WARNING
2)If the ignition device is tampered with
(e.g.: attempted theft), have it checked
over by a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
3)When getting out of the vehicle, always
take the key with you to prevent any
occupants from accidentally activating the
controls. Remember to engage the electric
parking brake. Never leave children
unattended in the vehicle.4)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any
after-market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifications
(e.g.: installation of anti-theft device).
This could badly affect performance and
safety, invalidate the warranty and also
result in the non-compliance of the vehicle
with type-approval requirements.
5)Never remove the key without remote
control while the vehicle is moving. The
steering wheel will automatically lock as
soon as it is turned. This also applies
to cases in which the vehicle is towed.
6)Before exiting the vehicle, ALWAYS
engage the parking brake, steer the
wheels, engage the first gear if uphill and
the reverse if downhill. On versions with
automatic transmission, bring the gear
lever to P (Park) and press the ignition
device to bring it to STOP. If the vehicle is
parked on a steep slope, chock the wheels
with wedges or stones. When leaving the
vehicle, always lock all the doors by
pressing the dedicated button on the
handle (see "Keyless Entry" in the "Doors"
paragraph).
7)On versions equipped with Full Keyless
system, do not leave the electronic key
inside or near the vehicle or in a place
accessible to children. Do not leave the
vehicle with the ignition device in the MAR
position. A child could operate the electric
windows, other controls or even start
the vehicle.

Ring nut A fig. 31 can be set to the
following positions:
windscreen wiper offslow intermittent operationfast intermittent operation
LOW
slow continuous operation
HIGH
fast continuous operation.Move the stalk upwards (unstable
position) to activate the MIST function:
operation is limited to the time for which
the stalk is held in this position. When
released, the stalk will return to its
default position and the windscreen
wiper will be stopped. This function is
useful to remove small deposits of dust
from the windscreen, or morning dew.
IMPORTANT This function does not
activate the windscreen washer;
windscreen washer fluid will not
therefore be sprayed onto the
windscreen. To spray windscreen
washer fluid onto the windscreen, the
washing function must be used.
With ring nut A fig. 31 in
or
position, the windscreen wiper
will automatically adapt its operating
speed to the speed of the vehicle.
"Smart washing" functionPull the lever towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) to operate the
windscreen washer.
Keep the stalk pulled to activate both
the windscreen washer jet and the
windscreen wiper with a single
movement; the latter turns on
automatically.The windscreen wiper stops working
three strokes after the stalk is released.
The cycle is completed, after about 6
seconds, by a final cleaning stroke
of the windscreen wipers.
RAIN SENSOR(where provided)
This is located behind the interior rear
view mirror, in contact with the
windscreen fig. 32 and can detect the
presence of rain and, consequently,
manage the cleaning of the windscreen
in accordance with the amount of
water on the screen.Activation

after about 6 seconds, by a final
cleaning stroke of the rear window
wiper.
WARNING
20)If the window needs to be cleaned,
make sure the device is deactivated or the
ignition button and the key are on STOP.
WARNING
7)Do not use the windscreen wiper to
remove layers of snow or ice from the
windscreen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wiper may be subjected to
excessive stress and the motor cut-out
switch, which prevents operation for a few
seconds, may intervene. If operation is
not subsequently restored, even after the
vehicle is restarted, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
8)Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with blades lifted from the windscreen.
9)Do not activate the rain sensor while
washing the vehicle in an automatic
washing system.

F - Heated rear window on/off button;
Selecting the windscreen air distribution activates the climate control system compressor (LED on A/C button on) and the air
recirculation is set to "outside air" (LED on button B off). This logic guarantees optimum visibility at the windows. The driver can
always set air recirculation and climate control system compressor.
Additional heater(where provided)
The additional heater ensures more rapid passenger compartment heating.
It activates in cold weather conditions, if the following conditions are verified:
❒outside temperature low;
❒engine coolant temperature low;
❒engine started;
❒fan speed set at least to 1
stspeed;
❒knob C turned completely clockwise to red section.

Air distribution selection
Air flow to the windscreen and front side window diffusers to demist/defrost them.Air flow at central and side dashboard vents to ventilate the chest and the face during the hot season.Air flow to the front and rear footwell diffusers. This air distribution setting heats the passenger compartment most quickly,
giving a prompt sensation of warmth.+
Air flow distributed between footwell diffusers (hotter air) and central and side dashboard vents (cooler air). This
distribution setting is useful in spring and autumn on sunny days.
+
Air flow distributed between footwell vents and windscreen and front side vents. This distribution setting allows the
passenger compartment to be warmed up efficiently and prevents the windows from misting up.
+
Air flow distributed between central and side dashboard vents and windscreen and front side window vents. This
distribution allows air to be sent to the windscreen in conditions of strong sunlight.
+
+
Air flow distribution to all diffusers on the vehicle.
In AUTO mode, the climate control system automatically manages air distribution (the LEDs on buttons H are off). When set
manually, the air distribution is indicated by the LEDs on the selected buttons switching on. In combined function mode the
relevant function is enabled simultaneously with those already set by pressing the corresponding button. If a button whose
function is already active is pressed, its operation is cancelled and the corresponding LED switches off. To restore automatic
control of the air distribution after a manual selection, press the AUTO button.
Start&StopThe automatic dual zone climate control system manages the Start&Stop system (engine off when vehicle speed is 0 km/h) to
ensure adequate comfort inside the vehicle. When the Start&Stop system is on (engine off and vehicle at a standstill), the
automatic recirculation management is turned off always taking air in from outside, to reduce the probability of the windows
misting up (as the compressor is off).
WARNING
2)The system uses R1234YF coolant, which does not pollute the environment in the event of accidental leakage. Under no circumstances
use R134a and R12 fluids, which are incompatible with the components of the system.

Front window anti-pinch safety
device(where provided)
This safety system can recognise the
presence of any obstacle during the
window closing movement. If this
occurs, the system stops the window's
movement and reverts it, depending
on its position. The window then lowers
by about 5 cm in relation to the first
stop position. The window cannot be
operated in any way during this time.Electric window system
