GRAPHICAL INDEX
INTRODUCTION
The automatic climate control
system adjusts the temperature, the
quantity and the distribution of the
air in the passenger compartment.
The temperature control is based on
the "equivalent temperature": in
other words, the system
continuously works to keep the
comfort level inside the vehicle
constant and to compensate for
possible variations in outside
conditions, including the sun's rays
detected by a dedicated sensor. 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 override
your settings only for safety-related
reasons (e.g. risk of misting).
Manual selections will always take
priority over automatic settings and
will be stored until the user switches
the system back to automatic
operation by pressing the AUTO
button again except for the cases in
which the system will intervene for
particular, safety-related reasons.
You can adjust one function
manually without affecting the
automatic control of the others.
The temperature of the air sent is
always controlled automatically,
depending on the temperature set in
the display (except when the
system is off or in certain conditions
when the compressor is switched
off).The system allows the following
parameters and functions to be set
or altered manually: air temperature,
fan speed (continuous variation);
air distribution in seven positions;
compressor enablement; fast
defrosting/demisting function; air
recirculation; switching off the
system.
USING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
The system can be started in
different ways, but it is advisable to
start by pressing the AUTO button
and then turning the knob to set the
temperature required on the display.
The system will start running
automatically in this way and the set
temperature will be reached as
quickly as possible. The system will
adjust the temperature, the quantity
and the distribution of the air
introduced into the passenger
compartment and will manage the
recirculation function and the
compressor engagement. During
fully automatic operation, the only
manual intervention required is
the possible activation of the
following functions:

WARNING
46) For connection to the existing
devices supplied in the vehicle
contact a Fiat Dealership to
prevent any problems that could
impair vehicle safety.
PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
The following devices are used for
reducing petrol fuel engine
emissions:
❒three-way catalytic converter
(catalytic converter);
❒oxygen sensors;
❒evaporation control system.
In addition, do not let the engine
run, even for a test, with one or
more spark plugs disconnected.
The following devices are used for
reducing diesel fuel engine
emissions:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system
(EGR);
❒particulate filter (DPF) (for versions/
markets, where provided).
DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER (DPF)
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a
mechanical filter, integral with the
exhaust system, that physically
traps carbon particles present in the
exhaust gases of diesel engines.
The diesel particulate filter has been
adopted to eliminate almost all
carbon particles in compliance with
current / future legal regulations.
During normal use of the vehicle, the
Powertrain Control Module records
a set of data (travel time, type of
route, temperatures reached etc.)
and calculates how much particulate
has been trapped by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps
particulate, it should be regenerated
(cleaned) at regular intervals by
burning carbon particles. The
regeneration procedure is controlled
automatically by the Powertrain
Control Module according to the
filter conditions and vehicle usage
conditions.

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
amberVEHICLE PROTECTION SYSTEM FAILURE -
FIAT CODE
When the key is turned to MAR the warning light
will flash only once and then switch off.
If, with the ignition key at MAR, the warning light
stays on permanently, this indicates a possible
failure (see “Fiat Code system” in the “Know your
vehicle” chapter);
If, with the engine running, the
warning light
flashes, it means that the vehicle is not protected
by the engine immobiliser device.Contact a Fiat Dealership to have all the keys
stored in the memory.
amberREAR FOG LIGHTS
The warning light comes on when the rear fog
lights are turned on.
Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
amberGENERIC FAILURE INDICATION
The warning light turns on in the following
circumstances:
❒Engine oil pressure sensor failure
❒Lights failure (rear fog, direction indicator,
reverse, number plate, side, daytime running)The failure relating to these lights could be: one
or more blown bulbs, a blown protection fuse or
a break in the electrical connection.
101
Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
❒Fuel cut-off system failure
❒Park sensor failure.
❒Start&Stop system failureContact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to
have the fault fixed.
The warning light turns on and flashes to indicate a
failure of the
warning light. In this case, the
warning light may not indicate a fault in the
restraint systems.Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership to
have the system checked immediately.

amberDPF (PARTICULATE FILTER) CLEANING
UNDERWAY
(for versions/markets, where provided)
When the key is turned to MAR, the warning light
switches on but it should switch off after a few
seconds.
The warning light switches on constantly to inform
the driver that the DPF system needs to eliminate
the trapped pollutants (particulate) through the
regeneration process.
A dedicated message will appear on the display
when the warning light switches on (for versions/
markets, where provided).The warning light does not come on during
every DPF regeneration, but only when driving
conditions require that the driver is notified. The
warning light will switch off if the vehicle remains
in motion until regeneration has been
completed. On average, the process lasts 15
minutes.
The best conditions to complete the
regeneration process are reached by driving the
vehicle constantly at 60 km/h with engine speed
above 2000 rpm. When this warning light
comes on, it does not indicate a vehicle failure
and it should not therefore be taken to a
workshop.

panelWhat it means What to do
amberPARKING SENSOR FAILURE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light turns on when failure is detected
in the parking sensors.
On certain versions the
warning light comes on
instead. In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership.
On certain versions a dedicated message is
displayed.
amberSTART&STOP SYSTEM FAILURE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light comes on when a fault is
detected in the Start&Stop system.
On certain versions the

instead. In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership.
On certain versions a dedicated message is
displayed.
IMPORTANT
13) If, when the ignition key is turned to MAR, thewarning light does not switch on or if it stays on steadily or
flashing when travelling (on certain versions together with the message on the display), contact a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.
