IMPORTANT It is advisable to switch the air
recirculation on whilst queuing or in tunnels, or
whilst driving on dusty roads, to prevent the
introduction of polluted air. However, it is better not
to use the function for long periods, particularly if
there are many people on board, to prevent the
windows from misting.

❒turn knob E to 4 (maximum fan speed).
IMPORTANT The climate control system is very
useful for speeding up demisting since it dehumidifies

❒once with LED on the button off.
IMPORTANT Do not apply stickers on the inside of
the rear window over the heating filaments to avoid
damage.
ADDITIONAL HEATER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This allows the passenger compartment to be heated
more quickly in cold weather conditions. The heater
switches on automatically according to the
environmental conditions and with engine started
when the temperature of the engine coolant is low.
The additional heater turns off automatically after
the required comfort conditions are achieved.
The heater only operates if the outside temperature
and engine coolant temperature are low. The heater
will not activate if the battery voltage is too low.SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
In winter, the climate control system must be turned
on at least once a month for about 10 minutes.
Have the system inspected at a Fiat Dealership
before the summer.

Buttons A - Manual air distribution selection
By pressing the buttons, one of the five possible
air flow distribution modes can be selected:
air flow to the windscreen and front side window
diffusers to demist or defrost them.air flow to central and side dashboard vents to
ventilate the chest and the face during the hot
season.towards the footwell diffusers. Due to the
natural tendency of heat to rise, this type of
distribution warms the passenger compartment
up as quickly as possible, providing an immediate
feeling of warmth.+
distribution between footwell diffusers
(warmest air) and dashboard vents (coolest
air).
+
distribution between footwell diffusers and
windscreen/front side window vents. This
type of distribution achieves effective
heating of the passenger compartment and
prevents the windows from misting up.
Button B
- MAX-DEF function activation
When thebutton is pressed the system activates
all the functions required for fast demisting/
defrosting:
❒compressor on (if the weather conditions are
suitable);
❒air recirculation off;
❒maximum air temperature setting (HI);❒fan speed determined according to the coolant
temperature;
❒air flow conveyed to thewindscreen and front side
windows;
Button C
- Climate control compressor
activation/deactivation
Pressing button C activates/deactivates climate
control:
❒LED on button on: compressor on;
❒LED on button off: compressor off.
When the compressor is off:
❒the system will deactivate air recirculation to
prevent the windows from misting up;
❒it is not possible to convey air to thepassenger
compartment with a temperature below the
outside temperature (the displayed temperature
value will flash when the system cannot guarantee
the requested comfort conditions);
❒the fan speed can be reset manually (with
compressor enabled, ventilation cannot go below a
bar shown on the display).
Button D
- Internal air recirculation
activation/deactivation
It is advisable to switch the internal air recirculation
on whilst queuing or in tunnels to prevent the
introduction of polluted air.
At low temperatures or if the compressor is off, the
recirculation is forced to off to prevent misting.

IMPORTANT It is inadvisable to use air recirculation
when the outside temperature is low, since the
windows could mist rapidly.
Button E
- Climate control on/off
Pressing thebutton switches the system on/off.
With the system off, the climate control system
conditions are as follows:
❒all LEDs are off;
❒set temperature display is off;
❒air recirculation is off;
❒compressor is off;
❒fan is off.
Button F- Heated rear window, folding
mirror/heated windscreen (for versions/
markets, where available) activation/

Pressing thebutton switches on the LED on the
button.
Buttons G/M
/
- Fan speed adjustment
Use buttons G
or M
to increase or decrease the
air flow.
Button H (AUTO) - AUTO function activation
(automatic climate control operation)
When the AUTO button is pressed and the required
temperature is set, the system adjusts thetemperature, quantity and distribution of air entering
the passenger compartment and controls
compressor operation.
Button I - Air temperature increase
When the button is pressed, the passenger
compartment air temperature increases.
Button L - Air temperature decrease
When the button is pressed, the passenger
compartment air temperature decreases.
DESCRIPTION
The automatically controlled parameters and
functions are:
❒air temperature at the vents;
❒air distribution at the vents;
❒fan speed (continuous variation of the air flow);
❒compressor activation (for cooling/dehumidifying
the air);
❒air recirculation.
All functions may be changed manually. In other
words, you may select one or more functions and
change the parameters as required. Automatic
control of the manually changed functions will be
suspended: the system will only override your
settings for safety-related reasons (e.g. risk
of misting).
