When outside temperature is cold, recir-
culation is forced to off (outside air inlet)
to prevent window misting up.
In automatic operation inside air recircu-
lation will be controlled automatically by
the system according to outside environ-
mental conditions.Climate control compressor on/off
button A
Pressing button A/Cwill activate the com-
pressor and the display may show the
same wording A/Cto confirm activation.
With compressor on, pressing button
A/Cagain will deactivate the climate con-
trol compressor and therefore the word-
ing will disappear from the display.
When turning the compressor off, the sys-
tem will deactivate air recirculation to pre-
vent window misting up. If the system is
no longer able to keep the required tem-
perature, temperature value will flash and
the wording AUTOwill disappear from
the display.IMPORTANT With the climate control
compressor off, it is not possible to admit
air to the passenger compartment with a
temperature below the outside tempera-
ture; moreover, under certain environ-
mental conditions, windows could mist up
fastly since air is not dehumidified.
The switching off of the climate control
compressor remains in storage even when
the engine has been stopped. To restore
automatic control for switching on the cli-
mate control compressor, press again but-
ton A/Cor press button AUTO.
With climate control compressor off, the
fan speed can be set to zero manually.
With compressor on and engine running,
the fan speed cannot be lower that one
bar on the display.
It is inadvisable to use air re-
circulation on rainy/cold
days as it would considerably increase
the possibility of windows misting up
inside.

FRONT AIRBAGS
The front driver and passenger airbags (for versions/markets where provided)protect the front seat occupants in theevent of head-on impacts of medium-highseverity, by placing the bag between theoccupant and the steering wheel or dash-board. Therefore non-deployment inother types of impacts (side impacts, rearshunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not indicatea system malfunction.
Front driver and passenger airbags (for ver-sions/markets where provided) are not areplacement for, but are complementaryto, the seat belts, which you are recom-mended to always wear, as specified by lawin Europe and most non-European coun-tries.
An electronic control unit will inflate the bag, when necessary, in the event of afrontal impact. The bag will inflate instan-taneously placing itself between the frontoccupant’s body and the structures whichcould cause injury. It will deflate immedi-ately afterwards. The volume of frontairbags at max. inflation fills most of thespace between the steering wheel and thedriver and between the dashboard and thepassenger.
AIRBAG
The car is equipped with front airbags fordriver and passenger (for versions/markets,where provided), seat-mounted side airbagsfor driver’s and passenger pelvis-chest-shoulder protection (for versions/ markets,where provided), and window airbags forprotecting the heads of front and rear out-er occupants (for versions/markets whereprovided).
The location of the airbags on the car is marked by the writing “AIRBAG” in themiddle of the steering wheel, on the dash-board, on the side trim or on a label placednext to the airbag deployment area.
In the event of impact, those not wearing a seat belt are projected forwards and maycome into contact with the bag which is stillinflating. The protection offered by the bagis compromised in these circumstances.
Front airbags may not activate in the fol- lowing situations:
❒frontal impacts against highly deformableobjects not involving the front surface ofthe vehicle (e.g. wing collision againstguard rail, heaps of gravel, etc.);
❒underride impacts with other vehicles
Failure to activate in the conditions de- scribed above is due to the fact that theymay not provide any additional protection
compared with seat belts, so their activa-tion would be inappropriate. In these cas-es, non-deployment of the airbag does notnecessarily indicate a system malfunction.

CORRECT USE
OF THE VEHICLE
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from
the roof as soon as they are no longer
used. These accessories lower air pene-
tration and adversely affect consumption
levels. When needing to carry particular-
ly voluminous objects, preferably use a
trailer.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount
of time needed. Rear heated window, ad-
ditional headlights, windscreen wipers and
heater fan need a considerable amount of
energy, therefore increasing the require-
ment of current increases fuel consump-
tion (up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The air conditioner is an additional load
which greatly affects the engine leading to
higher consumption (on average up to
+20%). When the temperature outside
the vehicle permits it, use the air vents
where possible.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic
items may adversely affect air drag and
consumption levels.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine when the vehi-
cle is stationary or at high or low speed:
in this way the engine will warm up grad-
ually increasing consumption and emis-
sions. You should drive off slowly straight
away avoiding high revs so that the engine
will warm up more quickly.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid accelerating when waiting at traffic
lights or before switching off the engine.
This and also double declutching is ab-
solutely pointless on modern vehicles and
also increase consumption and pollution.
Gear selections
As soon as the conditions of the traffic and
road allow, use a higher gear. Using a low
gear to obtain brilliant performance in-
creases consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high
gear increases consumption, emissions an
engine wear.CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Some suggestions which may help you to
keep the running costs of the vehicle
down and lower the amount of toxic emis-
sions released into the atmosphere are
given below.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Vehicle maintenance
Carry out the checks and adjustments/reg-
ulations specified in the “Service Sched-
ule”.
Tyres
Check tyre inflation pressure regularly.
Tyres should be checked at least once
every four weeks: if the pressure is too
low, fuel consumption increases as the re-
sistance to the rolling movement of the
tyre is greater.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much load.
The weight of the vehicle (specially in ur-
ban traffic) and its trim greatly effects con-
sumption and stability.

AIR BAG FAILURE
(red)
Turning the ignition key to M
the warning light turns on, but it should
go off after few seconds.
The warning light stays on glowing
steadily if there is a failure in the air bag
system.
¬If when turning the ignition
key to M, the warning light
¬does not turn on or stays on when
travelling there could be a failure in
safety systems; in this event air bags
or pretensioners could not trigger in
case of impact or, in a minor number
of cases, they could trigger acciden-
tally. Contact Fiat Dealership imme-
diately to have the system checked.
WARNING
The failure of the warning
light ¬(warning light off) is
also indicated by the flashing for
more than the normal 4 seconds of
the passenger’s front air bag deacti-
vated warning light
“.
WARNING
ENGINE COOLANT
HIGH TEMPERATURE
(red)
Turning the ignition key to Mthe warn-
ing light turns on, but it should go off
after few seconds.
The warning light turns on when the
engine is overheated.
The flashing of the warning lights indi-
cates a level of engine coolant which is
too low.
If the warning light comes on, proceed as
follows:
❒normal driving conditions: stop
the vehicle, switch off the engine and
check whether the water level in the
reservoir is not below the MIN
mark. Otherwise wait for few sec-
onds to allow the engine cooling,
then open slowly and carefully the
cap, top up coolant and check
whether its level is falling between
MINand MAXmarks in the reser-
voir. Check visually for any leak. If,
when restarting, the warning light
comes on again, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
