IMPORTANT Do not apply stickers on the inside of
the rear window over the heating filaments to
avoid damage.
IMPORTANT Press
to introduce air from the
outside (in this case the LED on the button should
be off ).
ACTIVATION OF INTERNAL AIR
RECIRCULATION AND ENABLEMENT OF
AQS FUNCTION (Air Quality System)
Press button
. Internal air recirculation is
carried out according to three possible operating
modes:
❒automatic control, signalled by the AQS sign on
the display and the LED on button
being
off;
❒forced deactivation (internal air recirculation
always off with introduction of outside air),
indicated by the LED on button
being off;
❒forced activation (internal air recirculation always
on), signalled by the LED on button
being lit.
When OFF button is pressed, the climate control
system automatically activates internal air
recirculation (the LED on button T should be on).
It is still possible to activate outside air recirculation
(LED on the button off ) and vice versa, by pressing
button T.
With the OFF button pressed (LED on the button
is lit up), it is not possible to enable the AQS
(Air Quality System) function.IMPORTANT Internal air recirculation makes it
possible to reach the required heating or cooling
conditions more quickly depending on the mode
selected. It is not advisable to switch the internal
air recirculation on when it is rainy/cold to prevent
the windows from misting, especially if the climate
control system has not been activated. It is
advisable to switch the internal air recirculation on
whilst queuing or in tunnels to prevent the
introduction of polluted air. Do not use the
function for a long time, particularly if there are
several passengers on board, to prevent the
windows from misting.
AQS (Air Quality System) function
activation
The AQS function (AQS sign on the display)
automatically activates internal air recirculation
when the outside air is polluted (e.g. in traffic
queues and tunnels).
IMPORTANT With the AQS function active, after
approx. 15 consecutive minutes of the internal
air recirculation system functioning, the climate
control system enables the intake of outside air for
approximately 1 minute to freshen the air in the
passenger compartment. This takes place regardless
of the pollution level of the outside air.

ELECTRIC WINDOWSThey are fitted with a security system that can
detect the presence of an obstacle whilst the
window is closing; when this happens, the system
kicks in and the movement of the glass is
immediately reversed.
IMPORTANT In the event that the anti-crushing
function is activated 5 times in only 1 minute, the
system will automatically enter the “recovery”
mode (self-protection). This condition is apparent
from the window closing in stages.
If this occurs, restore the system as follows:
❒open the windows;
or
❒turn the ignition key to the STOP position and
then to MAR-ON.
If no malfunction is present, the window returns to
its normal operation automatically.
IMPORTANT With the ignition key at STOP or
removed, the electric windows remain activated for
about two minutes and are deactivated as soon as
a door is opened.
WARNING
The system conforms to the 2000/4/EC
standard concerning the safety of
passengers leaning out of the passenger
compartment .
IMPORTANT On some versions, when the
button on the key with remote control is pressed
for longer than 2 seconds the windows will open,
whilst if the
button is pressed for longer than
2 seconds the windows will close.

EOBD SYSTEMThe EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnostic) is a diagnosis system installed on the
ECUs, which detects and reports possible
malfunctions in the electronic systems that could
worsen emissions.
The goal of the system is to:
❒monitor the system efficiency;
❒indicate an increase in emissions due to vehicle
malfunction;
❒indicate the need to replace components which
have deteriorated.It also alerts the driver, by turning on the warning
light
on the instrument panel (together with
relevant message on the display), when these
components are damaged; it can also report any
system malfunctions (see "Warning lights and
messages" chapter).
Note The car also has a connector that can be
interfaced with appropriate tools, which makes it
possible to read the error codes stored in the
electronic control units together with a series of
specific parameters for engine operation and
diagnosis. This check can also be carried out by the
traffic police.
IMPORTANT After an operation at the Fiat
Dealership, aimed at solving malfunctions linked to
the EOBD system, some bench tests should be
made, along with road tests if necessary, for a
complete check of the system. The latter may also
require the car to cover a long distance.

impact, rear-seat passengers who are not wearing
their seat belts not only expose themselves to
significant risk for injury, but also represent a
danger to passengers occupying the front seats.
IMPORTANT When putting the rear seat back in
its normal position, make sure that the seat belts
are positioned so that they are ready to use.
WARNING
Make sure that the backrest is
correctly secured on both sides (red
bands B fig. 119 not visible) to prevent it from
moving forward in the event of sharp braking,
causing injuries to passengers.
