ADDITIONAL
HEATER
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
On some versions, an additional
heater is also present beneath the
driver's seat. The fan for this heater
is operated by means of the button
F located on the control panel fig.
53.
INDEPENDENT
ADDITIONAL
HEATER
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
The vehicle is available, on request,
with two different independent
heaters: one fully automatic, the
other which can be programmed.
AUTOMATIC VERSION
The additional heater is turned on in
automatic mode when the engine
is started and the required outside
temperature and coolant conditions
are present. Deactivation is always
automatic.
21)
IMPORTANT During periods with
low outdoor temperatures when the
device cuts in, check that the fuel
level is always higher than the
reserve level. Otherwise the device
could lock and require the
assistance of a Fiat Dealership.PROGRAMMABLE
VERSION
The additional heater operates
completely independently of engine
operation and allows the following:
❒heating the passenger compartment
with the engine off
❒defrosting the windows;
❒heat the engine coolant and then the
engine itself prior to starting.
The system consists of:
❒a diesel burner for heating the water
with an exhaust silencer for the
combustion gases;
❒a metering pump connected to the
reservoir pipes for supplying the
burner;
❒a heat exchanger connected to the
engine cooling system pipes;
❒a control unit connected to the
passenger compartment
heating/ventilation system to allow
automatic operation;
❒an electronic control unit for
controlling and adjusting the built-in
burner;

Hold button 4 pressed again. At the
same time press button 3 or 8.
The preset activation duration
is displayed and warning light 9 or
2 flashes.
Set the activation duration with
button 3 or 8.
The set activation duration is stored
as soon as the text in the display
disappears, or pressing button 4.
Switching the heating
system off
Deactivation of the system,
depending on the type of activation
(automatic or manual), may be:
❒automaticwhen the programmed
duration is over; when the set time
is over, the display switches off.
❒manualpressing the “immediate
heating” button on the timer again
(flame button 6).
In both cases, the heating warning
light, the display lighting and the
passenger compartment heater fan
go off and burning stops.The fluid circulation pump
continues to work for around two
minutes to dissipate as much
heat as possible; the heater can be
turned back on during this stage.
22)
IMPORTANT The parking heater
goes off when battery voltage is low
to allow the vehicle to be started.
IMPORTANT Before turning on the
device, ensure that the fuel level
is above the reserve. Otherwise the
device could lock and require the
assistance of a Fiat Dealership.
❒Always turn off the heater when
refuelling and near service stations to
avoid the risk of explosion or fire
hazards.
❒Do not park the vehicle on
inflammable material such as paper,
grass or dry leaves: fire hazard!
❒The temperature near the heater
should not exceed 120°C (e.g. during
oven painting in a body shop). The
electronic control unit components
may be damaged at higher
temperatures.❒Whilst the heater is operating with the
engine switched off, it absorbs
energy from the battery; the engine
should therefore be left running
for a while to make sure that the
battery is properly recharged.
❒To check the coolant level, follow the
instructions in the "Vehicle
maintenance" chapter, "Engine
coolant system fluid" paragraph. The
water in the heating circuit must
contain a minimum percentage of
10% antifreeze.
❒For maintenance and repairs, consult
only a Fiat Dealership and use only
original parts.MAINTENANCE
Have the additional heater checked
regularly at a Fiat Dealership (and
always at the start of every winter).
This will guarantee safe and
economic operation of the heater
as well as a long duration.

IMPORTANT If the compressor on
the main air conditioner control
is turned on (operation of button E),
even if the additional air conditioner
fan is in position 0, the 1st speed
will automatically be activated
to prevent ice formation, with
possible damage to the
component.
WARNING
21) The heater burns fuel in the
same way as the engine, though
to a lesser extent. To prevent
poisoning and asphyxiation, the
additional heater must never
be turned on, not even for short
periods, in closed environments
such as a garage or workshops
without extraction fans for the
exhaust gases.22) The heater burns fuel in the

❒If the selector knob D is placed in the
intermediate positions, the air will be
distributed between the vents in
the ceiling and the rear footwell
vents, varying the temperature.

FUEL CUT-OFF
SWITCH
The vehicle is fitted with a safety
switch that, in the event of a crash,
comes into operation by cutting
off the fuel supply and turning
off the engine as a consequence.When the inertia switch cuts in, it
cuts off the fuel supply and also
activates the hazard warning lights,
side lights and courtesy lights
while releasing all the doors and
displaying the relevant message;
they are deactivated by pressing
button A. On some versions, there
is also a safety relay that activates
in the event of impact to cut off
the electrical supply. In this way,
fuel is prevented from escaping
if the pipes are broken and the
formation of sparks or electrical
discharges following damage to the
vehicle electrical components is
avoided.
29) 30)
IMPORTANT After an accident,
remember to remove the key from
the ignition device to prevent the
battery from running down. If no
fuel leaks or damage to vehicle's
electrical devices (e.g. headlights)
are detected after the impact and
the vehicle is able to set off again,
reactivate the automatic fuel cut-off
switch.Restoring the fuel
cut-off switch
Press button A fig. 81 to reactivate
the fuel cut off switch.WARNING
29) If, after an impact, you smell fuel
or notice leaks from the fuel
system, do not reactivate the
switch to avoid the risk of fire.
30) Before reactivating the fuel
cut-off switch, carefully check for
fuel leaks or damage to the
vehicle's electrical devices (e.g.
headlights).
