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 temperature on
the driver’s side and on the passenger’s
side.
The system is fitted with the AQS func-
tion (Air Quality System) that turns on in-
side air recirculation automatically when
it detects the presence of outside pollut-
ed air (for example when driving in the
city, queues and tunnels).
CONTROLS
A: Button for selecting the system auto-
matic mode (AUTO) and knob to ad-
just temperature on driver side
B: Air distribution selection button
C: Display showing climate control sys-
tem data
D: Knob for adjusting fan speedE: Button for aligning the temperature
set on the passenger’s side with that
on the driver’s side (MONO) and
knob to adjust temperature on pas-
senger side
F: Two-zone climate control on/off but-

SWITCHING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM ON
The system can be started in different
ways, but it is advisable to set the tem-
peratures required on the display; then
press button AUTO.
It is possible to personalise required tem-
peratures (driver and passenger) with a
maximum difference of 7°C.
The climate control system compressor
works only with the engine running and
outside temperature above 4°C.It is possible to personalise the choices
made automatically by the system inter-
vening manually on the following controls:
❒fan speed adjustment knob;
❒air distribution selection button;
❒inside air recirculation and AQS func-
tion on/off button;
❒climate control compressor button.
It is inadvisable to use the in-
side air recirculation feature
with low outside temperature as the
windows might mist over quickly.
WARNING
HOW TO USE THE AUTOMATIC
FUNCTION (AUTO)
Press button AUTO; the system will au-
tomatically adjust:
❒air inlet in the passenger’s compart-
ment;
❒air distribution in the passenger’s com-
partment;
thus cancelling all the previous manual ad-
justments.
When the climate control system is work-
ing automatically, FULL AUTO is dis-
played.

AQS (Air Quality System)
function activation
The AQS function, (message AQS on the
display), turns on air recirculation auto-
matically when it detects the presence of
outside polluted air (for example when
driving in the city, queues and tunnels).
IMPORTANT When the AQS function is
active, after 15 minutes of consecutive in-
ternal air recirculation, the climate con-
trol system enables outside air inlet (re-
gardless of air pollution level) for approx.
1 minute to change air inside the passen-
ger compartment. INSIDE AIR RECIRCULATION
ON/OFF AND AQS FUNCTION
(Air Quality System)
Press button
T.
Inside air recirculation is controlled by
three operating logics:
❒automatic control, indicated by message
AQS on the display and button led
Toff;
❒forced switching off (inside air recircu-
lation always off with air inlet from out-
side), button led
Toff;
❒forced switching on (inside air recircu-
lation always on with air inlet from out-
side), button led
Ton.Pressing button OFF, the climate control
system turns on automatically the inside
air recirculation function (button led
Ton). In these conditions it is how-
ever possible to take air from the outside
(and vice versa) pressing button
T(button led off).
With button OFF pressed (button led on),
the AQS (Air Quality System) function
cannot be activated.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the re-
quired “heating” or “cooling” conditions
faster. It is however inadvisable to use it
on rainy/cold days as it would consider-
ably increase the possibility of the win-
dows misting inside, especially if the cli-
mate control system is off. It is advisable
to turn on the inside air recirculation sys-
tem in queues or tunnels to avoid admit-
ting polluted air from outside. The pro-
longed use of this function should how-
ever be avoided, especially with several
persons on board, to avoid the possibili-
ty of the windows misting inside.

Pressing one or more buttons
Q/E/Zit is possible to choose manually 7 of the
possible air distributions to the passenger
compartment:
QAir flow to the windscreen and
front side window vents to demist
or defrost them.
ZAir flow towards the front and
rear lower parts of the passenger
compartment. This type of distri-
bution allows heating of the pas-
senger compartment in the short-
est time.
Q
ZESplitting of the air flow between
front and rear vents, centre and
side dashboard outlets, rear out-
let, windscreen and front side win-
dow demisting vents.
EAir flow to the dashboard centre
and side outlets (passenger’s

WINDOW WASHING
WINDSCREEN WASHER/
WIPER fig. 51
The device can only work when the igni-
tion key is at MAR.
The right stalk can be moved to five dif-
ferent positions:
A: windscreen wiper off.
B: flick wipe.
With the stalk in position B, turning the
knurled ring Ffour possible intermittent
speeds are obtained:
,= very slow intermittent
■= slow intermittent.
■■= intermittent medium.
■■■= fast intermittent.
C: continuous slow;
D: continuous fast;
E: fast temporary (unstable position).Operation in position Eis limited to the
time the lever is held in this position.
When the lever is released, it returns to
position Aautomatically stopping the
wiper.
IMPORTANT When the wiper is on, en-
gaging reverse gear automatically turns on
the rear window wiper.fig. 51F0C0048m
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.

HEADLIGHT WASHER fig. 55
Fiat Stilo headlight washers are “re-
tractable”, i.e.: they are located inside the
front bumpers and they are activated (with
dipped beam headlights and/or main beam
headlights on) when the windscreen wash-
er is operated.
IMPORTANT Check at regular intervals
correct operation and cleanness of noz-
zles.
fig. 55F0C0270m
Never use the rear window
wiper to remove ice or snow
from the rear window. In these
conditions, the wiper is sub-
mitted to excessive effort that results
in motor protection cutting in and
wiper operation inhibition for few sec-
onds as a consequence. If operation is
not restored contact Fiat Dealership.
