FIAT 500L LIVING 2015 2.G Owner's Manual

STOP/START SYSTEM
HANDLINGThe dual-zone automatic climate
control manages the Stop/Start system
(engine off and vehicle at a standstill)
in order to guarantee sufficient comfort
inside the vehicle.
IMPORTANT In particularly severe
climate conditions it is recommended to
limit the use of the Stop/Start system
to prevent the compressor from
continuously switching on and off, with
consequent rapid misting of the
windows and accumulation of humidity
with unpleasant smells in the passenger
compartment.
IMPORTANT When the Stop/Start
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
19)It is inadvisable to use internal air
recirculation when the outside temperature
is low, since the windows could mist up
rapidly.
WARNING
5)The climate control system detects the
passenger compartment temperature
using a mean radiant temperature sensor
located in the interior rear view mirror
and protected by a specific cover.
Obstructing the field of view of this sensor
with any object could cause the climate
control system to operate with less than
optimal efficiency.
WARNING
2)The system uses R134a coolant which
does not pollute the environment in the
event of accidental leakage. Under no
circumstances use R12 fluid, which is
incompatible with the components of the
system.

presence of rain and, consequently,
manage the cleaning of the windscreen
in accordance with the amount of
water on the screen.Activation: rotate the ring nut A fig. 26
to position
: the windscreen wiper
stroke frequency is thus adjusted in
accordance with the amount of water
on the windscreen. The activation of the
sensor is signalled by a "stroke" to
show that the command has been
acquired.
Deactivation: move the stalk ring nut
away from the position
or turn
the ignition key to STOP. If the ignition
key is turned to the STOP position
leaving the ring nut A in position
,
no wiping cycle is performed at the next
startup (ignition key to the MAR
position) even in the case of rain.

❒in synchronous mode (at half the
speed of the windscreen wiper) when
the windscreen wiper is operating;
❒in continuous mode with reverse
engaged.With the windscreen wiper on and
reverse gear engaged, rear window
wiping will be continuous in the same
way.
Pushing the stalk towards the
dashboard (unstable position) the rear
window washer jet will activate. Keep
the stalk pushed for more than half
a second to activate the rear window
wiper as well. Releasing the stalk will

intervene. If operation is not restored
(even after turning the key and restarting
the vehicle engine), contact a Fiat
Dealership.
