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
sent into the passenger compartment
and, by managing the recirculation
function, the activation of the
compressor. During fully automatic
operation, the only manual intervention
required is the possible activation of
the following functions:
air recirculation (to keep the
recirculation constantly on or constantly
off);
to speed up demisting/
defrosting the windscreen, rearscreen
and external rear-view mirrors.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

During fully automatic system
operation, you can change the set
temperature, air distribution and fan
speed at any time by using the relevant
buttons or knobs: the system will
automatically change its settings to
adjust to the new requirements. During
fully automatic operation (FULL AUTO),
the word FULL will disappear if the air
distribution and/or flow rate and/or
engagement of the compressor and/or
recirculation settings are changed. In
this way, the functions will switch from
automatic to manual control until the
AUTO button is pressed again. With
one or more functions turned on
manually, the adjustment of the intake
air temperature continues to be
managed automatically, except with the
compressor switched off: if this is the
case, the temperature of the air sent
into the passenger compartment
cannot be lower than that of the
outside air.
WARNING
2)The air conditioning system uses R134a
or R1234yf refrigerant compatible with
the regulations in force in the countries
where the vehicle is sold. 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.
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. 62.

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.
34)
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;
a digital timer fig. 63 for turning the
heater on manually or for programming
its turn-on time.IMPORTANT The heater is equipped
with a thermal limiter that cuts off
combustion in the case of overheating
due to insufficient coolant/coolant
leaks. In this case, after repairing the
fault in the cooling system and/or
topping up the fluid, press the program
selection button before turning the
heater back on.

versions and the grille on the left wheel
arch side for Combi versions).
ADDITIONAL REAR
CLIMATE CONTROL
(Panorama and Combi)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Panorama and Combi versions
are equipped with a main heating/air
conditioning system plus an additional
system (available on request) with
controls in the roof panel trim above the
second row of seats fig. 64. Button F
fig. 65 on the control panel must be
enabled for operation; the air
conditioning only works if the main air
conditioner is on.
When the knob D is placed in the
fully cold position (control in blue sector)
cold air comes out the vents in the
ceiling.
Turn the knob D to the maximum
heating position (knob at red
sector);warm air will emerge (with the
engine warmed up), from the rear
footwell outlets (located under the seats
in the 2nd and 3rd row for Panorama
versions and the grille on the left wheel
arch side for Combi versions).
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.
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
34)The heater burns fuel in the same way
as the engine, though to a lesser extent. To
prevent poisoning and asphyxiation, the
supplementary 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.

TACHOGRAPH
For tachograph operation and use,
consult the owner handbook supplied
by the device manufacturer. The
tachograph must be installed on the
vehicle when the vehicle weight (with or
without trailer) exceeds 3.5 tons.
IMPORTANT Anyone making changes
to the monitoring device or signal
transmission system that affects
recording by the monitoring instrument,
particularly if this is done for purposes
of fraud, may be in breach of criminal or
administrative state regulations.
IMPORTANT If a tachograph is fitted, if
the vehicle is parked for more than 5
days, it is advisable to disconnect
the negative battery terminal to
maintain its charge.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not use abrasive detergents or
solvents to clean the device. To clean
the outside of the device, use a damp
cloth or special products for the care of
synthetic materials.The tachograph is installed and sealed
by authorised personnel: do not try
and access the device or the supply
and recording leads in any way. It is the
responsibility of the owner of the vehicle
on which the tachograph is installed to
check the device regularly.
The check must be carried out at least
every two years and a test must be
carried out to ensure that it is working
properly. Ensure that the data label
is renewed after every check and that
the label contains the specified data.
SELF-LEVELLING AIR
SUSPENSION
GENERAL INFORMATION
The system only acts on the rear
wheels.
The system maintains the rear ride
setting for the vehicle constant in any
loading condition, while ensuring a
greater driving comfort.
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
There are 7 pre-defined levels for the
free height from the ground: from “ride
-3” to “ride 0” till “ride +3”.
Automatic adjustment
When moving, the system automatically
shows that the vehicle is in 'ride setting
0' and keeps it constant.
While adjusting, the LED located on the
button (A or B fig. 74) corresponding
to the direction of travel, flashes.
Manual adjustment
5)
With the vehicle stationary and the
engine on or off, the desired height level
can be set.

