Window demisting
In the event of considerable external
moisture and/or rain and/or large differ-
ences in temperature inside and outside
the passenger compartment, perform the
following preventive window demisting
procedure:
❒turn knob A to red section;
❒turn air internal recirculation off by
pressing button D so the button LED
goes out;
❒turn knob C to -or to ®if the win-
dows do not demist;
❒turn knob B to 2ndspeed.
IMPORTANT The climate control system
is very useful to prevent the windows
misting up in the presence of high humid-
ity since it dries the air introduced into the
passenger compartment. HEATED REAR WINDSCREEN

LOOKING AFTER THE SYSTEM
Run the climate control system for at least
10 minutes every month during the win-
ter. Have the system inspected at a Fiat
Dealership before the summer.
The system uses R134a re-
frigerant fluid which does not
harm the environment in the
event of accidental leakage.
Never use R12 fluid, which is not com-
patible with the system components.IMPORTANT The air internal recircula-
tion system makes it possible to reach the
required heating or cooling conditions
faster.
Do not use the air internal recirculation
function on rainy/cold days as it would
considerably increase the possibility of the
windows misting up.
INTERNAL AIR INTERNAL
RECIRCULATION ACTIVATION
Press
•so that the button LED is on.
It is advisable to switch the internal air in-
ternal recirculation on while standing in
queues or in tunnels to prevent the in-
troduction of polluted air. Do not use the
function for a long time, particularly if
there are many passengers on board, to
prevent the windows from misting up.

provided) additional indications concern-
ing the deactivation or activation of
Start&Stop is given through a message on
the display. ENGINE STOPPING FAILURE
CONDITIONS
When the system is active, due to
comfort, emission control and safety
reasons, the engine does not stop in so-
me conditions, among which:
❒
engine still cold;
❒ especially cold outside temperature;
❒ battery not sufficiently charged;
❒ particulate filter regeneration (DPF) in
progress (diesel engines only);
❒ driver's door not shut;
❒ driver's seat belt not fastened;
❒ reverse gear engaged (for example,
for parking manoeuvres); ❒
for versions equipped with automatic
climate control (for versions/markets,
where provided), if an adequate level
of thermal comfort has not been rea-
ched yet or with MAX-DEF activa-
tion;
❒ during the first period of use for a
new car, to initialise the system.
In the above cases, for the versions/mar-
kets where provided, the LED on the but-
ton switches on, as shown in fig. 101.

RESTARTING CONDITIONS
For reasons of comfort, limiting harmful
emissions and safety purposes, the power
unit can restart automatically without any
action on behalf of the driver if certain
conditions are met, including:
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒extreme braking system pressure, e.g. following the brake pedal being pressed
repeatedly;
❒car moving around, for example whendriving on hilly roads;
❒stopping the engine through theStart&Stop system for more than about
three minutes.
❒automatic climate control system forestablishing a comfortable temperature
or enabling the MAX – DEF function.
With a gear engaged, the engine can be au-
tomatically restarted only by fully de-
pressing the clutch pedal. The driver is
asked to perform this operation through
a message on the instrument panel and,
for versions/markets, where provided, by
the warning light fig. 99 on the instrument
panel flashing
NB If the clutch is not pressed, when the
three minutes have elapsed since the en-
gine was stopped, the engine can be
restarted only by using the key. NB
In cases when the engine stops and
this is not desired, due for example to the
clutch pedal being released sharply with
a gear engaged, if the Start&Stop system
is activated, the engine can be restarted by
fully depressing the clutch pedal or by
putting the gear lever into neutral.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
In engine cut-out conditions through the
Start&Stop system, if the driver unfastens
his/her seat belt and opens the driver’s
door or the passenger door, the engine
can be restarted only by using the key.
The driver is notified of this condition
both by a buzzer and through an infor-
mation message on the display and (for
versions/markets, where provided) by the
warning light fig. 99 on the instrument
panel flashing. ENERGY SAVING FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If, after the engine has been automatical-
ly restarted, the driver does not take any
action for a period of about 3 minutes, the
Start&Stop system will definitively stop the
engine to avoid fuel consumption. In these
cases, the engine can be restarted only by
using the key.
NB
In any case, it is possible to keep
the engine running by deactivating the
Start&Stop system.
OPERATING IRREGULARITIES
In the case of malfunctions the Start&Stop
system is disabled. The driver is informed
of the problem by the general failure
warning light A-fig. 102, for versions/
markets, where provided, coming on with
an information message and the system
failure symbol B on the control panel. In
this case, contact a Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT
Before opening the bonnet,
make sure that the car is
switched off and the key is in the OFF
position. Follow the instructions on
the plate near the front crossmember
fig. 105. It is advisable to extract the
key when there are other people in
the car. The car should always be
evacuated after the key has been re-
moved or turned to the OFF position.
During refuelling operations, it is nec-
essary to make sure that the car is off
with the ignition key in the OFF po-
sition.
WARNING
For cars with a robotised
transmission, if the engine
cuts out automatically on a gradient,
it is advisable to restart the engine by
moving the gear lever towards (+) or
(-) without releasing the brake pedal.
For vehicles with Dualogic transmis-
sion, where the Hill Holder function
is present, if the engine cuts out au-
tomatically whilst on a hill, it is ad-
visable to restart it by moving the
gear lever towards (+) or towards (-)
without releasing the brake pedal to
make the Hill Holder function –
which is active only when the engine
is running – available.
WARNING
If you want to prioritise cli-
mate comfort, the Start&Stop
system can be disabled to allow con-
tinuous operation of the climate con-
trol system.

PARAFLUUPanti-freeze is
used in the engine cooling sys-
tem. Use the same fluid as in
the cooling system when top-
ping up. PARAFLU
UPmay not be mixed
with any other type of fluid. If this hap-
pens, do not start the engine; contact
a Fiat Dealership.
The cooling system is pres-
surised. If the cap needs re-
placing, do so with another original
or the effectiveness of the system may
be compromised. Do not remove the
cap from the reservoir when the en-
gine is hot: you may get burned
WARNINGENGINE COOLANT fig. 7
The coolant level must be checked when
the engine is cold and must be between
the MIN and MAX lines on the vessel.
If the level is low, slowly pour a mixture
of 50% demineralised water and 50%
PARAFLU
UP(made by PETRONAS LU-
BRICANTS) through the filler neck
A until the level reaches MAX.
The 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU
UPand
demineralised water gives freeze protec-
tion up to −35°C.
For particularly harsh climate conditions,
a mixture of 60% PARAFLU
UPand 40%
distilled water is recommended.
Used engine oil and the re-
placed oil filter contain sub-
stances that may be harmful
to the environment. It is ad-
visable to have oil and filters changed
by a Fiat Dealership, where they will be
disposed of properly and in accordance
with the law.
Do not add oil with different
characteristics to those of the
existing engine oil.
Be very careful working in
the engine compartment
when the engine is hot: you may get
burned. Remember that the fan may
start up if the engine is hot: this could
injure you. Make sure that scarves,
ties and other loose fitting garments
do not get caught up in moving parts.
