Feet
Air is directed towards the feet
through:
– three front vents for the first row
(2 on the driver’s side and 1 on the
passenger’s side);
– four vents on the floor (2 for the
second row and 2 for the third row).
Windscreen/feet
Air is distributed with the same per-
centage to the feet (40%) and wind-
screen vents (40%), but a small per-
centage is devoted to ventilation (20%)
in order to guarantee the passenger
compartment heating and to prevent
frosting.
This type of air distribution is applied
by the climate control system auto-
matic operation, especially when the
external temperature is very low and
it is necessary to direct some warm air
towards the driver’s hands.
MAX-DEF function
Air is completely directed to the
windscreen and front side windows.
This function is used for the wind-
screen/side window rapid defrost-ing/demisting and rear heated window
activation with only one operation.
Such function is activated manually
and enables the following functions:
– ventilation with maximum air ca-
pacity;
– air mixing completely hot;
– air recirculation off (outside air);
– compressor on;
– air distribution to the windscreen;
– rear heated window on.
When the MAX-DEF function is on
it is possible to alter the air capacity
and to deactivate the rear heated win-
dow.
The rear heated window works for
a limited time and turns off automati-
cally.AIR QUALITY
The system is fitted with a pollen fil-
ter which prevents dust particles and
pollen coming from the outside from
getting into the system.
Have the pollen filter checked at a
Fiat Dealership at least once a year,
possibly at the beginning of spring/
summer.
If the car is often used in dusty or
highly polluted areas, you should check
or change the pollen filter more fre-
quently.

In addition, still with the climate con-
trol system working in automatic
mode, when the external temperature
is lower than 18°C, supplementary
fans can be used to direct some warm
air to the second and third row.
If cold air is required, treated air di-
rected to the feet is distributed to all
three rows.
MAX-DEF function
Air is completely directed to the
windscreen and front side windows.
This function is used for the wind-
screen/side window rapid defrost-
ing/demisting and rear heated window
activation with only one operation.

and enables the following functions:
– ventilation with maximum air ca-
pacity;
– air mixing completely hot;– air recirculation off (outside air);
– compressor on;
– air distribution to the windscreen;

When the MAX-DEF function is on
it is possible to alter the air capacity
(the minimum corresponds to 1 fan
notch) and to deactivate the rear heat-
ed window.
The rear heated window works for
a limited time and turns off automati-
cally.
MIXING
Temperature can be adjusted rang-
ing from a minimum of 14°C to a max-
imum of 28°C, i.e. “completely cold”
and “completely hot”. AIR QUALITY
