During fully automatic operation, the on-
ly manual settings required are the fol-
lowing:
❒Ωair recirculation, to keep it always
on or off;
❒-to speed up demisting/defrosting
of windscreen, side windows, rear win-
dow and door mirrors;
❒(to demist/defrost heated rear win-
dow and door mirrors;
❒πto select air distribution during ven-
tilation.
During full automatic system operation,
you can change at any time set tempera-
tures, air distribution and fan speed by us-
ing the relevant buttons or knobs: the sys-
tem will automatically change its settings
to adjust to the new requirements.Air temperature adjusting knobs
M - I
Turning the knobs clockwise or counter-
clockwise, respectively increases or de-
creases the temperature of the air required
respectively in the front left zone (knob M)
and in the right zone (knob I) f the passen-
ger compartment. Since the system controls
two zones of the passenger compartment,
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 dis-
play near the relevant knobs. Pressing but-
ton AUTOwill activate automatic opera-
tion in order to have two separate ventila-
tion temperatures between driver and pas-
senger’s side.
With automatic operation on, pressing again
button AUTOwill align the temperature
on the passenger’s side with that on the dri-
ver’s side.
Turn the knobs fully clockwise or counter-
clockwise to engage respectively HI(max-
imum heating) or LO(maximum cooling).
To deactivate these two functions, just
turn the temperature knob and set the re-
quired temperature.Front air distribution button D
Pressing this button it is possible to
choose manually one of the seven possi-
ble air distributions to the passenger com-
partment (right or left side):
æAir flow to the windscreen and front
side window vents to demist or de-
frost them.
øAir flow at central and side dash-
board vents to ventilate the chest and
the face during the hot season.
¿Air flow towards the front and rear
lower parts of the passenger com-
partment. Due to the natural ten-
dency of heat to spread upwards, this
type of distribution allows heating of
the passenger compartment in the
shortest time, also giving a prompt
feeling of warmth.

The sliding side doors are equipped with
a spring clip which stops it on the opening
bumper: in order to block them simply
push the door onto the bumper, in order
to unblock it firmly pull it forwards.
In any case ensure that the doors are cor-
rectly connected to the device which
maintains the complete opening of the
doors.
To unlock: fit the metal insert of the key
into the lock and turn it counterclockwise.
To lock: fit the metal insert of the key in-
to the lock and turn it clockwise.The sliding side door may be supplied with
windows (for versions/markets, where
provided).
Windows can be opened from the vehi-
cle. To open the windows press the two
pins A-fig. 91and make the glass slide
keeping the pins pressed until reaching the
required open position. After opening the
windows check they click into place.
During refuelling, do not open

Refuelling
To guarantee full tank filling, carry out two
refuelling operations after the first click of
the fuel delivery gun. Avoid further top-
ping up operations that could cause dam-
ages to the fuel system.
FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 116
To carry out fuelling, open lid A, fit the ig-
nition key into the cap lock and turn it
counterclockwise, then loosen cap B.
The sealing of the tank may cause light
pressurising in the tank. A little breathing
off, while slackening the cap, is absolutely
normal.
When refuelling, secure the cap to the de-
vice Cinside the lid.

AT THE FILLING
STATION
Operation at cold temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, the
diesel thickens due to the formation of
paraffins and could clog the diesel fuel fil-
ter.
In order to avoid these problems, differ-
ent types of diesel are distributed ac-
cording to the season: summer type, win-
ter type and arctic type (cold, mountain
areas). If refuelling with diesel fuel not suit-
able for the current temperature, mix
diesel fuel with TUTELA DIESEL ART ad-
ditive in the proportions stated on the can,
putting first the antifreeze in the tank and
then the diesel fuel.
Refuel with local diesel fuel if the vehicle
is used/parked in the mountains or in cold
areas for a long period.
In this event you are recommended to
keep an amount of fuel higher than 50% in
the tank.The vehicle must only be filled
with diesel fuel for motor ve-
hicles, in compliance with Eu-
ropean Standard EN590. The
use of other products or mixtures may
irreparably damage the engine with in-
validation of the warranty due to the
damage caused. In the event of acci-
dentally filling with another type of fu-
el, do not start the engine and empty
the tank. If the engine has been run
even for only a very short time, in ad-
dition to the tank, it is also necessary
to drain out the whole fuel circuit.
Keep naked flames or light-
ed cigarettes away from the
fuel filler hole as there is a danger of
fire. Do not bend too close to the hole
either so as not to breathe in harmful
vapours.
WARNING
During refuelling, do not open
the left sliding door due to the
fact that the open fuel door.

