You should read it right through before taking the road for the first time. You will find information, tips and important warnings regarding the driving of your car to help you derive the maximum

from your Fiat Idea’s technological features. You will find very valuable tips for your own safety, the car’s wellbeing and about how to protect the environment.

You are recommended to read carefully the warnings and indications, marked with the respective symbols, at the end

of the page:

personal safety;

the car’s wellbeing;

environmental protection.

The enclosed “Warranty Booklet” lists the services that Fiat offers to its Customers:

❒

the Warranty Certificate with terms and conditions for maintaining its validity

❒

the range of additional services available to Fiat Customers

Best regards and good motoring!

This Owner Handbook describes all Fiat Idea versions. As a consequence, you should consider only the

information which is related to the engine and bodywork version of the car you purchased.

RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

A system for continuously monitoring emission system components to ensure greater environmental protection is fitted in your car.

MUST BE READ!

ENGINE STARTING

Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress

the clutch without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.

Diesel engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the

and

warning lights to go off; turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.

PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL

While working, the catalyst develops a very high temperature. Do not park the car over grass, dry leaves, pine needles or any other inflammable materials: risk of fire.



REFUELLING

Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95.

Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590.

The use of other products or mixtures may irreparably damage the engine with invalidation of the warranty due to the damage caused.

THE OWNER HANDBOOK CONTAINS…

…information, tips and important warnings regarding the safe, correct driving of your car, and its maintenance. Pay particular attention to the symbols “ (personal safety) # (environmental protection) ! (the car’s wellbeing).

SCHEDULED SERVICING

Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring it stays in tip-top condition and safeguards its safety features, its environmental friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come.

CODE card

Keep the code card in a safe place, not in the car. You should always keep the electronic code written on the CODE card with you in case you need to carry out an emergency start-up procedure.

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES

If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical accessories (that will gradually drain the battery), visit a Fiat Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the car’s electric system can support the required load.

SYMBOLS

Special coloured labels have been attached near or actually on some of the components of your Fiat Idea. These labels bear symbols that remind you of the precautions to be taken as regards that particular component.

The plate summarising the symbols used can be found under the bonnet.

THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM

To further protect you car from theft, it has been fitted with an engine immobilising system. This system is automatically activated when the ignition key is removed.

An electronic device, in fact, is fitted in each ignition key grip. The device transmits a radio-frequency signal when the engine is started through a special aerial built into the ignition switch. The modulate signal, which changes each time the engine is started, is the “password”, by means of which the control unit recognises the key and enables to start the engine.

OPERATION

Each time the car is started turning the ignition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE system control unit sends a recognition code to the engine control unit to deactivate the inhibitor.

The code is sent only if the Fiat CODE system control unit has recognised the code transmitted from the key.

Each time the ignition key is turned to the STOP position, the Fiat CODE system deactivates the functions of the engine electronic control unit.

IMPORTANT The electronic injection control system gradually shuts off the flow of fuel when the engine is “over-revving” resulting in a gradual loss of engine power.

When the engine is idling, the rev counter may indicate a gradual or sudden highering of the speed.

This is normal as it takes place during normal operation, for example when activating the climate control system or the fan. In particular a slow change in the speed preserves the battery charge.

FUEL LEVEL GAUGE

This shows the amount of fuel left in the fuel tank (see the indications given in paragraph “At the filling station").

The reserve warning light (A) turns on to indicate that approx. 6 litres of fuel are left in the tank.

AUTOMATIC TWO-ZONE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM (where provided)

GENERAL

The car is fitted with a two-zone climate control system which makes it possible to separately adjust the air temperature on the driver’s side and on the passenger’s side. Temperature control is based on the “equivalent temperature” logic, i.e.: the system continuously works to keep constant the comfort inside the passenger compartment and to compensate any variation of the outside climate conditions, including sunshine detected by a proper sensor provided for the purpose.

The climate control system automatically controls and adjusts the following parameters and functions:

❒ air temperature at driver/front passenger vents;

❒ air distribution at driver/front passenger vents;

❒ fan speed (continuous air flow variation);

❒ compressor switching on (to cool/dehumidify air);

❒ air recirculation.

