TRIP COMPUTER
(where provided)
General features
The “Trip computer” is provided on cars
fitted with multifunction display or re-
configurable multifunction display. The
“Trip computer” displays information
(with ignition key at MAR) relating to the
operating status of the car. This function
comprises the “General trip” concerning
the “complete mission” of the car (jour-
ney) and “Trip B”, (only available on re-
configurable multifunction display), con-
cerning the partial mission of the car; this
latter function (as shown in fig. 31) is “con-
tained” within the complete mission.Both functions are resettable (reset - start
of new mission).
“General Trip” displays the figures relat-
ing to:
– Range to empty (where provided)
– Trip distance
– Average consumption (where provided)
– Instant consumption (where provided)
– Average speed
– Trip time (driving time).“Trip B” (only available on reconfigurable
multifunction display), displays the figures
relating to:
– Trip distance B
– Average consumption B (where provided)
– Average speed B
– Trip time B (driving time).
NoteThe “Trip B” function can be ex-
cluded (see paragraph “Trip B On/Off”).
“Range to empty” cannot be reset.

New mission
New mission starts after:
– “manual” resetting by the user, by press-
ing the relevant button;
– “automatic” resetting, when the “Trip dis-
tance” reaches 3999.9 km or 9999.9 km

Range to empty (where provided)
This value shows the distance in km (or
mi) that the car can still cover before
needing fuel, assuming that driving condi-
tions are kept unvaried. The display will
show “----” in the following cases:
– value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– car left parked with engine running for
long.
Trip distance
This value shows the distance covered
from the start of the new mission.
Average consumption (where provided)
This value shows the average consump-
tion from the start of the new mission.
Instant consumption (where provided)
This value shows instant fuel consumption
(this value is updated second by second).

Button AUTO - A
Automatic climate control system

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).

Air recirculation on/off
This function is particularly useful when
the outside air is heavily polluted (in a traf-
fic jam, tunnel, etc.).
Button led on = recirculation on.
Button led off = recirculation off.
With low temperatures or compressor
off, air recirculation is deactivated to pre-
vent window misting up.
IMPORTANT It is inadvisable to use air
recirculation on cold days as it would con-
siderably increase the possibility of win-
dows misting up inside.
During AUTOoperation, due to safety rea-
sons, after long recirculation activation (over
25 minutes) the system will deactivate au-
tomatically air recirculation for 1 minute to
enable outside air inlet.

Temperature setting
Pressing button Õwill raise the passen-
ger’s compartment temperature up to HI
value (maximum heating power).Pressing button Ôwill lower the passen-
ger’s compartment temperature down to

HI function
This functions can be switched on when
you wish to heat the passenger compart-
ment as quickly as possible; air distribu-
tion and fan speed are controlled by the
system.
To turn this function off, set the required
temperature.
IMPORTANT If the system fluid is not
warm enough, top fan speed will not be
activated immediately to prevent air not
warm enough from entering the passen-
ger compartment.
LO function
This function can be switched on when
you wish to cool the passenger compart-
ment as quickly as possible; with this func-
tion switched on the compressor will be
turned on (if off) whereas air distribution
and fan speed are controlled by the sys-
tem.
To turn this function off, set the required
temperature.
IMPORTANT With the function switched
on, however, all the manual settings can
be made. Button OFF - C
Switching the climate control

Press button OFFto turn the system off.
When turned off the system conditions are
the following:
❒all leds off;
❒temperature display off;
❒air recirculation off;
❒compressor off;
❒fan off.
Under this condition, air recirculation can
be turned on or off without activating the
system.
IMPORTANT The system will store the
settings (except recirculation) performed
before turning off and will resume them
when pressing any button (if the function
corresponding to the button pressed is off
it will be turned on; if on it will be kept ac-
tive). Press AUTOto turn the system in

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.