The TPMS does not replace the
correct tyre maintenance. It is up to the
driver to maintain the correct tyre
pressure level measuring it with
a suitable pressure switch. This is
necessary even if the decrease in the
inflation pressure value does not cause
the tyre pressure control warning light
to switch on.
The TPMS warns the driver of any
condition of insufficient tyre pressure
If this drops below the insufficient
pressure limit for any reason including
low temperature and normal pressure
loss of the tyre.
The seasonal temperature changes
affect tyre pressure.
The TPMS uses wireless devices with
electronic sensors mounted on the
wheel rims to constantly monitor the
value of tyre pressure. The sensors
mounted on each wheel as part of the
valve stem transmit various information
of the tyres to the receiver module, in
order to calculate the pressure.
IMPORTANT Monitoring and
maintaining the correct pressure in all
four tyres are particularly important.Tyre pressure monitoring system
low pressure warnings
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by turning on the
warning light on the instrument
panel (together with a warning message
and an acoustic signal).
In this case, stop the vehicle as soon as
possible, check the inflation pressure
of each tyre and inflate to the cold tyre
pressure value prescribed for the
vehicle. The system will automatically
update and after receiving the tyre
pressure update the tyre pressure
control warning light switches off. You
may need to drive the vehicle for about
20 minutes at a speed higher than 20
km/h to allow the system to receive this
information.
TPMS operation faults
The system fault is indicated by the
corresponding warning light
, which
first flashes for 75 seconds and then
stays on continuously. This can occur in
any of the following situations:
interference caused by electronic
devices or radio frequency emissions
similar to those of the TPM sensors.
Application of tinted films which
interfere with the signals of the radio
waves.
Presence of snow or ice on the
wheels or the wheel arches.
Use of snow chains.
Use of wheels/tyres not equipped
with TPM sensors.
The space-saver wheel is not
equipped with the tyre pressure control
sensor. Therefore, the tyre pressure is
not controlled by the system.
If the space-saver wheel replaces a
tyre with a pressure lower than the
insufficient pressure limit, an acoustic
signal will be emitted and the
warning light will turn on at the next
start-up.
When the original tyre is repaired or
replaced and it is mounted back on
the vehicle to replace the space-saver
wheel, the TPMS will update
automatically and the warning light will
switch off, provided that the pressure of
none of the four tyres is below the
insufficient pressure limit. You may need
to drive the vehicle for about 20
minutes at a speed higher than 20
km/h to allow the TPMS to receive this
information.

DRIVING ADVISOR
(lane crossing warning)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
77) 78) 79)The Driving Advisor is a warning system
that notifies the driver if he/she crosses
the lane because he/she has been
distracted.
A video sensor, fitted on the windscreen
near the interior rear view mirror,
detects the lane demarcation lines and
the position of the vehicle in relation
to them.
IMPORTANT On cars with Driving
Advisor, it is advisable to contact a Fiat
Dealership should the windscreen
need to be replaced. If the repair is
carried out at a specialist window
replacement centre, it is still necessary
to go to a Fiat Dealership to have the
camera calibrated.
OPERATION
The system is always active when the
vehicle is started. It can be deactivated
or re-activated by pressing the button
A fig. 85 on the dashboard (see
following description).
The LED on the button switches on to
confirm that the system has been
activated and a dedicated message
appears on the display.When the system is activated, the LED
on the dedicated button is off. If the
user deactivates the system, the LED
on the button switches on constantly
and a dedicated message appears
on the display to confirm that the
system has been switched off.
The system is enabled each time the
vehicle key is cycled and starts
recognition of the operating conditions
(condition signalled to the driver when
the 2 direction warning lights
and
on the instrument panel turn on).
When the system recognises the
operating conditions, it becomes active,
i.e. it can assist the driver with visual
and acoustic warnings. Therefore, the
two direction warning lights
and
on the instrument panel turn off to
prevent excessively frequent warnings
while driving in towns or on winding
roads at low speeds.IMPORTANT If the operating conditions
are no longer present, the system
remains activated but inactive.
Therefore, the driver is warned by the 2
direction warning lights
andon
the instrument panel turning on
continuously.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
FOR ACTIVATION
Once switched on, the system
becomes active only if the following
conditions are met:
front driving direction (reverse not
engaged);
the system does not detect any
error;
calibration in progress;
vehicle speed between 60 km/h and
the max. vehicle speed;
presence of lane demarcation lines
not deteriorated and visible on both
sides;
suitable visibility conditions;
straight line or wide radius bends;
sufficient field of vision condition
(safety distance from vehicle in front);
direction indicators not activated
in the lane exiting direction (e.g. right
lane exiting direction, right direction
indicator activated);
