The warning light will switch on, on
some versions, when a fault with
one of the following lights is
detected:
– side lights
– brake lights
– rear fog lights
– direction indicators
– number plate lights.
The fault relating to these lights
could be: one or more blown bulbs,
a blown protection fuse or a break
in the electrical connection.
On some versions, the display shows
a dedicated message.The presence of water in
the fuel supply circuit
may cause severe
damage to the injection system
and irregular engine operation.
If the
cwarning light switches
on (on some versions together
with the message on the
display), contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible
to have the system bled. If this
problem is indicated
immediately after refueling,
water may have entered the fuel
tank. In this case, stop the
engine immediately and contact
a Fiat Dealership.

CLIMATE CONTROL
(COOLING)
To cool the air in the passenger
compartment quickly, the vehicle
features a climate control system.
Proceed as indicated below:
1) Air temperature knob A:
indicator on blue section (turned
to the far left).
2) Fan knob C turned to fourth
speed, indicator at 4 -.
3) Cursor B: at v
4) Air distribution knob D: indicator
at
¥; check that all diffusers are
open.
5) Climate control: press knob C.To assist the process of cooling the
air in the passenger compartment,
especially when the vehicle has been
parked in the sun, lower the
windows on the doors for a
maximum of 2 or 3 minutes, so that
air is exchanged with the outside.
To regulate cooling: move the air
recirculation cursor to
¶, increase
the temperature and decrease the
fan speed.
HEATING
For heating and ventilation functions,
do not activate climate control.
Instead, use the normal heating and
ventilation system (see previous
section).FAST DEMISTING AND/OR
DEFROSTING
The climate control system is very
useful for speeding up demisting
since it dehumidifies the air.
Simply adjust the controls as
appropriate for demisting and
activate the climate control, by
pressing knob C.
Windscreen and side windows
1) Climate control: press knob C.
2) Air temperature knob: indicator
