changed or deleted by following the above instructions.
Switching the heating system off
Deactivation of the system, depending on the type of
activation (automatic or manual), may be:
❒automatic,at the end of the preset activation time
(60 minutes with lighting of the red display);
❒manualpressing the “immediate heating” button on
the timer again (flame button 1).
In both cases the heating warning light and the display
lighting go out and the passenger compartment heater
unit fan and the combustion stop.
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.

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. 61
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

Operation must be enabled using the button F-fig. 62 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).
F0N0500mfig. 62
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. 61.
Button F-fig. 62 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.

PRETENSIONERS
To increase the efficiency of the seat belts, the vehicle is
fitted with pretensioners. These devices, in the event of
a violent frontal impact, rewind the seat belts a few
centimetres. In this way they ensure that the seat belt
adheres perfectly to the wearer before the restraining
action begins.
The buckle moves downwards to indicate that the
device has intervened; the seat belt cannot be drawn
back up even when guiding it manually.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest degree of
protection from the action of the pretensioning device,
wear the seat belt keeping it tight to the chest and
pelvis.
A slight amount of smoke may be detected during
operation of the pretensioners. This smoke is not
harmful and does not indicate a fire.
The pretensioner does not require any maintenance or
lubrication.
Anything that modifies its original conditions invalidates
its efficiency.
If unusual natural events (floods, sea storms, etc.) have
caused the device to be contaminated by water and
mud, it must be replaced.The pretensioner can only be used once.
After it is triggered, have it replaced at
a Fiat Dealership. The device expiry date is
shown on the plate in the glove compartment:
contact the FIAT Dealership when it is time to
replace the device.
WARNING
Operations which lead to knocks,
vibrations or localised heating (over
100 °C for a maximum of 6 hours) in the
area around the pretensioners may cause
damage or trigger them. These devices are not
affected by vibrations caused by irregularities of
the road surface or low obstacles such as kerbs,
etc. Contact a Fiat Dealership for any assistance.
LOAD LIMITERS
To increase passenger safety, the front seat belt reels
contain a load limiter which allows controlled sag in
such a way as to dose the force acting on the chest and
shoulders during the belt restraining action in the event
of frontal impact.

If, when the ignition key is at MAR-ON the warning light
Yremains on together with warning light m, turn
the key to STOP and then back to MAR-ON; if the
warning lights remain on, try with the other keys
provided with the car.
IMPORTANT If the instrument panel warning light
Ystays on constantly, contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately.
IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition key on MAR-ON
when the engine is off.
The warning light mwill flash for
60 seconds after starting or during
prolonged cranking to indicate a fault with
the glow plug preheating system. Use the vehicle
normally if the engine starts, but contact Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
Remember that the brake servo and
power steering are not operational until
the engine has been started, therefore
more effort than usual is required on the brake
pedal and steering wheel.
Avoid jump starting the engine by
pushing, towing or driving downhill.
This could cause a flow of fuel into the
catalytic converter and damage it beyond repair.
HOW TO WARM UP THE ENGINE
AFTER IT HAS JUST STARTED
Proceed as follows:
❒drive off slowly, letting the engine turn at medium
speed. Do not accelerate abruptly;
❒do not demand maximum performance for the first
few kilometres. Wait until the engine coolant gauge
starts moving.STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition key to STOP while the engine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a taxing drive, you should allow the
engine to “catch its breath” before turning it off by
letting it idle to allow the temperature in the engine
compartment to fall.
A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely
no practical purpose, it wastes fuel and is
damaging especially to turbocharged engines.
In some cases, when the engine switches off,
the fan could start for max. 120 seconds.

FUEL RESERVE (amber)
Turning the key to the MAR-ON position
illuminates the warning light, but it should switch
off after a few seconds.
The warning light comes on when there are about
10-12 litres of fuel (for versions with tank capacity
90-120 l) or 10 l (for versions with tank capacity 60 l)
remaining in the tank.
IMPORTANT The warning light will flash to indicate
a system failure. If this is the case, contact a Fiat
Dealership to have the system checked.
