HEATING AND VENTILATION
ƒair flow downwards (5) and (6) and also to the windscreen (3);
-to demist and defrost windscreen (3) and front side windows
(1).
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
Proceed as follows:

Air temperature
adjustment knobs H-N
Turning the knobs
clockwise or
counterclockwise,
highers or lowers the temperature of the air required
respectively in the left zone (knob N) or right zone
(knob H) of the passenger compartment.
It is possible to personalise required temperatures
(driver and passenger) with a maximum difference of 7
°C.
The temperatures set are shown on the displays near
the relevant knobs.
Pressing button A (MONO) automatically aligns the
temperature on the front passenger’s side with that on
the driver’s side. It is therefore possible to set the
same temperature between the two zones simply
turning the knob on the driver’s side (N).
This function is provided to simplify temperature
adjustment of the whole passenger compartment when
only the driver is on board.
Separate operation of the set temperatures is
automatically restored by turning knobs (H) or
pressing button A (MONO) again when the button led
is on.Turning the knobs clockwise or counterclockwise until
they reach the extreme selections HI or LO, the
maximum heating or cooling functions are respectively
engaged:
❒HI function (highest heating power):
this is activated by turning the temperature knob
clockwise above the max. value (32 °C). It can be
activated independently from the driver’s or
passenger’s side or both (also selecting the MONO
function).
This function can be engaged when requiring to heat
the passenger compartment as quickly as possible,
exploiting the maximum potential of the system. This
function uses the maximum temperature of the
coolant fluid, while air distribution and fan speed are
controlled according to the system settings.
More particularly, max. fan speed will not be
immediately engaged if coolant is not hot enough; this
to prevent admitting air that is not warm enough to
the passenger compartment.
All manual settings are however possible with this
function on.

To switch the function off, simply turn the
temperature knob counterclockwise and set the
required temperature.
❒LO function (highest cooling power):
this is activated by turning the temperature knob
counterclockwise below the min. value (16 °C). It can
be activated independently from the driver’s or
passenger’s side or both (also selecting the MONO
function).
This function can be engaged when requiring to cool
the passenger compartment as quickly as possible,
exploiting the maximum potential of the system. This
function engages inside air recirculation and climate
control compressor, while air distribution and fan
speed are controlled according to environmental
conditions. All manual settings are however possible
with this function on.
To switch the function off, simply turn the
temperature knob clockwise and set the required
temperature.Front air distribution
selection buttons
(I-M)
Pressing the relevant
buttons it is possible to
manually choose one of the five possible air
distributions to the left and right side of the passenger
compartment:
▲Air flow to the windscreen and front side window
vents to demist or defrost them.
˙Air flow to dashboard central and side vents to pro-
vide satisfactory ventilation to the chest and face,
specially during the summer.
▼Air flow towards the front and rear lower parts of
the passenger compartment. Due to the natural ten-
dency of heat to spread upwards, this type of distri-
bution allows heating of the passenger compartment
in the shortest time, also giving a prompt feeling of
warmth to the coldest parts of the body.
˙
▼Splitting of the air flow between the vents to the
lower part of the passenger compartment (warmest
air) and the dashboard centre and side outlets
(coolest air). This air flow distribution is particu-
larly useful in spring and autumn, when the sun is
shining.
▲
▼Splitting of the air flow between the lower part of
the passenger compartment and the windscreen and
front side window demisting/defrosting vents. This
type of air distribution allows satisfactory heating of
the passenger compartment while preventing pos-
sible misting of the windows.

WARNINGAlways remove the ignition key when you get out of the car to prevent the sunroof
being operated accidentally and constituting a danger to the people left in the car.
The improper use of the sunroof can be dangerous. Before and during its operation
ensure that any passengers are not at risk from the moving roof either by personal
objects getting caught in the mechanism or by being injured by it directly. Do not open the sunroof if there is snow or ice on it: it could be damaged.
In case of cross roof rack, you are suggested to use the sunroof only in “spoiler” position.
EMERGENCY OPERATION
If the switch does not work, the sunroof can be operated manually as
follows:
❒remove the protective cover between the two sun visors
❒take the provided Allen wrench
❒insert the provided wrench into the seat (A) and turn it:
– clockwise to open the sunroof
– counter-clockwise to close the sunroof.

BOOT
The boot tailgate (when unlocked) can be opened only from the outside
through the electric opening handle set above the number plate holder.
If doors are unlocked the boot can be opened at any time.
Through the set-up menu of the cluster display (see “Reconfigurable
multifunction display” in the present chapter) it is possible to activate the
“Independent boot unlocking”: in this way the boot is not unlocked
together with the doors; to open it press button
Ron the remote
control.
The tailgate opening is indicated by double flashing of direction indicators.F0H0104m

(where fitted)

PRETENSIONERS
To increase the efficiency of the seat belts, the vehicle
is fitted with pretensioners. These devices, in the
event of a violent crash, rewind the seat belts a few
centimetres. In this way they ensure that the seat belt
adheres perfectly to the wearer before the restraining
action begins.
The seat belt locks to indicate that the device has
intervened; the seat belt cannot be drawn back up
even when guiding it manually.IMPORTANT To obtain the highest degree of
protection from the action of the pretensioning device,
wear the seat belt keeping it firmly close to the chest
and pelvis.
A small amount of smoke may be produced. This
smoke is in no way toxic and presents no fire hazard.
The pretensioner does not require any maintenance
or greasing.
Anything that modifies its original conditions
invalidates its efficiency.
If due to unusual natural events (floods, sea storm,
etc.) the device has been affected by water and mud, it
must necessarily be replaced.

WARNINGThe pretensioner can only be used once. After a collision that has triggered it, have it
replaced at a Fiat Dealership. Pretensioner validity is written on the plate set on the
upper oddment compartment on passenger side. Pretensioners should be replaced at Fiat
Dealership as this date approaches.
Operations which lead to knocks, vibrations or localised heating (over 100°C for a maximum of 6
hours) in the area around the pretensioners may cause damage or trigger them. These devices are
not affected by vibrations caused by irregularities of the road surface or low obstacles such as kerbs,
etc. Contact a Fiat Dealership for any assistance.
