Air recirculation and AQS function
on/off button A
If the AQSsensor is not fitted, air recir-
culation works according to the following
operating logics:
❒forced switching on (inside air recir-
culation always on), indicated by sym-
bol íon the display;
❒forced switching off (air recirculation
always off with air inlet from the out-
side), indicated by symbol
êon the
display.
The above operating conditions are ob-
tained by pressing in sequence the air re-
circulation button A.
Due to safety reasons, after long recircu-
lation activation (over 25 minutes), the
system will deactivate automatically air re-
circulation for 60 seconds to enable out-
side air inlet.
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 considerably in-
crease the possibility of the windows mist-
ing inside, especially if the climate control
system is off.
When outside temperature is below 3°C,
recirculation is forced to off (outside air
inlet) to prevent window misting up.
It will be reactivated automatically if out-
side temperature becomes higher than 5
°C.
The AQSsensor (Air Quality System) in
addition to the above operating logics, en-
ables to control recirculation automati-
cally according to the quality of outside air:
❒automatic control indicated by symbol
≥on the display.
In this event the display will show symbol
ïor ñaccording to actual recircu-
lation operating conditions (on or off).
In automatic operation with AQS,inside
air recirculation is turned on automatical-
ly when the antipollution sensor detectsthe presence of polluted air, for example
when driving in the city, queues and tun-
nels.
With compressor on, in order to prevent
polluted air (exhaust gas) inlet at stops, the
system will stop air recirculation when the
car speed falls below 6 km/h. As the car
speed increases (over 25 km/h), the sys-
tem will restore the previous automatic
operating conditions.
In automatic operation, AQSis deacti-
vated when outside temperature is below
3°C, the system will activate air recircu-
lation (indicated by symbol ≥on the
display). The user can however set it man-
ually by operating in rolling mode the reir-
culation button: pressing the button for
the first time will display the current re-
circulation condition, indicated by symbol
ê.
It will be reactivated automatically if out-
side temperature becomes higher than 5
°C.
Press the button again to select the re-
quired recirculation condition, indicated
by the corresponding symbol on the dis-
play. Under these conditions manual ac-
tivation of the AQSfunction could cause
window misting up.
When air recirculation is set manually,
wording FULLwill turn off and A will dis-
appear from the recirculation symbol on
the display.
It is inadvisable to use the in-
side air recirculation func-
tion with low outside temperature as
windows may mist over quickly.

riod of time.
Activation fig. 60
With the ignition key at OFFor removed,
pull the stalk towards the steering wheel
and operate it within 2 minutes from when
the engine is turned off.
At each single movement of the stalk, the
staying on of the lights is extended by 30
seconds up to a maximum of 210 seconds;
then the lights are switched off automati-
cally. Each time the stalk is operated, the 3
warning light turns on together with the
message on the display (see section
“Warning lights and messages”). The
warning light will come on the first time
the stalk is operated and it will stay on un-
til the function is automatically deactivat-
ed. Each single movement of the stalk will
only extend the staying on of the lights.
Deactivation
Keep the stalk pulled towards the steer-
ing wheel for more than 2 seconds.
AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS
SENSOR (daylight sensor)
(where provided)
It detects the changes of the external light
intensity of the car according to the light
sensitivity set: the greater the sensitivity
is, the smaller the amount of external light
necessary to control the switching-on of
the external headlights will be. The day-
light sensor sensitivity can be adjusted by
the “Set-up menu” of the display.

Activation fig. 61
Turn the knurled ring to
2A:in this way,
the automatic activation of the side/tail-
lights and dipped beam headlights is si-
multaneously enabled according to the ex-
ternal luminosity.
Deactivation
As a result of the sensor control, the
dipped beam headlights will switch off and,
after about 10 seconds, sidelights will
switch off too.
The sensor is not able to detect the fog
presence, lights shall therefore be
switched on manually.

