AUTO – button (A) Automatic climate control
system function engagement.
Pressing the
AUTO
button and setting the required tem-
perature, the system adjusts air temperature, quantity and
distribution into the passenger compartment and controls
the compressor operation.
Button
√
– B Compressor on/off
Pressing the button, with LED on, the compressor and the
LED switch off.
Pressing the button when the LED is off, the automatic
system is restored, activating the compressor and turn-
ing the button LED on.
When the compressor is off:
❒
the system will deactivate air recirculation to prevent
window misting up;
AIR CONDITIONS CONTROL
SYSTEM(for versions/markets where provided)
The automatic climate control system automatically reg-
ulates the following depending on the temperature set
by the user:❒
the temperature of the air conveyed to the passenger
compartment;
❒
fan speed (continuous air flow variation);
❒
air distribution inside the passenger compartment;
❒
compressor activation/deactivation (to cool/
dehumidify air);
❒
air recirculation on/off.
The system continuously processes different parameters to
keep constant the comfort inside the passenger compartment
and to compensate for any variation of the outside climate
conditions.All the above functions can be changed manually by se-
lecting the required function/s. Manual setting of a func-
tion does not impair the automatic control of the other
functions even if the
AUTO
button LED is off. Manual se-
lections will always prevail over automatic settings and will
be stored until the user switches the system back to au-
tomatic mode pressing the AUTO
button, except for
the cases in which the system will intervene for particular,
safety-related reasons.

to activate or deactivate air recirculation
(button

SYSTEM SERVICING
In winter, the climate control system must be turned on
at least once a month for about 10 minutes.
Before summer, have the system inspected at a Fiat
Dealership.
The system uses R134a refrigerant fluid
which does not pollute the environment in
the event of accidental leakage. Under no
circumstances should R12 fluid be used as it is in-
compatible with the system components.

WINDOW WASHINGThe right stalk fig. 50 controls windscreen wiper/washer
and rear window wiper/washer operation.
WINDSCREEN WASHER/WIPER
The device can only work when the ignition key is at MAR.
The stalk has five different positions (four speed levels):
A windscreen wiper off.
B intermittent operation.
C continuous slow operation.
D continuous fast operation.
E fast temporary operation (spring-return position).
The temporary fast function lasts as long as you manually
keep the stalk in that position. The stalk returns to
position A when it is released, automatically stopping
the windscreen wipers.

Windscreen wiper slowing down according
to car speed
(for versions/markets where provided)
On some versions, when decelerating until stopping the
car, will the windscreen wiper will slow down automati-
cally. Speed will be resumed automatically when the car
speed exceeds 10 km/h. The windscreen speed can be
changed manually at any time.
“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel (spring-return
position) to operate the windscreen washer.
Keep the stalk pulled, with just one movement, to operate
the washer jet and the windscreen wiper; the latter auto-
matically turns on if you keep the stalk pulled for more than
half a second. The windscreen wiper stops operating a few
strokes after releasing the stalk; a further “cleaning stroke”,
after a few seconds, completes the wiping operation.
Never use the windscreen wipers to remove
layers of snow or ice from the windscreen.
In these conditions, the windscreen wipers
may be submitted to excessive effort resulting in
motor protection cutting in and wiper operation in-
hibition for a few seconds. If the operation is not
restored, contact a Fiat Dealership.
