Air recirculation on/off knob C
U= outside air intake
T= inside air recirculation
This function is particularly useful when
the outside air is heavily polluted (in a traf-
fic jam, tunnel etc.). However, it is better
not to use it for long periods, especially
if there several people in the car.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the re-
quired “heating” or “cooling” conditions
faster. Do not use the air recirculation
function on rainy/cold days as it could con-
siderably increase the possibility of the
windows misting inside.Air distribution knob D

Button AUTO - A
Automatic climate control system
function on/off
Pressing the AUTObutton and setting
the required temperature, the system au-
tomatically adjusts the temperature, the
amount and distribution of the air admit-
ted to the passenger compartment and
controls compressor operation.Button √- B
Compressor on/off
Pressing the button when the button led
is on, will deactivate compressor and turn
the button led off.
Pressing the button when the led is off will
activate compressor and turn the button
led on.
When turning the compressor off:❒the system will deactivate air recircula-
tion to prevent window misting up;
❒it is not possible to admit air to the pas-
senger compartment with a tempera-
ture below the outside temperature
(the displayed temperature value will
flash when the system cannot guaran-
tee the required comfort conditions);
❒the fan speed can be set to zero man-
ually (with compressor on, the fan
speed cannot be lower that one bar on
the display).
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
(where provided)
According to the temperature set by the
user, the climate control system auto-
matically adjusts:
❒temperature of the air sent to the pas-
senger’s compartment;
❒fan speed (continuous air flow varia-
tion);
❒ air distribution in the passenger’s com-
partment;
❒compressor activation / deactivation (to
cool / dehumidify air);
❒air recirculation on / off.
The system continuously works to keep con-
stant the comfort inside the passenger com-
partment and to compensate any variation
of the outside climate conditions.
All the above functions can be changed
manually by selecting the required func-
tion/s and by changing the set parameters.
Manual setting does not impair automat-
ic control of the other functions although
the AUTObutton led is off.
Manual selections prevail over automatic
ones and remain in storage until the user
decides to resume automatic control by
pressing button AUTO (except when the
system cuts in for particular safety condi-
tions).

WINDOW WASHING
The right stalk fig. 52controls windscreen
wiper/washer and heated rear window
wiper/washer operation.
WINDSCREEN WASHER/WIPER
The device can only work when the igni-
tion key is at MAR.
The stalk can be moved to five different
positions (4 speed levels):
Awindscreen wiper off.
Bintermittent.
Ccontinuous slow.
Dcontinous fast.
Efast temporary (unstable position).
Fast temporary operation is limited to the
time the lever is held in this position.
When the lever is released it returns to
position Aautomatically stopping the
wiper.
Windscreen wiper slowing down
according to car speed
(where provided)
On certain versions, when decelerating
until stopping the car will make the wind-
screen wiper to slow down automatical-
ly. Speed will be resumed automatically
when the car speed exceeds 10 km/h. The
windscreen speed can be changed manu-
ally at any moment.“Smart washing” function
Pulling the stalk towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) operates the
windscreen washer.
Keeping the stalk pulled, with just one
movement, it is possible to operate the
washer jet and the wiper at the same time;
indeed, the latter comes into action au-
tomatically if the stalk is pulled for more
than half a second. The wiper stops work-
ing a few strokes after releasing the stalk;
a further “cleaning stroke”, after a few sec-
onds, completes the wiping operation. “FOLLOW ME HOME” DEVICE
This function allows the illumination of the
space in front of the car.
Activation
With the ignition key atSTOPor re-
moved, pull the left-hand 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 lever is operated, the warn-
ing light 3on the instrument cluster will
come on and the display will show the
time of activation.
The warning light comes on the first time
the lever is operated and will stay on up
to automatic function deactivation. Each
operation of the lever will extend lights
switching on time.
Deactivation
Keep the stalk pulled towards the steer-
ing wheel for more than 2 seconds.

Never use the window wiper
to remove ice or snow from
the windscreen. In these con-
ditions, the wiper is submitted
to excessive effort that results in mo-
tor protection cutting in and wiper op-
eration inhibition for few seconds as a
consequence. If operation is not re-
stored contact Fiat Dealership.

movement it is possible to operate the
washer jet and the wiper at the same time;
indeed, the latter comes into action au-
tomatically if the stalk is pulled for more
than half a second.
The rear window wiper stops working a
few strokes after releasing the stalk; a fur-
ther “cleaning stroke”, after a few sec-
onds, completes the wiping operation. REAR WINDOW WASHER/

verse gear will automatically turn the rear
window wiper on, in continuous slow wip-
ing mode.
The rear window wiper will stop when
disengaging reverse.
Never use the rear window
wiper to remove ice or snow
from the rear window. In
these conditions, the wiper is
submitted to excessive effort that re-
sults in motor protection cutting in and
wiper operation inhibition for few sec-
onds as a consequence. If operation is
not restored contact Fiat Dealership.
