Window demisting
In the event of considerable outside mois-
ture and/or rain and/or considerable dif-
ferences in temperature inside and out-
side the passenger compartment, perform
the following preventive demisting proce-
dure:
❒air recirculation off (button led Toff);
❒turn knob Ato red section;
❒turn knob Cto 2ndspeed;
❒turn knob Eto -or to ≤if the win-

This function is timed and switches off au-
tomatically after 20 minutes. To cut out
this function press again button

IMPORTANT Do not apply stickers on
the inside of the rear window over the
heating filaments to avoid damage that
might cause it to stop working properly.
FAN SPEED ADJUSTMENT
To ventilate the passenger’s compartment
properly, proceed as follows:
❒Central and side vents: completely
open;
❒Knob pointer Aon blue section;
❒knob pointer Con required speed;
❒Knob pointer Eto ¥;
❒air recirculation off (button led Toff).RECIRCULATION
Pressing button
Tturns on this func-
tion which is shown by the turning on of
the led on the button. This function is par-
ticularly useful when the outside air is
heavily polluted (in a traffic jam, tunnel,
etc.). However, it is better not to use it
for long periods, especially if there are sev-
eral people in the car.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the re-
quired “heating” or “cooling” conditions
faster. Do not use the air recirculation
function on rainy/cold days as it would
considerably increase the possibility of the
windows misting inside.

AIR RECIRCULATION
Pressing button
Tturns on this func-
tion which is shown by the turning on of
the led on the button.
This function is particularly useful when
the outside air is heavily polluted (in a traf-
fic jam, tunnel, etc.) However, it is better
not to use it for long periods, especially
if there are several people in the car.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the re-
quired “heating” or “cooling” conditions
faster. Do not use the air recirculation
function on rainy/cold days as it would
considerably increase the possibility of the

Proceed as follows:
❒Knob pointer Aon blue section;
❒knob pointer Con required speed;
❒Knob pointer Fto ¥;
❒Press buttons ❄and T(button leds

Cooling adjustment
Proceed as follows:
❒Turn off button T(button led off);
❒Turn knob Ato the right to raise tem-
perature;
❒Turn knob Cto the left to reduce the
fan speed.LOOKING AFTER THE SYSTEM
During winter, the climate control system
must be turned on at least once a month
for about 10 minutes. Before summer,
have the system checked at a Fiat Deal-
ership.

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.

CAR INACTIVITY
If the car is to be left inactive for longer
than a month, the following precautions
should be noted:
❒park the car in covered, dry and if pos-
sible well-ventilated premises;
❒engage a gear;
❒ check that the handbrake is not en-
gaged;
❒disconnect battery terminals (first dis-
connect the negative terminal) and
check the battery charge. This check
is to be repeated every three months
when the car is left inactive. Recharge
if the optical indicator shows a dark
colour without the central green area;
❒ clean and protect the painted parts us-
ing protective wax;
❒clean and protect the shiny metal parts
using special compounds readily avail-
able.
❒sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber
windscreen and rear window wiper
blades and lift them off the glass;
❒slightly open the windows;
❒ cover the car with a cloth or perforat-
ed plastic sheet. Do not use sheets of
non-perforated plastic as they do not
allow moisture on the car body to
evaporate;
❒inflate tyres to +0,5 bar above the nor-
mal specified pressure and check it at
intervals;
❒ if you don’t disconnect the battery from
the electric system, check its charge
every month and recharge it if the op-
tical indicator shows a dark colour
without the central green area;
❒ do not drain the engine cooling system.IMPORTANT Where relevant, switch off
the electronic car alarm with the remote
control.

“DUALDRIVE”
ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING FAILURE
(red)
Turning the ignition key to MARthe
warning light turns on, but it should go off
after few seconds.
If the warning light stays on, you will not
have steering assistance and the effort on
the steering wheel will be increased, steer-
ing is however possible. Contact Fiat Deal-
ership.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.HIGH TEMPERATURE
ENGINE COOLANT
FLUID (red)
Turning the ignition key to MAR
the warning light turns on, but it should go
off after few seconds.
The warning light turns on when the en-
gine is overheated.
If the warning light comes on when dri-
ving, proceed as follows:
❒normal driving conditions: stop the
car, switch off the engine and check
whether the water level in the reser-
voir is not below the MIN mark. Oth-
erwise wait for few seconds to allow
engine cooling, then open slowly and
carefully the cap, top up coolant and
check whether its level is falling be-
tween MIN and MAX marks in the
reservoir. Check visually any leak and if
when restarting the warning light
comes on again, contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship.
❒Car heavy duty(e.g.: towing trailer
uphill of fully laden car): decrease speed,
if the warning light stays on, stop the
car. Wait for 2 or 3 minutes leaving the
engine on and slightly accelerated to
further activate the circulation of the
coolant fluid, then switch the engine off.
Check proper coolant level as de-
scribed previously.
IMPORTANT Under severe use of the
car, keep the engine on and slightly accel-
erated for few minutes before switching it
off.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.

ENGINE COOLANT FLUID
fig. 14-15-16
The coolant level shall be checked with
cold engine and shall not be lower than
the MINmark on the reservoir.
If the level is low, pour slowly a mixture
of 50% distilled water and 50% PARAFLU
UPof the FL Seleniathroughthe filler
neck A.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU UPand
distilled water gives freeze protection to
–35°C.
fig. 14 - 1.416V version F0C0520mfig. 15 - 1.416V - 1.816V - 2.420V version
F0C0108mfig. 16 - 1.9 Multijet version F0C0469m
The cooling system uses
PARAFLU UPantifreeze. Do
not add fluid having different
specifications from that al-
ready existing. PARAFLU UPcannot
be mixed with other types of fluids.
Should other fluids be added, do not
start the engine and contact Fiat Deal-
ership as soon as possible.Do not remove the reservoir
cap when the engine is hot:
you risk scalding yourself. The cool-
ing system is pressurised. If necessary,
replace the cap only with another
genuine one, otherwise system effi-
ciency could be compromised.
