Failure to replace the fil-

ter can reduce the cli-
mate control system’s ef-

ficiency considerably.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

Feet

Air is directed towards the feet

through:

– three front vents for the first row

(2 on the driver’s side and 1 on the
passenger’s side);

– four vents on the floor (2 for the

second row and 2 for the third row).

Windscreen/feet

Air is distributed with the same per-

centage to the feet (40%) and wind-
screen vents (40%), but a small per-
centage is devoted to ventilation (20%)
in order to guarantee the passenger
compartment heating and to prevent
frosting.

This type of air distribution is applied

by the climate control system auto-
matic operation, especially when the
external temperature is very low and
it is necessary to direct some warm air
towards the driver’s hands.

MAX-DEF function

Air is completely directed to the

windscreen and front side windows.

This function is used for the wind-

screen/side window rapid defrost-

ing/demisting and rear heated window
activation with only one operation.

Such function is activated manually

and enables the following functions:

– ventilation with maximum air ca-

pacity;

– air mixing completely hot;

– air recirculation off (outside air);

– compressor on;

– air distribution to the windscreen;

– rear heated window on.

When the MAX-DEF function is on

it is possible to alter the air capacity
and to deactivate the rear heated win-
dow.

The rear heated window works for

a limited time and turns off automati-
cally.

AIR QUALITY

The system is fitted with a pollen fil-

ter which prevents dust particles and
pollen coming from the outside from
getting into the system.

Have the pollen filter checked at a

Fiat Dealership at least once a year,
possibly at the beginning of spring/
summer.

If the car is often used in dusty or

highly polluted areas, you should check
or change the pollen filter more fre-
quently.
