engine FIAT PANDA 2014 319 / 3.G User Guide

Manual selections always have higher priority over
automatic settings and are stored until the user
switches the system back to automatic control
except for cases in which the system intervenes for
particular safety-related reasons. You can adjust
one function manually without affecting the
automatic control of the others.
The amount of air introduced into the passenger
compartment is not affected by car speed; it is
regulated by the fan, which is controlled
electronically.
The temperature of the air supplied is always
controlled automatically, depending on the
temperature set in the driver’s display (except when
the system is off or in certain conditions when the
compressor is switched off ).
The system allows the following to be set or adjusted
manually:
❒air temperature;
❒fan speed (continuous variation);
❒air distribution with 5 positions;
❒compressor enablement;
❒rapid defrosting/demisting function;
❒air recirculation;
❒heated rear window, folding mirror/heated
windscreen (for versions/markets, where available);
❒system deactivation.SWITCHING ON THE CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM
The system can be switched on in various ways; it is
however advisable to press the AUTO button and
set the desired temperature on the display.
The climate control system allows you to customise
the requested temperatures.
The climate control system compressor works only
with the engine running and with an outside
temperature of above 0°C.
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
OPERATION
Press the AUTO button; the system will
automatically adjust:
❒the amount of air introduced into the passenger
compartment;
❒the distribution of the air in the passenger

Have the system inspected at a Fiat Dealership
before the summer.
The system uses R134a coolant which
does not pollute the environment in the
event of accidental leakage. Never use
R12 fluid, which is not compatible with the
system components.
ADDITIONAL HEATER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This allows the passenger compartment to be heated
more quickly in cold weather conditions. The heater
switches on automatically according to the
environmental conditions and with engine started
when the temperature of the engine coolant is low.
The additional heater turns off automatically after
the required comfort conditions are achieved.
The heater only operates if the outside temperature
and engine coolant temperature are low. The heater
will not activate if the battery voltage is too low.
Interaction of Automatic Climate Control
with START&STOP
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Automatic Climate Control
The automatic climate control manages the
Start&Stop function (engine off when the car speed
is zero) to guarantee adequate comfort inside the
passenger compartment.In particular, when the weather is extremely hot or
cold, the Start&Stop function is deactivated until
adequate passenger compartment comfort is
ensured. During these transitory stages the engine is
not stopped, even if the car speed is zero.
When the Start&Stop function is active (engine off at
zero car speed), the climate control system will
request the reactivation of the engine if the inside
temperature conditions rapidly deteriorate (or if the
user requests maximum cooling – LO – or quick
demisting – MAX DEF).
With Start&Stop function active (engine off at zero
car speed), the air flow rate (if managed
automatically) is reduced in order to maintain the
passenger compartment comfort conditions for
as long as possible.
The climate control system control unit manages the
decreased comfort caused by stopping the engine,
and consequently the compressor, as far as possible.
The operation of the climate control system can in
any case be favoured by deactivating the Start&Stop
function using the dedicated button on the
dashboard.
NOTE In particularly severe climate conditions it is
recommended to limit the use of the Start&Stop
function to prevent the compressor from
continuously switching on and off, with consequent
rapid misting of the windows and accumulation of
humidity with unpleasant smells in the passenger
compartment.

WARNING
When the ABS cuts in and you feel the
brake pedal pulsating, do not raise
your foot , but keep it pressed; in doing so you
will stop in the shortest amount of space
possible depending on the current road
conditions.
WARNING
If the ABS system intervenes, this
indicates that the traction of the tyres
on the road is nearing its limit .You must slow
down to a speed compatible with the available
traction.
MSR SYSTEM
(Motor Schleppmoment Regelung)
This system is an integral part of the ABS, that
intervenes, if there is sudden downshifting, restoring
torque to the engine, thereby preventing excessive
drive at the drive wheels which, especially in poor
grip conditions, could lead to a loss in stability of the
car.MECHANICAL BRAKE ASSIST (emergency
braking assistance)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This system, which cannot be deactivated, recognises
emergency braking conditions (according to the
brake pedal operation speed) and provides an
additional hydraulic braking pressure to support that
provided by the driver. This allows faster and more
powerful operation of the braking system.
WARNING
When the Mechanical Brake Assist
intervenes, noises may be heard from
the system.This is normal. In any case, keep the
brake pedal firmly depressed while braking.
