Air distribution selection
By pressing the buttons//,it
is possible to set one of the 5 possible
air distributions manually:
Air flow to the windscreen and front
side window vents to
demist/defrost them.
Air flow at central and side
dashboard vents to ventilate the
chest and the face during the hot
season.
Air flow to the front and rear
footwell vents. This air distribution
setting heats the passenger
compartment most quickly, giving a
prompt sensation of warmth.
+Air flow distributed between
footwell vents (hotter air) and
central and side dashboard
vents (cooler air). This air
distribution setting is useful in
spring and autumn on sunny
days.
+Air flow distributed between
footwell vents and windscreen
and front side vents. This
distribution setting allows the
passenger compartment to be
warmed up efficiently and
prevents the windows from
misting up.
In AUTO mode, the climate control
system automatically manages air
distribution (the LEDs on buttons 7 are
off). When set manually, the air
distribution is indicated by the LEDs on
the selected buttons switching on.
In combined function mode the relevant
function is enabled simultaneously with
those already set by pressing the
corresponding button. If a button
whose function is already active is
pressed, the operation is cancelled and
the corresponding LED switches off. Torestore automatic control of the air
distribution after a manual selection,
press the AUTO button.
Start&Stop(where provided)
The automatic climate control system
manages the Start&Stop system
(engine off when vehicle speed is equal
to 0 km/h) to ensure adequate comfort
inside the vehicle.
When the Start&Stop system is on
(engine off and vehicle at a standstill),
the automatic recirculation
management is turned off always taking
air in from outside, to reduce the
probability of the windows misting up
(as the compressor is off).
IMPORTANT
2)The system uses a coolant that is
compatible with the laws in force in
countries where the vehicle is sold, R134a
or R1234yf. In case of a recharge
operation, only use the gas indicated on
the label placed 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
To change fuel type, press the
fig. 70 button on the dashboard with
the car stationary and engine running,
or while driving.
16) 17)
LPG FUEL RESERVE
When the residual quantity of LPG
drops below 1/5 of the tank capacity:
the first bar on the display 1
fig. 72 remains on;
the yellow warning light2onthe
instrument panel turns on;
an acoustic signal is emitted.
This condition will last until the next
LPG refuelling, also in the event of
petrol operation.
If the LPG runs out, the system
automatically switches to petrol and the
1 fig. 69 warning light on the
dashboard turns on.SYSTEM FAILURE SIGNALLING
In the event of an LPG system failure,
the
symbol will be displayed and all
the level bars will turn off.
In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible, running on petrol.
REFUELLING
18) 19)
LPG
Maximum refuelling capacity (including
reserve): 42 litres. The figure already
takes into account the 80% tank filling
limit and the residual fluid required for
priming; this figure represents the
maximum permitted capacity. In
addition, after different refuelling
processes, this figure may vary due to
differences between the network pump
supply pressures, pumps having
different supply/locking features, tank
not completely run out of fuel.
IMPORTANT In order to avoid
inconsistent information by the LPG
gauge on the instrument panel, it is
recommended to refill with at least
10 litres each time.
WARNING
33)Note that in some countries (including
Italy) there are legal restrictions in force for
parking/garaging motor vehicles fuelled by
gas that is denser than air; LPG comes
under this category.
34)If gas is smelt, switch from LPG
operation to petrol operation and
immediately go to a Fiat Dealership to have
the vehicle checked and possible system
faults excluded.
IMPORTANT
12)The car is equipped with a gaseous
LPG injection system designed specifically
for it: it is therefore absolutely forbidden to
alter the configuration of the system or its
components. The use of other components
or materials could cause malfunctions and
lead to a reduction in safety; therefore, in
the case of problems, contact a Fiat
Dealership. To prevent damage to the gas
system parts when towing or raising the
vehicle, follow the instructions in the
"Towing the vehicle" paragraph of the
Owner Handbook.
13)The system operates at temperatures
ranging between −20°C and 100°C.

Once the lever is in the P position, or
after turning off the car, it will not be
possible to select R nor any forward
gear. In this case, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
WARNING
118)Never use position P (Park) instead of
the parking brake. Always engage the
parking brake when parking the car to
avoid the accidental movement of the car.
119)If the P (Park) position is not engaged,
the car could move and injure people.
Before leaving the car, make sure that the
gear lever is in position P and that the
parking brake is engaged.
120)Do not shift the gear lever to N
(Neutral) and do not stop the engine when
driving on a downhill road. This type of
driving is dangerous and reduces the
possibility of intervening in the case of
variation of the road traffic or surface. You
risk losing control of your car and causing
accidents.
121)Never leave children unattended in
the car. Always remove the ignition key
when leaving the car and take the key with
you.
IMPORTANT
45)Before moving the gear lever from
position P (Park), bring the ignition device
to position MAR and press the brake pedal.
Otherwise, the gear lever may get
damaged.46)If the car is on a slope, always engage
the parking brake BEFORE moving the shift
lever to the P position.
47)Only engage reverse gear with the car
stationary, the engine idling and the
accelerator pedal fully released.
STOP/START
SYSTEM
(where provided)
The Start&Stop system automatically
stops the engine each time the vehicle
is stationary and starts it again when
the driver wants to move off.
In this way, the vehicle efficiency is
increased, by reducing consumption,
dangerous gas emissions and sound
pollution.
OPERATING MODE
Stopping the engine
Versions with manual transmission
With the vehicle stopped, the engine
stops with gearbox in neutral and clutch
pedal released.
Versions with automatic
transmission
With car at a standstill and brake pedal
pressed, the engine switches off if the
gear lever is in a position other than R.
The system does not operate when the
gear lever is in R, for making parking
manoeuvres easier. In the event of
stops uphill, engine switching off is
disabled to make the "Hill Hold Control"
function available (works only with the
engine running).

WARNING
139)Modifications or repairs to the electric
system that are not carried out properly or
do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.140)Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas, in the case of breakage they may
burst causing glass fragments to be
projected outwards.
141)Only replace the light bulbs when the
engine is off and in a position that does not
interfere with traffic and lets you safely
replace them (see the description in the
“Replacement” paragraph). Also ensure
that the engine is cold, to prevent the risk
of burns.
142)Before replacing the bulb, wait for the
exhaust ducts to cool down: DANGER OF
SCALDING!
IMPORTANT
61)Halogen bulbs must be handled
holding the metallic part only. Touching the
transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even reduce the lifespan
of the bulb. In the event of accidental
contact, wipe the bulb with a cloth
moistened with alcohol and let the bulb dry.
REPLACING FUSES
GENERAL INFORMATION
143) 144) 145) 146)
62)
Fuses protect the electrical system:
they intervene (blow) in the event of a
failure or improper action on the
system.
Fuse extracting pliers
To replace a fuse, use the pliers hooked
inside the engine compartment fuse
box cover (see fig. 160 ).
The pliers have two different ends,
specifically designed to remove the
different types of fuses present in the
vehicle.
