It is advisable to switch the internal air recirculation on while
standing in queues or in tunnels to prevent the introduc-
tion of polluted air. However, it is better not to use the
function for long periods, particularly if there are many peo-
ple on board, to prevent the windows from misting inside.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation system makes it
possible to reach the required heating or cooling condi-
tions faster. Do not use the air recirculation function on
rainy/cold days as it would considerably increase the pos-
sibility of the windows misting inside.

Preventive window demisting procedure
In the event of considerable external moisture and/or rain
and/or large differences in temperature inside and outside
the passenger compartment, perform the following pre-
ventive window demisting procedure:❒
turn the knob A to the red sector;
❒
turn the knob C to
U
;
❒
turn the knob D to
-
with the possibility of passing to
position ≤if the windows do not mist up;
❒
turn knob B to 2
ndspeed.
CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM (cooling)
For fast cooling of the passenger compartment, proceed
as follows:
❒
turn the knob A to blue sector;
❒
turn the knob C to
T
;
❒
turn the knob D to
¥;
❒
press the knob B to turn the climate control system on;
the LED on the knob will come on;
❒
turn the knob B to
-
(maximum fan speed).
The system uses R134a refrigerant fluid
which does not pollute the environment in
the event of accidental leakage. Under no
circumstances should R12 fluid be used as it is in-
compatible with the system components.
Cooling adjustment❒
turn the knob A to the right to increase the
temperature;
❒
turn the knob C to
U
;
❒
turn the knob B to reduce the fan speed.
SYSTEM SERVICING
In winter, the climate control system must be turned on
at least once a month for about 10 minutes. Before sum-
mer, have the system checked at a Fiat Dealership.

Button

– D
Air recirculation on/off
It is advisable to switch the internal air recirculation on
while standing in queues or in tunnels to prevent the in-
troduction of polluted air.
Led on button ON = recirculation ON.
Led on button OFF = recirculation OFF.
At low temperatures or if the compressor is off, the re-
circulation is forced to off to avoid misting.
IMPORTANT It is inadvisable to use air recirculation on
cold days as it would considerably increase the possibility
of windows misting up inside.
During
AUTO
operation, due to safety reasons and to refresh
air flow, after long recirculation activation (over 25 minutes)
the system will deactivate automatically air recirculation for
1 minute.
Buttons
ÕÔ
– E
Temperature setting
Pressing the button
Õ
the temperature in the passen-
ger compartment will rise until the value HI is reached
(maximum heating).
Pressing the button
Ô
the temperature in the passenger
compartment will decrease until the value LO is reached
(maximum cooling).
HI function
This function can be switched on to heat the passenger
compartment as quickly as possible; air distribution and fan
speed are controlled by the system.
To turn this function off, set the required temperature.
❒
it is not possible to convey air to the passenger com-
partment with a temperature below the outside tem-
perature (the displayed temperature value will flash
when the system cannot guarantee the required com-
fort conditions);
❒
the fan speed can be manually reset (with compressor
enabled, ventilation cannot go below a bar shown on
the display).
Button OFF – C
System switching off
Pressing the
OFF
button the system is switched off.
With the system off, the climate control system conditions
are as follows:
❒
all LEDs off;
❒
set temperature display off;
❒
air recirculation off;
❒
compressor off;
❒
fan off.
Under this condition, air recirculation can be turned on
or off without activating the system.
IMPORTANT The system will store the settings (except
recirculation) performed before turning off and will re-
sume them when pressing any button (if the function cor-
responding to the button pressed is off, it will be turned
on; if on it will be kept active). Press
AUTO
to start the
system automatically.

The bonnet may drop suddenly if the sup-
porting rod is not positioned properly. This
should only be done when the car is stationary.
WARNING
Before opening the bonnet, check that
windscreen wiper arm is not lifted from
the windscreen.
WARNING
With hot engine, proceed with the utmost
care inside the engine compartment to
avoid burns. Do not place your hands close to the
fan: it might start working also with the ignition
key removed. Wait for engine cooling.
WARNING

Pull the red lever (under the dashboard) in the arrow
direction as shown in the figure.
Lift the lever A.
Lift the bonnet and at the same time release the rod B from
its catch C.

CAR INACTIVITYIf the car is to be left inactive for longer than a month,
the following precautions should be followed:❒
park the car in covered, dry and if possible well-venti-
lated premises;
❒
engage one gear;
❒
check that the handbrake is not engaged;
❒
disconnect the negative battery terminal and check bat-
tery charge. Repeat this check once every three months
during storage. Recharge if the optical indicator shows
a dark colour without the central green area;
❒
clean and protect the painted parts using protective
wax;
❒
clean and protect the shiny metal parts using special
compounds readily available;
❒
sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber windscreen and
rear window wiper blades and lift them off the glass;
❒
slightly open the windows;
❒
cover the car with a cloth or perforated plastic sheet.
Do not use sheets of non-perforated plastic as they do
not allow moisture on the car body to evaporate;
❒
inflate tyres to 0.5 bar above the standard specified pres-
sure and check it at intervals;
❒
if you don’t disconnect the battery from the electric sys-
tem, check its charge every month and recharge it if the
optical indicator shows a dark colour without the central
green area;
❒
do not drain the engine cooling system.
SNOW CHAINSThe use of snow chains should be in compliance with lo-
cal regulations.
The snow chains may be applied only onto the front wheel
tyres (drive wheels).
Check the tension of the snow chains after the first few
metres have been driven.
IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fitted to the space-
saver spare wheel. So, if a front (drive) wheel is punctured
and chains are needed, a rear wheel should be fitted to the
front of the car and the space-saving spare wheel should
be fitted to the rear. This way with two normal drive
wheels, snow chains can be fitted to them to solve an
emergency.
Keep your speed down when snow chains
are fitted. Do not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid
potholes, steps and pavements and also
avoid driving long distances on roads not covered
with snow in order to prevent damaging the car and
the roadbed.

The engine cooling system is pressurised.
If necessary, only replace the cap with an-
other genuine one or the operation of the system
may be adversely affected. Do not remove the cap
from the reservoir when the engine is hot: dan-
ger of scalding.
WARNING
The engine cooling system uses protective
antifreeze fluid PARAFLU
UP. Use the same
fluid as in the cooling system when topping
up. PARAFLU
UP
fluid cannot be mixed with any oth-
er type of fluid. If this accidentally occurs, do not
start the engine and contact a Fiat Dealership.
Do not travel with the windscreen wash-
er reservoir empty: the windscreen
washer is fundamental for improving visibility.
WARNING
WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW WASHER
FLUID fig. 180
To top-up, remove the cap A.
Pour a mixture of water and TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC35, in the following concentrations:
30% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35 and 70% water in
summer.
50% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35 and 50% water in
winter.
At temperatures below −20 °C, use undiluted TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC35 fluid.
Check level through the reservoir.
