2021 FIAT TALENTO heating

A general grade from 0 to 100 appears
that allows you to assess your
ecological driving performance: high
values mean reduced fuel consumption.
Below is some ecological advice to
improve your performance. Store your
preferred routes lets you compare
performances. For further information,
refer to the RADIO/TOUCH – RADIO
NAV supplement.
ECOMODE
ECOMODE is a function that optimises
fuel consumption. It acts on a few of
the vehicle's uses (heating, air
conditioning, power steering, etc.) and
on a few driving operations
(acceleration, gear shift, speed
regulation, deceleration, etc.).
Activation of the function
Press button 4 fig. 225.
TheECOfig. 226 indicator light 5 on
the instrument panel turns on to
confirm that it has been activated.
While driving, you can temporarily leave
the ECOMODE function to reset all
engine performances.
To do this, press the accelerator pedal
firmly.
The ECOMODE function is reactivated
as soon as you release the accelerator.
Deactivating the function
Press button 4 fig. 225.
TheECOfig. 226 warning light 5 on the
instrument panel turns off to confirm
that it has been deactivated.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. 227
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. 228.
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.

WARNING
172)If the replaced fuse blows again, contact a Fiat Dealership.
173)Never replace a fuse with another with a higher amp rating; DANGER OF FIRE.
174)If a general protection fuse (MAXI-FUSE, MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-FUSE) blows, do not attempt any repair and contact a Fiat Dealership.
175)Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the key has been removed from the starter switch and that all the other services are switched off
and/or disengaged.
176)Contact Fiat Dealership if a safety system (airbags, brakes), engine system (engine, gearbox) or steering system general protection fuse
blows.
IMPORTANT
31)Never replace a fuse with metal wires or anything else.
32)If it is necessary to wash the engine compartment, take care not to directly hit the fuse box and the window wiper motors with the water
jet.

IN AN EMERGENCY

pull the tongue 4 fig. 285 (movement
A) and push the blade 3 upwards.
Reassembly
To refit the wiper, proceed in reverse
order. Make sure the blade is properly
locked in place.
Window wiper on rear swing doors
lift up the rear window wiper 5
fig. 286;
turn the blade 6 fig. 286 until you feel
resistance;
disengage the blade by pulling it
(movement C fig. 286 ).Rear window wiper on the tailgate
lift up the rear window wiper 7
fig. 287;
pull the tab 9 (movement B) and
push the blade 8 upwards (fig. 288 ).Reassembly
Proceed in reverse order for
dismounting. Make sure the blade is
properly locked in place.
IMPORTANT
59)In case of frost, make sure that it does
not immobilise the windscreen wiper blades
(risk of overheating the motor).
60)Check condition of the wiper blades.
You need to replace them as soon as they
are no longer efficient: about once a year.
61)When replacing the blade, once it has
been removed, do not let the wiper arm hit
the window: you can break the glass.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO
Using the starter motor
The instrument panel
warning lights
are dim or do not turn on, the starter
motor does not turn over.Battery terminal loose, disconnected or
rusted.Tighten it, reconnect it or clean it if it is rusted.
Battery run down or out of order.Connect another battery to the defective one. See the
paragraph "Emergency starting" or replace the battery if
necessary. Do not push the vehicle if the steering wheel
lock is engaged.
Circuit defective. Contact a Fiat Dealership.
The engine does not start.Starting conditions were not satisfied.Refer to the “Starting the engine” paragraph in the
“Knowing your vehicle” chapter.
The electronic key "easy access" does
not work.Insert the key in the reader to start the engine. Refer to the
“Starting the engine” paragraph in the “Knowing your
vehicle” chapter.
The engine does not stop.Electronic key not recognised. Insert key into the reader.
Electronic problem. Press the starter button five times in a row, quickly.
The steering wheel stays locked.Steering wheel locked.Turn the steering wheel and press the start button at the
same time (refer to the "Starting the engine” paragraph in
the “Knowing your vehicle” chapter).
Circuit defective. Contact a Fiat Dealership.
During driving
White smoke coming from the exhaust
pipe.This does not necessarily indicate a
defect: the smoke comes from
regenerating the particulate filter.Please see the paragraph "Details about the Diesel
version".
Smoke coming from underneath the
vehicle when starting the heating.This does not necessarily indicate a
fault: the smoke comes from the boiler.
In this case, the smoke will gradually
disappear when the passenger
compartment has reached the right
temperature.
