With the climate control system compressor
switched off, air cannot be introduced into the
passenger compartment that has a lower
temperature than the outside air; in this case the
symbol in the display will flash.The deactivation of the climate control system
compressor is memorised even after the engine has
stopped. To reactivate the climate control system
compressor, press the
or AUTO button again:
if you press AUTO, the other manual settings
will be cancelled.
IMPORTANT In order to preserve the battery
charge, the electronic climate control management
permits a higher ventilation speed than minimum
only if the engine is running at a speed greater than
750 rpm. When the speed drops below this
threshold – possible when setting off, for example –
the ventilation speed is automatically reduced to
minimum.
AIR DISTRIBUTION SELECTION
Press one or more of these buttons
/
/
to
manually select one of the seven possible air
distribution settings for the passenger
compartment:
Air flow to the windscreen and front side
window diffusers to demist/defrost them.Air flow to the front and rear footwell
diffusers. This air distribution allows the
passenger compartment to be warmed up
quickly.

The heater switches off automatically when the
required comfort conditions are achieved.
IMPORTANT The heater will not turn on if the
battery voltage is too low.

AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHT SENSOR (dusk
sensor)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It detects variations in brightness outside the
vehicle depending on the light sensitivity setting:
the greater the sensitivity, the less outside light
needed to activate the exterior lights being turned
on.
The sensitivity of the dusk sensor may be adjusted
by means of the "Setup menu" on the instrument
panel.Activation
Turn the ring nut to position
fig. 50: this turns
the side lights and the dipped headlights on
simultaneously and automatically depending on the
exterior brightness conditions.
The headlights can only be flashed with the sensor
on.
Deactivation
The dipped headlights will switch off followed after
approximately 10 seconds by the side lights, when
the sensor is deactivated.
The sensor is not capable of detecting the presence
of fog therefore, in these circumstances, the lights
have to be turned on manually.

released, automatically stopping the windscreen
wipers.IMPORTANT With the windscreen wipers in use, if
reverse gear is engaged, the rear window wiper is
automatically activated.

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, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
"Smart washing" functionfig. 52
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel (unstable
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 automatically 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.
RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The rain sensor A fig. 53 is located behind the
interior 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.The sensor has an adjustment range that varies
progressively from wiper still (no stroke) when the
windscreen is dry, to wiper at first continuous
speed (slow continuous operation) with intense
rain.

Activation
Move the right stalk down by one click.
The activation of the sensor is signalled by a
"stroke" to show that the command has been
acquired.
IMPORTANT Keep the glass in the sensor area
clean.
By turning ring nut F fig. 51 is it possible to increase
the sensitivity of the rain sensor to obtain a more
rapid variation between wiper still (no stroke)
when the windscreen is dry, to wiper at first
continuous speed (slow continuous operation).
The increasing of the rain sensor sensitivity is also
signalled by a stroke of the wipers.
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.
Deactivation
Turn the ignition key to STOP.
At the next start-up (key at MAR-ON), the sensor
will not be reactivated even if the stalk is at B
fig. 51. To activate the sensor, move the stalk to
position A or C and then back to position B.
Rain sensor activation will be indicated by at least
one wiper “stroke” even if the windscreen is dry.
Do not activate the rain sensor when
washing the car in an automatic car
wash.Make sure the device is switched off if
there is ice on the windscreen.
WARNING
Make sure the device is switched off
whenever the windscreen is being
cleaned.
REAR WINDOW WASHER/WIPER
It can be operated only with the ignition key turned
to MAR-ON. The function stops when the stalk is
released.
Turning the stalk ring nut A fig. 54 from position
to position
will operate the rear window
wiper as follows:
❒in intermittent mode when the rear window
wiper is not operating;
❒in synchronous mode (at half the speed of the
windscreen wiper) when the windscreen wiper
is operating;
❒in continuous mode with reverse gear engaged
and the control active.
