SPEEDOMETER fig. 10
It shows the engine speed.REV. COUNTER fig. 11/a
Rev counter shows engine rpm.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection con-
trol system gradually shuts off the flow of
fuel when the engine is “over-revving” re-
sulting in a gradual loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter
may indicate a gradual or sudden higher-
ing of the speed.
This is normal and takes place for exam-
ple when activating the climate control
system or the fan. In these events a slight
increase in engine idling preserves the bat-
tery charge.

LOOKING AFTER THE SYSTEM
During winter, the climate control system
must be turned on at least once a month
for about 10 minutes. Before summer,
have the system checked at a Fiat Deal-
ership.
The system is filled with
R134a refrigerant which will
not pollute the environment
in the event of leakage. Un-
der no circumstances should R12 fluid
be used as it is incompatible 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-

AUTOMATIC TWO-ZONE CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM (for versions/markets, where provided)
DESCRIPTION
The vehicle is fitted with a two-zone cli-
mate control system which makes it pos-
sible to separately adjust the air temper-
atures and air distribution on the driver’s
side and on the passenger’s side.
Temperature control is based on the
“equivalent temperature” logic, i.e.: the
system continuously works to keep con-
stant the comfort inside the passenger
compartment and to compensate any vari-
ation of the outside climate conditions, in-
cluding sunshine detected by a proper sen-
sor provided for the purpose.
The climate control system automatically
controls and adjusts the following para-
meters and functions:❒
air temperature at driver/front passen-
ger vents;
❒
air distribution at driver/front passen-
ger vents;
❒
fan speed (continuous air flow variation);
❒
compressor activation (to cool/ dehu-
midify air);
❒
air recirculation.All the above functions can be changed
manually by selecting the required func-
tion/s and by changing the set parameters.
In this way the automatic control is de-
activated; the system will resume auto-
matic control only for safety reasons.
Manual selections prevail over automatic
ones and remain in storage until the user
decides to resume automatic control
(press button AUTO, except when the
system cuts in for particular safety condi-
tions. The control of functions not
changed manually remains automatic.
The amount of air admitted to the pas-
senger compartment does not depend on
the vehicle speed, since it is electronical-
ly controlled by the fan. The temperature
of the air admitted to the passenger com-
partment is always controlled automati-
cally according to the temperatures set on
the driver’s and front passenger’s display
(except when the system is off or under
certain conditions when the compressor
is off).The following parameters and functions
can be set or changed manually:
❒
air temperatures on driver/front pas-
senger side;
❒
fan speed (continuous variation);
❒
air distribution on seven levels (dri-
ver/front passenger side);
❒
climate control compressor on/off en-
able;
❒
monozone/two-zone distribution prior-
ity;
❒
fast demisting/defrosting;
❒
air recirculation;
❒
rear heated window;
❒
system deactivation.
