THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM

This is an electrical engine locking system whichincreases protection against attempted theft of thevehicle. It is automatically activated when the ignitionkey is removed.

An electronic device, in fact, is fitted in each ignition keygrip. The device transmits a radio-frequency signal whenthe engine is started through a special aerial built intothe ignition switch. The modulated signal, which changeseach time the engine is started, is the “password”, bymeans of which the control unit recognises the key andenables to start the engine.

OPERATION

Each time the vehicle is started by turning the ignitionkey to MAR-ON, the Fiat CODE system control unitsends a recognition code to the engine control unit todeactivate the immobiliser.

The acknowledgement code is sent only if the FiatCODE system control unit has recognised the codetransmitted from the key.

Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP, the FiatCODE system deactivates the functions of the enginemanagement control unit.

If the code is not recognised correctly during ignition,the Y warning light comes on on the instrument paneltogether with a specific message on the display (see“Warning lights and messages”).

SYMBOLS

Special coloured plates have been attached near or onsome of the components of your vehicle. These platesbear symbols that draw your attention to theprecautions required when handling the component inquestion.

The plate summarising the symbols used can be foundunder the bonnet, fig. 2.

Window demisting

In the event of considerable external moisture and/or rainand/or large differences in temperature inside and outsidethe passenger compartment, perform the followingpreventive window demisting procedure:



❒ turn the ring nut C to - or to ® if the windowsdo not demist;

❒ turn the knob B to the 2nd speed.

IMPORTANT The climate control system is very usefulfor preventing the windows misting up in presence ofhigh humidity since it dehumidifies the air introducedinto the passenger compartment.

IMPORTANT to ensure fast demisting/defrosting, if anadditional heater/air conditioner is present (under thefront or rear seat on Panorama and Combi versions),if it is activated, turn it off using the button F (LED off)located on the control panel fig. 51.

After demisting/defrosting, operate the controls torestore the required comfort conditions.

IMPORTANT The climate control system is very usefulfor speeding up the demisting because it dehumidifies theair. Adjust the controls as described above and press thebutton E to switch the climate control system on; theLED in the button will light up.

INTERNAL AIR RECIRCULATIONACTIVATION

Turn the knob D to Ò.

It is advisable to switch the internal air recirculation onwhile standing in queues or in tunnels to prevent theintroduction of polluted air. Do not use the function fora long time, particularly if there are many passengers onboard, to prevent the windows from misting up.

IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation system makesit possible to reach the required heating or coolingconditions faster.

Do not use the air recirculation function on rainy/colddays as it would considerably increase the possibility ofthe windows misting inside.

SYSTEM SERVICING

In winter, the climate control system must be turned onat least once a month for about 10 minutes. Beforesummer, have the system inspected at a Fiat Dealership.

Press the button A to activate this function; when thisfunction is on the warning light in the button comes on.

This function is timed and will turn off automaticallyafter 20 minutes. Press the button A again to switch thefunction off.

IMPORTANT Do not apply stickers on the inside of therear window over the heating filaments to avoid damagethat might cause it to stop working properly.

The system uses R134a refrigerant fluidwhich does not pollute the environmentin the event of accidental leakage. Under

no circumstances should R12 fluid be used as it isincompatible with the system components.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROLSYSTEM(for versions/markets, where provided)

GENERAL INFORMATION

The automatic climate control system adjusts thetemperature, the quantity and the distribution of the airin the passenger compartment. The temperature control is based on the “equivalenttemperature”: in other words, the system continuouslyworks to keep the comfort level inside the vehicleconstant and to compensate for possible variations inoutside conditions, including the sun’s rays detected bya dedicated sensor. The automatically controlledparameters and functions are:❒ air temperature at the vents;❒ air distribution at the vents;❒ fan speed (continuous air flow variation);❒ compressor activation (to cool/dehumidify the air);❒ air recirculation.

All functions may be changed manually. In other words,you may select one or more functions and change theparameters as required. Automatic control of themanually changed functions will be suspended: thesystem will override your settings only for safety-relatedreasons (e.g. risk of misting up). Manual selections willalways take priority over automatic settings and will bestored until the user switches the system back toautomatic operation by pressing the AUTO button againexpect for the cases in which the system will intervenefor particular, safety-related reasons. You can adjust onefunction manually without affecting the automaticcontrol of the others. F0N0831mfig. 53

USING THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM

The system can be started in different ways, but it isadvisable to start by pressing the AUTO button andthen turning the knob to set the temperature requiredon the display. The system will start runningautomatically in this way and the set temperature will bereached as quickly as possible. The system will adjustthe temperature, the quantity and the distribution of theair introduced into the passenger compartment and, bymanaging the recirculation function, the activation of thecompressor. During fully automatic operation, the onlymanual intervention required is the possible activationof the following functions:

❒ Ò air recirculation, to keep it always on or off;

❒ Z to speed up demisting/defrosting of the frontwindows, rear window and door mirrors.

During fully automatic system operation, you can changethe set temperature, air distribution and fan speed atany time by using the relevant buttons or knobs: thesystem will automatically change its settings to adjust tothe new requirements. During fully automatic operation(FULL AUTO), the word FULL will disappear if the airdistribution and/or flow rate and/or engagement of thecompressor and/or recirculation settings are changed.In this way, the functions will switch from automatic tomanual control until the AUTO button is pressed again.With one or more functions turned on manually, theadjustment of the intake air temperature continues tobe managed automatically, except with the compressorswitched off: if this is the case, the temperature of theair introduced into the passenger compartment cannotbe lower than that of the outside air.

CONTROLS

Air distribution buttons (B)

Press these buttons to manually set one of the seven air distribution settings:

▲ Air flow to the windscreen and front side windowvents to demist or defrost the windows.

˙ Air flow to the central and side dashboard vents toventilate the chest and the face in hot weather.

▼ Air flow to the front and rear footwell vents. Thanksto the natural tendency of hot air to rise, thisdistribution pattern allows the passengercompartment to warm up as quickly as possible,providing an immediate feeling of warmth.

˙▼

Air flow distribution split between footwell vents(hotter air) and central and side dashboard vents(cooler air). This distribution mode is particularlyuseful in spring and autumn on sunny days.

▲▼

Air flow distribution split between the footwell ventsand the windscreen and front side windowsdefrosting/demisting vents. This allows an adequatewarming of the passenger compartment andprevents the windows from steaming up.

This function may be used to heat up the passengercompartment by exploiting the system’s potential to thefull. In this event, the system stops controlling thetemperature automatically and sets the air mixing tomaximum heating. The air speed and distribution arefixed.

In particular, if the heating fluid is not sufficiently hot,the maximum fan speed does not come on straight awayin order to limit the intake of insufficiently hot air to thepassenger compartment.

All manual settings will be allowed when this function is on.

To switch the function off, simply turn the temperatureknob anticlockwise and set the required temperature.

❒ LO function (maximum cooling):

select by turning the temperature knob anticlockwisebeyond the minimum value (16°C).

This function may be used to cool down the passengercompartment by exploiting the system’s potential to thefull. In this event, the system stops controlling thetemperature automatically and sets the air mixing tomaximum cooling. The air speed and distribution arefixed. All manual settings will be allowed when thisfunction is on.

To switch the function off, simply turn the temperatureknob clockwise and set the required temperature.
