FIAT 500 - Manual (Page 38)

❒ it is not possible to convey air to the passenger
compartment with a temperature below the
outside temperature (the displayed temperature
value will flash when the system cannot guarantee
the required comfort conditions);
❒ the fan speed can be manually reset (with
compressor enabled, ventilation cannot go below a
bar shown on the display).
C button fig. 30 OFF - Switching off the
system
When the OFF button is pressed the system is
switched off.
With the system off, the climate control system
conditions are as follows:
❒ all LEDs off;
❒ set temperature display off;
❒ air recirculation off;
❒ compressor off;
❒ the fan is off.
In this condition, air recirculation can be turned on
or off without activating the system.
D button fig. 30 - Air recirculation on/off
It is advisable to switch the internal air recirculation
on while in queues or in tunnels to prevent the
introduction of polluted air.
LED on button ON = recirculation ON.
LED on button OFF = recirculation OFF.
At low temperatures or if the compressor is off, the
recirculation is forced to off to avoid misting.
IMPORTANT It is inadvisable to use air recirculation
on cold days as it would considerably increase the
possibility of windows misting up inside.
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

the fan speed and that shown by the display bars
