Button T - D
Air recirculation on/off
This function is particularly useful when
the outside air is heavily polluted (in a traf-
fic jam, tunnel, etc.).
Button led on = recirculation on.
Button led off = recirculation off.
With low temperatures or compressor
off, air recirculation is deactivated to pre-
vent window misting up.
IMPORTANT It is inadvisable to use air
recirculation on cold days as it would con-
siderably increase the possibility of win-
dows misting up inside.
During AUTOoperation, due to safety rea-
sons, after long recirculation activation (over
25 minutes) the system will deactivate au-
tomatically air recirculation for 1 minute to
enable outside air inlet.

Temperature setting
Pressing button Õwill raise the passen-
ger’s compartment temperature up to HI
value (maximum heating power).Pressing button Ôwill lower the passen-
ger’s compartment temperature down to
LO value (maximum cooling power).
HI function
This functions can be switched on when
you wish to heat the passenger compart-
ment as quickly as possible; air distribu-
tion and fan speed are controlled by the
system.
To turn this function off, set the required
temperature.
IMPORTANT If the system fluid is not
warm enough, top fan speed will not be
activated immediately to prevent air not
warm enough from entering the passen-
ger compartment.
LO function
This function can be switched on when
you wish to cool the passenger compart-
ment as quickly as possible; with this func-
tion switched on the compressor will be
turned on (if off) whereas air distribution
and fan speed are controlled by the sys-
tem.
To turn this function off, set the required

LOOKING AFTER THE SYSTEM
During the winter, the climate control sys-
tem must be turned on at least once a
month for about ten minutes.
Before summer, have the system checked
at a Fiat Dealership. SWITCHING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM ON
The system can be turned on in different
ways, it is however advisable to set the re-
quired temperature and then to press the
AUTObutton. In this way the system
starts to work fully automatically to reach
the required comfort conditions as soon
as possible.
During automatic operation it is possible:
❒to select the required temperature
(buttons ÔÕ- E);
❒
to activate or to deactivate air recirculation
(button T- D);
❒to activate fast window demisting/de-
frosting (button --L);
❒
to select air distribution (buttons ¥w
μ- G H I);
❒
to select fan speed (buttons ÕÔ- F).
The system will automatically modify its
settings according to set changes and the
button led will turn off. To restore auto-
matic operation press again button AU-
TO.The system is filled with
R134a refrigerant which will
not pollute the environment
in the event of leakage.
Under no circumstances should R12
fluid be used as it is incompatible with
the system components.

Accessories installed on
longitudinal bars
Remove accessories like: roof racks, ski
racks, luggage container, etc. from the roof
as soon as they are no longer used. These
accessories lower air penetration and ad-
versely affect consumption levels. When
needing to carry particularly 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.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine with the car at
a standstill or at idle or high speed: under
these conditions the engine warms up
much more slowly, increasing electrical
consumption and emissions. It is therefore
advisable to move off immediately, slow-
ly, avoiding high speeds: this way the en-
gine will warm faster.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid accelerating when waiting at traffic
lights or before switching off the engine.
This and also double declutching is ab-
solutely pointless on modern cars and al-
so increases consumption and pollution.
Gear selection
As soon as the conditions of the traffic and
road allow, use a higher gear. Using a low
gear to obtain brilliant performance in-
creases consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high
gear increases consumption, emissions an
engine wear.CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Some useful tips are given below for fuel
saving and reducing harmful emissions of
CO
2and other pollutants (nitrogen ox-
ides, unburnt hydrocarbons, Particulate
Matter (PM) etc.).
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.
Unnecessary loads
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.

IMPORTANT - Air cleaner
If the car is used on dusty roads change
the air cleaner more frequently than the
indications in the “Service schedule”. If in
doubt as to how often the engine oil and
air cleaner should be changed according
to how you use the car, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
IMPORTANT - Pollen filter
If the car is used frequently in dusty or
heavily polluted environments it is advis-
able to replace the filtering element more
frequently; in particular it should be re-
placed if a reduction of the amount of air
admitted to the passenger compartment
is noted.
IMPORTANT - Battery
The charge in the battery should be
checked at the start of winter to limit the
risk of electrolyte freezing.This check should be carried out more
frequently if the car is used mainly for
short trips, or if it is fitted with accessories
that permanently absorb electricity even
with the ignition key removed, especially
in the case of after market accessories. If
the car is used in hot climates or particu-
larly harsh conditions it is wise to check
the level of the battery fluid (electrolyte)
more frequently than specified in the “Ser-
vice schedule”. IMPORTANT - Engine oil
Should prevailing use of the car be under
one of the following specially heavy con-
ditions:
❒ trailer or caravan towing;
❒dusty roads;
❒short distances (less than 7- 8 km) re-
peated and with external temperatures
below zero;
❒ frequently idling engines or long dis-
tance low speed driving (e.g. taxis or
door-to-door deliveries) or in case of
a long term inactivity;
replace engine oil more frequently than
required on “Service Schedule”.
IMPORTANT - Diesel filter
The possibility of topping up with diesel
fuel not complying with EN590 European
Norm might make it necessary to replace
the filter more frequently than indicated
in the “Service Schedule”.

To top up, remove the cap A.
Pour a mixture of water and TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC35, in the following
concentrations:
30% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35 and
70% water in summer.
50% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35 and
50% water in winter.
In case of temperatures below –20°C, use
undiluted TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35
fluid. ENGINE COOLANT fig. 7 and 8
The coolant level shall be checked with
cold engine and shall be within the MIN
and MAX marks on the tank.
If the level is low, pour slowly a mixture
of 50% distilled water and 50% PARAFLU
UP of the FL Selenia Group through the
filler neck Auntil the level reaches MAX.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU UP and dis-
tilled water gives freeze protection to
–35°C.
For particularly hard climate conditions,
we recommend use of a 60% Paraflu UP
and 40% demineralized water mixture.

The engine cooling system us-
es protective antifreeze fluid
PARAFLU UP. Use the same
fluid type as that already in
the cooling system when topping up.
PARAFLU UP fluid cannot be mixed
with any other type of fluid. Should it
happen, under no circumstances start
the engine; contact a Fiat Dealership.
The cooling system is pres-
surised. If necessary, replace
the cap only with another genuine
one, otherwise system efficiency
could be compromised. Do not re-
move the reservoir cap when the en-
gine is hot: you risk scalding yourself.
