IMPORTANT The air recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the
required heating or cooling conditions
faster, depending on the selected
mode. It is not advisable to switch the
internal air recirculation on when it is
rainy/cold or the windows might steam
up, especially if the climate control
system is not turned on.
CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM (cooling)
Proceed as follows:
turn knob A to the blue section;
turn knob B to the required speed;
turn knob C to;
press buttonsand E (button LEDs
on).
Adjusting cooling
Proceed as follows:
turn off internal air recirculation by
pressing button E (button LED off);
turn knob A rightwards to increase
the temperature;
turn knob B leftwards to reduce the
fan speed.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 B) is at
least at the first speed level.
The additional heater turns off
automatically after the required comfort
conditions are achieved.
IMPORTANT The heater will not turn on
if the battery voltage is too low.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
In winter, the climate control system
must be turned on at least once a
month for about 10 minutes. Have the
system inspected at a Fiat Dealership
before the summer.
WARNING
2)The air conditioning system uses
refrigerant R134a or R1234yf compatible
with the current regulations in the countries
where the vehicle is marketed. When
charging, only use the gas indicated on the
dedicated plate in the engine compartment
. The use of other coolants affects the
efficiency and condition of the system. The
lubricant used for the compressor is also
strictly linked to the type of cooling gas,
please refer to a Fiat Dealership.

(for versions/markets, where provided)
Push this button to activate the
demisting/defrosting of the heated rear
window and electric door mirrors
When this function is active, the button
LED is on.
This function switches off automatically
after about 20 minutes or when you
push the button again, or when the
engine is turned off. It will not be
switched on automatically when the
engine is restarted.
IMPORTANT Do not affix decals to the
inside of the heated rear window over
the heating filaments, to avoid damage
that might cause them to stop working
properly.
Switching off the system OFF (E)
Press button E to switch the climate
control system off. The display will go
out.With the system off, the climate control
system conditions are as follows:
display off, temperature setting not
display, air recirculation on thereby
insulating the passenger compartment
from the outside (recirculation LED
on), climate control compressor off, fan
off. Press the AUTO button to switch
the climate control system back on
in full automatic mode.

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.
During regeneration, the following may
occur: a limited increase in the engine
speed, activation of the fan, a limited
increase in fumes and high
temperatures at the exhaust.
These are not faults; they do not impair
vehicle performance or damage the
environment.
If the dedicated message is displayed,
refer to paragraph "Warning lights
and messages".

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE
TYPES OF BULBS
Various types of bulbs are fitted to your
vehicle fig. 158:
AGlass bulbs: they are press-fitted.
Pull to extract.
BBayonet type bulbs: to remove from
its holder, press the bulb, turn it
anticlockwise, then remove.
CTubular bulbs: release them from their
contacts to remove.
DHalogen bulbs: to remove the bulb,
release the clip holding the bulb in
place.
EHalogen bulbs: to remove the bulb,
release the clip holding the bulb in
place.
WARNING
120)Modifications or repairs to the electric
system that are not carried out properly
or do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
121)Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas; in the case of breakage they may
burst.
WARNING
24)Halogen bulbs must be handled by
holding the metallic part only. If the
transparent bulb is touched with the
fingers, its lighting intensity is reduced and
life of the bulb may be compromised. In
the case of accidental contact, rub the
lamp with a cloth and alcohol and leave to
dry.
25)Where possible, it is advisable to have
bulbs changed at a Fiat Dealership. Proper
operation and direction of the external
lights are essential for driving in safety and
comply with law.

IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs
moisture. For this reason, if the vehicle
is mainly used in areas with a high
degree of atmospheric humidity, the
fluid should be replaced at more
frequent intervals than specified in the
“Scheduled Servicing Plan”.

POWER STEERING FLUID
Check that the oil level with the vehicle
on flat ground and the engine cold is
between the MIN and MAX marks
on the reservoir body G fig. 212 - fig.
213 - fig. 214 - fig. 215 - fig. 217 - fig.
218 - fig. 219.
The level may exceed the MAX mark
when the oil is hot.
If topping up is required, make sure the
oil you use has the same specifications
as that already in the system.
142)
5)
35)
WARNING
136)Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and inflammable
vapours may be present, with the risk of
fire.
137)When the engine is hot, take care
when working inside the engine
compartment to avoid burns. Remember
that when the engine is hot, the fan may
operate: danger of injury. Scarves, ties and
other loose clothing might be pulled by
moving parts.
138)The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the plug with
another original or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir plug when the engine
is hot: you risk scalding yourself.
139)Do not travel with the windscreen
washer fluid 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.
140)Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. In the event of accidental
contact, immediately wash the affected
parts with water and mild soap. Then rinse
thoroughly. Call a doctor immediately if
swallowed.141)The symbol
, on the brake fluid
container indicates if a brake fluid is
synthetic or mineralbased. Using
a mineral-type fluid will damage the special
rubber seals of the braking system beyond
repair.
142)Prevent power steering fluid from
coming into contact with hot engine parts:
it is flammable.
WARNING
31)When topping up, take care not to mix
up the various types of fluids: they are
not compatible with each other and could
seriously damage the vehicle.
32)Do not add oil with specifications other
than those of the oil already existing in
the engine.
33)PARAFLU
UPanti-freeze is used in the
engine cooling system. Use the same
fluid as in the cooling system when topping
up. PARAFLU
UPcannot be mixed with
any other type of fluid. If this occurs, do not
start the engine and contact your Fiat
Dealership immediately.
34)Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
35)Do not press on the power steering
end of travel with engine on for more than
8 consecutive seconds, since noise is
produced and there is a risk of system
damages.
