LOOKING AFTER THE SYSTEM
During winter, the climate control system
must be turned on at least once a month
for about 10 minutes. Before summer,
have the system checked at a Fiat Deal-
ership.
The system is filled with
R134a refrigerant which will
not pollute the environment
in the event of leakage. Un-
der no circumstances should R12 fluid
be used as it is incompatible with the
system components.IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the re-
quired “heating” or “cooling” conditions
faster.
Do not use the air recirculation function
on rainy/cold days as it would consider-
ably increase the possibility of the win-
dows misting inside. AIR RECIRCULATION fig. 46
Turn this function on by pressing button
Ω.
This function is particularly useful when
the outside air is heavily polluted (in a traf-
fic jam, tunnel etc.). However, it is better
not to use it for long periods, especially

AUTOMATIC TWO-ZONE
CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
DESCRIPTION
The vehicle is fitted with a two-zone cli-
mate control system which makes it pos-
sible to separately adjust the air temper-
atures and air distribution 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 passen-
ger vents;
❒air distribution at driver/front passen-
ger vents;
❒fan speed (continuous air flow variation);
❒compressor activation (to cool/ dehu-
midify air);
❒air recirculation.All the above functions can be changed
manually by selecting the required func-
tion/s and by changing the set parameters.
In this way the automatic control is de-
activated; the system will resume auto-
matic control only for safety reasons.
Manual selections prevail over automatic
ones and remain in storage until the user
decides to resume automatic control
(press button AUTO, except when the
system cuts in for particular safety condi-
tions. The control of functions not
changed manually remains automatic.
The amount of air admitted to the pas-
senger compartment does not depend on
the vehicle speed, since it is electronical-
ly controlled by the fan. The temperature
of the air admitted to the passenger com-
partment is always controlled automati-
cally according to the temperatures set on
the driver’s and front passenger’s display
(except when the system is off or under
certain conditions when the compressor
is off).The following parameters and functions
can be set or changed manually:
❒ air temperatures on driver/front pas-
senger side;
❒ fan speed (continuous variation);
❒air distribution on seven levels (dri-
ver/front passenger side);
❒ climate control compressor on/off en-
able;
❒monozone/two-zone distribution prior-
ity;
❒ fast demisting/defrosting;
❒ air recirculation;
❒ rear heated window;
❒system deactivation.

CONTROL SYSTEM
The system can be started in different
ways, but it is advisable to press one of the
AUTObuttons and then to turn the
knobs to set the temperatures required
on the display.
It is possible to personalise required tem-
peratures (driver and passenger) with a
maximum difference of 7 °C.
This way the system will start working
completely automatically to reach the
comfort temperatures as quickly as pos-
sible. The system will set air temperature,
quantity and distribution and it will con-
trol the air recirculation function and the
activation of conditioner compressor.

AUTO button
(automatic operation on/off)
Pressing button AUTOthe system auto-
matically adjusts the amount and distribu-
tion of the air admitted to the passenger
compartment, cancelling all the previous
manual adjustments. Manual operation of
at least one automatic function (air recir-
culation, air distribution, fan speed or cli-
mate control compressor off).
IMPORTANT Should the system (after
manual settings) be no longer able to guar-
antee the required temperature set in the
passenger compartment, the set tempera-
ture value will start flashing to indicate this
condition, after one minute the AUTO
message will turn off.To restore system automatic control at
any time, after one or more manual ad-
justments, press button AUTO.
Pressing again button AUTOautomati-
cally aligns the temperature on the pas-
senger side with that on the driver side,
it is therefore possible to set the same
temperature and air distribution between
the two zones by turning the knob on dri-
ver side. This function is provided to sim-
plify temperature adjustment of the whole
passenger compartment when only the
driver is onboard. Separate operation of
set temperature and air distribution is re-
stored by pressing the button AUTO
again.Air recirculation on/off button E
Air recirculation works according to the
following operating logics:
❒automatic switching on, by pressing one
of the AUTObuttons and indicated by
the turning on of the AUTOicon on the
display.
❒manual switching on, by pressing but-
ton E, indicated by symbol
Ωon the
display;
❒manual switching off, by pressing but-
ton E, indicated by the turning off of
symbol
Ωon the display.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the re-
quired heating or cooling conditions faster.
It is however inadvisable to use it on
rainy/cold days as it would considerably
increase the possibility of the windows
misting inside, especially if the climate con-
trol system is off.
