indicator lamp flashes 3 times.
NOTE The factory setting is “Disable
automatic rear window demister”.
WARNING
60)For safety, make sure you have a clear
view through all windows.
IMPORTANT
18)When using the air conditioning, the
idling speed may slightly increase as the air
conditioning compressor is switched on/off
automatically. While the vehicle with an
automatic transmission is stationary, fully
depress the brake pedal to prevent the
vehicle from creeping.
19)When using the mode selection dial
between the
andpositions, prevent
fogging by moving the air selection lever to
select outside air (refer to “Air selection
lever”).
20)Use of the
(recirculation) position
for extended time may cause the windows
to fog up.21)If the outside air is dusty or otherwise
contaminated, or if high cooling
performance is desired, set air selection
lever to the
(recirculation) position and
the temperature control dial all the way to
the right. Switch to the
(outside)
position periodically to increase ventilation
so that the windows do not become
fogged up.
IMPORTANT
2)The system uses a coolant that is
compatible with the laws in force in the
countries where the vehicle is sold, R134a
or R1234yf (indicated on a specific plate in
the engine compartment). The use of other
coolants affects the efficiency and condition
of the system. Also the compressor
coolants used must be compatible with the
indicated coolant.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
ECONOMICAL
DRIVING
For economical driving, there are some
technical requirements that have to be
met. The prerequisite for low fuel
consumption is a properly adjusted
engine. In order to achieve longer life of
the vehicle and the most economical
operation, we recommend you to have
the vehicle checked at regular intervals
in accordance with the service
standards.
Fuel economy and generation of
exhaust gas and noise are highly
influenced by personal driving habits as
well as the particular operating
conditions. The following points should
be observed in order to minimize wear
of brakes, tyres and engine as well as
to reduce environmental pollution.
Starting the engine
Avoid sudden acceleration and sudden
starts, as they will increase fuel
consumption.
Shifting
Shift only at an appropriate speed and
engine speed. Always use the highest
shift position possible.
The transfer shift lever or the drive
modeselector should be set to “2H”
when driving 4WD vehicles on normal
roads and express ways to obtain best
possible fuel economy.City traffic
Frequent starting and stopping
increases the average fuel
consumption. Use roads with smooth
traffic flow whenever possible. When
driving on congested roads, avoid use
of a low shift position at high engine
speeds.
Idling
The vehicle consumes fuel even during
idling. Avoid extended idling whenever
possible.
Speed
At higher the vehicle speed, more fuel is
consumed. Avoid driving at full speed.
Even a slight release of the accelerator
pedal will save a significant amount of
fuel.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at
regular intervals. Low tyre inflation
pressure increases road resistance and
fuel consumption. In addition, low tyre
pressures adversely affect tyre wear
and driving stability.Cargo loads
Do not drive with unnecessary articles
in the luggage compartment. Especially
during city driving where frequent
starting and stopping is necessary, the
increased weight of the vehicle will
greatly affect fuel consumption. Also
avoid driving with unnecessary luggage
or carriers, etc., on the roof; the
increased air resistance will increase
fuel consumption.
Cold engine starting
Starting of a cold engine consumes
more fuel. Unnecessary fuel
consumption is also caused by keeping
a hot engine running. After the engine is
started, commence driving as soon as
possible.
Cooler or air conditioning
The use of the air conditioner will
increase the fuel consumption.

STARTING AND
STOPPING THE
ENGINE
Tips for starting
Except for vehicles equipped with
the keyless operation system
Do not operate the starter motor
continuously longer than 10 seconds;
doing so could run down the battery. If
the engine does not start, turn the
ignition switch back to “LOCK”, wait a
few seconds, and then try again. Trying
repeatedly with the starter motor still
turning will damage the starter
mechanism.
203)
79) 80) 81) 82) 83) 84)
For vehicles equipped with the
keyless operation system
The operation mode can be in any
mode to start the engine.
The starter motor will be turning for up
to approximately 15 seconds if the
engine switch is released at once.
Pressing the engine switch again while
the starter motor is still turning will stop
the starter motor. The starter motor will
be turning for up to approximately
30 seconds while the engine switch is
pressed. If the engine does not start,
wait for a while and then attempt to
start the engine again. Trying repeatedly
with the starter motor still turning will
damage the starter mechanism.

Starting the engine (petrol-powered
vehicles)
Except for vehicles equipped with
the keyless operation system
Your vehicles equipped with an
electronically controlled fuel injection
system. When starting the engine, do
not depress the accelerator pedal.
The starting procedure is as follows:
Insert the ignition key and fasten the
seat belt.
Make sure the parking brake is
applied.
Depress and hold the brake pedal.
Depress the clutch pedal all the way
and place the gearshift lever in the “N”
(Neutral) position.
After turning the ignition key to the
“ON” position, make certain that all
warning lamps are functioning properly
before starting the engine
Turn the ignition key to the “START”
position without depressing the
accelerator pedal, and release it when
the engine starts.A ticking noise may be heard after
starting the engine. This is not an
abnormal condition. The noise will
disappear after a short time of engine
running. If the ticking noise continues
after the engine is warmed up, have
your vehicle checked at a Fiat
Dealership.
Minor noises may be heard on engine
startup. These will disappear as the
engine warms up.
When the engine is hard to start
After several attempts, you may
experience that the engine still does not
start.
Make sure that all electric devices,
such as lamps, air conditioning blower
and rear window demister, are turned
off.
While depressing the clutch pedal,
press the accelerator pedal halfway and
hold it there, then crank the engine.
Release the accelerator pedal,

immediately after the engine starts.
If the engine still will not start, the
engine could be flooded with too much
petrol. While depressing the clutch
pedal, push the accelerator pedal all the
way down and hold it there, then crank
the engine for 5 to 6 seconds. Return
the ignition switch to the “LOCK”
position and release the accelerator
pedal. Wait a few seconds, and then
crank the engine again for 5 to
6 seconds while depressing the clutch
pedal, but do not push the accelerator
pedal. Release the ignition key if the
engine starts. If the engine fails to start,
repeat these procedures. If the engine
still will not start, we recommend you to
have the vehicle checked.
To protect the engine, the high-speed
mode may not be selected while the
engine coolant temperature is low. In
such a case, the engine revolutions do
not rise to over 5,000 rpm even if the
accelerator pedal is depressed.For vehicles equipped with the
keyless operation system
Your vehicles equipped with an
electronically controlled fuel injection
system. When starting the engine, do
not depress the accelerator pedal.
The starting procedure is as follows:
Fasten the seat belt.

down firmly with your right foot.
Depress the clutch pedal all the way
and place the gearshift lever in the “N”
(Neutral) position.
Press the engine switch.
Make certain that all warning lamps
are functioning properly.
When the engine is not started, it may
become hard to depress the brake
pedal and the vehicle may not be able
to detect the pedal operation. Therefore
the engine may not be started. In such
a case, depress the brake pedal more
firmly than usual.
A ticking noise may be heard after
starting the engine. This is not an
abnormal condition. The noise will
disappear after a short time of engine
running. If the ticking noise continues
after the engine is warmed up, have
your vehicle checked at a Fiat
