CLIMATE CONTROL
Advice for use
In some cases (air conditioning off, air
recirculation on, fan speed at zero or
too low, etc.), the vehicle windows and
windscreen may mist up. In case of
misting, use the MAX DEF function to
eliminate it, then, to prevent it from
re-forming, use the air conditioning in
automatic mode.
Vehicles with ECOMODE
Once activated, ECOMODE can reduce
the air conditioning performance. See
the “Driving suggestions” paragraph in
the “Starting and driving” chapter.
54) 55)
2)
Consumption
Greater fuel consumption is normal
(especially in urban traffic) when the air
conditioning is in use.
For cars with air conditioning without
automatic mode, turn off the system
when you no longer need it.
Some advice for reducing fuel
consumption to a minimum and helping
safeguard the environment:
while driving, keep the diffuser open
and the windows closed;
if the vehicle has been parked in hot
weather or in the sun, aerate the
passenger compartment to let out the
hot air before starting off.

SAFETY

WARNING
127)To prevent opening the door from the inside, use the safety device (refer to the "Child safety” paragraph in the “Knowing your vehicle”
chapter).
128)A collision at 50 Km/h is the equivalent of falling 10 meters. Never hold a child in your arms or on your knees, in case of an accident you
would never be able to hold him even if you have your seat bets fastened. If the vehicle has been involved in a road accident, replace the child
restraint system, and check the seat belts and ISOFIX anchorages.
129)Never leave the vehicle unguarded with the electronic key and a child, a handicapped person or an animal inside, even for a short time.
This could result in your own safety or that of others who could start the engine, setting in motion equipment such as the electric windows or
even locking the doors. Moreover, in hot and/or sunny weather, the vehicle's interior temperature will increase rapidly. Risk of death or serious
injury.
130)Never leave a child alone in the vehicle. Make sure the child always has his/her seat belt fastened and correctly adjusted. Avoid too
heavy clothing that causes the belts to be loose. Never allow the child to put his/her head or arm out the window. Make sure the child is
seated correctly throughout the trip. especially when asleep.
131)Make sure the child seat or his/her feet do not prevent the front seat from locking into place correctly. Refer to the "Front seat"
paragraph in the "Knowing your vehicle” chapter. Make sure that the child seat installed in the vehicle is not at risk of coming out of its
housing. If you have to remove the head rest, make sure it is positioned so it is not thrown about in case of abrupt braking or collision. Always
fasten the child seat even if you are not using it so it is not thrown about in case of abrupt braking or collision.
132)RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY: before installing a rear-facing child restraint system in the front passenger seat, check that the
air bag has been correctly deactivated (refer to the "Passenger side airbag and child restraint systems" paragraph in this chapter).
133)Install the child seat preferably in one of the rear seats.
134)Never install a child seat on the rear centre seat. RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
135)Do not use child seats that could unlock the belt holding it in place: the child seat base must not rest on the seat belt buckle and/or
housing.
136)The seat belt must never be loose or twisted. Never pass the shoulder belt under your arm or behind your back. Check that the belt has
not been damaged by sharp edges. If the seat belt is not working normally, it will not protect the child. Contact a Fiat Dealership. Do not use
this seat until the belt has been repaired.
137)Using a child seat inappropriate for this vehicle will not properly protect the child. You risk causing him/her serious injury or death.
138)Do not modify any of the elements of the original safety system: seat belts, ISOFIX, seats and related fastening.
139)Check that the backrest of the forward-facing child restraint system is touching the backrest of the vehicle seat. In that case, the child
restraint system may not rest on the vehicle seat cushion.
140)The ISOFIX anchorages have been designed exclusively for child restraint systems with the ISOFIX system. Never fasten other child
restraint systems, nor seat belts or other objects to these anchorages. Check that there are no obstacles at the level of the anchor points. If
the vehicle has been involved in a road accident, have the ISOFIX anchorages checked and replace the child restraint system.
141)Never install a child restraint system with support feet on the central rear seat. Risk of death or serious injury.
