FAN SPEED ADJUSTMENT
To ventilate the passenger compartment properly,
proceed as follows:
❒fully open the central and side air diffusers;
❒ turn knob A to the blue section;
❒ turn knob C to the required speed;
❒ turn knob E to
;
❒ turn off internal air recirculation (LED on button
off ).
INTERNAL AIR RECIRCULATION
ACTIVATION
Press button
: when the function is on, the
button LED lights up. It is advisable to switch the
internal air recirculation on while standing in queues
or in tunnels 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.
IMPORTANT Internal air recirculation makes it
possible to reach the required heating or cooling
conditions more quickly depending on the mode
selected. Do not use the internal air recirculation
function on rainy/cold days as it would considerably
increase the possibility of the windows misting. 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.

“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING FAILURE (red)
The warning light comes on when the ignition key is
turned to MAR-ON, but it should switch off after
a few seconds.
The electric power steering system will not work
when the warning light is on and considerably more
effort is needed on the steering wheel. The car
can still be steered. In this case, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
The display will show the dedicated message.“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING ACTIVATION (indication
on display)
The indication CITY switches on when the
"Dualdrive" electric power steering system is
activated by pressing the
button on the dashboard.
The indication CITY will switch off when the
button is pressed again.
EXCESSIVE ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE (red)
Turning the key to the MAR-ON position the
warning light switches on, but it should switch off
after a few seconds. The warning light turns on when
the engine is overheated. If the warning light comes
on, proceed as follows:
❒ when driving normally: stop the car, switch off
the engine and check that the water level in the
reservoir is not below the MIN mark. If it is, wait
for the engine to cool down, then slowly and
carefully open the cap, top up with coolant and
check that the level is between the MIN and MAX
marks on the reservoir. Also check visually for
any fluid leaks. If, when restarting, the warning
light switches on again, contact a Fiat Dealership.
❒ If the car is used under demanding
conditions (e.g. towing trailers uphill or fully
loaded): slow down and, if the light stays on, stop
the car. Wait for 2 or 3 minutes with the engine
running and slightly accelerated to further favour
the coolant circulation. Then stop the engine.
Check the correct coolant level as described
above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable
to keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for
a few minutes before switching it off.
The display will show the dedicated message.

WASHER FLUID FOR WINDSCREEN/
REAR WINDOW/HEADLIGHTS
If the level is too low, raise reservoir cap E (see
previous pages) and add the fluid described in the
chapter "Technical Specifications".
WARNING
Do not travel with the windscreen
washer reservoir empty: the windscreen
washer is essential for improving visibility. Some
commercial windscreen washer additives are
flammable.The engine compartment contains
hot components which may set it on fire. ENGINE COOLANT
The coolant level must be checked when the engine
is cold and must range between the MIN and MAX
marks on the reservoir.
If the level is too low, undo reservoir cap F (see
previous pages) and add the fluid described in the
chapter "Technical Specifications".
PARAFLU
UP
antifreeze is used in the
engine cooling system. Use the same fluid
as in the cooling system when topping
up. PARAFLU
UP
cannot be mixed with any other
type of fluid. If this happens, do not start the
engine; contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, replace the cap with another
of equivalent quality and the same
specifications as the original, otherwise the
efficiency of the system may be adversely
affected. Do not remove the reservoir cap when
the engine is hot : you risk scalding yourself.
