CLIMATE CONTROL
Advice for use
In some cases (air conditioning off, air
recirculation on, fan speed at zero or
too low, etc.), the vehicle windows and
windscreen may mist up. In case of
misting, use the MAX DEF function to
eliminate it, then, to prevent it from
re-forming, use the air conditioning in
automatic mode.
Vehicles with ECOMODE
Once activated, ECOMODE can reduce
the air conditioning performance. See
the “Driving suggestions” paragraph in
the “Starting and driving” chapter.

Consumption
Greater fuel consumption is normal
(especially in urban traffic) when the air
conditioning is in use.
For cars with air conditioning without
automatic mode, turn off the system
when you no longer need it.
Some advice for reducing fuel
consumption to a minimum and helping
safeguard the environment:
while driving, keep the diffuser open
and the windows closed;
if the vehicle has been parked in hot
weather or in the sun, aerate the
passenger compartment to let out the
hot air before starting off.
Maintenance
Please see the Scheduled Service Plan.
IMPORTANT Air conditioning function
means greater fuel consumption (turn
off the system when you no longer
need it).
IMPORTANT Use the climate control
system regularly, even if in cold weather,
running it for about 5 minutes at least
once a month.
Cars with additional heater
Some vehicles are equipped with an
additional heater that heats the
passenger compartment more quickly.
This device functions only with the
engine on and at low temperatures.
When functioning, a bit of smoke
issuing from the right side of the
vehicle, coming from the heat exhaust
system, is normal.
Irregular operation
Generally speaking, if you notice any
operational irregularity, please see a Fiat
Dealer.
Limited effectiveness of defrosting,
de-misting or air conditioning can be
due to a clogged cabin filter cartridge.
Cold air is not generated. Check the
position of the controls and condition of
the fuses. Otherwise, turn the system
off.
Water beneath the vehicle
After prolonged use of air conditioning,
it is normal to find water under it due to
condensation.
