STEERING WHEELThe steering wheel can be adjusted in height
(for versions/markets where provided).
Release the lever A-fig. 36 pulling it towards the steering
wheel, then adjust it in the most suitable position
and lock it pushing the lever A fully forwards. REAR fig. 35
Depending on the versions, head restraints can be fixed
(for 5-seat versions) or adjustable. To use adjustable head
restraints, raise the head restraint from position 2 (posi-
tion of non use) to position 1 (completely raised).
To bring them back to the original “position of non use”,
press the button B and push the head restraint down.
To take them out, press both buttons B and C, raise them
completely.
The particular head restraint shape deliberately interferes
with the correct passenger’s back leaning on the back-
rest in order to force him/her to lift the head restraint
and use it correctly.
IMPORTANT If the rear seats are used, always set the
head restraints in the “completely raised” position.

REAR VIEW MIRRORSINTERIOR MIRROR fig. 37
The mirror is fitted with a safety device that causes
its release in the event of a violent impact with the
passenger.
The mirror can be adjusted to two different positions
(normal or antiglare) by means of the lever A.BABY SURVEILLANCE MIRROR fig. 38
(for versions/markets where provided)
The surveillance mirror gives the driver and passenger an
overview of rear seats, to keep under control all passen-
gers (children) on the rear seats.
The mirror must be fasted to the windscreen using the rel-
evant sucker. Warning: to preserve visibility, the surveil-
lance mirror can only be positioned according to fig. 38,
over a parallel line to the roof trim, at about 11 cm. Do not
place the mirror on printed areas, as it could easily detach.
This is not a toy and should be kept far from children’s
reach.

Air recirculation on/off knob CU
= outside air intake
T
= inside air recirculation
It is advisable to switch the internal air recirculation on while
standing in queues or in tunnels to prevent the introduc-
tion of polluted air. However, it is better not to use the
function for long periods, particularly if there are many peo-
ple on board, to prevent the windows from misting inside.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation system makes it
possible to reach the required heating or cooling condi-
tions faster. Do not use the air recirculation function on
rainy/cold days as it would considerably increase the pos-
sibility of the windows misting inside.

Pressing the

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.

ever advisable to set the required temperature and then
to press the AUTO button. In this way, the system starts
to work fully automatically to reach the required com-
fort conditions as soon as possible.
During automatic operation it is possible:❒
to select the required temperature (buttons
ÔÕ
– E);
❒
to activate or deactivate air recirculation
(button
T
– D);
❒
to activate fast window demisting/defrosting
(button

❒
to select air distribution (buttons
¥wμ
– G H I);
❒
to select the fan speed (buttons
ÕÔ
– F).
The system will automatically modify its settings accord-
ing to set changes and the button LED will turn off.
To restore automatic operation press again the
AUTO
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.

Ceiling light timing (lens central position)
Three different switching-on modes are provided:❒
when opening one door a three-minute timing will start,
to be repeated each time one door is opened;
❒
approximately 10-second timing will start when re-
moving the ignition key within two minutes from turn-
ing the engine off;
❒
approximately 10-second timing will start when open-
ing the doors (by both remote control or key into
driver’s door lock).
Two switching-off modes are provided:
❒
when closing all doors, the 3-minute timing will go
off and a 10-second one will start. This timing will
go off when turning the key to MAR;
❒
when locking the doors (by both remote control or key
into driver’s door lock), the ceiling light goes off.
On Emotion and Dynamic versions, the ceiling light will
switch on and off gradually; the ceiling light will switch off
automatically 15 minutes after turning the engine off.
CEILING LIGHTFRONT CEILING LIGHT fig. 51
The lens A can have three positions:❒
side
a
pressed: light always on
❒

b
pressed: light always off
❒
central position (neutral): the light turns on and off when
the doors are opened or closed.
IMPORTANT Before getting out of the car, make sure the
switch is at central position: ensure that lights are off with
doors closed to avoid draining the battery.
For “Active” versions, lights switching-on and off occur
only when the front driver’s door is opened or closed.
