TWO-ZONE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
(where provided)
DESCRIPTION
The car is fitted with a two-zone climate
control system which makes it possible to
separately adjust the air temperature on
the driver’s side and on the passenger’s
side.
The system is fitted with the AQS func-
tion (Air Quality System) that turns on in-
side air recirculation automatically when
the antipollution sensor detects the pres-
ence of outside polluted air (for example
when driving in the city, queues and tun-
nels).

SWITCHING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM ON
The system can be started by pressing any
button, but it is advisable to set the tem-
peratures required on the display;
then press button AUTO.
It is possible to personalise required tem-
peratures (driver and passenger) with a
maximum difference of 7°C.
The climate control system compressor
works only with the engine running and
outside temperature over 4°C.It is possible to personalise the choices
made automatically by the system inter-
vening manually on the following controls:
❒fan speed adjustment knob;
❒air distribution selection button;
❒inside air recirculation and AQS func-
tion on/off button;
❒climate control compressor button.
It is inadvisable to use air re-
circulation on rainy/cold
days as it would considerably increase
the possibility of windows misting up
inside.
WARNING
HOW TO USE THE
AUTOMATIC FUNCTION
(AUTO)
Press button AUTO; the system will au-
tomatically adjust:
❒air inlet in the passenger’s compart-
ment;
❒air distribution in the passenger’s com-
partment;
thus cancelling all the previous manual ad-
justments.
When the climate control system is work-
ing automatically, FULL AUTO is dis-
played.

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 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) BUTTON
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.

case symbol ò flashes on the display.
The switching off of the climate control
compressor remains in storage even when
the engine has been stopped. To restore
automatic control for switching on the cli-
mate control compressor, press button
❄or AUTO, in which case, the other man-
ual settings set will be cancelled.AIR DISTRIBUTION SELECTION
Pressing one or more buttons
Q/E/Zit is possible to choose manually 7 of the
possible air distributions to the passenger
compartment:
QAir flow to the windscreen and
front side window vents to demist
or defrost them.
ZAir flow towards the front and
rear lower parts of the passenger
compartment. This type of distri-
bution allows heating of the pas-
senger compartment in the short-
est time.

ZESplitting of the air flow between
front and rear vents, centre and
side dashboard outlets, rear out-
let, windscreen and front side win-
dow demisting vents.
EAir flow to the dashboard centre
and side outlets (passenger’s

SUPPLEMENTARY HEATER
(where provided)
This device heats up the passenger com-
partment more rapidly in cold weather
conditions with the engine coolant tem-
perature very low.
In the above climate conditions, the de-
vice comes on automatically when the en-
gine is started with at least one bar of the
fan speed indicator lit up.
The radiator is turned off automatically
when conditions of comfort are achieved.
IMPORTANT heater activation is pre-
vented if the battery voltage is too low.SWITCHING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM OFF
Press button OFF.
The following information is displayed:
❒writing OFF;
❒outside temperature;
❒inside air recirculation on (button led
Ton).

CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may
help you to keep the running costs of your
car down and lower the amount of toxic
emissions released into the atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out
in accordance with the “Service schedule”.
Tyres
Check the pressure of the tyres routine-
ly at an interval of no more than 4 weeks:
if the pressure is too low, consumption
levels increase as resistance to rolling is
higher.Carichi inutili
Do not travel with too much luggage
stowed in the boot. The weight of the car
(especially when driving in town) and its
trim greatly affects consumption and sta-
bility.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from
the roof as soon as they are no longer
used. These accessories lower air pene-
tration and adversely affect consumption
levels. When needing to carry particular-
ly voluminous objects, preferably use a
trailer.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount
of time needed. Rear heated window, ad-
ditional headlights, windscreen wipers and
heater fan need a considerable amount of
energy, therefore increasing the require-
ment of current increases fuel consump-
tion (up to +25% in the urban cycle).Climate control
The air conditioner is an additional load
which greatly affects the engine leading to
higher consumption (on average up to
+20%). When the temperature outside
the car permits it, use the air vents where
possible.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic
items may adversely affect air drag and
consumption levels.

control panel or at least every 2 years.
For 1.4 T-JET 150 HP version, in order to ensure correct operation and avoid significant damages to the engine, it is mandatory:
- to use spark plugs specifically certified for the T-JET engine only, of the same type and brand (see paragraph “Engine”);
- to replace the plugs as often as required by the Programmed Maintenance Plan;
- we recommend to refer to the Fiat Dealership.
If the car is used mainly on urban routes or if the yearly kilometres travelled are less than 10,000 km, the engine oil and filter must be changed every 12 months.