RAIN SENSOR (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 fig. 64
Move the right-hand stalk downwards by
one position (B).
The activation of the rain sensor is sig-
nalled by a control acquisition “stroke”.
Turning the knurled ring Fit 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 “cycle”.
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 fig. 64
Move the stalk off Bor turn the ignition
key to OFF.
At next engine starting (key at ON), the
sensor will not be reactivated even if the
stalk is at B. In this event, to activate the
rain sensor you have to move the stalk
to Aor Cand then again to Bor turn the
knurled ring.
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 NOTES ABOUT
THE T.P.M.S. SYSTEM
Failure indications will not be stored and
therefore will not be displayed when turn-
ing the engine off and on again. If failure
persists, the control unit will send warn-
ing indications to the instrument panel on-
ly after a few seconds when the car is
moving.
IMPORTANT T.P.M.S. system cannot in-
dicate sudden tyre pressure drops (e.g.:
tyre burst). In this event, brake the car
cautiously and avoid sudden steering.
IMPORTANT Replacing standard tyres
with winter tyres and vice versa involves
T.P.M.S. system set-up that shall be per-
formed at Fiat Dealerships only.
IMPORTANT The T.P.M.S. system re-
quires special equipment. Consult Fiat
Dealership to know what type of acces-
sories are compatible with the system
(wheels, wheel caps, etc.). Using other ac-
cessories could cause system malfunc-
tioning.IMPORTANT Tyre pressure could change
according to outside temperature. For this
reason the T.P.M.S. system could tem-
porarily indicate low tyre pressure. In this
event check pressure with cold tyres and
restore proper inflation values if required.
IMPORTANT If the car is fitted with
T.P.M.S. system, tyre and/or rim removal
and refitting operations involve special
precautions; to prevent damages or wrong
sensor refitting, contact Fiat Dealership to
have tyre and/or rim changed.
IMPORTANT If the car is fitted with
T.P.M.S. system, when changing a tyre,
change also the rubber seal of the valve.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Strong radiofrequency
noise may inhibit regular TPMS system op-
eration; in this event, a dedicated message
will be displayed to warn the driver. This
message will disappear automatically as
soon as noise disappears.SOUND SYSTEM
(where provided)
For the operation of the radio with
CD/MP3 CD (where provided), read the
instructions for use given in the Supple-
ment attached to the Owner Handbook.
SOUND SYSTEM
(where provided)
The system includes:
❒2 tweeters (power 40W max. each),
located on front doors;
❒2 mid-woofers, (diameter 165 mm,

PARKING SENSORS
(where provided)
Parking sensors are located in the rear
bumper fig. 127and their function is to
inform the driver, through an intermittent
buzzer, about the presence of obstacles
behind the car.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated
when the reverse gear is engaged.
As the distance from the obstacle behind
the car decreases, the acoustic alarm be-
comes more frequent.
BUZZER WARNINGS
When the reverse gear is engaged an in-
termittent acoustic signal is automatically
activated.
The acoustic signal:
❒becomes louder as the reduction of
distance between the car and the ob-
stacle decreases;
❒becomes continuous when the dis-
tance between the car and the obsta-
cle is less that 30 cm and stops imme-
diately if the distance raises;
❒is constant if the distance is unvaried.
If this situation takes place for side sen-
sors, the signal is stopped after about
3 seconds to prevent sound indica-
tions when performing manoeuvres
near walls.
Direction distances
Central action radius 150 cm
Side action radius 60 cm
If several obstacles are detected, the con-
trol unit indicates the nearest one.

RADIO TRANSMITTERS
AND CELLULAR TELEPHONES
Radio transceiver equipment (e.g.: mobile
phones, HAM radio systems and the like)
shall not be used inside the vehicle unless
a separate aerial is mounted on the roof.
IMPORTANT The use of similar devices
inside the passenger compartment (with-
out separated aerial) produces radio-fre-
quency electromagnetic fields which, am-
plified by the resonance effects inside the
passenger compartment, may cause elec-
trical systems equipping the vehicle to mal-
function. This could compromise safety in
addition to constituting a potential hazard
for the passengers.
In addition, transmission and reception of
these devices may be affected by the
shielding effect of the vehicle body.
As concerns , approved mobile phones
(GSM, GPRS, UMTS), strictly comply with
the instructions for use provided by the
mobile phone’s manufacturer.

GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, take the utmost care
to obstacles that may be set above or
under the sensors.
❒Objects set close to the car, under
certain circumstances are not detect-
ed and could therefore cause damages
to the car or be damaged.
❒Indications sent by the sensors can be
altered by dirt, snow or ice deposit-
ed on the sensors or by ultrasound
systems (e.g.: truck pneumatic brakes
or pneumatic hammers) set nearby the
car. For proper operation, the
parking sensors shall always
be clean from mud, dirt, snow
or ice. When cleaning the sen-
sors, take the utmost care to prevent
their damaging; do not use therefore
dry or rough clothes. Sensors shall be
washed with clean water and car de-
tergent, if required.
Parking manoeuvres howev-
er are always under the dri-
ver’s responsibility that shall always
check the absence of people (spe-
cially children) or animals in the ma-
noeuvre space. This system is just a
help for the driver but she/he shall
never reduce attention during dan-
gerous manoeuvres even if performed
at low speed.
WARNING
FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of sensor failures, the driver
is warned by the turning on of warning
light
èon the instrument panel and by
the relevant message on the display (see
section “Warning lights and messages”).
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is deactivated
automatically when the trailer electric ca-
ble plug is fitted into the car tow hook
socket.
