ferent driver’s seat and door mirror po-
sitions.
Proceed as follows:
❒adjust the driver’s seat and door mir-
ror positions;
❒press for about 3 seconds one of the
buttons D(“1” , “2” or “3”), corre-
sponding to each of the stored posi-
tions until hearing the confirmation
beep.
Storing a new position (seat and mirror)
will automatically clear the one stored
previously using the same button.
IMPORTANT The lumbar adjustment and
the seat warming function are not con-
trolled by the seat position storing system.Recalling stored positions
Proceed as follows:
❒turn the ignition key to ON;
❒press (by pulse) button D(“1” , “2” or
“3”).
The seat will move automatically, only if
the position to be reached is different
from the current one and the car speed is
lower than 10 km/h.
Seat moving is possible within 1 minute af-
ter removing the key from the ignition
switch or within three minutes after open-
ing the doors.
Should engine be started during the re-
calling phase, seat moving will be tem-
porarily stopped.
IMPORTANT Pressing any of the Dbut-
tons during the recalling stage, causes im-
mediate stop of the function being per-
formed (“antipanic” mode).
Seat warming (where provided)

Air recirculation and AQS function
on/off button A
If the AQSsensor is not fitted, air recir-
culation works according to the following
operating logics:
❒forced switching on (inside air recir-
culation always on), indicated by sym-
bol íon the display;
❒forced switching off (air recirculation
always off with air inlet from the out-
side), indicated by symbol
êon the
display.
The above operating conditions are ob-
tained by pressing in sequence the air re-
circulation button A.
Due to safety reasons, after long recircu-
lation activation (over 25 minutes), the
system will deactivate automatically air re-
circulation for 60 seconds to enable out-
side air inlet.
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 considerably in-
crease the possibility of the windows mist-
ing inside, especially if the climate control
system is off.
When outside temperature is below 3°C,
recirculation is forced to off (outside air
inlet) to prevent window misting up.
It will be reactivated automatically if out-
side temperature becomes higher than 5
°C.
The AQSsensor (Air Quality System) in
addition to the above operating logics, en-
ables to control recirculation automati-
cally according to the quality of outside air:
❒automatic control indicated by symbol
≥on the display.
In this event the display will show symbol
ïor ñaccording to actual recircu-
lation operating conditions (on or off).
In automatic operation with AQS,inside
air recirculation is turned on automatical-
ly when the antipollution sensor detectsthe presence of polluted air, for example
when driving in the city, queues and tun-
nels.
With compressor on, in order to prevent
polluted air (exhaust gas) inlet at stops, the
system will stop air recirculation when the
car speed falls below 6 km/h. As the car
speed increases (over 25 km/h), the sys-
tem will restore the previous automatic
operating conditions.
In automatic operation, AQSis deacti-
vated when outside temperature is below
3°C, the system will activate air recircu-
lation (indicated by symbol ≥on the
display). The user can however set it man-
ually by operating in rolling mode the reir-
culation button: pressing the button for
the first time will display the current re-
circulation condition, indicated by symbol
ê.
It will be reactivated automatically if out-
side temperature becomes higher than 5
°C.
Press the button again to select the re-
quired recirculation condition, indicated
by the corresponding symbol on the dis-
play. Under these conditions manual ac-
tivation of the AQSfunction could cause
window misting up.
When air recirculation is set manually,
wording FULLwill turn off and A will dis-
appear from the recirculation symbol on
the display.
It is inadvisable to use the in-
side air recirculation func-
tion with low outside temperature as
windows may mist over quickly.

POWER WINDOWS
All versions are fitted with power win-
dows with anti-crushing safety device to
detect the presence of an obstacle in the
window closing stroke. If an obstacle is de-
tected, the safety system will stop window
closing and, according to window position,
will also reverse window stroke.
IMPORTANT In the event that the anti-
crushing function is activated 5 times in
only 1 minute, the system will automati-
cally enter the “recovery” mode (self-pro-
tection). This conditions is pointed out by
the fact that, in the closing phase, the win-
dow goes up in jerks.
So, it is necessary to carry out the sys-
tem restore procedure, acting as follows:
❒open the windows;
or
❒turn the ignition key to OFFand then
to ON.
The logic is restored if no malfunction is
present, the window returns to its normal
operation automatically; otherwise con-
tact a Fiat Dealership.IMPORTANT With the ignition key to
OFFor removed, the power windows re-
main activated for about 2 minutes and are
deactivated immediately the moment a
door is opened.WINDOW SAFETY SYSTEM
INITIALISATION
Safety system shall be re-initialised after
disconnecting the battery or if the rele-
vant protection fuse is blown.
Initialisation procedure:
❒open completely manually or auto-
matically the window to initialise ;
❒fully close the window manually (with-
out stops);
❒after window stopping, keep on press-
ing the closing control for at least 1
second.
