Turn knob fig. 83 under the roof to
turn the supplementary climate control
system on. It will only work when the
main system is running.
Air flow is distributed to the back
through the directional vents set under
the roof by lever A-fig. 84.
Like for Panorama and Combi, also the
Van versions can be equipped with an
optional climate control system to be set
in the load compartment and to be
switched on using the relevant console
controls.AIR CONDITIONING
(COOLING)
Control settings for quick cooling:
1)air temperature knob: pointer at
the blue sector
2)climate control system: press but-
ton √
3)air recirculation slider: at Ò
4) air distribution knob: pointer at O
5)fan knob: pointer at the required
speed.To reduce the cooling effect: posi-
tion the slider at Ú, to increase the
temperature and decrease the fan
speed.
Do not switch the climate control
system on for heating and ventilation.
Use the ordinary heating and ventila-
tion system (see previous section).
IMPORTANT The climate control
system is very useful for clearing the
windows rapidly because it dries the
air. Simply set the controls for demist-
ing and turn the climate control sys-
tem on with button √.
ADDITIONAL HEATER
Certain versions feature, under the
driver’s seat, an additional heater us-
ing the same heating system controls.

– a control unit connected to the
heater/ventilation unit for automatic
operation;
– an electronic control unit to check
and adjusted the integrated heater
burner;
– a digital timer A-fig. 85to start the
heater manually or to program staring
time.In cold weather, the supplementary
heater automatically warms and cir-
culates constant temperature fluid in
the engine cooling system for the time
required to ensure optimal engine ig-
nition and cab temperature conditions.
The heater can be started automat-
ically (programmed by means of the
digital timer) or manually by pressing
the “heat now” button on the timer.
When the heater is turned on (au-
tomatically or manually), the electronic
control unit operates the fluid circu-
lation pump and safely ignites the burn-
er.The electronic control unit also con-
trols the circulation pump delivery in
order to reduce initial heating time.
When the fluid reaches a temperature
of 30°C, the control unit operates the
passenger compartment ventilation
fan.
When the fluid temperature reaches
72°C, the electronic control unit re-
duces the burner power and stops op-
eration when it reaches 76.5°C. The
timer, circulation pump and heater fan
are kept running. When the fluid tem-
perature drops under 71°C the con-
trol unit automatically turns the burn-
er back on.

IMPORTANTThe heater is
equipped with a thermal switch which
cuts off the heater in the event of
overheating caused by low or leaking
coolant. In this case, press the pro-
gram selection button to start the
heater again after repairing the cool-
ing system fault and/or topping up the
fluid.
The heater can turn itself off after en-
gine ignition or if the flame goes out.
In this case, turn the heater off man-
ually and attempt to turn it back on
again. If you cannot turn the heater on,
contact a Fiat Dealership.Turning the heater on
Before turning the heater on check
that:
– the heating/ventilation unit knob is
turned to “warm air”;
– the heating/ventilation fan speed
knob is at position “2”.Digital timer fig. 86

According to the operation mode
(automatic or manual), the heater can
be turned off:
–automatically,after the preset
period of time (60 minutes when the
display light is red);
– manuallyby pressing the “heat
now” button on the timer.
In each case, the heater warning light,
the display and the passenger com-
partment fan will be turned off and the
heater flame will be blown out.
The coolant circulation pump will
run for approximately two minutes af-
ter the heater has been turned off to
dispose of as much heat as possible.
During this phase the heater can, how-
ever, be turned on.

CONTROLS fig. 100
The cruise control is controlled by
a set of controls located on the steer-
ing wheel.
1) ONdevice on
2) OFFdevice off
3) RESto reset the memorised
speed
4) +to store and to keep the vehicle
speed or to increase the speed memo-
rised
5) – to lower the speed memorised.
IMPORTANTPressing button
OFFor turning the key to STOP,
the memorised speed is cancelled and
the system disengaged.IMPORTANTIn the case of need
(when overtaking for instance) accel-
eration is possible simply pressing the
accelerator pedal; later, releasing the
accelerator pedal, the vehicle will re-
turn to the speed memorised previ-
ously.
To reset the memorised speed
If the device has been disengaged for
example pressing the brake or clutch
pedal, the memorised speed can be re-
set as follows:
– accelerate gradually until reaching
a speed approaching the one memo-
rised;
– engage the gear selected at the
time of speed memorising (4
thor 5th
speed);
– press button RES. To memorise the speed
Press button ONand take the ve-
hicle to the required speed normally.
Press button +for at least three sec-
onds, then release it. The vehicle
speed is memorised and it is therefore
possible to release the accelerator
pedal.
The vehicle will carry on its ride at
the constant memorised speed until
one of the following condition occurs:
– pressing the brake pedal;
– pressing the clutch pedal;
– inadvertently moving the automat-
ic gearbox selector to N.

70GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
To increase the memorised
speed
The speed memorised can be in-
creased in two ways:
1 -pressing the accelerator and then
memorising the new speed reached
(pressing button + for more than
three seconds);
2 -pressing briefly button +: each
pressing will correspond to a slight in-
crease in speed (about 2.5 km/h) while
pressing continuously will correspond
to a continuous speed increase. Re-
leasing the button the new speed will
be memorised automatically.
To reduce the memorised
speed
The speed memorised can be re-
duced in two ways:
1 -disengaging the device (for in-
stance pressing the brake pedal) and
then memorising the new speed
(pressing button +for more than
three seconds);
2 -pressing button –until reaching
the new speed which will be memo-
rised automatically.To set to zero the memorised
speed
The memorised speed is automati-
cally reset:
– turning the engine off;
– pressing buttonOFF.Do not engage the device in town or
in busy flowing traffic conditions.
When travelling with the
cruise control on, do not
move the gearshift lever to neutral
and to not move the automatic
gearbox selector to N. We suggest
to engage the cruise control only
when the traffic and road condi-
tions allow doing it in complete
safety and so: straight and dry
roads, freeways or motorways,
smooth flowing traffic and even as-
phalt.
WARNING
The cruise control can be en-
gaged only with speeds high-
er than 40 km/h. The device may on-
ly be engaged in 4
thor 5thgear, de-
pending on the speed of the vehicle.
On vehicles with electronic automat-
ic gearbox it can only be engaged
with selector to D, in automatic mode
without then moving the selector
manually, or with 3
rdor 4thgear in se-
quential operation. Travelling down-
hill with the device engaged, the ve-
hicle speed may increase more than
the memorised one, due to the
change in the engine load.
