Warning light ucomes on when the
coolant is too hot.
Even travelling too slowly when the
outside temperature is very hot can
cause the needle to approach the red
sector. In this case it is better to stop
and turn off the engine. After a few
moments you can start the engine
again and accelerate slightly.
FUEL GAUGE
The instrument shows the level of fu-
el in the tank.
The reserve warning light Kwill light
up to indicate that there are approxi-
mately 5÷8 litres of fuel level left in the
tank and that refuelling is needed as
soon as possible.
Do not travel with the fuel tank al-
most empty: the gaps in fuel delivery
could damage the catalyser.

A– button for opening the main menu

If the needle is in the red zone, it
shows your vehicle is overrevving.
This is only acceptable for a few mo-
ments.
IMPORTANTThe electronic in-
jection control system cuts off the
flow of fuel when the engine is “over-
revving”. This will lead to a loss of en-
gine power.
When the engine is running idle, the
revolution counter can indicate a
gradual or sudden revolution in-
crease. This is normal and should not
worry you, since it usually happens
during normal operations, such as the
climate system activation or the fan
activation. In particular, a slow revo-
lution variation is needed to preserve
the battery charge.

TEMPERATURE GAUGE
Under normal conditions, the needle
of the temperature gauge should hov-
er around the middle of the scale. If
it approaches the red section it means
the engine is being overtaxed and you
should reduce your demands on it.C– button for confirming the se-

fixed light- warning of a fuel
feed/ignition system failure which may
increase emissions in exhaust or cause
possible drops in performance, poor
handling and high consumption.
In such conditions, you can continue
driving but you should not tax the en-
gine and you should moderate the
speed. Prolonged use with the warning
light on can cause damage. Contact a
Fiat Dealershipas soon as possible.
The warning light goes off if the fault
disappears but it is however stored by
the system.

warning that the catalyser can be dam-
aged (see “EOBD system” in this chap-
ter).
If the warning light starts flashing, re-
lease the accelerator pedal and slow

is turned to M or comes on, with
fixed or flashing light, when trav-
elling.
If the warning light ¬
does not turn on when
turning the ignition key to
M or if it stays on when travelling,
this could indicate a failure in safe-
ty retaining systems; under this
condition air bags or pretension-
ers could not trigger in the event
of collision or, in a restricted num-
ber of cases, they could trigger ac-
cidentally. Stop the car and con-
tact Fiat Dealership to have the
system checked immediately.

The system uses refrig-
erant R134a as it will not
pollute the environment
if it accidentally leaks. Under no
circumstance use other fluids
which are incompatible with the
system’s component parts.
AIR FLOW
The system manual operation has 8
different air capacity levels which are
displayed with half blackening of each
main fan symbol stake.
When the automatic function has
been enabled (AUTO) the air capaci-
ty varies and can be controlled by the
system. This is indicated on the display
by 4 half blackened stakes. It is easier to reach the
wished air temperature
conditions with inside air
recirculation. Anyway, it is better
not to use this function in
rainy/cold days because inside
window misting may increase, es-
pecially if the compressor is off.
You are recommended
to use the inside air recir-
culation function in the
traffic jam (car lines inside or out-
side galleries) to prevent outside
polluted air from getting into the
vehicle. Anyway, do not use this
function when several people are
onboard, to prevent inside win-
dow misting.AUTOMATIC
CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM
The car is fitted with an automatic
climate control system to control tem-
perature, air capacity, distribution and
recirculation according to two defini-
tion levels:
• automatic system called multi-
zone, with split temperature (left/
right) for the first and second row;
• automatic system called three-
zonewith additional rear fans which
can be controlled by the second row
passengers to change the second and
third row vent air capacity.
IMPORTANTManual selections
prevail over automatic selections and
are stored in the memory until the
user activates the system automatic
mode (AUTO). Manual settings are
stored when the engine is turned off
and restored when the engine is start-
ed again.