All the above functions can be changed manually at any time, i.e.: you can always modify one or more function settings. In this event, the system will no longer implement the automatic control of the functions changed manually (except for safety reasons, e.g.: risk of window misting).

Manual selections prevail over automatic ones and remain in storage until the user decides to resume automatic control, except when the system cuts in for particular safety conditions.

The control of functions not changed manually remains automatic.

The amount of air admitted to the passenger compartment does not depend on the car speed, since it is electronically controlled by the fan.

In any case, the temperature of the air admitted to the passenger compartment is controlled automatically (except when the system is off) according to the temperatures set on the driver’s and front passenger’s displays or under certain climatic conditions if the compressor is off).

SWITCHING THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM ON

The system can be started in different ways, but it is advisable to press one of the AUTO buttons and then to turn the knobs to set the temperatures required on the display.

It is possible to personalise required temperatures (driver and passenger) with a maximum difference of 7 °C.

This way the system will start working completely automatically to reach the temperatures set as quickly as possible. The system will adjust the air temperature, flow and distribution and will control the air recirculation function and the conditioner compressor on/off.

During fully automatic operation, the only manual settings required are the following:

❒ MONO, to align the air temperature and

distribution set on the passenger’s side (front or rear) with that on the driver’s side;

❒ …, air recirculation, to keep it always on or off; ❒ -, to speed up demisting/defrosting of

windscreen, front side windows, rear window and door mirrors;

❒ (, to demist/defrost the rear heated window and

the door mirrors.

During completely automatic system operation, the temperatures, air distribution and the fan speed set can be changed at any time through the relevant buttons or knobs: the system will automatically change its settings to adjust to the new requirements.

During full automatic operation (FULL AUTO), any change in air distribution and/or air flow and/or compressor turning on and/or air recirculation will obtain FULL disappearing. In this way functions will be controlled manually until pressing the AUTO button again. The fan speed is the same for all passenger compartment areas.

With one or more functions engaged manually, the adjustment of the temperature of the air admitted to the passenger compartment continues to be controlled automatically by the system, except with the climate control compressor off. In fact, in this condition, the air admitted to the passenger compartment cannot have a lower temperature than the outside air.

Air temperature adjustment knobs H-N

Turning the knobs clockwise or

counterclockwise, highers or lowers the temperature of the air required respectively in the left zone (knob N) or right zone (knob H) of the passenger compartment.

It is possible to personalise required temperatures (driver and passenger) with a maximum difference of 7 °C.

The temperatures set are shown on the displays near the relevant knobs.

Pressing button A (MONO) automatically aligns the temperature on the front passenger’s side with that on the driver’s side. It is therefore possible to set the same temperature between the two zones simply turning the knob on the driver’s side (N).

This function is provided to simplify temperature adjustment of the whole passenger compartment when only the driver is on board.

Separate operation of the set temperatures is automatically restored by turning knobs (H) or pressing button A (MONO) again when the button led is on.

Turning the knobs clockwise or counterclockwise until they reach the extreme selections HI or LO, the maximum heating or cooling functions are respectively engaged:

❒ HI function (highest heating power):

this is activated by turning the temperature knob clockwise above the max. value (32 °C). It can be activated independently from the driver’s or passenger’s side or both (also selecting the MONO function).

This function can be engaged when requiring to heat the passenger compartment as quickly as possible, exploiting the maximum potential of the system. This function uses the maximum temperature of the coolant fluid, while air distribution and fan speed are controlled according to the system settings.

More particularly, max. fan speed will not be immediately engaged if coolant is not hot enough; this to prevent admitting air that is not warm enough to the passenger compartment.

Air flow to the windscreen and front side window vents to demist or defrost them.

Air flow to dashboard central and side vents to provide satisfactory ventilation to the chest and face, specially during the summer.

▼

Air flow towards the front and rear lower parts of the passenger compartment. Due to the natural tendency of heat to spread upwards, this type of distribution allows heating of the passenger compartment in the shortest time, also giving a prompt feeling of warmth to the coldest parts of the body.

