FIAT 500 - Manual (Page 35)

E buttons fig. 30 - Temperature setting
When the button is pressed the temperature
requested in the passenger compartment rises until
the value HI is reached (maximum heating).
When the button is pressed
the temperature
requested in the passenger compartment decreases
until the value LO is reached (maximum cooling).
IMPORTANT If the heating fluid is not sufficiently
hot, the maximum fan speed does not come on
straight away in order to limit the intake of
insufficiently hot air into the passenger
compartment.
F buttons fig. 30 - - Fan speed adjustment
When the buttons or are pressed respectively,
the fan speed and that shown by the display bars
increases or decreases.
The fan can be cut off only if the compressor has
been switched off (B button).

AUTO button.
G H I buttons fig. 30 - Manual selection
of air distribution
By pressing the buttons, one of the five possible air
flow distribution patterns can be selected:
air flow to the windscreen and front side window
vents to demist or defrost them.
air flow to central and side dashboard vents to
ventilate the chest and the face during the hot
season.
air flow towards the front seat feet area. Due to
the natural tendency of heat to spread upwards,
this type of distribution warms the passenger
compartment up as quickly as possible, providing
an immediate feeling of warmth.
+ distribution between feet area vents
(warmest air) and dashboard vents (coolest
air).
+ distribution between feet area vents and
windscreen/front side window vents. This
type of distribution achieves effective
heating of the passenger compartment and
prevents the windows from misting up.
The set air distribution is shown by the LEDs on the
selected buttons.
To restore the automatic air distribution control,
press the AUTO button.
