WARNING LIGHT
(for Diesel Engine Model)
64J244
This light comes on for several seconds
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position so you can check that light
is working.
If the light comes on when driving, the
diesel particulate filter is nearly clogged.
To regenerate the diesel particulate filter,
you must drive the vehicle until the light
goes out, at a speed of 50 km/h (31 mph)
or higher for a while (max. 30 minutes de-
pending on the vehicle speed).
If you drive your vehicle until the light goes
out, the regeneration of the diesel partic-
ulate filter will be completed.
For details, refer to “Diesel Particulate Fil-
ter” in the “OPERATING YOUR VEHI-
CLE” section.

NOTE The activation point of the low fu-
el warning light (1) varies depending on
road conditions (for example, slope or
curve) and driving conditions because of
fuel moving in the tank.
The mark (2) indicates that the fuel filler
door is located on the left side of the ve-
hicle.TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in
revolutions per minute.
IMPORTANT Never drive with the en-
gine speed indicator in the red zone or se-
vere engine damage can result. When
downshifting to a lower gear, make sure
not to operate with excessive revolution
speeds of the engine. Refer to “Down-
shifting maximum allowable speeds” in the
“OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE” section.
NOTE The indicator moves a little de-
pending on road conditions (for example,
slope or curve) and driving conditions be-
cause of fuel moving in the tank.

FUEL GAUGE
When the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position, this gauge gives an approximate
indication of the amount of fuel in the fu-
el tank. “F” stands for full and “E” stands
for empty.
If the indicator gets off the graduation of
“E” (not character “E”), refill the tank as
soon as possible.

When the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position, this gauge indicates the engine
coolant temperature. Under normal dri-
ving conditions, the indicator should stay
within the normal, acceptable temperature
range between “H” and “C”. If the indi-
cator approaches “H” or the overheat in-
dicator light (1) (for versions/markets,
where provided) comes on, overheating
is indicated. Follow the instructions for en-
gine overheating in the “EMERGENCY
SERVICE” section.
IMPORTANT Continuing to drive the ve-
hicle when engine overheating is indicat-
ed can result in severe engine damage.

NOTE When you reconnect the negative
(–) terminal to the battery, the unit of
temperature will be reinitialized. Change
the unit again to your preference.
Oil life monitoring
The oil life monitoring indicates the re-
maining distance until the next timing to
change the engine oil and oil filter. When
the remaining distance become close to
0 km, you should change the engine oil and
oil filter immediately. The oil service light
in the instrument cluster may also come
on to let you know that you should change
the engine oil and oil filter immediately.
For details on how to change the engine
oil and oil filter, refer to “Changing Engine
Oil and Filter” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section.Whenever the engine oil and oil filter are
changed, the oil life monitoring must be
reset to monitor the next oil and oil fil-
ter change timing properly. To reset the
indicator, consult your Fiat Dealership.
When the oil life monitoring is reset, the
oil life monitoring indicates the remain-
ing distance until the next timing to change
engine oil and filter. If the oil service light
was on, it will go out.
IMPORTANT Change the engine oil and
filter immediately when the remaining dis-
tance of the oil life monitoring indication
becomes close to 0 km. If you keep op-
erating the engine with the indication
shows 0 km, severe engine damage can re-
sult.
NOTE If the vehicle is usually used under
severe driving conditions, the engine oil
and oil filter should be changed more fre-
quently regardless the oil life monitoring.
Refer to “Maintenance recommended un-
der severe driving condition” in the “IN-
SPECTION AND MAINTENANCE” sec-
tion.Transaxle selector position
indicator (for automatic transaxle)
When the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position, the display (C) indicates the gear
position (h).
For details on how to use the transaxle,
refer to “Using the Transaxle” in the
“OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE” section.
Odometer / Illumination Control

When the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position, the display (D) shows the
odometer.
If you turn the indicator selector knob (2)
clockwise or counterclockwise, the dis-
play will change to the illumination control
setting.
Odometer
The odometer records the total distance
the vehicle has been driven.

