towards the footwell diffusers. Due to the natural tendency of heat to spread upwards, this type of distribution warms the
passenger compartment up as quickly as possible, providing an immediate feeling of warmth.
+distribution between feet area diffusers (warmest air) and dashboard diffusers (coolest air).
+distribution between feet area diffusers and windscreen/front side window diffusers. This type of distribution achieves
effective heating of the passenger compartment and prevents the windows from misting up.
IMPORTANT In warm-humid weather conditions, using cold air on the windscreen may cause external condensation, which
could limit visibility.
E - Turns on/off the MAX-DEF function (fast front window defrosting/demisting).
F - Turns on/off the air conditioning compressor.
G - Turns on/off the internal air recirculation.
H - Climate control on/off.
F - Turns on/off the heated rear window and (for versions/markets, where available) the heated mirrors/heated windscreen.
L/M - Adjusts the fan speed.
The automatic climate control manages the Start&Stop function (engine off when the car speed is zero) to guarantee a suitable
comfort inside the passenger compartment.
NOTE In particularly severe climate conditions it is recommended to limit the use of the Start&Stop function to prevent the
compressor from continuously switching on and off, with consequent rapid misting of the windows and accumulation of
humidity with unpleasant smells in the passenger compartment.
.
WARNING
18)It is advisable not to use the air recirculation function when the outside temperature is low to prevent the windows from rapidly misting up.
WARNING
2)The system uses a coolant that is compatible with the laws in force in countries where the vehicle is sold, R134a or R1234yf. 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.

KNOWING YOUR CAR

WARNING
25)Be careful not to hit objects on the
storage shelf when you open the tailgate.
26)With the engine on, always make
sure that the tailgate is closed: exhaust
gases could be drawn inside the load
compartment.
27)Every attachment has a maximum load
capacity of 100 kg.
28)A heavy load that has not been
secured may cause serious injuries to
passengers in the event of an accident.
29)If you are travelling in an area with
limited opportunities for vehicle refuelling
and you wish to bring petrol with you in
a petrol can, you must do so in compliance
with current regulations and using an
approved can, appropriately secured to the
load securing attachments. Anyway, by
doing so, you increase the risk of fire in the
event of an accident with your vehicle.
USB PORT
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Depending on the trim level, the car
may be equipped with a USB port on
the dashboard for transferring data
from a USB Pen Drive, smartphone,
etc., or for slowly recharging an external
device fig. 31.
IMPORTANT After using a USB
recharging socket, we recommend
disconnecting the device (smartphone).
Always remove the cable from the
vehicle socket first, never from
the device . See fig. 32 for example.
Cables left flying or connected
incorrectly could compromise correct
recharging and/or the USB socket
condition.NOTE The USB port handles data
transmission from the Pen Drive/
Smartphone, etc. and slow recharging
of an external device, which is not
guaranteed as it depends on the device
type/brand.

JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, a jump starting can
be performed using the battery and
the cables of another vehicle, or using a
booster battery.
If the warning light
remains on
continuously on the instrument panel,
contact the Fiat Dealership immediately.
IMPORTANT NOTES
When a booster battery is used, comply
with the utilisation and precaution
instructions specified by the producer.
Do not use the booster battery or
any other source of external supply with
a voltage above 12 V: the battery, the
starter, the alternator and the electrical
system of the vehicle could be
damaged.
Do not attempt jump starting if the
battery is frozen. The battery could
break and explode!PREPARATION TO JUMP

IMPORTANT The positive terminal (+) of
the battery is shielded by a protective
cover. Lift the cover to access the
positive terminal.
Proceed as follows:
engage the handbrake, move the
Dualogic gear lever to P (Park) or,
for versions with manual gearbox, to
neutral and bring the ignition key to
STOP;
switch off all the other electrical
devices in the car;
if another vehicle is ready for jump
starting, park the vehicle within the
reach of the cables to be used for
starting, operate the handbrake and
make sure that the ignition is
deactivated.
IMPORTANT Avoid contact between
the two vehicles since this could cause
a connection to earth and may result
in serious injury to any people nearby.PROCEDURE FOR JUMP
STARTING
IMPORTANT If the procedure below is
carried out incorrectly, it can cause
severe injury to people or damage the
recharging system of one or both
vehicles. Carefully follow the
instructions given below.
Cable connection
