and two or more sound warnings
(“gong”) are emitted.
The indicator and warning lights
come on in the following circum-
stances:
BATTERY NOT
RECHARGED
PROPERLY (Red)
When there is a malfunction in the
current generating system.
The light comes on when you turn
the ignition key to M, but it should go
out when the engine starts.
A delay in the light going out is ac-
ceptable only when the engine is idling.
If the warning light remains lit con-
tact immediately a Fiat Dealership.HANDBRAKE

(Red)
The light comes on when you turn
the ignition key to M, but it should go
out after a couple of seconds. The

The warning light comes on when
you turn the ignition key to M, but it
should go out after a couple of sec-
onds.
The warning light comes on when
the ABS is not working properly. The

If the warning lamp does
not go out within the next
2 or 3 minutes, switch the
engine off and get in touch with a
Fiat Dealership.
OIL PRESSURE TOO
LOW (Red)
The light comes on when
you turn the ignition key to M, but it
should go out when the engine starts.
A delay in the light going out is ac-
ceptable only when the engine is idling.
If the engine has been taxed heavily,
the light may flash when idling. It
should, however, go out when you ac-
celerate slightly.

In this case violent brak-
ing may be accompanied
by early rear wheel lock-
ing with the possibility of skid-
ding. Drive the car extremely
carefully to the nearest Fiat Deal-
ership to have the system
checked.
If the warning lamp
lights up while the vehicle
is moving, switch the en-

SYSTEM OPERATION
fig. 88-89
The system can be activated in sev-
eral ways:
– turning the main fan slider clock-
wise (L);
– or pressing button A(+/–) or E
(+/–);
– or pressing one of buttons (H, I,
M);
In these three cases the system re-
stores all the operation functions
stored before turning it off.
– or pressing one of buttons B, D,
N; in this case the automatic mode is
selected;– or pressing button G; in this case
the MAX-DEF function is selected.
The system automatically stores the
settings prior to the system switching
off, but it also takes into consideration
the vehicle stop and other external pa-
rameters, i.e.:
– if the engine is turned off for 20
minutes with the same internal tem-
perature, the system is restored keep-
ing the same settings. If in that period
temperature changes considerably, the
system restores the temperature pri-
or to switching off;
– if the engine is turned off for more
than 20 minutes, the system is
switched on in automatic mode, even
it was off before the vehicle stop, with-
out changing the temperature value.SETTINGS fig. 88-89
The user can choose the following
options:
• wished temperature setting:
this is possible pressing button A(+/–)
or E(+/–) and checking the temper-
ature value on the display (C). It is al-
so possible to split temperature and
set different values for the driver and
the passenger; the maximum differ-
ence is 5°C.
Temperature can be increased or de-
creased by setting different steps
which can be viewed on the display:
1°C between 14°C and 18°C and be-
tween 24°C and 28°C, 0.5°C between
18°C and 24°C.

TURNING THE SYSTEM OFF
The system can be switched off by
turning knurled knob Lanticlockwise
until the car shape is displayed with-
out the fan symbol.
When the system is turned off it
makes the following operations:
– storing of conditions prior to
switching off;
– the graphics on display Cgo off ex-
cept for the car shape;
– the air recirculation is taken to
open position (outside air intake);
– the compressor is excluded;
– the fan is excluded;
– the air is distributed to the wind-
screen;
– the air mixing is in “completely
cold” position.FAILURE INDICATION
If any failures are detected (locked
switches, sensor malfunction, electri-
cal failures, etc.) the system automat-
ically sets the “recovery” mode, which
is displayed by the flashing points sep-
arating the temperature decimals on
the display C. In this case contact a Fi-
at Dealership as soon as possible.
Recovery mode
The system will work in the follow-
ing way:
– driver’s and passenger’s tem-
peratures: aligned and evolving in the
same way;
if buttons Aor Eare locked tem-
perature is set at 21°C by the system;
– main fan, distribution, com-
pressor, recirculation: they work in
automatic mode (AUTO);
– AUTO function:main fan, air dis-
tribution, compressor and air recircu-
lation are automatically controlled by
the system and the impulses on the
relative switches have no effect;– MAX-DEF function: the system
directs air to the windscreen and the
air distribution, compressor, AUTO
and air recirculation switches are not
active, while the main fan and tem-
perature functions are still active;
– REAR function: additional fans
cannot be switched on;
– rear window: cannot be switched
on.
INDEPENDENT ADDITIONAL
HEATER
To improve your comfort, cars with
JTD engines, can be fitted with an in-
dependent additional heater.
After switching the engine off or with
engine idling, the additional heater
could stay on hissing and exhaling
smoke and smell.

To engage the reverse gear (R) from
the neutral position:
– lift the sliding ring A-fig. 111-112
under the knob and move the lever on
the left and then forward.Press the clutch pedal
fully when changing gear.
The floor under the ped-
al must therefore be clear and
any floor mats must lie flat and
not get in the way of the pedals.ELECTRONIC

TRANSMISSION
It has four gears and a reverse which
adapt to the driver’s driving style ac-
cording to the road conditions and the
vehicle load.
IMPORTANTTo use the auto-
matic electronic gear (and the relative
Shift-lock safety device) in the correct
way, read carefully the following in-
structions.

Neutral (N)
It corresponds to the neutral posi-
tion of a traditional mechanic gear.Reverse (R)
To engage the reverse
the vehicle must be sta-
tionary, the engine idling
and the accelerator pedal re-
leased. Then follow the instruc-
tions given in “Engine starting”
paragraph in this chapter.
When the engine is at Rit is not pos-
sible to start the engine.Parking (P)
Pposition locks drive wheels.
Engage this gear only when the ve-
hicle is stationary and apply also the
handbrake. Then follow the instruc-
tions given in “Engine starting” para-
graph in this chapter.
IMPORTANTIf the lever is not
positioned correctly, the last stable en-
gaged gear flashes on the display. To move the lever from
N, release the accelerator
pedal, let the engine idling
and follow the instructions given
in “Engine starting” paragraph in
this chapter.
When the lever is at N it is possible
to start the engine.

It is dangerous to let the
engine run in a garage or
other closed area. The
engine consumes oxygen and
gives off carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide and other poisonous
fumes.
– Make sure the handbrake is up and
the gear lever in Por N: the engine
can be started only with the gear in
these two positions.
– Turn the ignition key to Dwithout
pressing the accelerator pedal.
If the engine does not start at the
first attempt, return the ignition key
to Sbefore trying to start the engine
again.

STARTING THE ENGINEIf the instrument panel warning light
stays on when the ignition key is at M,
turn the key to Sand then back to M;
if the warning light still remains lit, try
with the other keys provided with the
vehicle.
If you are still unable to start the en-
gine (see “In an emergency” chapter)
contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
IMPORTANTDo not leave the ig-
nition key at Mwhen the engine is off
to prevent draining the battery charge.MOVING THE CAR
Proceed as follows:
– press fully the brake pedal;
– select the required gear lever po-
sition;
– accelerate progressively; the vehi-
cle is started and the gear shift de-
pends on the position selected.
When the ignition key is
at M, it is possible to shift
the gear lever from P on-
ly when the brake pedal is fully
depressed (Shift-lock safety de-
vice).
