ALARM
(where provided)
The alarm function is provided in addition
to all remote control functions previous-
ly described and it is controlled by the re-
ceiver located under the dashboard, next
to the fuse box.WHEN THE ALARM
IS TRIGGERED
The alarm comes into action in the fol-
lowing cases:
❒unlawful opening of one of the doors,
bonnet or boot (perimetral protec-
tion);
❒attempt to start the engine (turning the
ignition key to MAR);
❒battery cable cutting;
❒presence of moving bodies in the pas-
senger’s compartment (volumetric pro-
tection);
❒abnormal raising/sloping of the car. Depending on the markets, the cutting in
of the alarm causes operation of the siren
and direction indicators (for about 26 sec-
onds). The ways of operating and the num-
ber of cycles may vary depending on the
markets.
A maximum number of sound/sight cycles
is however envisaged.
The volume sensing and anti-lift protec-
tions may be turned off by operating the
control on the front courtesy light (see
“Volume-sensing/anti-lift protection” para-
graph).
IMPORTANT The engine immobiliser
function is guaranteed by the Fiat CODE
system, which is automatically activated
when the ignition key is removed.

AIR RECIRCULATION
Pressing button
Tturns on this func-
tion which is shown by the turning on of
the led on the button. This function is par-
ticularly useful when the outside air is
heavily polluted (in a traffic jam, tunnel,
etc.). However, it is better not to use it
for long periods, especially if there are sev-
eral people in the car.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the re-
quired “heating” or “cooling” conditions
faster. Do not use the air recirculation
function on rainy/cold days as it would
considerably increase the possibility of the
windows misting inside.SUPPLEMENTARY HEATER
(where provided)
This device heats up the passenger com-
partment more rapidly in cold weather
conditions with the engine coolant tem-
perature very low.
The additional heater is activated auto-
matically by starting the engine, turning
knob Ato the last red sector and oper-
ating the fan (knob C) on at least first
speed.
The radiator is turned off automatically
when conditions of comfort are achieved.
IMPORTANT heater activation is pre-
vented if the battery voltage is too low.

AQS (Air Quality System)
function activation
The AQS function, (message AQS on the
display), turns on air recirculation auto-
matically when it detects the presence of
outside polluted air (for example when
driving in queues and tunnels).
IMPORTANT When the AQS function is
active, after 15 minutes of consecutive in-
ternal air recirculation, the climate con-
trol system enables outside air inlet (re-
gardless of air pollution level) for approx.
1 minute to change air inside the passen-
ger compartment. INSIDE AIR RECIRCULATION
ON/OFF AND AQS FUNCTION
(Air Quality System) BUTTON
Press button
T.
Inside air recirculation is controlled by
three operating logics:
❒automatic control, indicated by message
AQS on the display and button led
Toff;
❒forced switching off (inside air recircu-
lation always off with air inlet from out-
side), button led
Toff;
❒forced switching on (inside air recircu-
lation always on with air inlet from out-
side), button led
Ton.Pressing button OFF, the climate control
system turns on automatically the inside
air recirculation function (button led
Ton). In these conditions it is how-
ever possible to take air from the outside
(and vice versa) pressing button
T(button led off).
With button OFF pressed (button led on),
the AQS (Air Quality System) function
cannot be activated.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the re-
quired “heating” or “cooling” conditions
faster. It is however inadvisable to use it
on rainy/cold days as it would consider-
ably increase the possibility of the win-
dows misting inside, especially if the cli-
mate control system is off. It is advisable
to turn on the inside air recirculation sys-
tem in queues or tunnels to avoid admit-
ting polluted air from outside. The pro-
longed use of this function should how-
ever be avoided, especially with several
persons on board, to avoid the possibili-
ty of the windows misting inside.

WINDOW WASHING
WINDSCREEN WASHER/
WIPER fig. 49
The device can only work when the igni-
tion key is at MAR.
The stalk can be moved to five different
positions:
A: windscreen wiper off.
B: flick wipe.
With the stalk in position B, turning the
knurled ring Ffour possible intermittent
speeds are obtained:
,= very slow intermittent
■= slow intermittent.
■■= intermittent medium.
■■■= fast intermittent.
C: continuous slow;
D: continuous fast;
E: fast temporary (unstable position).Operation in position Eis limited to the
time the lever is held in this position.
When the lever is released, it returns to
position Aautomatically stopping the
wiper.
IMPORTANT When the wiper is on, en-
gaging reverse gear automatically turns on
the rear window wiper.fig. 49F0Q0645m
Never use the window wiper
to remove ice or snow from
the windscreen. In these con-
ditions, the wiper is submitted
to excessive effort that results in mo-
tor protection cutting in and wiper op-
eration inhibition for few seconds as a
consequence. If operation is not re-
stored contact Fiat Dealership.

WARNING
In the event of device mal-
function or failure, turn the
knurled ring A-fig. 54 to OFF and con-
tact a Fiat Dealership after checking
the protection fuse integrity.
WARNING
TO RESET THE
MEMORISED SPEED
If the device has been disengaged for ex-
ample pressing the brake or clutch pedal,
the memorised speed can be reset as fol-
lows:
❒accelerate gradually until reaching a
speed approaching the one memorised;
❒engage the gear selected at the time of
speed memorising (4th, 5thor 6thgear);
❒press button C-fig. 54.
TO INCREASE THE
MEMORISED SPEED
The speed memorised can be increased in
two ways:
❒pressing the accelerator and then mem-
orising the new speed reached;
or
❒turning the knurled ring B-fig. 54tem-
porarily to (+).
Each turn of the knurled ring will corre-
spond to a slight increase in speed (about
1 km/h), while keeping the knurled ring
turned will correspond to a continuous
speed increase. TO REDUCE
MEMORISED SPEED
The speed memorised can be increased in
two ways:
❒disengaging the device and then mem-
orising the new speed;
or
❒keeping the knurled ring B-fig. 54to
(–) until reaching the new speed which
will be memorised automatically.
Each turn of the knurled ring will corre-
spond to a slight reduction in speed (about
1 km/h), while keeping the knurled ring
turned will correspond to a continuous
speed reduction.DEVICE DISENGAGEMENT
Turn the knurled ring A-fig. 54to OFF
or the ignition key to STOP. The device
is automatically deactivated also in one of
the following cases:
❒pressing the brake or clutch pedal;
❒ASR or ESP cut-in (where provided);
❒changing gear on versions with a Dua-
logic gearbox (where fitted), if in Man-
ual mode
❒inadvertently moving the Dualogic gear
lever (where fitted) to position N or R.
