KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE If the wipers are operating or are
in automatic mode, when you put the
gear in reverse, the rear window starts
working intermittently.
IMPORTANT In the case of ice or snow,
clean the windscreen (including the
central section behind the interior rear
view mirror) and the rear window before
activating the wipers (risk of overheating
their electric motor). Check the status
of the wiper blades:
they have to be kept clean: clean the
blades, the windscreen and rearscreen
regularly with soapy water;
do not use them when the
windscreen and rear window are dry;
detach them from the windscreen or
rear window if they have not been used
for a long time.
IMPORTANT In any case, replace them
as soon as they are no longer efficient:
about once a year.
IMPORTANT Before using the rear
wiper, check that there is no item that
could interfere with the wiper trajectory.
IMPORTANT Do not use the wiper arm
to open or close the luggage
compartment door.
WARNING
37)When working in the engine
compartment, make sure that the
windscreen wiper is in position A
(stopped). Risk of injury.
38)If the window needs to be cleaned,
make sure the device is deactivated or the
key is on STOP.
39)When working in the engine
compartment, make sure that the rear
window wiper is in the stopped position.
Risk of injury.
IMPORTANT
5)Never use the windscreen wipers 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
subsequently restored, even after restarting
the vehicle, contact a Fiat Dealership.
6)Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with the blades lifted from the windscreen.
7)Make sure the device is switched off if
there is ice on the windscreen.

Air temperature adjustment
Use control 5 fig. 91 depending on the
desired temperature. The farther the
indicator is in the red zone, the higher
the temperature.
Ventilation speed adjustment
Use control 3 fig. 91 from 0 to 4 fig. 91.
The farther to the right you turn it, the
more air is diffused. If you want to stop
air entry, place control 3 fig. 91 at 0.
The system is deactivated: ventilation
speed in the passenger compartment is
nil (vehicle stopped), you can still notice
a slight air flow when the vehicle is
moving.
NOTE Prolonged use of this control in
position 0 can make the side windows
and windscreen mist up even though
the air inside the passenger
compartment is not stuffy.
Quick de-misting: Passenger
compartment isolation/air recycling
deactivated (warning light on button 4
fig. 91 is off), turn controls 1 fig. 91 and
3 fig. 91 to the positions
. Air
conditioning activation lets you speed
up de-misting.
Activating the passenger
compartment isolation/air
recycling.
Press button 4 fig. 91 (the warning light
will go on).
In this position, the air in the passenger
compartment is recycled without
introducing outside air.Air recirculation allows you:
to isolate the outside environment
(when driving in polluted areas, etc.);
to get the desired internal passenger
compartment temperature more
quickly.
IMPORTANT Prolonged use of air
recycling can make the side windows
and windscreen mist up even though
the air inside the passenger
compartment is not stuffy. We advise
you to return to normal function
(outside air) by pressing button 4
fig. 91 again as soon as air recycling is
no longer needed.
Passenger compartment air
distribution
Turn the knob 1 fig. 91 to select the
distribution type.
The airflow is directed to the
dashboard vents.
The airflow is directed to the
dashboard vents and to the rear seat
lower vents.
The airflow is mainly directed
towards the front seat lower vents and
the dashboard vents. To direct the air
downwards only, close the dashboard
vents.
The airflow is distributed among all
the vents, the front side window vents,
the windscreen demisting vents and the
lower vents.
The airflow is directed towards the
windscreen demisting vents and the
front side window demisting vents.
Turning the climate control system
on/off
The button 2 fig. 91 lets you turn on
(indicator light on) or off (indicator light
off) the air conditioning.
It cannot be turned on if control 3
fig. 91 is set at 0.
Using air conditioning lets you:
lower the interior car temperature;
de-mist the windows more quickly.
Air conditioning does not work when
the outside temperature is low.
IMPORTANT For vehicles equipped
with ECO mode (button 7 fig. 92 ):
when activated, ECO mode can reduce
the heating and/or climate control
performance.

IMPORTANT Vehicles equipped with
the ECOMODE function (button 9
fig. 95 ): when enabled, the ECOMODE
function can reduce the automatic
climate control system performance.
Please see the paragraph "Driving

Internal air recirculation
This function is managed automatically,
but you can also enable it manually. It
can be forced on by button 7 fig. 94,
which is highlighted by the button’s led
turning on
IMPORTANT In any case,
de-misting/defrosting takes priority over
air recycling.
Note:
during recycling, the air in the
passenger compartment is recycled
without introducing outside air;
air recirculation lets you isolate the
interior from outside influences (driving
in a polluted area, e.g.);
to get the desired internal passenger
compartment temperature more
quickly.Manual use: Press button 7
fig. 94 and the integrated warning light
will go on.
Prolonged use of the recirculation
function can create unpleasant odours
and mist up the windows as the air is
not changed.
We advise you to return to automatic
mode by pressing button 7 fig. 94 again
as soon as air recirculation is no longer
needed.
Press button 7 fig. 94 again to
deactivate the this function.
System deactivation
Turn control 6 fig. 94 to the OFF
position to deactivate the system. To
turn it on again, turn control 6
fig. 94 again to adjust the fan speed, or
press button 1 fig. 94.

NOTE If the window encounters any
resistance during closing (for example a
tree branch, etc.) it stops and lowers a
few centimetres again.
Irregular operation
If the window closing fails to function,
the system moves to no pressure
mode: pull the concerned switch up as
much as needed until the window
closes completely (the window goes
back up gradually); then keep the
switch pulled up (always on the closing
side) for a second, then lower it and
raise it back up completely to reinstate
the system.
If necessary, contact a Fiat Dealership.

exposed to the risk of being injured either
directly by the moving window or through
objects getting caught or hit by it. When
leaving the vehicle (equipped with
mechanical key with remote control),
always remove the key from the ignition
device to prevent accidental operation of
the electric windows from being a hazard
for those still on board.
55)When you close the windows, check
that no part of a body (arm, hand, etc.) is
sticking out from the vehicle. Danger of
serious injury.
56)Before manoeuvring it, make sure no
