Extra heater
For very cold climates the diesel version can be fitted
with an extra heater that is fully automatic and ensures
maximum comfort inside the passenger compartment.
RECIRCULATION
With slider on
Tonly the inside air is circulated.
IMPORTANT This function is particularly 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 several people in the
car.
IMPORTANT Do not use the air recirculation function
on rainy/cold days as it would considerably increase
the possibility of the windows misting inside.

RECIRCULATION
When switch
Tis pressed (led on) only internal air
circulates.
IMPORTANT When the outside temperature is very
high, switching on the recirculation system will cool
the air more quickly. Moreover it is very useful when
the outside air is heavily polluted (in a traffic jam,
tunnel, etc.). You are advised against using this facility
for long periods, especially if there are many people in
the car.
IMPORTANT Do not use the air recirculation function
on rainy/cold days as it would considerably increase
the possibility of the windows misting inside.
When the car is fitted with climate control, it is also
fitted with pollen filter. This captures fastidious
particles and dust.
The system uses R134a cooling fluid, which if accidentally spilt, does not damage the environment.
Never use R12 fluid, which could damage the system components.

ESP SYSTEM
(Electronic Stability Program)
(where provided)
The ESP system is an electronic system controlling the
car stability in the event of tyre grip loss.
The ESP system is therefore particularly useful when
grip conditions of the road surfaces change.ESP SYSTEM INTERVENTION
It is signalled by the blinking of the warning light
áon
the instrument panel, to inform the driver that the car
is in critical stability and grip conditions.
ESP SYSTEM OPERATION
The ESP system is automatically activated when the car
is started and cannot be de-activated.
WARNINGThe performance of the system, in terms of active safety should not induce the
driver to take pointless and unnecessary risks. The style of driving must in any case
always be adapted to the conditions of the road surface, visibility an traffic. Road
safety is always the driver’s responsibility.

FAILURE WARNINGS
In the event of failure, the ESP system is automatically disconnected and
the instrument panel warning light (A) comes on together with the
message on the display (see section “Warning lights and messages”).
In this case, go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
WARNINGDuring the use of the space-saver spare wheel, the ESP system carries on working.
However, you must remind that the space-saver spare wheel presents dimensions
smaller than the standard tyre and therefore its grip is reduced as to the other car
tyres.
For correct operation of the ESP system, the tyres must absolutely be of the same
brand and type on all wheels, in perfect conditions and, above all, of type, brand
and size specified.WARNING