▼

Splitting of the air flow between the vents to the lower part of the passenger compartment (warmest air) and the dashboard centre and side outlets (coolest air). This air flow distribution is particularly useful in spring and autumn, when the sun is shining.

▲ ▼

Splitting of the air flow between the lower part of the passenger compartment and the windscreen and front side window demisting/defrosting vents. This type of air distribution allows satisfactory heating of the passenger compartment while preventing possible misting of the windows.

Fan speed adjustment buttons (L)

Pressing the ends of button p increases or decreases the fan speed and therefore the amount of air

admitted to the passenger compartment, although keeping the required temperature.

The fan speed is shown by the lit bars on the display

❒ max fan speed = all bars lit

❒ min fan speed = one bar lit.

The fan can be cut off only if the climate control compressor has been switched off pressing button B.

IMPORTANT To restore automatic fan speed control after a manual adjustment, press button AUTO.

Air recirculation is controlled according to the following operating logics:

❒ forced switching on (air recirculation

always on), indicated by the turning on of the led on button (C) and symbol í on the display;

❒ forced switching off (air recirculation always off

with air inlet from the outside), indicated by the turning off of the button led and êon the display.

AUTO buttons (H-N) (automatic operation)

Pressing the AUTO button (on driver and/or front passenger side) the system automatically adjusts the amount and distribution of the air admitted to the passenger compartment, cancelling all the previous manual adjustments.

This condition is indicated by the message FULL AUTO on the front system display.

Manual operation of at least one automatic function (air recirculation, air distribution, fan speed or climate control compressor off) will cause FULL message going off the display. This means that automatic control is not complete (except temperature control which is always automatic).

IMPORTANT Should the system (after manual settings) be no longer able to guarantee the required temperature set in the passenger compartment, the set temperature value will start flashing to indicate this condition, after one minute the AUTO message will turn off.

To restore automatic system control after one or more manual selections, press button AUTO.

MONO button (A) (alignment of set temperatures and air distribution)

Pressing button MONO automatically

aligns the temperature on the front passenger’s side with that on the driver’s side. It is therefore possible to set the same temperature and air distribution between the two zones simply turning the knob on the driver’s side. This function is provided to simplify temperature adjustment of the whole passenger compartment when only the driver is on board. Separate operation of the set temperatures and air distribution is automatically restored by turning knob (H) or pressing button MONO (A) again when the button led is on.

These operating conditions are obtained pressing in sequence the air recirculation button (C).

After a preset time, the climate control system will turn air recirculation off automatically for safety reasons, thus enabling outside air inlet.

IMPORTANT The air recirculation system makes it possible to reach the required heating or cooling conditions faster. It is however inadvisable to use it on rainy/cold days as it would considerably increase the possibility of the windows misting inside, especially if the climate control system is off.

When the outside temperature is below 5-7°C, air recirculation is switched off (air is taken from the outside) to prevent misting.

It is inadvisable to use the air recirculation feature with low outside temperature as the windows might mist over quickly.

Climate control compressor on/off button (B)

Press the

√

button, when the button led is on, to switch the compressor off. The led will go off. By pressing again

the button when the led is off, the system automatic control of the compressor activation is restored; this condition is indicated by button led lighting up.

When the air conditioner compressor is off, the system deactivates air recirculation to prevent window misting up. Although the system is still able to maintain the required temperature, the message FULL on the display will go off. If the system is no longer able to keep the required temperature, also the message AUTO will turn off.

IMPORTANT Air at a temperature lower than that of the outside air cannot be let into the passenger compartment when the compressor is off. Furthermore, in particular environmental conditions, the windows could mist up fast because the air is no longer dehumidified.

Setting will be stored also when the engine is stopped. Either press again button

√

(in this case the system operates as heater only) or AUTO to reset automatic control of the compressor.

With compressor off, if the outside temperature is higher than the set temperature, the system cannot reach the required temperature. This will be signalled by the flashing of set temperature value on the display for a few seconds, then the message AUTO will go off.

When the compressor is off, it is possible to reset manually the fan speed (no bar displayed).

When the compressor is on and the engine is running, fan speed cannot be lower than the minimum (one bar displayed).
