TWO-ZONE
CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM
(where provided)
DESCRIPTION
The car is fitted with a two-zone climate
control system which makes it possible to
separately adjust the air temperatures and
air distribution 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 constant the comfort inside the
passenger compartment and to compen-
sate any variation of the outside climate
conditions, including sunshine detected by
a proper sensor provided for the purpose.
The climate control system automatically
controls and adjusts the following para-
meters and functions:
❒ air temperature at driver/front passen-
ger 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. Man-
ual selections prevail over automatic ones
and remain in storage until the user de-
cides to resume automatic control (press
button AUTO), except when the system
cuts in for particular safety conditions. The
control of functions not changed manual-
ly remains automatic. The amount of air
admitted to the passenger compartment
does not depend on the car speed, since
it is electronically controlled 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 en-
able;
❒monozone/two-zone distribution prior-
ity;
❒ fast demisting/defrosting;
❒ air recirculation;
❒ rear heated window;
❒system deactivation.

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
Move the right-hand stalk knurled ring to
≤fig. 47.
The activation of the rain sensor is sig-
nalled by a control acquisition “stroke”.
Through the set up menu it 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 “stroke”.
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
Change the stalk knurled ring position
from
≤fig. 47or turn the ignition key
to STOP.
At next engine starting (key at MAR), the
sensor will not be reactivated even if the
knurled ring is still at
≤fig. 47. To ac-
tivate the rain sensor you have to move
the knurled ring from
≤to another po-
sition and then again to
≤.
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 Streaks of water may cause
unrequired blade moving. “Smart washing” function
Pulling the stalk towards the steering wheel
(unstable position) operates the wind-
screen washer.
Keeping the stalk pulled for more than half
a second, with just one movement it is
possible to operate the washer jet and the
wiper at the same time.
The wiper stops working three strokes af-
ter releasing the stalk.
A further stroke after 6 seconds com-
pletes the wiping operation.

AND CONTROLS
Replacing standard tyres
with winter tyres and vice
versa involves T.P.M.S. system set-up
that shall be performed at Fiat Deal-
erships only.
WARNING
The T.P.M.S. system requires
special equipment. Consult
Fiat Dealership to know what type of
accessories are compatible with the
system (wheels, wheel caps, etc.). Us-
ing other accessories could cause sys-
tem malfunctioning.
WARNING
Tyre pressure could change
according to outside tem-
perature. For this reason the T.P.M.S.
system could temporarily indicate low
tyre pressure. In this event check pres-
sure with cold tyres and restore prop-
er inflation values if required.
WARNING
If the car is fitted with
T.P.M.S. system, tyre and/or
rim removal and refitting operations
involve special precautions; to pre-
vent damages or wrong sensor refit-
ting, contact Fiat Dealership to have
tyre and/or rim changed.
WARNING
If the car is fitted with
T.P.M.S. system, when
changing a tyre, change also the rub-
ber seal of the valve. Contact a Fiat
Dealership.
WARNING
Strong radio-frequency nois-
es could inhibit the regular
operation of the T.P.M.S. system.
This condition will be indicated by a
message on the multfunction display
(where provided).
The warning message will go off au-
tomatically as soon as the radio-fre-
quency noise will stop to disturb the
system.

PARKING SENSORS
(where provided)
Parking sensors are located in the rear
bumper fig. 116and 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 dis-
tance between the car and the obsta-
cle decreases;
❒ becomes continuous when the distance
between the car and the obstacle is less
that 30 cm and stops immediately if the
distance raises;
❒is constant if the distance is unvaried;
if this situation concerns the side sen-
sors, the buzzer will stop after about
3 seconds to avoid, for example, warn-
ing indications in the event of manoeu-
vres along walls.Detection distances
If several obstacles are detected, the con-
trol unit indicates the nearest one.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
See section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”.

GENERAL WARNINGS
❒ When parking, take the utmost care to
obstacles that may be set above or un-
der the sensors.
❒Objects set close to the car, under cer-
tain circumstances are not detected and
could therefore cause damages to the
car or be damaged.
❒Indications sent by the sensors can be
altered by dirt, snow or ice deposited
on the sensors or by ultrasound systems
(e.g.: truck pneumatic brakes or pneu-
matic 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.
WARNINGOPERATION WITH
TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is deactivated
automatically when the trailer electric ca-
ble plug is fitted into the car tow hook
socket.
Sensors are reactivated when removing
the trailer cable plug.
In washing stations, clean sensors quickly
keeping the vapour jet/high pressure
washing nozzles at 10 cm at least from the
sensors.
