-
tion carefully.
The car is fitted with an ABS braking sys-
tem, which prevents the wheels from lock-
ing when braking, makes the most of road
grip and gives the best control when
emergency braking under difficulty road
conditions.
System is completed by EBD (Electronic
Braking force Distribution), which dis-
tributes the braking action between front
and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT The braking system needs
to settle for approximately 500 km: dur-
ing this time, avoid sudden, repeated and
prolonged braking.ABS SYSTEM INTERVENTION
Intervention of the ABS is detected by a
slight pulsing of the brake pedal accom-
panied by noise: such an event indicates
that you need to adjust your speed to the
type of road on which you are travelling.
When the ABS intervenes it means that
you are approaching the grip limit be-
tween tyres and road: slow down to ex-
ploit all the available grip.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
ABS failure
ABS failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning light
>on the instrument pan-
el together with the dedicated message on
the multifunctional display (where pro-
vided), (see section “Warning lights and
messages”). In the case, the braking sys-
tem will work as normal without the ex-
tra potentials offered by the ABS system.
Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat Deal-
ership to have the system checked.EBD failure
ABS failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning light >and xon the instru-
ment panel together with the dedicated
message on the multifunctional display
(where provided), (see section “Warning
lights and messages”). In this case, the rear
wheels may suddenly lock and the vehi-
cle may swerve when braking sharply. Dri-
ve carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership
to have the system checked.
When the ABS intervenes it
means that you are ap-
proaching the grip limit between tyres
and road: slow down to exploit all the
available grip.
WARNING
The ABS exploits the tyre-
road grip at the best, but it
cannot improve it; you should there-
fore take every care when driving on
slippery surfaces without taking un-
necessary risks.
WARNING
When the ABS cuts in, and
you feel the brake pedal pul-
sating, do not remove your foot, but
keep it pressed; in doing so you will
stop in the shortest amount of space
possible under the current road con-
ditions.

DUALDRIVE ELECTRIC
POWER STEERING
The car is provided with an electric pow-
er steering system which only works with
the key at MARand the engine running.
The system called “Dualdrive” allows to
customise the effort required to turn the
steering wheel according to driving con-
ditions.
ON/OFF (CITY function)
Press CITY fig. 126in the central part of
the dashboard to turn the function on and
off.
The CITYwarning light on the instru-
ment panel will light up when the function
is on; in other versions, the message
CITYwill appear on the reconfigurable
multifunctional display.
With the CITYfunction the effort on the
steering wheel is lighter, thus facilitating
parking manoeuvres: this is particularly
useful when driving in towns.
fig. 126F0H0716m
Under no circumstances
should aftermarket opera-
tions involving steering system or
steering column modifications (e.g.:
installation of anti-theft device) be
carried out that could badly affect
performance and safety. This also
causes the warranty to become null
and void and results in vehicle non-
compliance with type-approval re-
quirements.
WARNING
The car can be driven using the mechani-
cal steering in case of failure to the elec-
tric power steering system. Take the car
to a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT The steering may before
stiffer when parking requiring a lot of
steering. This is normal and caused by the
electric control motor overheating sys-
tem. No repairs are needed. The power
steering system will start working prop-
erly again the next time the car is used.
Before starting any mainte-
nance operation, stop the
engine and remove the key from the
ignition switch to operate the steer-
ing lock, particularly when the car is
lifted off the ground. If this is not pos-
sible (i.e. if the key must be kept in
the MAR position or the engine must
be kept running), remove the main
electric power steering system fuse.
WARNING
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Electric power steering failure is indicated
by the turning on of warning light
gon
the instrument panel together with the
dedicated message on the reconfigurable
multifunctional display (where provided),
