HEAD RESTRAINTS
FRONT fig. 32
These are height-adjustable and lock into place automat-
ically.
Adjustment
❒upwards adjustment: lift the head restraint until it locks.
❒downwards adjustment: press button A and lower the
head restraint.
All adjustments must only be carried out
with the vehicle stationary and the engine
off. Head restraints must be adjusted so that the
head, rather than the neck, rests on them. This is
the only way they can protect your head correctly.
WARNING
To make the best use of the head restraint
protective action, adjust the seat back so
that your trunk is upright and keep your head as
close as possible to the head restraint.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Run the climate control system for at least 10 minutes
every month during the winter. Have the system inspect-
ed at the Fiat Service Network before the summer. Adjusting cooling
Proceed as follows:
❒turn off internal air recirculation by pressing button E
(button LED off);
❒turn knob A to the right to increase the temperature;
❒turn knob B to the left to reduce the fan speed.
SUPPLEMENTARY HEATER
(for versions/markets where provided)
This device warms up the passenger compartment more
quickly when it is very cold and the engine coolant tem-
perature is low.
The supplementary heater comes on automatically when
the engine is started, if knob A is turned to the last red
sector and the fan (knob B) is at least at the first speed lev-
el.
The supplementary heater turns off automatically after
reaching the required comfort conditions.
WARNING The heater will not turn on if the battery volt-
age is too low.

❒the maximum air temperature for the HI air is set in
both areas;
❒sets the fan speed set according to the engine coolant
temperature to limit the flow of air that is insufficiently
warm to demist the windows;
❒the air flow is directed to the windscreen and front
door window glasses diffusers;
❒switches on the heated rear windscreen
WARNING The rapid demisting/defrosting function for
the windows remains on for about 3 minutes from when
the engine coolant reaches the appropriate temperature
for a rapid demisting of the windows.
When this function is active, the LED in the correspond-
ing button and the one for the heated rear windscreen but-
ton switch on. The message FULL AUTO goes off on the
display.
You can only adjust the fan speed and switch the heated
rear windscreen off manually when this function is active.
To restore the previous operating conditions, simply press
button B, air recirculation button G, compressor button
F or AUTO button A. IMPORTANT With the compressor off, it is not possible
to introduce air into the passenger compartment at a tem-
perature lower than that of the outside air. In certain
weather conditions, the windows could mist up rapidly due
to the non-dehumidified air.
The switching off of the compressor remains memorised
even when the engine has been stopped.
To restore automatic compressor engagement control,
press the √button again (in this case, the system will work
only as a heater) or press the AUTO button.
With the compressor switched off, if the outside tem-
perature is higher than the one set, the system is not ca-
pable of satisfying this request and signals it by the digits
for the temperature setting flashing after which the word
AUTO goes out.
With the climate control compressor off, the fan speed
can be set to zero manually (no bar shown).
With the compressor enabled and the engine started, the
fan speed may only be reduced to the minimum setting
(one bar shown).
Button for rapid window demisting/defrosting (D)
Press this button and the climate control system will au-
tomatically switch on all the functions required for fast
windscreen and side window demisting/defrosting:
❒the climate control compressor is turned on when
weather conditions are suitable;
❒the air recirculation is turned off;

Lane change function
If you wish to signal a lane change, put the left lever in the
temporary position for less than half a second. The direc-
tion indicator on the side selected will flash five times and
then go out automatically.
“FOLLOW ME HOME” DEVICE
This device lights up the space in front of the vehicle for
a short time.
Activation
With the ignition key in the STOP position or extracted,
pull the lever towards the steering wheel and move it with-
in 2 minutes of the engine switching off.
Each time the lever is moved, the lights stay on for an ex-
tra 30 seconds up to a maximum of 210 seconds; then the
lights are switched off automatically.
Each time the lever is moved, warning light 3 on the in-
strument panel comes on and the corresponding mes-
sage will appear on the display (see “Warning lights and
messages”) for as long as the function remains on. The
warning light comes on when the lever is operated and
stays on until the function is automatically deactivated. Each
movement of the lever only increases the amount of time
the lights stay on.
Deactivation
Keep the lever pulled towards the steering wheel for more
than two seconds. DIRECTION INDICATORS fig. 46
Place the lever in the (stable) position:
❒up (position 1): activation of right direction indicator;
❒down (position 2): activation of left direction indicator.
The
¥or Îwarning lights will come on intermittently in
the instrument panel.
Direction indicators switch off automatically when the ve-
hicle is back in a straight line.
If you want the indicator to flash briefly to show that you
are about to change lane, move the lever up or down with-
out it clicking into position. When released, the lever will
return to its default position.

Each movement of the lever will correspond to a slight re-
duction in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the lever
held downwards will correspond to a continuous speed
reduction.
Switching the device off
The device can be switched off by the driver in the fol-
lowing ways:
❒turning the twist switch A to the OFF position;
❒switching off the engine.
Deactivating the function
The device can be de-activated by the driver in the fol-
lowing ways:
❒pressing the brake pedal when the device is adjusting
the speed;
❒pressing the clutch pedal when the device is adjusting
the speed;
❒pressing the button B – fig. 48 when the device is ad-
justing the speed (for versions/markets, where pro-
vided);
❒pressing the accelerator pedal; in this case, the sys-
tem is not really de-activated but the request for ac-
celeration takes priority. The cruise control is, how-
ever, active and you do not need to press button B -
fig. 48 to restore the previous conditions after accel-
erating. Restoring the memorized speed
If the device has been switched off, for example by press-
ing the brake or clutch pedal, the memorized speed can
be restored as follows:
❒accelerate gradually until reaching a speed approaching
the memorised speed;
❒engage the gear selected at the time of speed memo-
rizing;
❒press button B-fig. 48.
Increasing the memorized speed
This can be done in two ways:
❒by pressing the accelerator and then memorizing the
new speed reached;
or
❒by moving the lever upwards (+).
Each operation of the lever will correspond to a slight in-
crease in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the lever
upwards will correspond to a continuous speed increase.
Reducing the memorized speed
This can be done in two ways:
❒by turning the device off and then memorizing a new
speed;
or
❒by moving the lever downwards (–) until reaching the
new speed, which will be memorized automatically.
