Window demisting
In the event of considerable external moisture and/or rain
and/or large differences in temperature inside and outside
the passenger compartment, perform the following
preventive window demisting procedure:
❒turn the ring nut A to the red section;
❒switch off the air recirculation by turning the knob D
to
Ú;
❒turn the ring nut C to -or to ®if the windows
do not demist;
❒turn the knob B to the 2ndspeed.
IMPORTANT The climate control system is very useful
for preventing the windows misting up in presence of
high humidity since it dehumidifies the air introduced
into the passenger compartment. IMPORTANT to ensure fast demisting/defrosting, if an
additional heater/air conditioner is present (under the
front or rear seat on Panorama and Combi versions),
if it is activated, turn it off using the button F (LED off)
located on the control panel fig. 57.
After demisting/defrosting, operate the controls to
restore the required comfort conditions.
IMPORTANT The climate control system is very useful
for speeding up the demisting because it dehumidifies the
air. Adjust the controls as described above and press the
button E to switch the climate control system on; the
LED in the button will light up.

The intake air temperature is always automatically
controlled according to the temperature set on the display
(except for when the system is off or in certain conditions
when the compressor is not running).
The system allows the following parameters and
functions to be set or altered manually: air temperature,
fan speed (continuous variation); air distribution in
seven positions; compressor enablement, fast
defrosting/demisting
function; air recirculation; switching off of the system;

SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
GENERAL INFORMATION
The automatic climate control system adjusts the
temperature, the quantity and the distribution of the air
in the passenger compartment.
The temperature control is based on the “equivalent
temperature”: in other words, the system continuously
works to keep the comfort level inside the vehicle
constant and to compensate for possible variations in
outside conditions, including the sun’s rays detected by
a dedicated sensor. The automatically controlled
parameters and functions are:
❒air temperature at the vents;
❒air distribution at the vents;
❒fan speed (continuous air flow variation);
❒compressor activation (to cool/dehumidify the air);
❒air recirculation.
All functions may be changed manually. In other words,
you may select one or more functions and change the
parameters as required. Automatic control of the
manually changed functions will be suspended: the
system will override your settings only for safety-related
reasons (e.g. risk of misting up). Manual selections will
always take priority over automatic settings and will be
stored until the user switches the system back to
automatic operation by pressing the AUTO button again
expect for the cases in which the system will intervene
for particular, safety-related reasons. You can adjust one
function manually without affecting the automatic
control of the others.

USING THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
The system can be started in different ways, but it is
advisable to start by pressing the AUTO button and
then turning the knob to set the temperature required
on the display. The system will start running
automatically in this way and the set temperature will be
reached as quickly as possible. The system will adjust
the temperature, the quantity and the distribution of the
air introduced into the passenger compartment and, by
managing the recirculation function, the activation of the
compressor. During fully automatic operation, the only
manual intervention required is the possible activation
of the following functions:
❒Òair recirculation, to keep it always on or off;
❒Zto speed up demisting/defrosting of the front
windows, rear window and door mirrors.During fully automatic system operation, you can change
the set temperature, air distribution and fan speed at
any time by using the relevant buttons or knobs: the
system will automatically change its settings to adjust to
the new requirements. During fully automatic operation
(FULL AUTO), the word FULL will disappear if the air
distribution and/or flow rate and/or engagement of the
compressor and/or recirculation settings are changed.
In this way, the functions will switch from automatic to
manual control until the AUTO button is pressed again.
With one or more functions turned on manually, the
adjustment of the intake air temperature continues to
be managed automatically, except with the compressor
switched off: if this is the case, the temperature of the
air introduced into the passenger compartment cannot
be lower than that of the outside air.
CONTROLS

Turn the knob either clockwise or
anticlockwise to increase or lower the
requested temperature in the passenger
compartment.
The temperature set is shown on the display.
Turn the knob either fully to the right or fully to the left
to the extreme HI or LO position to turn the maximum
heating or maximum cooling functions on:
❒HI Function (maximum heating):
select by turning the temperature knob clockwise
beyond the maximum value (32 °C).

IMPORTANT Before switching the device on, check
that the fuel level is higher than the reserve level.
Otherwise the device could lock and require the
assistance of a Fiat Dealership.
❒Always turn off the heater when refuelling and near
service stations to avoid the risk of explosion or fire
hazards.
❒Do not park the vehicle on inflammable material
such as paper, grass or dry leaves: fire hazard!
❒The temperature near the heater should not exceed
120 °C (e.g. during stove painting in a body shop).
The electronic control unit components may be
damaged at higher temperatures.
❒Whilst the heater is operating with the engine
switched off, it absorbs energy from the battery; the
engine should therefore be left running for a while to
make sure that the battery is properly recharged.
❒To check the coolant level, follow the instructions in
the “Vehicle maintenance” chapter in the “Engine
coolant system fluid” paragraph. The water in the
heating circuit must contain a minimum percentage
of 10% antifreeze.
❒For maintenance and repairs, only contact Fiat
Dealerships and only use genuine spare parts.
F0N0233mfig. 67
MAINTENANCE
Have the additional heater checked regularly at a Fiat
Dealership (and always at the start of every winter).
This will guarantee safe and economic operation of the
heater as well as a long duration.
ADDITIONAL REAR HEATING
(Panorama and Combi)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Panorama and Combi versions have a main heating
system plus an additional one (on request) with the
controls in the roof lining above the second row of
seats, fig. 67.

Operation must be enabled using the button F-fig. 68 in
the control panel.
❒Turn the knob D to the maximum cold position (ring
nut at blue sector) and air at ambient temperature
will come out of the rear footwell vents (located
under the seats in the 2
nd–3rdrow for Panorama
versions and the grille on the left wheel arch side for
Combi versions);
❒Turn the knob D to the maximum heating position
(ring nut at red sector) and warm air will emerge
(with the engine warmed up), from the rear footwell
outlets (located under the seats in the 2
nd–3rdrow
for Panorama versions and the grille on the left wheel
arch side for Combi versions).

ADDITIONAL REAR CLIMATE CONTROL
(Panorama and Combi)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Panorama and Combi versions are equipped with
a main heating/air conditioning system plus an additional
system (available on request) with controls in the roof
lining above the second row of seats, fig. 67.
Button F-fig. 68 in the control panel must be enabled for
operation; the air conditioning only works if the main air
conditioner is on.
❒When the knob D is placed in the fully cold position
(ring nut in blue sector) cold air comes out of the
vents in the ceiling.
❒Turn the knob D to the maximum heating position
(ring nut at red sector) and warm air will emerge
(with the engine warmed up), from the rear footwell
outlets (located under the seats in the 2
nd–3rdrow
for Panorama versions and the grille on the left
wheel arch side for Combi versions).
❒When the knob D is in an intermediate position, air
will be distributed between the vents in the roof and
the rear footwell outlets to alter the temperature.
IMPORTANT If the compressor on the main air
conditioner control is turned on (operation of button
E), even if the additional air conditioner fan is in position
0, the 1
stspeed will automatically be activated to
prevent ice formation, with possible damage to the
component.
