ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE GAUGE fig. 19
This shows the temperature of the engine
coolant fluid and begins working when the
fluid temperature exceeds approx. 50°C.
Under normal conditions, the needle
should hover around the middle of the
scale according to the working conditions.
CLow engine coolant temperature.
HHigh engine coolant temperature.
The turning on of the warning light B(on
certain versions with a message on the re-
configurable multifunction display) indi-
cates that the coolant fluid temperature is
too high; in this case, stop the engine and
contact a Fiat Dealership.

Ffull tank (see the indications given in
paragraph “At the filling station").
The reserve warning light Aturns on to
indicate that approximately 5 litres of fu-
el are left in the tank.
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost

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).
