WARNING
45)If the ignition device has been
tampered with (e.g. an attempted theft),
have it checked by a Fiat Dealership before
driving again.
46)Always take the key with you when you
leave your vehicle to prevent someone
from accidentally operating the controls.
Remember to engage the parking brake.
Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle.
47)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installation of anti-theft
device) that could adversely affect
performance, invalidate the warranty, cause
serious safety problems and also result in
the car not meeting type-approval
requirements.
48)Never extract the mechanical key while
the vehicle is moving. The steering wheel
will automatically lock as soon as it is
turned. This also applies to cases in which
the vehicle is towed.
49)Before exiting the vehicle, ALWAYS
engage the parking brake, steer the
wheels, engage the first gear if uphill and
the reverse if downhill. If the vehicle is
parked on a steep slope, chock the wheels
with wedges or stones. When leaving the
vehicle, always lock all the doors by
pressing the button on the key.
CLIMATE CONTROL
Advice for use
In some cases (air conditioning off, air
recycling on, ventilation speed nil or
insignificant, etc.), the vehicle windows
and windscreen can mist up. In case of
misting, use the MAX DEF function to
eliminate it, then, to prevent it from
re-forming, use the air conditioning in
automatic mode.
Maintenance
Please see the Scheduled Service Plan.
IMPORTANT Air conditioning function
means greater fuel consumption (turn
off the system when you no longer
need it).
50) 51)
2)
Consumption
Greater fuel consumption is normal
(especially in urban traffic) when the air
conditioning is in use. Some advice for
reducing fuel consumption to a
minimum and helping safeguard the
environment:
deactivate the system when it is not
needed;
while driving, keep the diffuser open
and the windows closed;
if the vehicle has been parked in high
temperatures or in the sun, aerate the
passenger compartment to let out the
hot air before leaving.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

Vehicles with additional heater
Some vehicles are equipped with an
additional heater that heats the
passenger compartment more quickly.
This device functions only with the
engine on and at low temperatures.
When functioning, a bit of smoke
issuing from the right side of the
vehicle, coming from the heat exhaust
system, is normal.
Irregular operation
Generally speaking, if you notice any
operational irregularity, please see a Fiat
Dealer.
Limited effectiveness of defrosting,
de-misting or air conditioning can be
due to a clogged cabin filter cartridge.
Cold air is not generated. Check the
position of the controls and condition of
the fuses. Otherwise, turn the system
off.
Water beneath the vehicle
After prolonged use of air conditioning,
it is normal to find water under it due to
condensation.

Air temperature adjustment
Use control 5 fig. 91 depending on the
desired temperature. The farther the
indicator is in the red zone, the higher
the temperature.
Ventilation speed adjustment
Use control 3 fig. 91 from 0 to 4 fig. 91.
The farther to the right you turn it, the
more air is diffused. If you want to stop
air entry, place control 3 fig. 91 at 0.
The system is deactivated: ventilation
speed in the passenger compartment is
nil (vehicle stopped), you can still notice
a slight air flow when the vehicle is
moving.
NOTE Prolonged use of this control in
position 0 can make the side windows
and windscreen mist up even though
the air inside the passenger
compartment is not stuffy.
Quick de-misting: Passenger
compartment isolation/air recycling
deactivated (warning light on button 4
fig. 91 is off), turn controls 1 fig. 91 and
3 fig. 91 to the positions
. Air
conditioning activation lets you speed
up de-misting.
Activating the passenger
compartment isolation/air
recycling.
Press button 4 fig. 91 (the warning light
will go on).
In this position, the air in the passenger
compartment is recycled without
introducing outside air.Air recirculation allows you:
to isolate the outside environment
(when driving in polluted areas, etc.);
to get the desired internal passenger
compartment temperature more
quickly.
IMPORTANT Prolonged use of air
recycling can make the side windows
and windscreen mist up even though
the air inside the passenger
compartment is not stuffy. We advise
you to return to normal function
(outside air) by pressing button 4
fig. 91 again as soon as air recycling is
no longer needed.
Passenger compartment air
distribution
Turn the knob 1 fig. 91 to select the
distribution type.
The airflow is directed to the
dashboard vents.
The airflow is directed to the
dashboard vents and to the rear seat
lower vents.
The airflow is mainly directed
towards the front seat lower vents and
the dashboard vents. To direct the air
downwards only, close the dashboard
vents.
The airflow is distributed among all
the vents, the front side window vents,
the windscreen demisting vents and the
lower vents.
. The airflow is directed towards the
windscreen demisting vents and the
front side window demisting vents.
Turning the climate control system
on/off
The button 2 fig. 91 lets you turn on
(indicator light on) or off (indicator light
off) the air conditioning.
It cannot be turned on if control 3
fig. 91 is set at 0.
Using air conditioning lets you:
lower the interior car temperature;
de-mist the windows more quickly.
Air conditioning does not work when
the outside temperature is low.
IMPORTANT For vehicles equipped
with ECO mode (button 7 fig. 92 ):
when activated, ECO mode can reduce
the heating and/or climate control
performance.

