Heating and Ventilation
Advice
Using the ventilation and air
conditioning system
► To ensure that air is distributed evenly,
keep the external air intake grilles at the base
of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents, the
air outlets and the air extractor in the boot
free from obstructions.
► Do not cover the sunshine sensor located
on the dashboard; this sensor is used to
regulate the automatic air conditioning
system.
► Operate the air conditioning system for at
least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to
keep it in good working order.
► If the system does not produce cold air,
switch it o󰀨 and contact a Fiat Dealership or a
qualied workshop.
When towing a large load on a steep gradient
in high temperatures, switching o󰀨 the air
conditioning increases the available engine
power, enhancing the towing capacity.
Avoid driving for too long with the
ventilation o󰀨 or with prolonged operation
of interior air recirculation. Risk of misting and
deterioration of the air quality!
If the interior temperature is very high
after the vehicle has stood for a long
time in the sunshine, air the passenger
compartment for a few moments.
Put the air ow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
Condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of
water underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly
normal.
Servicing the ventilation and air
conditioning system
► Ensure that the passenger compartment
lter is in good condition and have the lter
elements replaced regularly.
We recommend using a composite passenger
compartment lter. Its specic active additive
helps protect against polluting gases and bad
smells.
► To ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, have it checked
according to the recommendations in the
Manufacturer’s service schedule.
Contains R134A uorinated
greenhouse gases
Depending on version and country of sale, the
air conditioning system may contain R134A
uorinated greenhouse gases. Gas capacity
0.5 kg (+/- 0.025 kg), GWP index 1430 (CO
2
equivalent: 0.715 t).
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems
only work when the engine is running.
Temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system to maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment.
For more information on Stop & Start, refer
to the corresponding section.
ECO driving mode
Selecting this mode reduces electrical
energy consumption, but restricts the
performance of the heating and air
conditioning systems, although it does not
deactivate them.
