Press this button: the climate control sys-
tem will automatically switch on all the
functions required for fast windscreen and
front side window demisting/defrosting,
that is:❒switches on climate control compressor
when climatic conditions are suitable;❒
air recirculation off;
❒
maximum air temperature HIon both
areas;
❒
activates proper fan speed according to
engine coolant temperature to limit the
flow into the passenger compartment of
air not warm enough to demist the win-
dows;
❒directs air flow to windscreen and front
side windows vents;❒
turns heated rear window on.
IMPORTANT Fast demisting/defrosting
function stays on for about 3 minutes,
since engine coolant temperature reach-
es the proper temperature.When the max. demisting/defrosting func-
tion is on, the button led and the heated
rear window button led are on.
When the max. demisting/defrosting func-
tion is on, the only manual operations pos-
sible are manual adjustment of the fan
speed and switching heated rear window
off. Pressing the max. demisting/defrost-
ing button or the air recirculation buttons
or compressor off button or the AUTO
button, the system switches off the max.

If the engine does not start at the first at-
tempt, return the ignition key to Sbefore
repeating starting.
If, when the ignition key is at M, the dis-
play warning light
m
remains lit, turn the
key to Sand then back to M; if the warn-
ing lights remain on, try with the other
keys provided with the vehicle.
IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition key
to Mwhen the engine is off.
The warning light m will flash
for 60 seconds at start-up or
during prolonged cranking to
indicate a fault in the glow
plug heating system. You can use the
vehicle as usual if the engine starts but
you should contact Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.
HOW TO WARM UP THE
ENGINE AFTER IT HAS JUST
STARTED
Proceed as follows:❒
Drive off slowly, letting the engine turn
at medium revs. Do not accelerate
abruptly;
❒
Do not drive at full performance for the
initial kilometres. Wait until the coolant
temperature gauge starts moving.
Remember that the servo-
brake and power steering are
not operational until the en-
gine has been started, there-
fore much effort than usual is required
on the brake pedal and steering wheel.
Never bump start the engine
by pushing, towing or coast-
ing downhill as this could
cause fuel to flow into the
catalytic exhaust system and damage
it beyond repair.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition key to Swhile the en-
gine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a taxing drive, you
should allow the engine to “catch its
breath” before turning it off by letting it
idle to allow the temperature in the en-
gine compartment to fall.
A quick burst on the acceler-
ator before turning off the en-
gine serves absolutely no
practical purpose, it wastes
fuel and is damaging especially to tur-
bocharged engines.

AIR BAG FAILURE
(red)
Turning the ignition key to M
the warning light turns on, but it should
go off after few seconds.
The warning light stays on glowing
steadily if there is a failure in the air bag
system.
¬
If when turning the ignition
key to M, the warning light
¬
does not turn on or stays on when
travelling there could be a failure in
safety systems; in this event air bags
or pretensioners could not trigger in
case of impact or, in a minor number
of cases, they could trigger acciden-
tally. Contact Fiat Dealership imme-
diately to have the system checked.
WARNING

also indicated by the flashing for

WARNING
ENGINE COOLANT
HIGH TEMPERATURE
(red)
Turning the ignition key to Mthe warn-
ing light turns on, but it should go off
after few seconds.
The warning light turns on when the
engine is overheated.
The flashing of the warning lights indi-
cates a level of engine coolant which is
too low.
If the warning light comes on, proceed as
follows:
❒when driving normally: stop the
car, switch off the engine and check
that the water level in the reservoir
is not below the MINmark. If it is,
wait for the engine to cool down,
then slowly and carefully open the
cap, top up with coolant and check
that the level is between the MIN
and MAXmarks on the reservoir.
Also check visually for any fluid leaks.
If, when restarting, the warning light
comes on again, contact a Fiat
Dealership;

WARNING
❒Vehicle heavy duty(e.g.: towing
trailer uphill of fully laden vehicle):
decrease speed, if the warning light
stays on, stop the vehicle. Wait for 2
or 3 minutes leaving the engine on
and slightly accelerated to further
activate the circulation of the

Turning the ignition key to M
the warning light turns on, but it should
go out as soon as the engine is started
(with the engine running at idle speed a
brief delay in going out is allowed).
If the warning light remains lit constant-
ly seek immediate advice from the Fiat
Dealership.
If the warning light flashes: it signals that
the vehicle is in the “economy mode”
and has deactivated some unnecessary
functions.
