TWO-ZONE
CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
DESCRIPTION
The car is fitted with a two-zone climate
control system which makes it possible to
separately adjust the air temperatures and
air distribution 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 compen-
sate 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 para-
meters and functions:
❒ air temperature at driver/front passen-
ger vents;
❒ air distribution at driver/front passen-
ger vents;
❒ fan speed (continuous air flow varia-
tion);
❒compressor activation (to cool/ dehu-
midify air);
❒air recirculation.All the above functions can be changed
manually by selecting the required func-
tion/s and by changing the set parameters.
In this way the automatic control is de-
activated; the system will resume auto-
matic control only for safety reasons. Man-
ual selections prevail over automatic ones
and remain in storage until the user de-
cides to resume automatic control (press
button AUTO), except when the system
cuts in for particular safety conditions. The
control of functions not changed manual-
ly 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.
The temperature of the air admitted to
the passenger compartment is always con-
trolled automatically according to the tem-
peratures set on the driver’s and front
passenger’s display (except when the sys-
tem is off or under certain conditions
when the compressor is off).The following parameters and functions
can be set or changed manually:
❒ air temperatures on driver/front pas-
senger side;
❒fan speed (continuous variation);
❒air distribution on seven levels (dri-
ver/front passenger side);
❒ climate control compressor on/off en-
able;
❒monozone/two-zone distribution prior-
ity;
❒ fast demisting/defrosting;
❒ air recirculation;
❒ rear heated window;
❒system deactivation.

RAIN SENSOR (for versions/
markets, where provided)
The rain sensor is located behind the dri-
ving mirror in contact with the windscreen
and has the purpose of automatically ad-
just, during the intermittent operation, the
frequency of the windscreen wiper
strokes as to the rain intensity.
IMPORTANT Keep clean the glass in the
sensor area.
Activation
Move the right-hand stalk knurled ring to
≤fig. 37.
The activation of the rain sensor is sig-
nalled by a control acquisition “stroke”.
Through the set up menu it is possible to
increase the sensitivity of the rain sensor.
The increase of the sensitivity of the rain
sensor is signalled by a control and acqui-
sition “stroke”.
Operating the windscreen washer with
the rain sensor activated the normal wash-
ing cycle is performed at the end of which
the rain sensor resumes its normal auto-
matic function.Deactivation
Change the stalk knurled ring position
from
≤fig. 37or turn the ignition key
to STOP.
At next engine starting (key at MAR), the
sensor will not be reactivated even if the
knurled ring is still at
≤fig. 37. To ac-
tivate the rain sensor you have to move
the knurled ring from
≤to another po-
sition and then again to
≤.
Rain sensor activation will be indicated by
at least one wiper “stroke” even if the
windscreen is dry.
The rain sensor is able to recognize and
automatically adjust itself in the presence
of the following particular conditions:
❒ impurities on the controlled surface
(salt, dirt, etc.);
❒difference between day and night.
IMPORTANT Streaks of water may cause
unrequired blade moving. “Smart washing” function
Pulling the stalk towards the steering wheel
(unstable position) operates the wind-
screen washer.
Keeping the stalk pulled for more than half
a second, with just one movement it is
possible to operate the washer jet and the
wiper at the same time.
The wiper stops working three strokes af-
ter releasing the stalk.
A further stroke after 6 seconds com-
pletes the wiping operation.

Replacing standard tyres
with winter tyres and vice
versa involves T.P.M.S. system set-up
that shall be performed at Abarth
Dealerships only.
WARNING
The T.P.M.S. system requires
special equipment. Consult
Abarth Dealership to know what type
of accessories are compatible with
the system (wheels, wheel caps, etc.).
Using other accessories could cause
system malfunctioning.
WARNING
Tyre pressure could change
according to outside tem-
perature. For this reason the T.P.M.S.
system could temporarily indicate low
tyre pressure. In this event check pres-
sure with cold tyres and restore prop-
er inflation values if required.
WARNING
If the car is fitted with
T.P.M.S. system, tyre and/or
rim removal and refitting operations
involve special precautions; to pre-
vent damages or wrong sensor refit-
ting, contact Abarth Dealership to
have tyre and/or rim changed.
WARNING
If the car is fitted with
T.P.M.S. system, when chang-
ing a tyre, change also the rubber seal
of the valve. Contact a Abarth Deal-
ership.
WARNING
Strong radio-frequency nois-
es could inhibit the regular
operation of the T.P.M.S. system.
This condition will be indicated by a
message on the multfunction display
(for versions/markets, where provid-
ed). The warning message will go off
automatically as soon as the radio-
frequency noise will stop to disturb
the system.

PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
The devices for curtailing emissions are
the following:
❒ three-way catalytic converter;
❒Lambda sensor;
❒fuel evaporation system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even
for a test, with one or more spark plugs
disconnected.
Do not put naked flames or
lighted cigarettes near the
fuel filler hole as there is a danger of
fire. Do not bend too close to the hole
either so as not to breathe in harmful
vapours.
WARNING
Refuelling
To guarantee full tank filling, carry out two
refuelling operations after the first click of
the fuel delivery gun. Avoid further top-
ping up operations that could cause dam-
ages to the fuel system.
During normal service the
catalyst reaches high tem-
peratures. Do not therefore park the
car over inflammable materials (grass,
dry leaves, pine needles, etc.): fire
hazard.
