press button 6briefly: the display light will
go off and number 3corresponding to the
selected preset time will disappear.Recalling a pre-set time fig. 59
Press button 6repeatedly until the re-
quired preset starting time appears on the
display (number 3) After 10 seconds, the
time will disappear (it will stay stored),
number 3 and the display will light up.
IMPORTANT To change or delete pre-
set times, follow the instructions in the
paragraphs above.Turning the heater off
According to the operation mode (auto-
matic or manual), the heater can be turned
off:
❒automatically,after the preset pe-
riod of time (60 minutes when the dis-
play light is red);
❒manuallyby pressing again button
“heat now” on the timer (flame 1 but-
ton).
In each case, the heater warning light, the
display and the passenger compartment
fan will be turned off and the heater flame
will be blown out.
The coolant circulation pump will run for
approximately two minutes after the
heater has been turned off to dispose of
as much heat as possible. During this phase
the heater can, however, be turned on.

❒Always remember to turn the heater
off when refuelling or standing in ser-
vice stations to avoid fires and explo-
sions.
❒Do not park the vehicle over inflam-
mable material such as paper, dry grass
or leaves: fire risk!
❒The temperature near the heater must
never exceed 120°C (e.g. during paint-
ing operations in a workshop oven).
Higher temperatures could damage
the electronic control unit compo-
nents.
❒When the engine is off, the heater takes
power from the battery: it is conse-
quently important to run the engine for
a certain period of time in order to re-
store the battery charge.
❒Follow the prescriptions in section
“Vehicle maintenance” at paragraph
“Engine coolant level” to check the
coolant level. The coolant in the cir-
cuit must contain at least 10% an-
tifreeze fluid.
❒Maintenance and repairs must always
be carried out by a Fiat Dealership and
only genuine spare parts must be used.
MAINTENANCE
Have the heater checked at a Fiat Deal-
ership periodically (always before winter).
This will ensure safe and cheap running
and long appliance life.
The heater burns fuel in the
same way as the engine,
though, of course, to a lesser degree
and therefore to avoid intoxication
and suffocation, never use the sup-
plementary heater in closed areas,
garages or workshops not equipped
with specific exhaust evacuation de-
vices even for short periods of time.
WARNING
IMPORTANT The parking heater goes off
when the battery voltage is low to enable
the vehicle to be started up.
IMPORTANT Before turning on the de-
vice, ensure that the fuel level is higher
than the reserve. Otherwise the device
could lock and require the assistance of
the Fiat Dealership.

CORRECT USE
OF THE VEHICLE
If the engine does not start at the first at-
tempt, return the ignition key to STOP
before repeating starting.
If, when the ignition key is at MAR, the in-
strument panel warning light
Yremains
lit together with warning light
mturn
the key to STOPand then back to MAR;
if the warning lights remain on, try with
the other keys provided with the vehicle.
IMPORTANT If the instrument panel
warning light
Ystays on glowing steadi-
ly, contact immediately Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition key
to MARwhen the engine is off.
The warning light
mwill
flash for 60 seconds at start-
up or during prolonged crank-
ing to indicate a fault in the
glow plug heating system. You can use
the vehicle as usual if the engine starts
but you should contact Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.
HOW TO WARM UP THE
ENGINE AFTER IT HAS JUST
STARTED
Proceed as follows:
❒drive off slowly, letting the engine turn
at medium revs. Do not accelerate
abruptly;
❒do not drive at full performance for
the initial kilometres. Wait until the
coolant temperature gauge starts
moving.
Remember that the servo-
brake and power steering are
not operational until the en-
gine has been started, there-
fore much effort than usual is required
on the brake pedal and steering wheel.
Never bump start the engine
by pushing, towing or coast-
ing downhill as this could
cause fuel to flow into the
catalytic exhaust system and damage
it beyond repair.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition to STOPwhile the en-
gine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a taxing drive, you
should allow the engine to “catch its
breath” before turning it off by letting it
idle to allow the temperature in the en-
gine compartment to fall.
A quick burst on the acceler-
ator before turning off the en-
gine serves absolutely no
practical purpose, it wastes
fuel and is damaging especially to tur-
bocharged engines.

On certain versions the dedicated message
is displayed.
¬If when turning the ignition
key to MAR, the warning
light ¬does not turn on or stays on
when travelling there could be a fail-
ure in safety systems; in this event air
bags or pretensioners could not trig-
ger in case of impact or, in a minor
number of cases, they could trigger
accidentally. Contact Fiat Dealership
immediately to have the system
checked.
WARNING
The failure of the warning
light ¬(warning light off) is
also indicated by the flashing for
more than the normal 4 seconds of
the passenger’s front air bag deacti-

FLUID (red)
Turning the ignition key to MARthe
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, proceed as
follows:
❒normal driving conditions: stop
the vehicle, switch off the engine and
check whether the water level in the
reservoir is not below the MIN mark.
Otherwise wait for few seconds to al-
low the engine cooling, then open
slowly and carefully the cap, top up
coolant and check whether its level is
falling between MIN and MAX marks
in the reservoir. Check visually any
leak. If, when restarting, the warning
light comes on again, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
