Ease of use and comfort
► Use a coin to unscrew the cap and replace
the battery.
Do not throw remote control batteries
away, as they contain metals that are
harmful to the environment. Take them to an
approved disposal point.
If the system is switched on using the
long-range remote control, the maximum
heating duration is around 45 min.
The ventilation is activated provided that
the battery is su󰀩ciently charged.
The heating is activated provided that:
– the battery charge and the fuel level are
su󰀩cient,
– the engine has been started since the
previous heating cycle,
– 60 minutes have elapsed between two
heating requests.
Programmable heating is supplied by the
vehicle fuel tank. Before use, make sure
that you have su󰀩cient fuel. If the fuel tank is
on reserve, you are strongly recommended
not to programme the heating.
The additional heating must always be
switched o󰀨 while refuelling to avoid any risk
of re or explosion.
To avoid the risk of poisoning or
asphyxia, the programmable heating
must not be used, even for short periods, in a
closed environment such as a garage or
workshop which is not equipped with an
exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on a ammable
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, paper, etc.)
- Risk of re!
Glazed surfaces such as the rear screen
or windscreen can become very hot in
places.
Never put objects on these surfaces; never
touch these surfaces - Risk of burns!
Independent additional
heating
Depending on the country of sale, this is an
additional and independent system which heats
the hot water circuit of the Diesel engine to
improve comfort and to raise the temperature
of the cold engine. It improves demisting and
defrosting performance. With the engine idling
or the vehicle stationary, it is normal to notice a
high-pitched whistling and some emissions of
smoke or odour.
The temperature near the heating system must
not exceed 120°C. A higher temperature (e.g. in
a paint oven) could damage the components of
electronic circuits.
The additional heating is supplied by the
vehicle's fuel tank. Make sure that the low fuel
warning lamp is not on.
To avoid the risks of poisoning or
su󰀨ocation, the additional heating must
not be used, even for short periods, in a
closed environment such as a garage or
workshop which is not equipped with an
exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on a ammable
surface (for example: dry grass, fallen
leaves, paper, etc.) - risk of re!
Have the additional heating checked at
least once a year, at the beginning of
winter.
For maintenance and repairs, you must
only contact a Fiat Dealership or a qualied
workshop.
