AQS (Air Quality System)
function activation
The AQS function, (message AQS on the
display), turns on air recirculation auto-
matically when it detects the presence of
outside polluted air (for example when
driving in the city, queues and tunnels).
IMPORTANT When the AQS function is
active, after 15 minutes of consecutive in-
ternal air recirculation, the climate con-
trol system enables outside air inlet (re-
gardless of air pollution level) for approx.
1 minute to change air inside the passen-
ger compartment. INSIDE AIR RECIRCULATION
ON/OFF AND AQS FUNCTION
(Air Quality System)
Press button
T.
Inside air recirculation is controlled by
three operating logics:
❒automatic control, indicated by message
AQS on the display and button led
Toff;
❒forced switching off (inside air recircu-
lation always off with air inlet from out-
side), button led
Toff;
❒forced switching on (inside air recircu-
lation always on with air inlet from out-
side), button led
Ton.Pressing button OFF, the climate control
system turns on automatically the inside
air recirculation function (button led
Ton). In these conditions it is how-
ever possible to take air from the outside
(and vice versa) pressing button
T(button led off).
With button OFF pressed (button led on),
the AQS (Air Quality System) function
cannot be activated.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the re-
quired “heating” or “cooling” conditions
faster. It is however inadvisable to use it
on rainy/cold days as it would consider-
ably increase the possibility of the win-
dows misting inside, especially if the cli-
mate control system is off. It is advisable
to turn on the inside air recirculation sys-
tem in queues or tunnels to avoid admit-
ting polluted air from outside. The pro-
longed use of this function should how-
ever be avoided, especially with several
persons on board, to avoid the possibili-
ty of the windows misting inside.

tion.
Take out buckles from their housing to
have them ready for use.ANCHORING THE LOAD
The boot houses 4 hooks (where provid-
ed) fig. 114to which ropes can be at-
tached which ensure that the load is prop-
erly secured.
IMPORTANT Never anchor to single
hooks a load exceeding 100 kg.
fig. 113F0C0336m
fig. 114F0C0034m
A heavy load that has not
been secured may cause se-
rious harm.
WARNING
If you want to carry reserve
fuel in a can, follow law reg-
ulations, only using a certified can,
suitably fastened to the load securing
eyelets. Even in this way the risk of
fire is increased in the case of an ac-
cident.

PRESETTING FOR
MOUNTING THE
“UNIVERSAL ISOFIX”
CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEM
This car is preset for mounting the “Uni-
versal Isofix” child restraint system, a new
European standardised system for carry-
ing children safely.
The “Universal Isofix” child’s seat covers
weight group: 1.
Due to its different anchoring system, the
Universal Isofix child’s seat shall be an-
chored to the proper lower metal rings
A-fig. 19, set between rear seat back and
cushion. The upper belt D-fig. 20(pro-
vided with the child’s seat) shall be then
secured to ring Eset in the boot at child’s
seat height.
It is possible to mount at the same time
both the traditional restraint system and
the “Universal Isofix” one.Remember that in case of Universal Isofix
child’s seat, you can only use all those
seats approved with the marking ECE
R44/03 “Universal Isofix”.
At Lineaccessori Fiat is available the “Uni-
versal Isofix” “Duo Plus” child’s seat.
For any further installation/use detail, re-
fer to the “Instructions Manual” that must
be provided by the child restraint system
Manufacturer.
fig. 19F0C0274mfig. 20F0C0428m
Mount the child restraint
system only with the car sta-
tionary. The child restraint system is
properly anchored to the mounting
brackets when clicks are heard. In any

CORRECT USE
OF THE CARSuch operating mode is set when, with
AUTO mode selected, the button AUTO
fig. 7is pressed again, thereby excluding
the previously selected mode.
When downshifting, the engine is accel-
erated automatically to bring it to the
speed necessary with the new gear ratio.
With the accelerator pedal pressed and
gradual engine speed increase, gearshift-
ing becomes quicker.In the manual operating mode there are
certain automatic/security devices which
simplify driving:
❒when slowing down the clutch is
opened and the transmission ratio is au-
tomatically reduced to be ready for
picking up again; otherwise, when the
car is stopped, the gearbox will auto-
matically be in first gear (1);
❒requests to change gear that would take
the engine to exceed the maximum
speed or below minimum speed are not
accepted;
❒nif the engine reaches the maximum
permissible speed and accelerating con-
tinues (without the cutting in of the
ASR or ESP system), the system auto-
matically engages a higher gear; ASR or
ESP system activation at max speed,
gearshifting is inhibited;
❒if jamming occurs during gear engage-
ment, the system firstly tries to engage
the gear required again and, if it is still
not possible, it automatically engages
the immediately higher one to avoid
leaving the car in neutral (N).
IMPORTANT It is advisable to wait for the
end of a gear shifting operation before re-
questing another one, to avoid multiple re-
quests in rapid succession.Automatic mode (AUTO)
This operating mode is selected by press-
ing button AUTO, on the central console.
In the AUTO operating mode, AUTO is
displayed followed by the indication of the
gear selected.
Releasing the accelerator pedal quickly,
the system does not engage a higher gear
in order to maintain an adequate level of
engine brake.
The indication on the display of the gear
selected, can be as follows:
N = neutral;
1 = first gear;
2 = second gear;
3 = third gear;
4 = fourth gear;
5 = fifth gear;
R = reverse;
