In-depth knowledge of your new vehicle
starts here.
The handbook that you are reading
simply and directly explains how it is
made and how it works.
That’s why we advise you to read it
seated comfortably on board, so that
you can see immediately what is
described here for yourself.KEYS....................13

not freeze in the washer reservoir.
Failure to do so could result in loss of
washer function and frost damage to
the system components.
WARNING
63)Do not use the screen wiper to remove
layers of snow or ice from the windscreen.
In such conditions, the windscreen wiper
may be subjected to excessive stress and
the motor cut-out switch, which prevents
operation for a few seconds, may
intervene. If operation is not restored,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
64)Streaks of water may cause
unnecessary blade movements.
65)If the washer is used in cold weather,
the washer fluid sprayed against the glass
may freeze, which may hinder visibility.
Warm the glass with the defroster or rear
window demister before using the washer.
66)With the ignition switch or the
operation mode in ON and the lever in the
“AUTO” position, the wipers may
automatically operate in the situations
described below. If your hands get
trapped, you could suffer injuries or the
wipers could malfunction. Be sure to turn
the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position
or put the operation mode in OFF, or move
lever to the “OFF” position to deactivate
the rain sensor: when cleaning the outside
surface of the windscreen, if you touch or
wipe with a cloth on top of the rain sensor;
when using an automatic car wash; when a
physical shock is applied to the windscreen
or to the rain sensor.
IMPORTANT
21)Do not activate the rain sensor when
washing the car in an automatic car wash.

Ventilators
1 — Centre ventilators
2 — Side ventilators
NOTE Do not place beverages on top
of the instrument panel. If they splash
into the air conditioning ventilators, they
could damage the system.
Air flow and direction adjustments
Centre ventilators
Move the knob (1) to adjust the air flow
direction.
To close the vent, move the knob (1) to
the inside as far as possible.

Side ventilators
Move the knob (1) to adjust the air flow
direction.
To close the vent, move the knob (1) to
the outside as far as possible.
A — Close
B — OpenNOTE On vehicles with air conditioning,
the cool air from the ventilators may
appear as a mist. This is due to moist
air being suddenly cooled by the air
conditioning. This will clear after a few
moments.
NOTE Be careful not to spill beverages,
etc., into the ventilators. Doing so might
cause the air conditioner not to function
normally.

The next several illustrations show the
different quantity of air coming from the
ventilators.

temperature is low, the temperature of
the air from the heater will be cool/cold
until the engine warms up, even if you
have selected warm air with the dial.Mode selection dial
To change the position of air flowing
from the ventilators, turn the mode
selection dial (refer to “Mode selection”).

To change the air selection, use the air
selection lever.
Outside air is introduced into
the passenger compartment.
Recirculated air is recirculated
inside the passenger compartment.

NOTE Normally, use the(outside)
position to keep the windscreen and
side windows clear and quickly remove
fog or frost from the windscreen. If high
cooling performance is desired, or if the
outside air is dusty or otherwise
contaminated, use the
(recirculation) position. Switch to
the(outside) position periodically
to increase ventilation so that the
windows do not become fogged up.Air conditioning switch
Push the switch to turn the air
conditioning on, indicator lamp (A) will
come on.
Push the switch again to switch it off.
Operating the air conditioning
system
Select dials and levers as shown in the
illustration according to your purpose.

NOTE There is an interior air
temperature sensor (A) in the illustrated
position. Never place anything on top of
the sensor, since doing so will prevent it
from functioning properly.
NOTE In extreme cold, the air
conditioning control panel screen may
operate sluggishly. This does not
indicate a problem. It will disappear
when the vehicle interior temperature
rises to a normal temperature.

“Changing the temperature unit”.
NOTE While the engine coolant
temperature is low, the temperature of
the air from the heater will be cool/cold
until the engine warms up, even if you
have selected warm air with the switch.
To prevent the windscreen and
windows from fogging up, the ventilator
mode will be changed to “

NOTE When the temperature is set to
the highest or the lowest, the air
selection and the air conditioner will be
automatically changed as follows. Also,
if the air selection is operated manually
after an automatic changeover, manual
operation will be selected.
Quick Heating(When the
temperature is set to the highest
setting): outside air will be introduced
and the air conditioner will stop.
Quick Cooling(When the
temperature is set to the lowest
setting): inside air will be recirculated
and the air conditioner will operate.
The settings described above are the
factory settings.
The air selection and air conditioning
switches can be customised (function
setting changed), and the automatic
switching of outside air and the air
conditioner according to operating
conditions can be changed as desired.
For further information, we recommend
you to consult a Fiat Dealership.
Refer to “Customising the air
conditioning switch” and to
“Customising the air selection”.
Synchronized mode and dual mode
The driver’s side and the passenger’s
side temperature can be controlled
independently. At this time, the “DUAL”
indicator will be shown in the display
(A).Synchronized mode
If the driver’s side temperature control
switch is pressed, the passenger’s side
temperature will also be controlled to
the same setting temperature as the
driver’s side.
Dual mode
If the passenger’s side temperature
control switch is pressed under
synchronized mode, the system will
switch to dual mode. In dual mode, the
driver’s side and the passenger’s side
temperature can be set separately by
using each temperature control switch.
Press the AUTO switch to return to
synchronized mode.
Air selection switch
To change the air selection, simply
press the air selection switch.
Outside air(Indicator lamp (A) is
OFF): outside air is introduced into the
passenger compartment.
Recirculated air(Indicator lamp (A)is ON): air is recirculated inside the
passenger compartment.
68)
NOTE Normally, use the outside
position to keep the windscreen and
side windows clear and quickly remove
fog or frost from the windscreen. If high
cooling performance is desired, or if the
outside air is dusty or otherwise
contaminated use the recirculation
position. Switch to the outside position
periodically to increase ventilation so
that the windows do not become
fogged up.
When the engine coolant temperature
rises to a certain level, the air selection
is automatically switched to the
recirculation position and the indicator
lamp (A) comes on. At this time, the
system will not switch to the outside
position even if the air selection switch
is pressed.
