To store the required mirror position
proceed as follows:
❒engage reverse with car stopped and
ignition key to ON;
❒turn selector B(to select the passen-
ger door mirror);
❒use selector Cto adjust the passenger
door mirror as required to obtain best
position for parking manoeuvres;
❒keep one of the seat storing/recalling
buttons pressed for 3 seconds at least;
Together with the passenger door mirror
“parking” position, also the driver seat and
door mirror positions will be stored.
The sound of a buzzer confirms that the
mirror position has been stored.Recalling the “parking” position of
the passenger door mirror
To recall automatically the “parking” po-
sition of the passenger door mirror, pro-
ceed as follows:
❒engage reverse with car stopped and
ignition key to ON;
❒turn selector Bto select the passen-
ger door mirror; the mirror will set
automatically to the previously stored
position.
If no parking position has been stored,
when engaging reverse the passenger door
mirror will slightly lower to aid the dri-
ver during parking.
The mirror will automatically return to its
original position in the following cases:
❒10 seconds after disengaging reverse;
❒when the car speed exceeds 10 km/h
in forward gear ;
❒when turning selector Bto neutral po-
sition or to driver mirror position.IMPORTANT “Parking” position can on-
ly be stored or recalled with ignition key
at ON.
Automatic door mirror
realignment
Each time the ignition key is turned to
ON, door mirrors return automatically to
the last position set and/or recalled at last
removal of the electronic key.
This enables mirror alignment if when
leaving the car parked one of the door
mirrors has been moved manually and/or
accidentally.

Window demisting
In the event of considerable outside mois-
ture and/or rain and/or considerable dif-
ferences in temperature inside and out-
side the passenger compartment, perform
the following preventive demisting proce-
dure:
❒turn air recirculation off by pressing
button G(button led off);
❒turn knob Cto red sector;
❒turn knob Eto 2;
❒turn knob Ato y, or to ™the win-
dows do not demist.
IMPORTANT Climate control system is
very useful to speed up window demist-
ing: therefore, just perform demisting as
previously described and turn the climate
control system on by pressing button B.HEATED REAR WINDOW AND
DOOR MIRROR DEMISTING/
DEFROSTING
Press button Fto start this function.
This function is timed and switches off au-
tomatically after 30 minutes. To cut out
this function press again button
O.
IMPORTANT Do not apply stickers on
the inside of the rear window over the
heating filaments to avoid damage that
might cause it to stop working properly.
FAN SPEED ADJUSTMENT
To ventilate the passenger’s compartment
properly, proceed as follows:
❒open completely central vents and side
outlets;
❒turn knob Cto the blue sector;
❒turn knob Eto the required speed;
❒turn air recirculation off by pressing
button G(button led off);
❒turn knob Ato O.RECIRCULATION
Turn this function on by pressing button
G(button led on).
This function is particularly useful when
the outside air is heavily polluted (in a traf-
fic jam, tunnel, etc.). However, it is bet-
ter not to use it for long periods, espe-
cially if there are several people in the car
to prevent window misting.
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.

During winter, the climate control system
must be turned on at least once a month
for about 10 minutes. Before summer,
have the system checked at a Fiat Deal-
ership.
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
(where provided)
GENERAL
The car is fitted with a two-zone climate
control system which makes it possible to
separately adjust the air temperature 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 con-
stant the comfort inside the passenger
compartment and to compensate any vari-
ation of the outside climate conditions, in-
cluding sunshine detected by a proper sen-
sor provided for the purpose.
The system is also fitted with AQS (Air
Quality System) sensor that turns on air
recirculation automatically when it detects
the presence of outside polluted air (for
example when driving in the city, queues
and tunnels).

DASHBOARD
AND CONTROLS
The climate control system automatically
controls and adjusts the following para-
meters and functions:
❒air temperature at driver/front pas-
senger/rear passenger 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 (e.g.
risk of window misting up).
Manual selections prevail over automatic
ones and remain in storage until the user
decides to resume automatic control by
pressing the proper button, except when
the system cuts in for particular safety
conditions.
The control of functions not changed man-
ually remains automatic.
The amount of air admitted to the pas-
senger compartment does not depend on
the car speed, since it is electronically con-
trolled 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;
❒monozone/two-zone distribution pri-
ority;
❒fast demisting/defrosting;
❒air recirculation;
❒rear heated window.
