the overall time elapsed since the start of a new mission.TRIP COMPUTER
General information
The “Trip computer” is used to display information on
vehicle operation when the key is turned to
MAR-ON.
This function allows you to define two separate trips,
called “Trip A” and “Trip B”, for monitoring the
vehicle’s “complete mission” (journey) in a reciprocally
independent manner. Both functions can be reset (reset
means start of a new journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
– Outside temperature
– Range
– Trip distance
– Average consumption
– Current consumption
– Average speed
– Trip time (driving time).
“Trip B”, available on multifunction display only, is used
to display the figures relating to:
– Trip distance B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Trip time B (driving time).
NOTE “Trip B” function can be excluded (see paragraph
“Trip B on”). “Range” and “Instant consumption”
parameters cannot be reset.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY HEATER
INDEPENDENT
(for markets/versions, where provided)
The vehicle is available, on request, with two different
independent heaters: one fully automatic, the other
which can be programmed.
AUTOMATIC VERSION
The additional heater is turned on in automatic mode
when the engine is started and the required outside
temperature and coolant conditions are present.
Deactivation is always automatic.
IMPORTANT During periods with low outdoor
temperatures when the device cuts in, check that the
fuel level is always higher than the reserve level.
Otherwise the device could lock and require the
assistance of a Fiat Dealership.
The heater burns fuel in the same way
as the engine, though to a lesser extent.
To prevent poisoning and asphyxiation, the
supplementary heater must never be turned on,
even for short periods, in closed environments
such as a garage or workshops without
extraction fans for the exhaust gases.
WARNING
PROGRAMMABLE VERSION
The additional heater operates completely
independently of engine operation and allows the
following:
❒heating the vehicle passenger compartment with the
engine off;
❒defrosting the windows;
❒heating the engine coolant and consequently the
engine itself prior to starting.
The system consists of:
❒a diesel burner to heat the water with an exhaust
silencer for the combustion gases;
❒a metering pump connected to the vehicle tank
pipes, to supply the burner;
❒a heat exchanger connected to the engine cooling
system pipes;
❒a control unit connected to the passenger
compartment heating/ventilation system to allow
automatic operation;
❒an electronic control unit for control and operation
of the burner in the heater;
❒a digital timer A-fig. 55 for turning the heater on
manually or programming the time it comes on.

F0N0155mfig. 60
The fluid circulation pump continues to work for
around two minutes to dissipate as much heat as
possible from the heater; the heater can be turned back
on during this stage.
The heater burns fuel in the same way
as the engine, though to a lesser extent.
To prevent poisoning and asphyxiation, the
supplementary heater must never be turned on,
even for short periods, in closed environments
such as a garage or workshops without
extraction fans for the exhaust gases.
WARNING
IMPORTANT When parked the heater switches off
when the battery voltage is low to allow the engine to
be started up.

With the ignition key in the OFF position or extracted,
pull the lever towards the steering wheel and operate
the lever within 2 minutes of switching the engine off.
Each time the lever is operated the lights will stay on
another 30 seconds, up to a maximum of 210 seconds;
when this time has elapsed, the lights will go out
automatically.
The warning light 3on the instrument panel will light
up and the corresponding message will appear in the
display (see “Warning lights and messages”) for as long
as the function is activated. The warning light comes on
when the lever is operated and stays on until the
function is automatically deactivated. Each movement of
the lever only increases the amount of time the lights
stay on.
Deactivation
Keep the lever pulled towards the steering wheel for
more than 2 seconds.
AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHT SENSOR
(dusk sensor)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It detects variations in brightness outside the vehicle
depending on the light sensitivity setting: the greater the
sensitivity, the less outside light needed to activate the
exterior lights being turned on. The sensitivity of the
dusk sensor is adjusted by means of the “Setup menu”
for the display. Warning light For Dstart flashing in the instrument
panel.
Direction indicators are switched off automatically when
the steering wheel of the vehicle is straightened.

