REV COUNTER fig. 18
The indicator Bshows the engine rev
number.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection
control system gradually shuts off the flow
of fuel when the engine is “over-revving”
resulting in a gradual loss of engine pow-
er.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter
may indicate a gradual or sudden higher-
ing of the speed.
This is normal as it takes place during nor-
mal operation, for example when activat-
ing the climate control system or the fan.
In particular a slow change in the speed
preserves the battery charge.
INSTRUMENTS
Instrument background color and type
may vary according to the version.

Air recirculation on/off knob C
U= outside air intake
T= inside air recirculation
This function is particularly useful when
the outside air is heavily polluted (in a traf-
fic jam, tunnel etc.). However, it is better
not to use it for long periods, especially
if there several people in the car.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the re-
quired “heating” or “cooling” conditions
faster. Do not use the air recirculation
function on rainy/cold days as it could con-
siderably increase the possibility of the
windows misting inside.Air distribution knob D

VENTILATON
To ventilate the passenger’s compartment
properly proceed as follows:
❒central and side vents completely open;
❒turn knob Ato the blue section;
❒turn knob Cto U;

FAST DEMISTING/DEFROSTING
(MAX-DEF function)
Proceed as follows:
❒turn knob Ato the red section;
❒turn knob Cto U;
❒
turn knob Dto -;
❒
turn knob Bto -(top fan speed).
After demisting/defrosting, operate the
controls to keep the required comfort.
IMPORTANT The climate control system
is very useful to speed up demisting since
it dehumidifies the air. Set controls to
demisting function and switch on the cli-
mate control system by pressing button
B; the knob led will turn on.Preventive demisting procedure
In the event of considerable outside mois-
ture and/or rain and/or considerable dif-
ferences in temperature outside and in-
side the passenger compartment, perform
the following preventive demisting proce-
dure:
❒turn knob Ato the red section;
❒turn knob Cto U;
❒turn knob Dto -with the possibility
of passing to position ≤if the windows
do not mist up;
❒turn knob Bto 2ndspeed. HEATING
Proceed as follows:
❒turn knob Ato the red section;
❒turn knob Dto the required symbol;
❒turn knob Bto the required speed.
FAST HEATING
For fast heating of the passenger com-
partment, proceed as follows:
❒turn knob Ato the red section;
❒turn knob Cto T;
❒
turn knob Dto -;
❒
turn knob Bto -(top fan speed).
Then use the controls to keep the re-
quired comfort conditions and turn knob
C to U.
IMPORTANT With cold engine, you have
to wait for a few minutes to let the sys-
tem fluid reach the operating temperature.

partment, proceed as follows:
❒turn knob Ato the blue section;
❒turn knob Cto T;
❒turn knob Dto ¥;
❒

❒turn knob Cto U;
❒turn knob Bto reduce the fan speed.LOOKING AFTER THE SYSTEM
During winter, the climate control system
must be turned on at least once a month
for about 10 minutes. Before summer,
have the system checked at a Fiat Deal-
ership.The system is filled with
R134a refrigerant which will
not pollute the environment
in the event of leakage. Un-
der no circumstances should R12 fluid
be used as it is incompatible with the
system components.

Button AUTO - A
Automatic climate control system
function on/off
Pressing the AUTObutton and setting
the required temperature, the system au-
tomatically adjusts the temperature, the
amount and distribution of the air admit-
ted to the passenger compartment and
controls compressor operation.Button √- B
Compressor on/off
Pressing the button when the button led
is on, will deactivate compressor and turn
the button led off.
Pressing the button when the led is off will
activate compressor and turn the button
led on.
When turning the compressor off:❒the system will deactivate air recircula-
tion to prevent window misting up;
❒it is not possible to admit air to the pas-
senger compartment with a tempera-
ture below the outside temperature
(the displayed temperature value will
flash when the system cannot guaran-
tee the required comfort conditions);
❒the fan speed can be set to zero man-
ually (with compressor on, the fan
speed cannot be lower that one bar on
the display).
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
(where provided)
According to the temperature set by the
user, the climate control system auto-
matically adjusts:
❒temperature of the air sent to the pas-
senger’s compartment;
❒fan speed (continuous air flow varia-
tion);
❒ air distribution in the passenger’s com-
partment;
❒compressor activation / deactivation (to
cool / dehumidify air);
❒air recirculation on / off.
The system continuously works to keep con-
stant the comfort inside the passenger com-
partment and to compensate any variation
of the outside climate conditions.
All the above functions can be changed
manually by selecting the required func-
tion/s and by changing the set parameters.
Manual setting does not impair automat-
ic control of the other functions although
the AUTObutton led is off.
Manual selections prevail over automatic
ones and remain in storage until the user
decides to resume automatic control by
pressing button AUTO (except when the
system cuts in for particular safety condi-
tions).
