SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been attached
near or actually on some of the compo-
nents of your Fiat Idea. These labels bear
symbols that remind you of the precau-
tions to be taken as regards that particu-
lar component.
The plate summarising the symbols used
can be found under the bonnet fig. 10.
THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
To further protect you car from theft, it
has been fitted with an engine immobilis-
ing system. This system is automatically ac-
tivated when the ignition key is removed.
An electronic device, in fact, is fitted in
each ignition key grip. The device trans-
mits a radio-frequency signal when the en-
gine is started through a special aerial built
into the ignition switch. The modulate sig-
nal, which changes each time the engine is
started, is the “password”, by means of
which the control unit recognises the key
and enables to start the engine.

New mission
The new mission begins after:
– “manual” resetting by the user, by press-
ing the relevant button;
– “automatic” resetting, when the “Trip
distance” reaches 9999.9 km or when the
“Travel time” reaches 99.59 (99 hours and
59 minutes);
– disconnection/reconnection of the bat-
tery.
IMPORTANT The reset operations per-
formed after the “General Trip” message
appears are used to also reset the “Trip
B”, which, on its turn, is used to reset the
values of the corresponding function. Travel time
This value shows the time elapsed since
the start of a new mission.
IMPORTANT If information is not avail-
able, the message “----” will appear instead
of the Trip Computer values. Displaying
of the values will be resumed regularly
when normal operation is restored with-
out resetting the values displayed before
the failure nor starting a new mission.

Button TRIPlocated on the top of the
right steering column stalk is used (with
ignition key at MAR) to display and re-
set the previously described values to start
a new mission:
– short pressing to display the different
values;

new mission. Values displayed
Range
It indicates the distance left to travel based
on the fuel in the tank assuming that dri-
ving conditions will not change. The mes-
sage “----” will appear on the display in the
following cases:
– the range value is below 50 km (30
miles) or the fuel level is below 4 litres;
– car left parked with engine running for
long.
Trip distance
This value shows the distance covered
from the start of a new mission.
Average consumption
This value shows the average consump-
tion from the start of a new mission.
Instant consumption
This indicates the fuel consumption. The
value is constantly updated. The message
“----” will appear on the display if the car
is parked with the engine running.
Average speed
This value shows the car average speed as
a function of the overall time elapsed since
the start of the a mission.

AUTOMATIC
TWO-ZONE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
(where provided)
GENERAL
The car is fitted with a two-zone climate
control system which makes it possible to
separately adjust the air temperature on
the driver’s side and on the passenger’s
side. Temperature control is based on the
“equivalent temperature” logic, i.e.: the
system continuously works to keep con-
stant the comfort inside the passenger
compartment and to compensate any vari-
ation of the outside climate conditions, in-
cluding sunshine detected by a proper sen-
sor provided for the purpose.
The climate control system automatically
controls and adjusts the following para-
meters and functions:
❒air temperature at driver/front pas-
senger vents;
❒air distribution at driver/front passen-
ger vents;
❒fan speed (continuous air flow varia-
tion);
❒compressor switching on (to cool/de-
humidify air);
❒air recirculation.
All the above functions can be changed
manually at any time, i.e.: you can always
modify one or more function settings. In
this event, the system will no longer im-
plement the automatic control of the func-
tions changed manually (except for safety
reasons, e.g.: risk of window misting).
Manual selections prevail over automatic
ones and remain in storage until the user
decides to resume automatic control, ex-
cept when the system cuts in for particu-
lar safety conditions.
The control of functions not changed man-
ually remains automatic.
The amount of air admitted to the pas-
senger compartment does not depend on
the car speed, since it is electronically con-
trolled by the fan.
In any case, the temperature of the air ad-
mitted to the passenger compartment is
controlled automatically (except when the
system is off) according to the tempera-
tures set on the driver’s and front pas-
senger’s displays or under certain climat-
ic conditions if the compressor is off).The system enables to set or to change
the following parameters and functions
manually:❒air temperatures on driver/front pas-
senger side;
❒fan speed (continuous variation);
❒air distribution on five levels (driver/
front passenger side);
❒climate control compressor on/off en-
able;
❒monozone/two-zone distribution pri-
ority;
❒fast demisting/defrosting;
❒air recirculation;
❒rear heated window;
❒system off;

During fully automatic operation, the on-
ly manual settings required are the fol-
lowing:
❒MONO, to align the air temperature
and distribution set on the passenger’s
side (front or rear) with that on the
driver’s side;
❒…, air recirculation, to keep it al-
ways on or off;
❒-, to speed up demisting/defrosting
of windscreen, front side windows,
rear window and door mirrors;
❒(, to demist/defrost the rear heat-
ed window and the door mirrors.
During completely automatic system op-
eration, the temperatures, air distribution
and the fan speed set can be changed at
any time through the relevant buttons or
knobs: the system will automatically
change its settings to adjust to the new re-
quirements.
During full automatic operation (FULL
AUTO), any change in air distribution
and/or air flow and/or compressor turn-
ing on and/or air recirculation will obtain
FULLdisappearing. In this way functions
will be controlled manually until pressing
the AUTObutton again. The fan speed is
the same for all passenger compartment
areas.With one or more functions engaged man-
ually, the adjustment of the temperature
of the air admitted to the passenger com-
partment continues to be controlled au-
tomatically by the system, except with the
climate control compressor off. In fact, in
this condition, the air admitted to the pas-
senger compartment cannot have a low-
er temperature than the outside air.
CONTROLS
Air temperature
adjustment knobs
H-N
Turning the knobs clock-
wise or counterclock-
wise, highers or lowers
the temperature of the
air required respectively
in the left zone (knob N)
or right zone (knob H)
of the passenger com-
partment.
It is possible to personalise required tem-
peratures (driver and passenger) with a
maximum difference of 7 °C.
The temperatures set are shown on the
displays near the relevant knobs.Pressing button A(MONO) automati-
cally aligns the temperature on the front
passenger’s side with that on the driver’s
side. It is therefore possible to set the
same temperature between the two zones
simply turning the knob on the driver’s
side (N).
This function is provided to simplify tem-
perature adjustment of the whole pas-
senger compartment when only the dri-
ver is on board.
Separate operation of the set tempera-
tures is automatically restored by turning
knobs (H) or pressing button A
(MONO) again when the button led is on.
Turning the knobs clockwise or counter-
clockwise until they reach the extreme se-
lections HIor LO, the maximum heat-
ing or cooling functions are respectively
engaged:
❒HIfunction (highest heating power):
this is activated by turning the tempera-
ture knob clockwise above the max. val-
ue (32 °C). It can be activated indepen-
dently from the driver’s or passenger’s
side or both (also selecting the MONO
function).
This function can be engaged when re-
quiring to heat the passenger compart-
ment as quickly as possible, exploiting the
maximum potential of the system. This
function uses the maximum temperature
of the coolant fluid, while air distribution
and fan speed are controlled according to
the system settings.
