2013 FIAT BRAVO climate control

Air flow distribution between front and
rear diffusers, centre/side dashboard
diffusers, rear diffuser and windscreen
and front side window demisting/
defrosting diffusers.
Air flow distribution to centre/side dashboard
diffusers (passenger's body).
Air flow distribution between footwell
diffusers and windscreen and front side
window defrosting/demisting diffusers. This
distribution setting allows the passenger
compartment to be warmed effectively and
prevents the windows from misting.Air flow distribution between footwell
diffusers (hotter air) and centre/side
dashboard diffusers and rear diffuser (cooler
air).Air flow distribution between centre/side
dashboard diffusers, rear diffuser and
windscreen and front side window
demisting/defrosting diffusers. This
distribution setting ventilates the passenger
compartment well and prevents the
windows from misting up.
IMPORTANT For the climate control system to
function, at least one of the buttons
/
/
must
be operated. The system does not allow the
deactivation of all the buttons
/
/
.IMPORTANT Push the OFF button to turn the
climate control system back on: in this way, all
operating conditions memorised before switching
off are restored.
To restore automatic control of the air distribution
after a manual selection, press the AUTO button.
ADDITIONAL HEATER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This device warms up the passenger compartment
more quickly when it is very cold and the engine
coolant temperature is low.
In these conditions, the device comes on
automatically when the engine is started and the
fan is on.
The heater switches off automatically when the
required comfort conditions are achieved.
IMPORTANT The heater will not turn on if the
battery voltage is too low.
SWITCHING OFF THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
Press the OFF button.
The following information is shown on the display:
❒OFF;
❒outside temperature indication;
❒internal air recirculation on indication (LED on
button
lit).

Start&Stop system activation
A message and a symbol
will appear on the
display when the Start&Stop system is activated. In
this condition, the LED A fig. 105 on the
button
is off.
Start&Stop system deactivation
Versions with reconfigurable multifunction display:
the
symbol appears on the display when the
Start&Stop system is deactivated. The LED A
fig. 105 is on when the system is deactivated.
ENGINE STOPPING FAILURE
CONDITIONS
When the system is active, due to comfort,
emission control and safety reasons, the engine
does not stop in some conditions, among which:
❒engine still cold;
❒especially cold outside temperature;
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒heated rear window activated;
❒driver's door not shut;
❒driver's seat belt not fastened;
❒reverse gear engaged (for example, for parking
manoeuvres);❒for versions equipped with dual zone automatic
climate control system (for versions/markets,
where provided), if an adequate level of thermal
comfort has not been reached or with MAX-DEF
function activation;
❒during the first period of use, to initialise the
system.
In these cases, the display shows a message and -
for versions/markets, where provided - the symbol
flashes on the display.
WARNING
If the climate comfort is to be
favoured, the Star t&Stop system can be
disabled, for a continuous operation of the
climate control system.
ENGINE RESTARTING CONDITIONS
For reasons of comfort, to limit harmful emissions
and for safety purposes, the engine can restart
automatically without any action by the driver if
certain conditions occur, including:
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒windscreen wipers working at maximum speed;
❒reduced braking system vacuum (e.g. if the brake
pedal is pressed repeatedly);
❒car moving (e.g. when driving on roads with a
gradient);

❒engine stopping by Start&Stop system for over 3
minutes;
❒for versions equipped with automatic climate
control (for versions/markets where provided),
to enable suitable thermal comfort or with
MAX-DEF activation.
If a gear in engaged during stopping with
Start&Stop, the automatic restarting of the engine
is only permitted by fully depressing the clutch
pedal.
The driver is informed by a message on the display
and - for versions/markets, where provided - by
the flashing of the
symbol.
If the clutch is not pressed, about 3 minutes after
the engine stops, the engine can be restarted
only using the ignition key.
In cases of undesired engine stops, due for example
to the clutch pedal being released abruptly with a
gear engaged, if the Start&Stop system is activated,
the engine can be restarted by fully depressing
the clutch pedal.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
When the engine is stopped by the Start&Stop
system, if the driver releases his/her seat belt and
opens the driver's or passenger's door, the engine
can be restarted only using the ignition key.
The driver is informed by a buzzer and by the
flashing of the symbol
on the display; on some
versions, a message is displayed as well."ENERGY SAVING" FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If, after automatic engine restarting, the driver does
not carry out any action on the car for an
extended period (about 3 minutes), the Start&Stop
system stops the engine definitively, to prevent
fuel consumption. In these cases, the engine can
only be restarted using the ignition key.
NoteIn any case, it is possible to keep the engine
running by deactivating the Start&Stop system.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
In the event of malfunction, the Start&Stop system
is deactivated. The driver is informed of the fault
by the flashing symbol
(versions with
multifunction display) or symbol
(versions with
reconfigurable multifunction display). For
versions/markets, where provided, a warning
message is also displayed. In this case, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
CAR INACTIVITY
In the event of car inactivity, special attention must
be paid to the disconnection of the battery power
supply.
Proceed as follows: detach the connector A (by
pressing button B) from sensor C for monitoring
the status of the battery installed on the negative

levels. When transporting particularly large objects,
use a trailer if possible.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount of time
needed. The heated rear window, additional
headlights, windscreen wipers and heater fan need a
considerable amount of energy, therefore
increasing fuel consumption (by up to 25% in the
urban cycle).
Climate control system
Air conditioning leads to higher fuel consumption
(on average up to +20%). If the temperature
outside permits, try and use the air vents.
Devices for aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified spoilers may adversely
affect air drag and fuel consumption.
DRIVING STYLE
The main driving styles that affect fuel consumption
are listed below.
Starting
Do not warm the engine with the car at a standstill
or at idle or high speed: under these conditions
the engine warms up much more slowly, increasing
electrical consumption and emissions. It istherefore advisable to move off immediately, slowly,
avoiding high speeds: in this way the engine will
warm faster.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid accelerating when starting at traffic lights or
before switching off the engine. This and also
double declutching is absolutely pointless on
modern cars and also increases consumption and
pollution.
Gear selection
As soon as the conditions of the traffic and road
allow, use a higher gear. Using a low gear for faster
acceleration will increase consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high gear
increases consumption, emissions an engine wear.
Max. speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases as speed
increases. Avoiding unnecessary braking and
acceleration, which cost in terms of both fuel and
emissions.
Acceleration
Accelerating violently severely affects consumption
and emissions: acceleration should be gradual and
should not exceed the maximum torque.
