IMPORTANT It is advisable to switch the air recirculation on whilst queuing or in tunnels, or whilst driving on dusty roads, to
prevent the introduction of polluted air. However, it is better not to use the function for long periods, particularly if there are
many people on board, to prevent the windows from misting.

D - Heated rear window, folding mirror/heated windscreen (for versions/markets, where available) activation/deactivation
button. The LED on the button switches on to indicate activation. To maintain battery efficiency, the function is automatically
deactivated after about 20 minutes
E - Fan speed and climate control system activation/deactivation knob (for versions/markets, where available).
IMPORTANT In warm-humid weather conditions, using cold air on the windscreen may cause external condensation, which
could limit visibility.
NOTE To stop the air flow from the vents, position the knob at 0 and put knob B to internal air recirculation.
.
ADDITIONAL HEATER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This device speeds up passenger compartment warming when it is very cold. The heater switches on automatically according
to the environmental conditions, with engine started and when the temperature of the engine coolant is low. The additional
heater turns off automatically after the required comfort conditions are achieved.
The heater only operates if the outside temperature and engine coolant temperature are low. The heater will not activate if the
battery voltage is too low.

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.
