2015 FIAT BRAVO Owners Manual

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.
The additional heater comes on automatically when
the engine is started, if knob A is turned to the
last red sector and the fan (knob C) is at least at the
first speed level.
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.SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
In winter, the climate control system must be turned
on at least once a month for about 10 minutes.
Before summer, have the system checked at a Fiat
Dealership.

DESCRIPTION The car is equipped with a dual zone climate control system which allows you to adjust the airtemperature on the driver's and the passenger's sideseparately. The system has an AQS function (Air Quality System)
recirculation when the outside air is polluted (e.g. intraffic queues and tunnels). CONTROLSA

SWITCHING ON THE CLIMATE CONTROLSYSTEM The system can be activated by pressing any of the buttons; it is, however, advisable to set the desiredtemperatures on the display, then press the AUTO button.The climate control system allows you to customise the temperatures requested (driver side andpassenger side) with a maximum difference of 7°C. The climate control system compressor works only with the engine running and an outsidetemperature of above 4°C. AUTOMATIC OPERATION OF THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM (AUTOfunction) Press the AUTO button; the system will automatically adjust: ❒
the amount of air introduced into the passenger compartment;
❒
the distribution of the air in the passengercompartment;
cancelling all previous manual adjustments. During climate control system automatic operation, the words FULL AUTO appear on the display.

During automatic operation it is still possible to
adjust the temperatures set and carry out the
following operations manually:
❒fan speed adjustment;
❒ air distribution selection;
❒ internal air recirculation and AQS function
activation/deactivation;
❒ climate control system compressor activation.
WARNING
It is advisable not to use the internal air
recirculation function when the outside
temperature is low, because the windows could
mist rapidly.
FAN SPEED ADJUSTMENT
Press button
to increase/decrease the fan speed.
The 12 possible speeds are indicated by bars lighting
up on the display:
❒ maximum fan speed = all bars lit
❒ minimum fan speed = one bar lit.
The fan can be disabled (no bars lit) only if the
climate control system compressor has been
switched off by pressing button
.
To restore automatic fan speed control after a
manual adjustment, press the AUTO button. RAPID FRONT WINDOW
DEMISTING/DEFROSTING
(MAX-DEF function)
Press button to automatically activate the timed
operation of all the functions required to rapidly
demist/defrost the windscreen and front side
windows.
The functions are:
❒
climate control system compressor activation
(with an outside temperature of above 4°C);
❒ switching off, if previously on, of the internal air
recirculation (LED on button
off );
❒ activation of heated rear window (LED on button
on) and door mirror heater coils;
❒ setting maximum air temperature;
❒ activation of air flow.

to activate: when this function is
activated, the button LED switches on.
This function is timed and will deactivate
automatically after 20 minutes. Press the button

IMPORTANT Press
to introduce air from the
outside (in this case the LED on the button should be off ). ACTIVATION OF INTERNAL AIR RECIRCULATION AND ENABLEMENT OFAQS FUNCTION (Air Quality System) Press button
. Internal air recirculation is carried
out according to three possible operating modes: ❒
automatic control, signalled by the AQS sign on the display and the LED on button
being
off;
❒
forced deactivation (internal air recirculationalways off with introduction of outside air),indicated by the LED on button
being off;
❒
forced activation (internal air recirculation alwayson), signalled by the LED on button
being lit.
When OFF button is pressed, the climate controlsystem automatically activates internal airrecirculation (the LED on button T should be on). Itis still possible to activate outside air recirculation(LED on the button off ) and vice versa, by pressingbutton T. With the OFF button pressed (LED on the button is lit up), it is not possible to enable the AQS (AirQuality System) function.
IMPORTANT Internal air recirculation makes itpossible to reach the required heating or coolingconditions more quickly depending on the modeselected. It is not advisable to switch the internal airrecirculation on when it is rainy/cold to preventthe windows from misting, especially if the climatecontrol system has not been activated. It is advisableto switch the internal air recirculation on whilstqueuing or in tunnels to prevent the introduction ofpolluted air. Do not use the function for a longtime, particularly if there are several passengers onboard, to prevent the windows from misting. AQS (Air Quality System) function activation The AQS function (AQS sign on the display) automatically activates internal air recirculation whenthe outside air is polluted (e.g. in traffic queues andtunnels). IMPORTANT With the AQS function active, after approx. 15 consecutive minutes of the internalair recirculation system functioning, the climatecontrol system enables the intake of outside air forapproximately 1 minute to freshen the air in thepassenger compartment. This takes place regardlessof the pollution level of the outside air.

The deactivation of the climate control systemcompressor is memorised even after the engine hasstopped. To reactivate the climate control systemcompressor, press the
or AUTO button again:
if you press AUTO, the other manual settings will becancelled. IMPORTANT In order to preserve the battery charge, the electronic climate control managementpermits a higher ventilation speed than minimumonly if the engine is running at a speed greater than750 rpm. When the speed drops below thisthreshold – possible when setting off, for example –the ventilation speed is automatically reduced tominimum. AIR DISTRIBUTION SELECTION Press one or more of these buttons
/
/
to
manually select one of the seven possible air distribution settings for the passenger compartment:
Air flow to the windscreen and front sidewindow diffusers to demist/defrost them.Air flow to the front and rear footwell diffusers.This air distribution allows the passengercompartment to be warmed up quickly.
Air flow distribution between front andrear diffusers, centre/side dashboarddiffusers, rear diffuser and windscreen andfront side window demisting/defrostingdiffusers.
Air flow distribution to centre/side dashboarddiffusers (passenger's body).