When travelling downhill with the device engaged, the
vehicle speed may slightly exceed the memorised one.
When the device is activated the warning light
Ücomes
on together with the relevant message on the
instrument panel.
STORING VEHICLE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❒turn ring nut A toONand press the accelerator
pedal so that the vehicle reaches the desired speed;
❒move the lever upwards (+) for at least one second,
then release it. The car speed is memorised and it is
therefore possible to release the accelerator pedal.
If necessary (when overtaking for instance) acceleration
is possible by simply pressing the accelerator pedal:
releasing the accelerator pedal, the car will return to the
speed memorised previously.
RESTORING THE MEMORISED SPEED
If the device has been switched off, for example by
depressing the brake or clutch pedal, the memorised
speed can be restored as follows:
❒accelerate gradually until reaching a speed
approaching the memorised speed;
❒engage the gear selected at the time of speed
memorising;
❒press the button B-fig. 72.

CRUISE CONTROL
(for versions/markets where provided)
This is an electronic driving aid that allows you to drive
at a speed of above 30 km/h on long and straight dry
roads with few driving changes (e.g. motorways) at
a preset speed without having to press the accelerator
pedal. It is therefore not recommended to use this
device on country roads with traffic.
Do not use it in town.
DEVICE ACTIVATION fig. 72

ABS SYSTEM
If you have never driven a vehicle with ABS before, it is
advisable to perform a few tests on slippery ground,
always in safe conditions and respecting the highway
code of the country where you are driving. Read the
following information carefully.
This is an integral part of the braking system, which
prevents one or more wheels from locking or slipping
regardless of the road surface conditions and braking
intensity, ensuring control of the vehicle even during
emergency braking.
The system is completed by EBD (Electronic Braking
Force Distribution), which distributes the braking action
between the front and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT For the maximum efficiency of the
braking system, a bedding in period of about 500 km is
needed (with the vehicle new or after having replaced
the brake pads/discs): during this period it is better to
avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged braking. Headlight alignment adjustment fig. 128
Press buttons Òand in the control panel to adjust.
The display located on the instrument panel provides
a visual indication of the adjusted position.
IMPORTANT Check the beam alignment every time the
weight of the load transported changes.
FRONT FOG LIGHTS ALIGNMENT
(for versions/markets where provided)
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the headlights
properly adjusted.
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN
ABROAD
The dipped headlights are adjusted to work in the
country where the vehicle was originally purchased.
In countries where vehicles are driven on the other side
of the road, the beams are aligned by applying a specially
designed adhesive film in order not to dazzle the
vehicles travelling in the opposite direction.
The ABS system gets the most out of the
available grip but it cannot improve it.
Therefore, you should take great care when
driving on slippery surfaces: don’t take
unnecessary risks.

MSR system
(engine braking torque control)
This is an integral part of the ASR system that, in the
event of a sudden gear down shift, cuts in and provides
torque to the engine thus preventing excessive drive
wheel drive which, especially in poor grip conditions,
can lead to a loss of stability. ASR SYSTEM (Antislip Regulator)
This is a traction control system that cuts in
automatically every time one or both drive wheels slip.
Depending on the slipping conditions, two different
control systems are activated:
❒if the slipping involves both drive wheels, the ASR
function intervenes by reducing the power
transmitted by the engine;
❒if the slipping only involves only one driving wheel,
the ASR system cuts in by automatically braking the
wheel that is slipping.
The action of the
ASRis particularly helpful in the
following circumstances:
❒slipping of the inner wheel when cornering due to
the effect of dynamic load changes or excessive
acceleration;
❒too much power transmitted to the wheels also in
relation to the conditions of the road surface;
❒acceleration on slippery, snowy or icy surfaces;
❒loss of grip on a wet surface (aquaplaning).
For the correct operation of the ESP and
ASR systems, the tyres must absolutely be
the same make and type on all wheels, in perfect
condition and, above all, of the type, make and
size specified.
