LOOKING AFTER THE SYSTEM
Run the climate control system for at least
10 minutes every month during the win-
ter. Have the system inspected at a Fiat
Dealership before the summer.
The system uses R134a re-
frigerant fluid which does not
harm the environment in the
event of accidental leakage.
Never use R12 fluid which is not com-
patible with the system components.IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the re-
quired “heating” or “cooling”
conditions
faster.
Do not use the air recirculation function
on rainy/cold days as it would
consider-
ably increase the possibility of the win-
dows misting inside. AIR RECIRCULATION
Move slider Dto position to switch
internal air recirculation on.
It is advisable to switch internal air
recir-
culation on while standing in queues or in
tunnels to prevent the introduction of pol-
luted air. Do not use the function for a
long time,
particularly if there are many
occupants on board, to prevent the win-
dows from misting up.

USING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
The system can be started in different
ways,
but it is advisable to start by press-
ing the AUTObutton and then turning
the knobs to set the temperature required
on the display.
The system will start running automatically
in this way and the set comfortable tem-
perature will be reached as quickly as pos-
sible. The system will adjust the temper-
ature, the quantity and the distribution of
the air introduced into the passenger com-
partment and will manage the recircula-
tion function and the compressor.
Manual intervention is only required for
the following functions during fully auto-
matic operation.
air recirculation, to keep the
function always either on or off;
to speed up demisting/defrosting of
windscreen, rear window and exter-
nal rearview mirrors;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 disappear
if the air distribution, air speed,
compres-
sor and/or recirculatio n settin gs are
changed. In this way, the functions will
switch from automatic to manual control
until AUTOis pressed again. With on or
more manually set functions, the intro-
duced air temperature is still managed au-
tomatically by the system, except for when
the compressor is off: in the case,
the air
introduced into the passenger compart-
ment cannot be cooler than the outside
air.Air temperature adjustment
knob (I)
Turn the knob either clockwise or anti-
clockwise to increase or lower the re-
quested temperature in the
passenger
compartment. The set temperature is
shown on the display.
Turn the knob either all to the right
or
all to the left to the extreme HIor LO
position to use the maximum heating or
maximum cooling functions:
HI function (maximum heating):
select by turning the temperature knob
clockwise over the maximum value
(32 °C).
This function may be used to heat up the
passenger compartment exploiting the
system potential to the maximum. In this
condition, the system stop controlling
temperature automatically and sets air
mixing to maximum heating. The air speed
and distribution are fixed.
Specifically,
if the heating fluid is not suffi-
ciently warm, the fan will not start up at
the maximum speed immediately to limit
introducing excessively cool air into the
passenger compartment.
All manual settings will be allowed when
this function is on.

Fan speed adjusting buttons (H)
Press button Hto increase or to decrease
the fan speed and therefore the amount
of air admitted into the passenger com-
partment,
although keeping the required
temperature set.
The fan speed is shown by the lit bars on
the display:
max fan speed = all bars lit;
min fan speed = one bar lit.
The fan can be cut off only if the climate
control compressor has been
switched
off pressing button F-fig. 34.
IMPORTANT To restore automatic fan
speed control after a manual adjustment,
press button AUTO.
IMPORTANT At high speeds, the dynamic
effect may increase the flow of air into the
passenger compartment which in this case
will not directly correspond to the fan
speed bar display.AUTO (A) (automatic operation)
Press AUTO to make the system auto-
matically adjust the quantity and distribu-
tion of the air introduced into the pas-
senger compartment. All previous manu-
al settings will be cancelled.
The message FULL AUTOwill appear
on the front display in this condition.
By manually intervening on at least of the
functions automatically managed by the
system (air recirculatio n, fan speed or
compressor on/off), the word FULL will
disappear from the display indicating that
the system is no longer automatically con-
trolling all the functions (the temperature
will still be controlled automatically by the
system).
IMPORTANT Sho uld the system (aft er
manual setting s) be no lon ger able to
guarantee the required temperature set
in the passen ger compartment, the set
temperature value will start flashing to in-
dicate this condition, after one minute the
AUTOmessage will turn off.
To restore system automatic control at
any time, after one or more manual ad-
justments, press button AUTO.Air recirculation on/off button (G)
Air recirculation works according to the
following operating logics:
override on (inside air recirculation
always on),
indicated by the the LED
on button Gand symbol on
the display;
override off (air recirculation always
off and introduction of external air),
indicated by the fact that the LED on
the button is off is on the display.
These operating conditions are obtained
by pressing Gin sequence.
IMPORTANT The inside air recircula-
tion system makes it possible to reach
the required heating or cooling condi-
tions 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.
Recirculation is forced off
(i.e. air is
introduced from the outside) when the
the outside temperature is cold to pre-
vent misting up.
It is advisable not to use the air recircu-
lation function when the outside tem-
perature is low to prevent the windows
from rapidly misting up.

PRETENSIONERS
To increase the efficiency of the seat belts,
the car is fitted with pretensioners. These
devices, in the event of a violent crash,
rewind the seat belts a few centimetres.
In this way they ensure that the seat belt
adheres perfectly to the wearer before the
restraining action begins.
The seat belt locks to indicate that the de-
vice has intervened; the seat belt cannot
be drawn back up even when guiding it
manually.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest de-
gree of protection from the action of the
pretensioner, wear the seat belt keeping
it firmly close to the chest and pelvis.
A slight amount of smoke may be detect-
ed during operation of the pretensioners.
This smoke is not harmful and does not
indicate a fire.
The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or greasing.
Anything that modifies its original condi-
tions invalidates its efficiency.
If due to unusual natural events (floods,
seas storm, etc.) the device has been af-
fected by water and mud, it must neces-
sarily be replaced.LOAD LIMITERS
To increase passenger’s safety, the front
seat belt reels contain a load limiter which
allows controlled sag in such a way as to
dose the force acting on the chest and
shoulders during the belt restraining ac-
tion in case of front crash.
The pretensioner can only
be use d once . Go to a Fiat
Dealership to have it replaced
after is has been deployed. The exp-
iration date is shown on the label in
the oddment compartment: go to
a Fiat Dealership to have the
device replaced when the expiration d-
ate approaches.
WARNING
Operation s which lea d to
knocks, vibrations or localised
heating (over 100°C for a
maximum of 6 hours) in the
area around the pretensioners may
cause damage or trigger them. These
devices are not affected by vibrations
caused by irregularities of the road sur-
face or low obstacles such as kerbs, etc.
Contact a Fiat Dealership for
any assistance.
