Additional heater(where provided)
The additional heater ensures more rapid passenger compartment heating.
It activates in cold weather conditions, if the following conditions occur:
outside temperature low;
engine coolant temperature low;
engine started;
fan speed set at least to 1stspeed;
knob 1 turned completely clockwise to red section.
The heater is switched off when at least one of the conditions above is no longer verified.
NoteThe power of the electric heater is modulated according to the battery voltage.

9 - internal air recirculation on/off button;
10 - AUTO function activation button (automatic operation).
Stop/Start(where provided)
The automatic climate control system manages the Stop&Start system (engine off when vehicle speed is equal to 0 km/h) to
ensure adequate comfort inside the vehicle.
In particular, the climate control system deactivates the Stop/Start if:
the climate control system is in AUTO mode (LED on the button switched on) and the temperature conditions inside the
vehicle are far from a comfort temperature;
the climate control system is in MAX A/C;
the climate control system is in the MAX-DEF status.
When the Stop&Start system is active (engine off and vehicle speed equal to 0 km/h), the climate control system will request
restarting of the engine if the inside temperature conditions rapidly deteriorate (or if the user requests maximum cooling – MAX
A/C – or quick demisting – MAX-DEF).
With the Stop&Start system on (engine off and vehicle speed equal to 0 km/h), the flow is reduced as much as possible, to
keep the compartment comfort conditions for longer.
The climate control system control unit attempts to manage the decreased comfort caused by stopping the engine as far as
possible (switching off the compressor and engine coolant pump). It is anyway possible to prioritise the operation of the climate
control system, deactivating the Stop/Start system by pressing the
button, located on the central dashboard panel.
NOTE In particularly severe climate conditions it is recommended to limit the use of the Stop&Start system 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.
NOTE When the Stop&Start system is on (engine off and vehicle at a standstill), the automatic recirculation management is
turned off always taking air in from outside, to reduce the probability of the windows misting up (as the compressor is off).
IMPORTANT
1)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
28)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installation of anti-theft
device) that could adversely affect
performance, invalidate the warranty, cause
serious safety problems and also result in
the car not meeting type-approval
requirements.
29)Before performing any maintenance
operations, always turn off the engine and
remove the key from the ignition to lock the
steering column (especially when the car
wheels are not touching the ground). If this
is not possible (for example if the key
needs to be turned to MAR or the engine
must be running), remove the main fuse
that protects the electric power steering.
BOOT
9)
IMPORTANT When travelling, do not
put any object on the rear parcel shelf
because they can injure passengers in
the event of an accident or sudden
braking.
OPENING
30)
Rear flap opening
When the central locking system is
unlocked, the rear boot flap can be
opened from outside the car using the
electric opening handle (where
provided) fig. 44 located under the
handle until the unlocking click is heard
or by pressing the
fig. 43 button on
the dashboard.The roof light inside the luggage
compartment will turn on when the rear
flap is opened; the roof light will
automatically switch off when the rear
flap is closed (see also "Interior lights").
If the rear flap is left open, the roof light
will automatically switch off to preserve
the battery charge.

the chest straight and rested against
the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the
tongue 1 fig. 71 and insert it into the
buckle 2, until it clicks into place.
On removal of the belt, if it jams, let it
rewind for a short stretch, then pull it
out again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button
3 fig. 71 and guide the seat belt with
your hand while it is rewinding, to
prevent it from twisting.
70) 71)
The retractor may lock when the vehicle
is parked on a steep slope: this is
perfectly normal.Furthermore, the reel mechanism locks
the belt if it is pulledsharply or in the
event of sudden braking, collisions and
high-speed bends.
Once seated, put on the rear seat belts
as shown in fig. 72.
Seat belt of the rear central seat
Unlike other seat belts, this one has two
buckles and two metal tongues. In this
manner, release the seat belt to recline
a larger portion (2/3) of the backrest
(see the "Seats" chapter for more
information).
To fasten the seat belt follow the below
procedure:
Place yourself on the central seat
and normally pull out the seat belt from
top rewinder without twisting it;
In the left buckle (without the red
unlock button on the slot) insert the first
tongue which is located at the end of
the diagonal section of the seat belt;
In the right buckle insert the tongue
which is located at the end of the
abdominal section of the belt.
To unfasten the seat belt, unlock the
tongue of the abdominal section
pressing the red button.
IMPORTANT With the rear seat
backrest in vertical position, ensure that
the tongue which is located at the end
of the diagonal section of the central
seat belt is always properly hooked to
the left buckle (without the red unlock
button on the slot).
