LOfunction (maximum cooling):
select by turning the temperature knob
anticlockwise under the minimum value
(16 °C).
This function may be used to cool down
the passenger compartment exploiting the
system potential to the maximum. In this
condition,
the system stop controlling
temperature automatically and sets air
mixing to maximum cooling. The air speed
and distribution are fixed. All manual set-
tings will be allowed when this function
is on.
To switch the function off, simply turn the
temperature knob anticlockwise and set
the required temperature.Air distribution buttons (B)
Press these buttons to manually set one
of the seven air distribution settings:
Air flow to the windscreen and front
side window vents to demist or de-
frost them.
Air flow at central and side dashboard
vents to ventilate the chest and
the
face during the hot season.
Air flow to the front and rear foot well
vents. Thanks to the natural tenden-
cy of hot air to spread upwards,
this
distr ibution pattern allows to warm
the passenger compartm ent up as
quickly as possible,
providing an im-
mediate feeling of warmth.
Air flow distributed between foot well
vents (hotter air) and central and side
dashboard vents (cooler air). This dis-
tribution is particularly useful in spring
and autumn on a sunny day.
Air flow distributed between foot well
vents and windscreen and front side
window defrostin g/demistin g vents.
This allows an adequate warming of
the passenger compartment and pre-
vents the windows from misting up.
Air flow distr ibuted between wind-
screen and front side window de-
froster/demister and central and side
dashboard vents.
This distribution al-
lows to maintain good levels of com-
fort and the passenger compartment
adequately cool (summer).
Air flow distributed between wind-
screen and front side window de-
froster/demister and central and side
dashboard vents. This distribution al-
lows adequate air diffusion and main-
tains a good level of comfort both in
summer and winter.
The set distribution is shown by the cor-
responding LEDs on the selected buttons.
To restore automatic air distribution con-
trol after a manual adjustment, press but-
ton AUTO.

FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 82
To carry out fuelling,
operate lever A-fig.
83/84 to release the flap A and unscrew
cap B; the cap is fitted with a special device
C which fastens it to the lid so it cannot
be mislaid.
In some versions, cap Bmay be provided
with a lock and key;
use the ignition key
to access the flap A-fig. 82, turn it anti-
clockwise and loosen the cap itself.
The airtight closing may determine a slight
increase of pressure in the tank. A suction
noise when you release the cap is there-
fore entirely normal.
PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
The devices for curtailing petrol engine
emissions are the following:
three-way catalytic converter;
lambda sensors;
fuel evaporation system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even
for a test, with one or more spark plugs
disconnected.
The devices for curtailing diesel fuel en-
gine emissions are the following:
oxidising catalytic converter;
exhaust gas recirculation system
(E.G.R.).
fig. 82F0M0203m
Do not approach naked
flames or lit sigarettes to the
fuel filler : fire risk. Keep your face
away from the fuel filler to prevent
breathing in harmful vapours.
WARNING
fig. 83
fig. 84F0R0210m
F0R0210m
When refuelling, position the cap on the
device inside the lid as shown in fig. 82.The catalytic converter de-
velops high temperature dur-
ing operation. Do not park on grass,
dry leaves, pine needles or other flam-
mable material: fire risk.

IMPORTANT The front air bags may be
deployed if the car is subject to heavy kno-
cks or accidents involving the underbody
area, such as for example violent shocks,
against steps, kerbs of low obstacles, fall-
ing of the car in big holes or sags in the
road.
IMPORTANT A small amount of dust will
be rele ase d when the airb ags are de-
ployed. The dust is not harmful and does
not indicate the beginning of a fire. Fur-
thermore, the surface of the deployed bag
and the interior of the car may be covered
in a dusty residue: this dust may irritate
the skin and the eyes. Wash with mild
soap and water in the event of exposure.
The expiration date of the explosive
charge and the clock wire are shown on a
specific label contained in the oddment
compartment. Go to a Fiat Dealership
to have the devices replaced when
the expiration date approaches.
IMPORTANT Should an accident occur in
which any of the safety devices is activat-
ed, take the car to a Fiat Dealership
to have the devices activated replaced
and to have the system checked.
All inspection, repair and replacement op-
erations concerning the air bags must on-
ly be carried out c/o Fiat Dealership.If you are having the car scrapped, have
the air bag system deactivated at a Fiat
Deal ers hi p firs t. If the car chang es
ownership, the new owner must be info-
rmed of the meth od of us e of ai r ba gs
and the above warnings and also be gi-
ven this “Owner’s Handbook”.
IMPORTANT Pretensioners, front airbags
are deployed according to different logics
on the basic of the type of collision. Non
depl oym ent of one of the de vi ces does
not therefore indicate a system fault.
Never rest head, arms and
elbows on the door, on the
windows area to prevent possible in-
juries during inflation phase.
WARNING
Never lean head, arms and
elbows out of window.
WARNING
GENERAL WARNINGS
If when turning the key to
MAR the warning light
does not turn on or if it stays on when
travelling (together with the message
on the multifunctional display, where
provided) there could be a failure in
safety systems; in this event air bags
or pretensioners could not trigger in
case of impact or, in a minor number
of cases, they could trigger acciden-
tally. Contact Fiat Dealership im-
mediately to have the system checked.
WARNING
Do not cover the backrest of
front and rear sea ts with
trims or covers that are not suitable
to be used with side bags.
WARNING
Never travel with objects on
your lap , in front of your
chest or with a pipe, pencil, etc. be-
tween your lips; injury may result in
the event of the air bag being trig -
gered.

WHEN NEEDING TO
CHANGE A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
When a bulb is not working, check that
the corresponding fuse is intact before
replacing it: refer to the “If a fuse
blows” paragraph in this chapter for
fuse location.
before changing a bulb check the con-
tacts for oxidation;
burnt bulbs must be replaced by others
of the same type and power;
always check the height of the headlight
beam after changing a bulb, for reasons
of safety.
IMPORTANT A
slight misting may appear
on the internal surface of the headlight:
this does not indicate a fault and is caused
by low temperature and the degree of hu-
midity in the air. Misting will rapidly dis-
appear when the headlights are switched
on.
The presence of drop inside the head-
lights indicates infiltration of water. Go to
a Fiat Dealership.
TYPES OF BULBS
Various types of bulbs are fitted
to your car:AAll glass bulb: clipped into place. Pull
to extract.
BBayonet bulbs:
to remove this type
of bulb from its holder, press the
bulb and turn it anticlockwise.
CCylindrical bulbs:
release from the
contacts to extract.
D-EHalogen bulbs: release the fastening
clip from the corresponding seat to
remove the lamp. Halogen lamps must be han-
dled
holding the metallic part
only. Touching the transparent
part of the
bulb with your fin-
gers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even
compromise du-
ration of the lamp itself. In the case of
accidental contact, rub the lamp with a
cloth and spirit and leave to dry.
Modifications or repairs to
the electrical system (elec-
tronic control units) that are not car-
ried out properly or do not take the
technical specifications of the system
into account can cause malfunctions
leading to the risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surised gas which, if broken,
may cause small fragments of glass to
be projected outwards.