If the vehicle has been stolen
or in the case of attempt to
steal it, if it has been subjected to
vandalism or floods, have the airbag
system checked by a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
The airbags may also be de-
ployed when the vehicle is
not moving, if the key is in the igni-
tion and turned to MAR-ON or when
the engine is off, if the vehicle is hit
by another moving vehicle. For this
reason, children must NEVER occupy
the front seats in a rearward facing
seat even if the vehicle is not moving.
Deployment of the airbag following
an impact could cause fatal injuries
to the child. Always deactivate the
front passenger airbag if arranging a
child restraint system on one of the
front seats is necessary. On the oth-
er hand, if the key is turned to STOP,
none of the safety devices (airbags or
pretensioners) will be deployed in the
event of an impact. Non-deployment
of these devices does not indicate a
system malfunction.
WARNING
The airbag deployment
threshold is higher than that
of the pretensioners. For collisions in
the range between the two thresholds,
it is normal for only the pretensioners
to be activated.
WARNING
The airbag does not replace
the seat belts but increases
their efficiency. Because front airbags
are not deployed for low-speed im-
pacts, side collisions, rear-end shunts
or rollovers, in these cases occupants
are protected only by their seat belts,
which must therefore always be fas-
tened.
WARNINGThe expiry dates of the py-
rotechnic charge and the
clock spring are shown on a specific
plate contained in the glove box. Con-
tact a Fiat Dealership when these
dates approach.
WARNING
Do not travel carrying objects
in your lap, in front of your
chest or between your lips (pipe, pen-
cils, etc.). They could cause severe in-
jury if the airbag is deployed.

WHEN NEEDING TO
CHANGE A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒When a light is not working, check that
the corresponding fuse is intact before
changing a bulb. For the location of fus-
es, refer to the paragraph “If a fuse
blows” in this section;
❒ Before changing a bulb check the con-
tacts for oxidation;
❒ Burnt bulbs must be replaced by oth-
ers of the same type and power;
❒ Always check the height of the head-
light beam after changing a bulb.
IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface
may be lightly misted over: this is not a
fault but a natural fact due to low tem-
perature and level of air humidity. It will
disappear as soon the headlights are
turned on. The presence of drops inside
the headlights means water infiltration,
therefore contact Fiat Dealership.
TYPES OF BULBS
Various types of bulbs are fitted to your
vehicle:
AAll glass bulbs: these are pressed on.
Pull to remove.BBayonet type bulbs: to remove this
type of bulb from its holder, press
the bulb and turn it counter-clock-
wise.
CTubular bulbs: release them from
their contacts to remove.
DHalogen bulbs: to remove the bulb,
release the clip holding the bulb in
place. Halogen bulbs must be han-
dled touching only the metal-
lic part. If the transparent bulb
is touched with the fingers, its
lighting intensity is reduced and life of
the bulb may be compromised. If
touched accidentally, rub the bulb with
a cloth moistened with alcohol and al-
low to dry.
Modifications or repairs to
the electrical system (elec-
tronic control units) carried out in-
correctly and without bearing the fea-
tures of the system in mind can cause
malfunctions with the risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surised gas which, if broken,
may cause small fragments of glass to
be projected outwards.