Air conditioning switch (5)
To turn on the air conditioning system,
push in the “A/C” switch and set the blow-
er speed selector to a position other than
“OFF”. With this “A/ C” switch operation,
a indicator light will come on when the air
conditioning system is on. To turn off the
air conditioning system, push the “A/C”
switch again.
During operation of the air conditioner,
you may notice slight changes in engine
speed. These changes are normal, the sys-
tem is designed so that the compressor
turns on or off to maintain the desired
temperature.
Less operation of the compressor results
in better fuel economy.
SYSTEM OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Natural ventilation
Select “VENTILATION” and “FRESH
AIR”, the temperature selector to the de-
sired temperature position, and the blow-
er speed selector to “OFF”. Fresh air will
flow through the vehicle during driving.Forced ventilation
The control settings are the same as for
natural ventilation except you set the
blower speed selector to a position oth-
er than “OFF”.
Normal heating (using outside air)
Select “HEAT” and “FRESH AIR”, the
temperature selector to the desired tem-
perature position and the blower speed
selector to the desired blower speed po-
sition. Setting the blower speed selector
to a higher blower speed position in-
creases heating efficiency.
Quick heating
(using recirculated air)
The control settings are the same as for
normal heating except you select “RE-
CIRCULATED AIR”. If you use this heat-
ing method for an extended period of
time, the air in the vehicle can become
contaminated and the windows can be-
come misty. Therefore, use this method
only for quick heating and change to the
normal heating method as soon as possi-
ble. Recirculated Air (g)
When this mode is selected, the indicator
light will come on, outside air is shut out
and inside air is recirculated. This mode is
suitable when driving through dusty or
polluted air such as in a tunnel, or when
attempting to quickly cool down the in-
terior.
“FRESH AIR” and “RECIRCULATED AIR”
are switched alternately each time the air
intake selector is pushed.
NOTE If you select “RECIRCULATED
AIR” for an extended period of time, the
air in the vehicle can become contami-
nated. Therefore, you should occasional-
ly select “FRESH AIR”.

NOTE Your vehicle uses the air condi-
tioning refrigerant HFC-134a, commonly
called “R-134a”. R-134a replaced R-12
around 1993 for automotive applications.
Other refrigerants are available, including
recycled R-12, but only R-134a should be
used in your vehicle.
IMPORTANT Using the wrong refriger-
ant may damage your air conditioning sys-
tem. Use R-134a only. Do not mix or re-
place the R-134a with other refrigerants.AUTOMATIC HEATING

If you do not use the air conditioner for
a long period, such as during winter, it may
not give the best performance when you
start using it again. To help maintain op-
timum performance and durability of your
air conditioner, it needs to be run peri-
odically. Operate the air conditioner at
least once a month for one minute with
the engine idling. This circulates the re-
frigerant and oil and helps protect the in-
ternal components.
Your air conditioner is equipped with air
filters. Clean or replace them as specified
in the “Maintenance Schedule” in the “IN-
SPECTION AND MAINTENANCE” sec-
tion. Have this job done by your Fiat Deal-
ership as the lower glove box must be
lowered for this job.

Too high a volume when dri-
ving can put the driver’s life
at risk and that of other people.
Therefore the volume should always
be adjusted in such a way that it is al-
ways possible to hear the noises of
the surrounding environment (e.g.:
horns, ambulance, police sirens, etc.).

CD CHANGER CONTROL
PRECAUTIONS
❒When the inside of the vehicle is very
cold and the player is used soon after
switching on the heater, moisture may
form on the disc or the optical parts
of the player and proper playback may
not be possible. If moisture forms on
the disc, wipe it off with a soft cloth. If
moisture forms on the optical parts of
the player, do not use the player for
about one hour, this will allow the con-
densation to disappear normally.