Internal air recirculation
This function is managed automatically,
but you can also enable it manually. It
can be forced on by button 7 fig. 94,
which is highlighted by the button’s led
turning on
IMPORTANT In any case,
de-misting/defrosting takes priority over
air recycling.
Note:
during recycling, the air in the
passenger compartment is recycled
without introducing outside air;
air recirculation lets you isolate the
interior from outside influences (driving
in a polluted area, e.g.);
to get the desired internal passenger
compartment temperature more
quickly.
Manual use: Press button 7
fig. 94 and the integrated warning light
will go on.
Prolonged use of the recirculation
function can create unpleasant odours
and mist up the windows as the air is
not changed.
We advise you to return to automatic
mode by pressing button 7 fig. 94 again
as soon as air recirculation is no longer
needed.
Press button 7 fig. 94 again to
deactivate the this function.System deactivation
Turn control 6 fig. 94 to the OFF
position to deactivate the system. To
turn it on again, turn control 6
fig. 94 again to adjust the fan speed, or
press button 1 fig. 94.
ADDITIONAL CLIMATE
CONTROL
(For versions/markets where provided)
If equipped with them, the vehicle has
four diffusers that can be aimed, 1
fig. 96.
These controls only act on the amount
of air in the passenger compartment:
one control for heat (air coming out
of the lower diffusers);
one control for cold (air coming out
of the upper diffusers);
NOTE Do not close all four diffusers at
the same time (you risk damaging the
system components).Climate control system
Make sure the air conditioning is
working (button 2 fig. 97 led on).
IMPORTANT Pressing button 2
fig. 97 the led turns on:
when the led is on, the function is on;
when the led is off, the function is off.
WARNING
50)Do not introduce anything into the
vehicle's ventilation circuit (for example
perfumed items to remove unpleasant
odours, etc.) There is a risk of damaging or
fire.
51)Do not open the cooling liquid circuit. It
is dangerous to eyes and skin.

BehaviourRather than heat the engine while
stopped, we advise you to drive
moderately until the engine reaches its
normal operating temperature.
Speed increases fuel consumption.
Do not strain the engine by
exceeding speed in intermediary gears.
Use the highest gear.
Avoid sudden acceleration.
Brake as little as possible. By
assessing the danger or curve in
advance, it will be sufficient to lift your
foot off the accelerator.
When going uphill, we advise you to
keep a steady speed, without having to
change it.
In modern vehicles, double clutching
before stopping the engine is not
necessary and could even cause
damage.Tyres fig. 221
Pressure too low can increase fuel
consumption.
Using unsuitable tyres can increase
fuel consumption.
Advice for use
Favour the ECOMODE function.
Electricity increases fuel
consumption. We advise you to turn off
accessories when they are not in use.
You must use your lights according to
the laws in effect in the country you are
in.
Use diffusers as much as possible.
Driving at 100 km/h with the windows
open increases fuel consumption by
4% fig. 222.
For vehicles with climate control, fuel
consumption is increased (especially in
cities) when in use. For vehicles with
manual climate control, turn off the
system when you no longer need it.Some advice for reducing fuel
consumption and thus helping
safeguard the environment:
If the vehicle has been parked in high
temperatures or in the sun, open up the
doors to let out the hot air before
leaving.
Do not leave the roof rack mounted if
not in use.
When transporting particularly large
objects, use a trailer if possible.
To tow a camper, use an approved
deflector and do not forget to adjust it.
Avoid "door to door" use of the
vehicle (short trips with prolonged
stops) because the engine never
reaches its ideal temperature.
