Manual selections will always take priority over automat-
ic settings and will be stored until the user switches the
system back to automatic operation by pressing the
AUTO button again, except for when the system inter-
venes for particular safety-related reasons. You can adjust
one function manually without affecting the automatic con-
trol of the others.
The temperature of the air introduced is always controlled
automatically, depending on the temperature set in the dis-
play (except when the system is off or in certain condi-
tions when the compressor is switched off).
The system allows the following parameters and functions
to be set or altered manually: air temperature, fan speed
(continuous variation); air distribution in seven positions;
compressor enablement; fast defrosting/demisting func-
tion; air recirculation; switching off the system.AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL
(for versions/markets, where provided)
GENERAL INFORMATION
The automatic climate control system adjusts the tem-
perature, the quantity and the distribution of the air in the
passenger compartment. The temperature control is based
on the “equivalent temperature”: in other words, the sys-
tem continuously works to keep the comfort level inside
the vehicle constant and to compensate for possible vari-
ations in outside conditions, including the solar radiation
detected by a dedicated sensor. The automatically con-
trolled parameters and functions are:
❒air temperature at the vents;
❒air distribution at the vents;
❒fan speed
(continuous air flow variation);
❒compressor activation
(to cool/dehumidify the air);
❒air recirculation.
All functions may be changed manually. In other words,
you may select one or more functions and change the pa-
rameters as required. Automatic control of the manually
changed functions will be deactivated: the system will on-
ly override your settings for safety related reasons (e.g.
risk of misting up).

❒becomes continuous when the distance between the
vehicle and the obstacle is less than about 30 cm, and
stops immediately if the distance increases;
❒remains constant if the distance between the vehicle
and the obstacle remains unchanged.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Parking sensor failures are indicated, when engaging re-
verse gear, by a three second beep.
PARKING SENSORS
These are located in the rear bumper fig. 102 and their
function is to inform the driver, through an intermittent
buzzer, about the presence of obstacles behind the
vehicle.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated when reverse gear
is engaged.
As the obstacle behind the vehicle gets closer to the
bumper, the buzzer becomes more frequent.
BUZZER
The frequency of the buzzer:
❒increases as the vehicle gets closer to the obstacle;
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is automatically disabled when
the electric cable plug of the trailer is fitted into the vehi-
cle tow hook socket.
The sensors are automatically enabled again when the trail-
er cable plug is removed.
The sensors must be clean of mud, dirt,
snow and ice in order for the system to
work. Be careful not to scratch or damage the sen-
sors while cleaning them. Avoid using dry, rough
or hard cloths. The sensors should be washed us-
ing clean water with the addition of car sham-
poo if necessary. When using special washing
equipment such as high pressure jets or steam
cleaning, clean the sensors very quickly keeping
the jet more than 10 cm away.
WARNING

F0V0040mfig. 103
START&STOP SYSTEM
FOREWORD
The Start&Stop device automatically stops the engine each
time the vehicle is stationary and starts it again when the
driver wants to move off.
This improves the efficiency of the vehicle by reducing fu-
el consumption, the emission of harmful gases and noise
pollution.
The system is activated each time the vehicle is started.
OPERATING MODES
Engine cut-out mode
WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION
With the vehicle stationary, the engine cuts out with the
gearbox in neutral and the clutch pedal released.

GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, pay special attention to obstacles that
may be set above or below the sensors.
❒Sometimes, objects located very near the rear of the
vehicle are not detected and could therefore damage
the vehicle or be damaged themselves.
❒The signals sent out by the sensors can be altered by
dirt, snow or ice deposited on the sensors or by ul-
trasound systems (e.g. truck pneumatic brakes or pneu-
matic drills) near the vehicle.
❒The parking sensors work properly with the swing
doors closed. If they are open, they can cause the sys-
tem to send false signals: always close the rear doors.
The ultimate responsibility when parking
and carrying out other dangerous ma-
noeuvres still rests with the driver. When park-
ing, make sure that no-one is standing in the area,
especially children or animals. Parking sensors are
designed to assist drivers; however, you must al-
ways concentrate fully during potentially danger-
ous manoeuvres, even if carried out at low speeds.

ENERGY SAVING FUNCTION
(for versions/markets where provided)
If, after the engine has been automatically restarted, the
driver does not take any action for a period of about 3 min-
utes, the Start&Stop system will definitively stop the en-
gine to avoid fuel consumption. The engine can only be
started using the key in such cases.
N.B.: In any case, it is possible to keep the engine running
by deactivating the Start&Stop system.
OPERATING IRREGULARITIES
In the case of malfunctions the Start&Stop system is dis-
abled. The driver is informed of the problem by the gen-
eral failure warning light A-fig. 105, where provided, com-
ing on with an information message and the system fail-
ure symbol B-fig. 105 in the control panel.
In this case, contact the Fiat Service Network. VEHICLE INACTIVITY
Versions with dummy pole fig. 106
If the vehicle is inactive, special care must be taken to dis-
connect the battery electrical power supply. This proce-
dure is carried out by disconnecting the rapid release neg-
ative terminal A from the negative false pole B because
there is a battery status monitoring sensor D at the neg-
ative battery pole C which should never be disconnected
except if the actual battery is replaced.

EMERGENCY STARTING fig. 107
When jump starting, never connect the negative lead ( –)
of the auxiliary battery to the negative pole C of the ve-
hicle battery, but rather to either the false pole B or to
an engine/gearbox earth point.
WARNINGS
When replacing the battery, always go to
the Fiat Service Network. Replace the bat-
tery using a new one of the same type and spec-
ifications.
WARNING
Before opening the bonnet, make sure
that the vehicle is switched off and the key
is in the OFF position. Follow the instructions on
the dedicated plate on the front crossmember. It
is advisable to extract the key when there are oth-
er people in the vehicle.
WARNING
F0V0218mfig. 106a
Versions without dummy pole fig. 106a
In case of car inactivity, special attention must be paid due
to the disconnection of the battery power supply. Proceed
as follows: detach the connector (by pressing button B) from
sensor C for monitoring the battery status installed on the
battery negative pole D. This sensor should never be dis-
connected from the pole except if the battery is replaced.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The devices for reducing petrol engine emissions are the
following:
❒three-way catalytic converter;
❒Lambda sensors;
❒evaporation prevention system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even for a test, with
one or more spark plugs disconnected.
The following devices are used for reducing diesel fuel en-
gine emissions:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR);
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF) (for versions/markets
where provided).
To close
1) Fit the cap (complete with key) and turn it clockwise
until it clicks once or more.
2) Turn the key clockwise and extract it, then close the
flap.
The hermetic seal may cause a slight increase in pressure
in the tank. A suction noise when you release the cap is
therefore entirely normal.
Do not place naked flames or lit cigarettes
near to the fuel tank opening: fire risk. Keep
your face away from the fuel tank open-
ing to avoid breathing in harmful vapours.
