DEMISTING/DEFROSTING fig. 34
(for versions/markets where provided)
Press the button A to activate this function; once
enabled, the light on the button comes on.
This function is timed and will turn off automatically
after 20 minutes. Press the button A again to switch the
function off.
IMPORTANT Do not apply stickers on the inside of the
rear window over the heating filaments to avoid damage
that might cause it to stop working properly.INTERNAL AIR RECIRCULATION
ACTIVATION
Press
•so that the button LED is on.
It is advisable to switch the internal air recirculation on
whilst queueing or in tunnels to prevent the
introduction of polluted air. However, it is better not to
use the function for long periods, particularly if there
are many people 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
conditions more quickly.
Do not use the air recirculation function on rainy/cold
days as it would considerably increase the possibility of
the windows misting inside.
SYSTEM SERVICING
In winter, the climate control system must be turned on
at least once a month for about 10 minutes. Have the
system inspected at an Abarth Dealership before the
summer.
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
incompatible with the system components.

activated, the button LED lights up.
This function is timed and will turn off automatically
after 20 minutes. Press the button (again to switch
the function off.

ACTIVATION
Press button
T.
Air recirculation is carried out according to two
possible operating modes:
❒permanently off (air recirculation always off with
introduction of external air), indicated by the LED
on button
Tbeing off;
❒permanently on (air recirculation always on),
signalled by the LED on button
Tbeing lit.
When OFF is pressed, the climate control system
automatically activates internal air recirculation (LED on
button
Ton). It is still possible to activate outside air
recirculation (LED on the button off) and vice versa, by
pressing button
T.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation system makes
it possible to reach the required heating or cooling
conditions faster depending on the mode selected. It is
not advisable to switch the air recirculation on when it
is rainy/cold to prevent the windows from misting up,
especially if the climate control is not turned on. It is
advisable to switch the internal air recirculation on
whilst queueing or in tunnels to prevent the
introduction of polluted air.
Do not use the function for a long time, particularly if
there are several passengers on board, to prevent the
windows from misting up.

The wiper stops working three strokes after the stalk is
released. A further stroke 6 seconds later completes
the wiping operation.
RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets where provided)
The rain sensor is located behind the rear view mirror
in contact with the windscreen and has the purpose of
automatically adjusting the frequency of the windscreen
wiper strokes depending on the intensity of the rain
during intermittent operation.
IMPORTANT Keep the glass in the sensor area clean.
Activation
Move the twist switch on the right-hand stalk to
≤fig.
38. The activation of the sensor is signalled by a wiper
stroke. Through the setup menu it is possible to
increase the sensitivity of the rain sensor. The increasing
of the rain sensor sensitivity is signalled by a “stroke” to
show the command has been acquired. If the
windscreen washer is used with the rain sensor
activated, the normal washing cycle is performed, after
which the rain sensor resumes its normal automatic
operation.
Never use the windscreen wipers to
remove layers of snow or ice from the
windscreen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wipers may be subjected to excessive
stress and the motor protection which prevents
operation for a few seconds may intervene. If
operation is not restored, even after turning the
key and restarting the engine, go to an Abarth
Dealership.
When released, the stalk returns to its default position
and the wipers automatically switch off.
With the twist switch at
≤, the windscreen wiper will
automatically adapt to the speed of the car.
IMPORTANT Replace the wiper blades as specified in
the “Maintenance and care” section.
“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel (unstable
position) to operate the windscreen washer.
Keeping the lever pulled for more than half a second,
with just one movement it is possible to operate the
washer jet and the wiper at the same time.
