IMPORTANT If the mirrors are
folded electrically, they should be
returned to the open position
electrically: do not try to return the
mirrors manually to driving position.
Manual folding
To fold the mirrors manually, move
them from position 1 fig. 41 to
position 2. If the mirrors are folded
manually, they can be returned
to the open position both manually
and electrically.
IMPORTANT To bring the mirrors
electrically to open position, press
point 2 of the rocker button A
fig. 42 until an engagement “click”
is heard, then press point 1 of
the button again.
Folding forwards
The mirrors can be manually folded
forwards (position 3 fig. 41) or
brought to open position 2 again
manually if they have been
accidentally rotated forwards (for
example due to an impact).If the mirrors have been rotated
forwards manually or due to an
impact, they can be returned to the
opening position both manually
and electrically.
To bring the mirrors electrically to
open position, press point 2 of the
rocker button A fig. 42 until an
engagement “click” is heard, then
press point 1 of the button again.
IMPORTANT If the mirrors have
been manually folded to position 3
fig. 41 by mistake, the mirror moves
to an intermediate position. In this
case, manually rotate the mirror
to position 1, then press point 2 of
the rocker button A fig. 42 to return
the mirror to position 2 until a
“click” is heard, then press point 1
of the button to bring it back to
position 1.
Defrosting/demisting
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
The mirrors are fitted with resistors
that operate when the heated
rear window is activated (by
pressing the
button).IMPORTANT This function is timed
and will turn off automatically after
several minutes.
WARNING
19) As the driver's exterior mirror is
curved, it may slightly alter the
perception of distance of the
reflected image. Further,
the reflective surface of the lower
part of the exterior mirrors is
parabolic to increase the field of
view. The reflected image size
is thus reduced and gives the
impression that the reflected item
is further away than it actually
is.
20) When driving the mirrors should
always remain in position 1.

These operating conditions are
obtained by pressing air
recirculation button G in sequence.
IMPORTANT The engagement of
the air recirculation system makes it
possible to reach the required
heating or cooling conditions faster.
It is however inadvisable to use it
on rainy/cold days as it would
considerably increase the possibility
of the windows misting inside,
especially if the climate control
compressor is off.
To prevent the windows from
misting up, the recirculation is
forced off (i.e. air is drawn in from
the outside) when the outside
temperature is cold.
It is advisable not to use the air
recirculation function when the
outside temperature is low to
prevent the windows from rapidly
misting up.Climate control

(F)
Press button
to switch the
climate control compressor off (if
on). The icon on the display will go
out.
Press the button when the LED is
off to restore automatic system
control of compressor activation.
The icon will light up on the display.
The system will switch recirculation
off when the compressor is
switched off to prevent windows
from misting up. Although the
system is capable of maintaining
the required temperature, the word
FULL will disappear from the
display. If, on the other hand, it is
no longer capable of maintaining
the temperature, the letters flash
and the word AUTO goes out.
IMPORTANT With the compressor
off, it is not possible to introduce air
cooler than ambient temperature
into the passenger compartment.
Furthermore, in certain conditions,
the windows could mist up rapidly
because the air is not dehumidified.The system remembers that the
compressor has been switched off,
even after the engine has stopped.
To restore automatic compressor
control, press thebutton again
(in this case, the system will only
work as a heater) or press the
AUTO button.
With the compressor switched off,
if the outside temperature is higher
than the one set, the system is
not capable of satisfying this
request. This is signalled by the
target temperature flashing, after
which the word AUTO goes out.
With the climate control
compressor off, the fan speed can
be set to zero manually (no bar
shown).
With the compressor enabled and
the engine started, the fan speed
may be reduced to the minimum
setting (only one bar shown).

In both cases, the heating warning
light, the display lighting and the
passenger compartment heater fan
go off and burning stops.The fluid circulation pump
continues to work for around two
minutes to dissipate as much
heat as possible; the heater can be
turned back on during this stage.
22)
IMPORTANT The parking heater
goes off when battery voltage is low
to allow the vehicle to be started.
IMPORTANT Before turning on the
device, ensure that the fuel level
is above the reserve. Otherwise the
device could lock and require the
assistance of a Fiat Dealership.
❒Always turn off the heater when
refuelling and near service stations to
avoid the risk of explosion or fire
hazards.
❒Do not park the vehicle on
inflammable material such as paper,
grass or dry leaves: fire hazard!
❒The temperature near the heater
should not exceed 120°C (e.g. during
oven painting in a body shop). The
electronic control unit components
may be damaged at higher
temperatures.❒Whilst the heater is operating with the
engine switched off, it absorbs
energy from the battery; the engine
should therefore be left running
for a while to make sure that the
battery is properly recharged.
❒To check the coolant level, follow the
instructions in the "Vehicle
maintenance" chapter, "Engine
coolant system fluid" paragraph. The
water in the heating circuit must
contain a minimum percentage of
10% antifreeze.
❒For maintenance and repairs, consult
only a Fiat Dealership and use only
original parts.MAINTENANCE
Have the additional heater checked
regularly at a Fiat Dealership (and
always at the start of every winter).
This will guarantee safe and
economic operation of the heater
as well as a long duration.

WARNING
21) The heater burns fuel in the
same way as the engine, though
to a lesser extent. To prevent
poisoning and asphyxiation, the
additional heater must never
be turned on, not even for short
periods, in closed environments
such as a garage or workshops
without extraction fans for the
exhaust gases.22) The heater burns fuel in the
