Heated windscreen FIAT PANDA 2017 319 / 3.G Owners Manual

IMPORTANT It is advisable to switch the air recirculation on whilst queuing or in tunnels, or whilst driving on dusty roads, to
prevent the introduction of polluted air. However, it is better not to use the function for long periods, particularly if there are
many people on board, to prevent the windows from misting.
C - Air distribution knob:
air flow to central and side dashboard vents to ventilate the chest and the face during the hot season.
distribution between feet area diffusers (warmest air) and dashboard diffusers (coolest air).
towards the footwell diffusers. Due to the natural tendency of heat to spread upwards, this type of distribution warms the
passenger compartment up as quickly as possible, providing an immediate feeling of warmth.
distribution between footwell diffusers and windscreen/front side window vents. This type of distribution achieves effective
heating of the passenger compartment and prevents the windows from misting up.
air flow to the windscreen and front side window diffusers to demist or defrost them.
D - Heated rear window, folding mirror/heated windscreen (for versions/markets, where available) activation/deactivation
button. The LED on the button switches on to indicate activation. To maintain battery efficiency, the function is automatically
deactivated after about 20 minutes
E - Fan speed and climate control system activation/deactivation knob (for versions/markets, where available).
IMPORTANT In warm-humid weather conditions, using cold air on the windscreen may cause external condensation, which
could limit visibility.
NoteTo stop the air flow from the vents, position the knob at 0 and put knob B to internal air recirculation.
ADDITIONAL HEATER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This device speeds up passenger compartment warming when it is very cold. The heater switches on automatically according
to the environmental conditions, with engine started and 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.

F - Turns on/off the air conditioning compressor.
G - Turns on/off the internal air recirculation.
H - Turns on/off the air conditioning.
F - Turns on/off the heated rear window and (for versions/markets, where available) the heated mirrors/heated windscreen.
L/M - Adjusts the fan speed.
The automatic climate control manages the Start&Stop function (engine off when the car speed is zero) to guarantee a suitable
comfort inside the passenger compartment.
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
18)It is advisable not to use the internal air recirculation function when the outside temperature is low, because the windows could mist
rapidly.
WARNING
2)The system uses a coolant that is compatible with the laws in force in countries where the vehicle is sold, R134a or R1234yf. In case of a
recharge operation, only use the gas indicated on the label placed in the engine compartment. The use of other coolants affects the efficiency
and condition of the system. The lubricant used for the compressor is also strictly linked to the type of cooling gas, please refer to a Fiat
Dealership.

WARNING
158)Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and inflammable
vapours may be present, with the risk of
fire.
159)Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine
is hot: you may get burned.
160)The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the plug with
another original or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir plug when the engine
is hot: you risk scalding yourself.
161)Do not travel with the windscreen
washer fluid reservoir empty: the
windscreen washer is essential for
improving visibility. Some commercial
windscreen washer additives are
flammable. The engine compartment
contains hot components which may set it
on fire.
162)Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. In the event of accidental
contact, immediately wash the affected
parts with water and mild soap. Then rinse
thoroughly. Call a doctor immediately if
swallowed.
163)The symbol
, on the brake fluid
container indicates if a brake fluid is
synthetic or mineral­based. Use of mineral
type fluids will damage the special rubber
seals of the braking system beyond repair.164)Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin and
eyes. Keep naked flames and sources
of sparks away from the battery: risk of
explosion and fire.
165)Using the battery with insufficient
fluid irreparably damages the battery and
may cause an explosion.
166)If the car will be unused for an
extended period of time in extremely cold
weather conditions, remove the battery
and store it in a heated area to avoid
it freezing.
167)Always wear appropriate goggles
when working on or near the battery.
WARNING
59)Be careful not to confuse the various
types of fluids while topping up: they
are not compatible with each other!
Topping up with an unsuitable fluid could
severely damage your vehicle.
60)The oil level must never exceed the
MAX reference.
61)Do not add oil with specifications other
than those of the oil already existing in
the engine.
62)PARAFLU
UPantifreeze is used in the
engine cooling system. Use the same fluid
as in the cooling system when topping
up. PARAFLU
UPcannot be mixed with any
other type of fluid. If this occurs, do not
start the engine and contact your Fiat
Dealership immediately.63)Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
64)Incorrect installation of electric and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your car. After purchasing your
vehicle, if you wish to install any
accessories (anti-theft, phone, etc.),
contact a Fiat Dealership, which
will suggest the most appropriate devices
for your vehicle, and will, most importantly,
advise you if a higher capacity battery
needs to be installed.
WARNING
3)Used engine oil and oil filters contain
substances which are harmful to the
environment. To change the oil and filters,
we advise you to contact a Fiat Dealership.
4)Used transmission fluid contains
substances that are harmful to the
environment. It is advisable to have the oil
changed by a Fiat Dealership where it
will be disposed of respecting the
environment and according to legal
requirements.
5)Batteries contain substances which are
very dangerous for the environment. For
battery replacement, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
