2016 FIAT DOBLO PANORAMA climate control

Air flow to the front and rear
footwell vents. Thanks to the
natural tendency of hot air to rise,
this distribution pattern allows
the passenger compartment to
warm up as quickly as possible,
providing an immediate feeling of
warmth.
Air flow distributed between
footwell diffusers (hotter air)
and central and side
dashboard vents (cooler air).
This distribution mode is
particularly useful in spring and
autumn on sunny days.
Air flow distributed between
the footwell vents and the
windscreen and front
side window defrosting/
demisting vents. This allows an
adequate warming of the
passenger compartment and
prevents the windows from
misting up.
The distribution set is shown by the
corresponding LEDs in the selected
buttons coming on.
To restore automatic control of the air
distribution after a manual selection,
press the AUTO button.Fan speed adjustment
buttons (H)
Press the H button at its ends to
increase or to decrease the fan speed
and therefore the amount of air sent
into the passenger compartment,
though the required temperature
remains set.
The fan speed is shown by the lit bars
on the display:
❒Maximum fan speed = all the bars lit
up
❒Minimum fan speed = one bar lit up.
The fan can only be excluded if the
climate control system compressor has
been switched off by pressing the F
button fig. 73.
IMPORTANT To restore automatic fan
speed control after a manual
adjustment, press the AUTO button.
IMPORTANT At high vehicle speeds,
the dynamic effect may increase the
flow of air into the passenger
compartment which in this case will not
directly correspond to the fan speed
bar display.AUTO button (A)
(automatic operation)
Press AUTO to make the system
automatically adjust the quantity and
distribution of the air introduced into the
passenger compartment. All previous
manual settings will be cancelled.
The message FULL AUTO will appear
on the front display in this condition.
By manually adjusting at least one
of the functions automatically managed
by the system (air recirculation, air
distribution, fan speed or switching off
the compressor), the word FULL will
disappear from the display, indicating
that the system is no longer
automatically controlling all the
functions (the temperature will still be
controlled automatically).
IMPORTANT Should the system (after
manual intervention) no longer be
able to guarantee the target
temperature for the passenger
compartment, the set temperature
value will start flashing to indicate the
difficulties the system is experiencing
and then the word AUTO will go out.
To restore system automatic control at
any time, after one or more manual
adjustments, press the AUTO button.

Air recirculation on/off
button (G)
The air recirculation is managed
according to the following operating
logic:
❒override on (inside air recirculation
always on), indicated by the LED
on button G and the
symbol on
the display;
❒override off (air recirculation
constantly off with air intake from the
outside), signalled by the LED in
the button switching off and by the
symbol in the display
disappearing.
These operating conditions are
obtained by pressing air recirculation
button G in sequence.
IMPORTANT The engagement of the air
recirculation system makes it possible
to reach the required heating or cooling
conditions faster.
It is however inadvisable to use it on
rainy/cold days as it would considerably
increase the possibility of the windows
misting inside, especially if the climate
control compressor is off.
To prevent the windows from misting
up, the recirculation is forced off (i.e. air
is drawn in from the outside) when
the outside temperature is cold.It is advisable not to use the air
recirculation function when the outside
temperature is low to prevent the
windows from rapidly misting up.
Climate control
compressor
enablement/off button
(F)
Press button
to switch the climate
control compressor off (if on). The icon
on the display will go out.
Press the button when the LED is off to
automatically restore system control
and use of the compressor. The icon
will light up in the display in this case.
The system will switch recirculation
off when the compressor is switched off
to prevent windows from misting up.
Although the system is capable of
maintaining the required temperature,
the word FULL will disappear from
the display. If, on the other hand, it is no
longer capable of maintaining the
temperature, the letters flash and the
word AUTO goes out.
IMPORTANT With the compressor off, it
is not possible to introduce air cooler
than ambient temperature into the
passenger compartment. Furthermore,
in certain conditions, the windows
could mist up rapidly because the air is
not dehumidified.The system remembers that the
compressor has been switched off,
even after the engine has stopped.
To restore automatic compressor
control, press the
button again (in
this case, the system will only work as a
heater) or press the AUTO button.
With the compressor switched off, if the
outside temperature is higher than the
one set, the system is not capable
of satisfying this request and signals it
by the digits for the temperature setting
flashing after which the word AUTO
goes out.
With the climate control compressor
off, the fan speed can be set to zero
manually (no bar shown).
With the compressor enabled and the
engine started, the fan speed may
be reduced to the minimum setting
(only one bar shown).

are suitable;
❒sets air recirculation off;
❒sets maximum air temperature HI in
both areas;
❒sets the fan speed according to the
engine coolant temperature to limit
the flow of air that is not sufficiently
warm to demist the windows;
❒directs air flow to windscreen and
front side windows vents;
❒sets heated rear window on.
IMPORTANT The rapid demisting/
defrosting function for the windows
remains on for about 3 minutes from
when the engine coolant reaches the
appropriate temperature for a rapid
demisting of the windows.
When this function is active, the LED on
the corresponding button and the one
on the heated rear window button
switch on. The message FULL AUTO
goes off on the display.
You can only adjust the fan speed and
switch off the heated rear window
manually when this function is active.
To restore the previous operating

SPEEDOMETER
This shows the speed at which the
vehicle is travelling.
REV COUNTER
The rev counter shows the engine rpm.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection
control system gradually shuts off
the flow of fuel when the engine
is “over-revving” resulting in a gradual
loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev
counter may indicate a gradual or
sudden increase of the speed.
This behaviour is standard as it takes
place during the activation of the
climate control system or the fan. It
should not be considered as a fault. In
such cases, a slight increase in engine
idle speed helps to sustain the battery
charge.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
This shows the amount of fuel left in the
fuel tank.
E tank empty.
F tank full (see the instructions provided
in the “Vehicle refuelling” paragraph).
The warning light on the gauge comes
on to indicate that approximately 8-10
litres of fuel are left in the tank.Do not travel with the fuel tank almost
empty: any gaps in fuel supply could
damage the catalytic converter.
IMPORTANT The needle will point to E
and warning light A will flash to indicate
a fault in the system. Contact a Fiat
Dealership to have the system
checked.
ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE
INDICATOR
This shows the temperature of the
engine coolant fluid and starts working
when the fluid temperature exceeds
approx. 50°C.
In normal usage, the needle should
hover around the middle of the scale.
C Low engine coolant temperature.
H High engine coolant temperature.
The warning light on the gauge may
light up (and a message on the
multifunction display may appear on
certain versions) to indicate that the
coolant fluid temperature is too high; in
this case, stop the engine and contact
a Fiat Dealership.
10)
IMPORTANT
10) If the needle for the engine
coolant temperature reaches the
red area, stop the engine
immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
