can rely on a rapid and efficient service
provided by skilled operators, on good
equipment and a wide range of parts.
The Fiat Dealership uses Fiat original spare
parts and re-conditioned spare parts.FIAT RE-CONDITIONED
SPARE PARTS
They are Fiat original spare parts/me-
chanical assemblies, already used but giv-
en back to Fiat, which renews them com-
pletely to meet the same qualitative and
reliability requirements of the newly orig-
inal spare parts.
Fiat re-conditioned spare parts:

give the Customers the opportunity to
buy spare mechanical assemblies (en-
gines, transmissions, etc.) at particular-
ly favourable prices;

contribute to safeguard the environ-
ment by reducing scrapping operations
and the disposal of removed materials. FIAT ORIGINAL SPARE PARTS
These spare parts ensure the reliability
and technological quality needed to trav-
el safely. Designed on the basis of the same
project of the components fitted on the
vehicle, the original spare parts undergo
very harsh tests before being produced or
re-conditioned, with the aim of being used
to keep the vehicle performance un-
changed in time.
Therefore, for an accurate and careful
maintenance, choose Fiat original spare
parts (re-conditioned and non re-condi-
tioned), which can be identified by the fea-
tures of their package and which are avail-
able only at the Fiat Dealership.

TURN SIGNAL OPERATION
With the ignition switch in the “ON” po-
sition, move the lever up or down to ac-
tivate the right or left turn signals.

Move the lever all the way upward or
downward to signal. When the turn is
completed, the signal will cancel and the
lever will return to its normal position.Lane change signal
Some times, such as when changing lanes,
the steering wheel is not turned far

moving the lever part way and holding it
there. The lever will return to its normal
position when you release it. REAR FOG LIGHT SWITCH

Driving range
If you selected driving range the last time
you drove the vehicle, the display indicates
“---” for a few seconds and then indicates
the current driving range when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion.
The driving range shown in the display is
the approximate distance you can drive
until the fuel gauge indicates “E”, based on
current driving conditions.
When the remaining fuel in fuel tank
reaches a low level, the display “---” will
appear.
If the low fuel warning light comes on, fill
the fuel tank immediately regardless of the
value of driving range shown in the display.
As the driving range after refueling is cal-
culated based on the most recent driving
condition, the value is different each time
you refuel.
NOTE If you refuel when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position, the driving
range may not indicate the correct value.
When you reconnect the negative (–) ter-
minal to the battery, the value of driving
range will be shown after driving for a
while.Thermometer

temperature.
If the outside temperature nears freezing,
the mark (g) will appear on the display.

tion is not the actual outside temperature
when driving at low speed, or when
stopped.
If there is something wrong with the ther-
mometer, or just after the ignition switch
is turned to the “ON” position, the dis-
play may not indicate the outside tem-
perature.

outside temperature is near freezing, even
if the display does not show the ther-
mometer.

Forced ventilation
The control settings are the same as for
natural ventilation except you set the
blower speed selector to a position oth-
er than “OFF”.
Normal heating (using outside air)
Select “HEAT” and “FRESH AIR”, the
temperature selector to the desired tem-
perature position and the blower speed
selector to the desired blower speed po-
sition. Setting the blower speed selector
to a higher blower speed position in-
creases heating efficiency.
Quick heating
(using recirculated air)
The control settings are the same as for
normal heating except you select “RE-
CIRCULATED AIR”. If you use this heat-
ing method for an extended period of
time, the air in the vehicle can become
contaminated and the windows can be-
come misty. Therefore, use this method
only for quick heating and change to the
normal heating method as soon as possi-
ble.Head cooled/Feet warmed heating
Select “BI-LEVEL” and “FRESH AIR”, the
temperature selector to the desired tem-
perature position, and the blower speed se-
lector to the desired blower speed posi-
tion. Unless the temperature selector is in
the fully COLD position or fully HOT po-
sition, the air that comes out of the cen-
ter and side outlets will be cooler than the
air that comes out of the floor outlets.
Defrosting/Feet warmed heating
Select “HEAT & DEFROST” and “FRESH
AIR”, the temperature selector to the de-
sired temperature position, and the blow-
er speed selector to HIGH. When the
windshield has become clear, set the
blower speed selector to the desired
blower speed position.
Defrosting
Select “DEFROST” and “FRESH AIR”, the
temperature selector to the desired tem-
perature position (higher temperature
provides more efficient defrosting), and
the blower speed selector to HIGH.
When the windshield has become clear,
set the blower speed selector to the de-
sired blower speed position. Recirculated Air (g)
When this mode is selected, the indicator
light will come on, outside air is shut out
and inside air is recirculated. This mode is
suitable when driving through dusty or
polluted air such as in a tunnel, or when
attempting to quickly cool down the in-
terior.
“FRESH AIR” and “RECIRCULATED AIR”
are switched alternately each time the air
intake selector is pushed.
NOTE If you select “RECIRCULATED
AIR” for an extended period of time, the
air in the vehicle can become contami-
nated. Therefore, you should occasional-
ly select “FRESH AIR”.
SYSTEM OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Natural ventilation
Select “VENTILATION” and “FRESH
AIR”, the temperature selector to the de-
sired temperature position, and the blow-
er speed selector to “OFF”. Fresh air will
flow through the vehicle during driving.
