Values displayed
Outside temperature
Indicates the temperature outside the vehicle passenger
compartment.
Range
This indicates the approximate distance that may be trav-
elled with the fuel remaining in the tank, assuming that dri-
ving conditions do not change. The display will show the
reading “----” when the following events take place:
– value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– car left parked with engine running for a long time.
Distance travelled
This value shows the distance covered from the start of
the new journey.

This value shows the approximate average fuel consump-
tion from the start of the new journey.

dated. The message “----” will appear on the display if the
car is parked with the engine running.
Average speed
This value shows the car’s average speed based on the
overall time elapsed since the start of the new journey.TRIP COMPUTER
Introduction
The Trip computer is used to display information on car
operation when the key is turned to MAR. This function
allows you to define two separate trips, called “Trip A”
and “Trip B”, for monitoring the car’s “complete mission”
(journey) in a reciprocally independent manner.
Both functions can be reset (reset – start of a new jour-
ney).
“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
– Outside temperature
– Range
– Distance travelled
– Average consumption
– Current consumption
– Average speed
– Journey time (driving time).
“Trip B”, available on multifunction display only, is used to
display the figures relating to:
– Distance travelled B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Travel time B (driving time).
NB“Trip B” functions may be excluded (see “Trip B on”).
“Range” and “Instant consumption” parameters cannot be
reset.

side temperature above 4°C);
❒switching off, if previously on, of the interior air recir-
culation (the LED on button
Tshould be off);
❒switching on of heated rear windscreen (the LED on

RECIRCULATION AND ENABLEMENT
OF AQS FUNCTION (Air Quality System)
Press button
T.
Air recirculation is carried out according to three possi-
ble operating modes:
❒automatic control, signalled by the AQS sign on the dis-
play and the LED on button
Tbeing off;
❒permanently off (air recirculation always off with intro-
duction of external air), indicated by the LED on but-
ton
Tbeing off;
❒permanently on (air recirculation always on), signalled
by the LED on button
Tbeing lit up.
When OFF is pressed, the climate control system automatically
activates air recirculation (the LED on button
Tshould be
on). It is still possible to activate outside air recirculation (LED on
the button is off) and vice versa, by pressing button
T.
With the OFF button pressed (LED on the button is lit
up), it is not possible to enable the AQS (Air Quality Sys-
tem) function.
IMPORTANT The air recirculation system makes it pos-
sible to reach the required heating or cooling conditions
faster. It is not advisable to switch the air recirculation
on when it is rainy/cold or the windows might mist up, es-
pecially if the climate control is not turned on. It is advis-
able to switch the internal air internal recirculation on
while standing in queues or in tunnels to prevent the in-
troduction of polluted air. Do not use the function for
a long time, particularly if there are many passengers on
board, to prevent the windows from misting up.

“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel (temporary po-
sition) to operate the windscreen 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 after releasing the
stalk. A further stroke 6 seconds later completes the wip-
ing operation.RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets where provided)
The rain sensor is located behind the rear-view mirror in
contact with the windscreen and has the purpose of au-
tomatically adjusting the frequency of the windscreen wiper
strokes depending on the intensity of the rain during in-
termittent operation.
IMPORTANT Keep the glass in the sensor area clean.
Activation
Move the twist switch on the right-hand stalk to
≤fig.
51. The activation of the sensor is signalled by a wiper
stroke. Through the setup menu it is possible to increase
the sensitivity of the rain sensor. The increasing of the rain
sensor sensitivity is also signalled by a stroke of the wipers.
If the windscreen washer is used with the rain sensor ac-
tivated, the normal washing cycle is performed, after which
the rain sensor resumes its normal automatic operation.
Deactivation
Move the stalk twist switch away from
≤fig. 51 or turn
the ignition key to STOP. When the engine is next start-
ed (key at MAR), the sensor will not be reactivated even
if the twist switch is still at
≤fig. 51. To activate the rain
sensor, you have to move the twist switch from
≤to an-
other position and then back to
≤. Rain sensor activa-
tion will be indicated by at least one wiper stroke, even if
the windscreen is dry.

Do not use the windscreen wipers to re-
move layers of snow or ice from the wind-
screen. In such conditions, the windscreen
wipers may be subjected to excessive stress,
prompting intervention from the motor protection
which prevents operation for a few seconds. If op-
eration is not restored, even after turning the key
and restarting the engine, go to a Fiat Dealership.
When released, the stalk returns to its default position and
the wipers automatically switch off.
With the twist switch at
≤, the windscreen wiper will
automatically adapt to the speed of the car.
IMPORTANT Replace the wiper blades as specified in the
“Maintenance and care” section.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
(for versions/markets where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter, inte-
gral to the exhaust system, that physically traps particu-
lates present in the exhaust gases of diesel engines.
It is needed to eliminate almost all particulates in compli-
ance with current/future legislation.
During normal use of the vehicle, the engine control unit
records a set of data (e.g. travel time, type of route, tem-
peratures, etc.) and it will then calculate how much par-
ticulate has been trapped by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps particulate, it should be re-
generated (cleaned) at regular intervals by burning the car-
bon particles.
The regeneration procedure is handled automatically by
the engine control unit according to the filter conditions
and vehicle use conditions.
During regeneration, the following may occur: a limited in-
crease in the engine speed, activation of the fan, a limited
increase in fumes and high temperatures at the exhaust.
These are not faults; they do not impair vehicle perfor-
mance or damage the environment.
If the dedicated message is displayed, refer to the “Warn-
ing lights and messages” section.
The diesel particulate filter (DPF) (for ver-
sions/markets where required) reaches
high temperatures during normal operation.
Therefore do not therefore park the vehicle on in-
flammable materials (grass, dry leaves, pine nee-
dles, etc.): fire hazard.
WARNING
The catalytic converter also reaches high
temperatures during normal operation.
Do not park the vehicle on grass, dry leaves, pine
needles or other flammable material: fire hazard.
