SYSTEM
The system can be activated by pressing any of the but-
tons; it is, however, advisable to set the desired temper-
atures on the display, then press the AUTO button.
The climate control system allows you to customise the
temperatures (driver side and passenger side) with a max-
imum difference of 7°C.
The climate control system compressor works only with
the engine running and with an outside temperature of
above 4°C.
AUTOMATIC FUNCTION OF THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM (AUTO function)
Press the AUTO button; the system will automatically ad-
just:
❒the amount of air introduced into the passenger com-
partment;
❒the distribution of air inside the passenger compartment;
cancelling any previous manual settings.
During climate control system automatic operation, the
words FULL AUTO appear on the display.
During automatic operation it is still possible to adjust the
set temperature and carry out the following operations
manually:
❒adjust fan speed;
❒select air distribution;
❒switch air recirculation and AQS function on/off;
❒switch on the climate control system compressor.REGULATING THE FAN SPEED

❒max fan speed = all bars lit;
❒min. fan speed = one bar lit.
The fan can be disabled (no bars lit) only if the climate con-
trol compressor has been switched off by pressing but-
ton
❄.
To restore automatic fan speed control after a manual ad-
justment, press AUTO.

Air recirculation is carried out according to three possi-
ble operating modes:
❒automatic control, signalled by the AQS sign on the dis-
play and the LED on button
Tbeing off;
❒permanently off (air recirculation always off with intro-
duction of external air), indicated by the LED on but-
ton
Tbeing off;
❒permanently on (air recirculation always on), signalled
by the LED on button
Tbeing lit up.
When OFF is pressed, the climate control system automatically
activates air recirculation (the LED on button
Tshould be

the button is off) and vice versa, by pressing button
T.
With the OFF button pressed (LED on the button is lit
up), it is not possible to enable the AQS (Air Quality Sys-
tem) function.
IMPORTANT The air recirculation system makes it pos-
sible to reach the required heating or cooling conditions
faster. It is not advisable to switch the air recirculation
on when it is rainy/cold or the windows might mist up, es-
pecially if the climate control is not turned on. It is advis-
able to switch the internal air internal recirculation on
while standing in queues or in tunnels to prevent the in-
troduction of polluted air. Do not use the function for
a long time, particularly if there are many passengers on
board, to prevent the windows from misting up.

Enabling the AQS (Air Quality System) function
The AQS function (AQS appears on the display), auto-
matically activates internal air recirculation when the out-
side air is polluted (e.g. in traffic queues and tunnels).
IMPORTANT With the AQS function active, after 15 con-
secutive minutes of the internal air recirculation system
functioning, the climate control system enables the intake
of outside air for approximately 1 minute to freshen the
air in the passenger compartment. This takes place re-
gardless of the pollution level of the outside air.
SET TEMPERATURE ALIGNMENT
(MONO function)
Press the MONO button to align the temperature be-
tween the driver side and passenger side.
Then turn the AUTO or MONO knob to in-
crease/decrease the temperature between the two areas
by the same amount.
Press MONO again to deactivate the function.

This device warms up the passenger compartment more
quickly when it is very cold and the engine coolant tem-
perature is low.
In these conditions, the device comes on automatically
when the engine is started and the fan is on.
The additional heater turns off automatically after reach-
ing the required comfort conditions.
IMPORTANT The heater will not turn on if the battery
voltage is too low.

❒move the stalk upwards (+) for at least one second, then
release it. The car speed is now memorised and you can
therefore come off the accelerator pedal.
If needed (when overtaking for instance), you can accel-
erate simply by pressing the accelerator pedal; when you
come off the pedal, the car will return to the speed mem-
orised previously.
RESTORING THE MEMORISED SPEED
If the device has been switched off, for example by press-
ing the brake or clutch pedal, the memorised speed can
be restored as follows:
❒accelerate gradually until reaching a speed approaching
the memorised speed;
❒engage the gear that was selected when you memorised
the speed;
❒press button RES B-fig. 52.

CRUISE CONTROL
(for versions/markets where provided)
This is an electronically controlled device which allows the
vehicle to be driven at a chosen speed above 30 km/h on
long stretches of dry, straight roads with few variations (e.g.
motorways), without having to press the accelerator ped-
al. It is therefore not recommended to use this device on
country roads with traffic. Do not use it in town.
ENGAGING THE DEVICE
Turn twist switch A-fig. 52 to ON.
The cruise control cannot be engaged in 1st or reverse
gear. It is advisable to engage it in 4th gear or higher.
When travelling downhill with the device engaged, the car
speed may slightly exceed the preset one.
When the device is activated, light
Ücomes on together
with the relevant message on the instrument panel (where
provided).
SETTING VEHICLE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❒turn twist switch A-fig. 52 to ON and press the accel-
erator pedal until you reach the required speed;

INCREASING THE MEMORISED SPEED
This can be done in two ways:
❒by pressing the accelerator and then memorising the
new speed reached;
or
❒moving the stalk upwards (+).
Each movement of the stalk will correspond to an increase
in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the stalk held up-
wards will continuously increase the speed.
REDUCING THE MEMORISED SPEED
This can be done in two ways:
❒by turning the device off and then storing a new speed;
or
❒by moving the stalk downwards (–) until reaching the
new speed which will be memorised automatically.
Each movement of the stalk will correspond to a reduc-
tion in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the stalk held
downwards will continuously reduce the speed.
DISENGAGING THE DEVICE
The device can be switched off by the driver in the fol-
lowing ways:
❒turning twist switch A to OFF;
❒switching off the engine;
❒pressing the brake pedal;

❒pressing the clutch pedal;
❒pressing the accelerator pedal; in this case, the system
is not really switched off but the request for accelera-
tion takes priority. The cruise control is, however, ac-
tive and you do not need to press button RES B-fig. 52
to restore the previous conditions when you have fin-
ished accelerating.
The device is automatically switched off in the following
cases:
❒if the ABS or ESP systems cut in;
❒if the car speed drops below the preset limit;
❒if there is a system failure.
While travelling with the device engaged, do not
put the gear lever into neutral.
WARNING
In case of malfunctioning or if the device fails,
turn twist switch A to OFF and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
