SWITCHING ON THE CLIMATE CONTROLSYSTEM The system can be activated by pressing any of the buttons; it is, however, advisable to set the desiredtemperatures on the display, then press the AUTO button.The climate control system allows you to customise the temperatures requested (driver side andpassenger side) with a maximum difference of 7°C. The climate control system compressor works only with the engine running and an outsidetemperature of above 4°C. AUTOMATIC OPERATION OF THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM (AUTOfunction) Press the AUTO button; the system will automatically adjust: ❒
the amount of air introduced into the passenger compartment;
❒
the distribution of the air in the passengercompartment;

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. 36: 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.

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. 38
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. 39 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. 37 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. 37.
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. 40 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.
With the windscreen wiper on and reverse gear
engaged the rear window wiper is activated in
continuous mode. Pushing the stalk towards the
dashboard (unstable position) will activate the rear
window washer jet.
