INTERNAL AIR
RECIRCULATION
ACTIVATION
Turn D knob to
.
It is advisable to switch the internal
air recirculation on whilst queuing
or in tunnels to prevent the
introduction 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.
IMPORTANT Internal air
recirculation makes it possible to
reach the required heating or
cooling conditions more quickly
depending on the mode selected.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. Before
summer, have the system checked
at a Fiat Dealership.NoteThe system uses R134a coolant
which does not pollute the environment
in the event of accidental leakage.
Never use R12 fluid, which is not
compatible with the system
components.
AUTOMATIC
CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
GENERAL
INFORMATION
The automatic climate control
system adjusts the temperature,
the quantity and the distribution of
the air in the passenger
compartment.
The temperature control is based
on the "equivalent temperature": in
other words, the system
continuously works to keep the
comfort level inside the vehicle
constant and to compensate for
possible variations in outside
conditions, including the sun's rays
detected by a dedicated sensor.
The automatically controlled
parameters and functions are:
❒air temperature at the vents;
❒air distribution at the vents;
❒fan speed (continuous variation of the
air flow);

Direction indicators switch off
automatically when the vehicle is
back in a straight line.
Lane change function
If you wish to signal a lane change,
place the left stalk in the unstable
position for less than half a second.
The direction indicator on the side
selected will flash five times and
then switch off automatically.
“FOLLOW ME HOME”
DEVICE
This device allows the illumination
of the space in front of the vehicle
for a preset time.Activation
With ignition key at OFF or
removed, pull the stalk towards the
steering wheel fig. 62 and move it
within 2 minutes after the engine
stops.
Each time the stalk is moved, the
lights stay on for an extra 30
seconds up to a maximum of 210
seconds; then the lights are
switched off automatically.
The warning light
on the
instrument panel will light up and
the corresponding message will
appear in the display (see “Warning
lights and messages” section) for
as long as the function is activated.The warning light comes on when
the stalk is operated and stays
on until the function is automatically
deactivated.
Each movement of the stalk only
increases the amount of time the
lights stay on.
Deactivation
Keep the stalk pulled towards the
steering wheel fig. 62 for more than
two seconds.
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.
The sensitivity of the dusk sensor is
adjusted by means of the "Setup
menu" of the display.

62F1A0069
51

Activation
Turn the ring nut to position
fig.
63: this turns the side lights and the
dipped beam headlights on
simultaneously and automatically
depending on the exterior
brightness conditions.
Deactivation
On the sensor’s deactivation
command, the main beam
headlights will switch off, followed
by the side lights after
approximately 10 seconds.
The sensor is not capable of
detecting the presence of fog.
Therefore, in these circumstances,
the lights have to be turned on
manually.
WARNING
23) The daytime running lights are
an alternative to dipped beam
headlights for driving during the
daytime. They are compliant in
countries where is it obligatory to
have lights on during the day
and permitted in those where it is
not obligatory. Daytime running
lights cannot replace dipped
beam headlights when driving at
night or through tunnels. The
use of daytime running lights is
governed by the highway code of
the country in which you are
driving. Comply with legal
requirements.
24) The system is based on
recognition via a camera.
Particular environmental
conditions may affect the correct
recognition of traffic conditions.
Therefore, the driver is always
responsible for the correct use of
the main beam headlights in
compliance with the laws in force.
Rotate the ring nut to the
fig.
58 position to deactivate the
automatic function.25) Should the camera tilt too much
due to a load variation, the system
may not work temporarily to allow
the camera to perform an
autocalibration.

WINDOW CLEANING
IN BRIEF
The right lever fig. 64 controls
activation of the windscreen
wiper/washer and, where
provided, activation of headlight
washers and rain sensor.
This operates only with the
ignition key turned to MAR-ON.
WINDSCREEN
WIPER/WASHER
The right hand lever can take up
five different positions:
Awindscreen wiper off.
Bintermittent operation.
With the stalk in position B, turn
ring nut F to select one of four
different speeds for the intermittent
operation mode:
very slow intermittent operation.
--slow intermittent operation.
---medium intermittent operation.
----fast intermittent operation.
Ccontinuous slow operation.
Dcontinuous fast operation.
Etemporary fast operation (unstable
position).
Temporary fast operation in position
E is limited to the time that the
lever is manually held in this
position. The lever returns to
position A when it is released,
automatically stopping the
windscreen wipers.
3)
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 fig. 65.
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.
The wiper stops working three
strokes after the stalk is released.
A further stroke after approximately
6 seconds completes the cycle.

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 fig. 64
Move the right lever down by one
click (position B).
The activation of the sensor is
signalled by a "stroke" to show that
the command has been acquired.
Turn the control F to increase
the rain sensor sensitivity.
The increasing of the rain sensor
sensitivity is signalled by a "stroke"
to show that 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.
Deactivation fig. 64
Move the lever from position B or
turn the ignition key to OFF. The
next time the vehicle is started
(ignition key in ON position), the
sensor is not reactivated even if the
lever is still in position B. To activate
the sensor, move the lever to
position A or C and then back to
position B or turn the ring nut
for adjusting the sensitivity. Rain
sensor activation will be indicated
by at least one wiper “stroke” even
if the windscreen is dry.
The rain sensor is capable of
recognising the difference between
day and night and making the
necessary adjustments
automatically.
26)
HEADLIGHT WASHERS
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
The headlight washers are
“retractable”, i.e.: they are located
inside the front bumper and they
are activated when (with dipped
beams on) the windscreen washer
is operated.
IMPORTANT Check the correct
condition and cleanliness of nozzles
at regular intervals.
IMPORTANT
3) Do not use the screen wiper to
remove layers of snow or ice
from the windscreen. In such
conditions, the windscreen wiper
may be subjected to excessive
stress and the motor cut-out
switch, which prevents operation
for a few seconds, may intervene.
If operation is not restored,
contact a Fiat Dealership.

WARNING
34) Once the dead lock system is
engaged it is impossible to open
the doors from inside the vehicle.
Therefore, before engaging the
system check that there is no one
left inside. If the remote control
battery is flat, the system can be
disengaged only by inserting
the key metal insert in either of
the door locks as described
previously: in this case the device
remains active only for the rear
doors.
35) Before leaving the vehicle
parked with sliding doors open,
always check that the latch is
engaged.
36) Do not move the vehicle with
side doors open.37) Before setting off after parking
or before moving the vehicle in
any way, ensure that the
footboard is fully stowed away. As
the movement of the platform is
linked to that of the sliding side
door, thewarning light in the
instrument panel comes on if it is
not fully retracted in the same
way as when the rear doors are
not shut.
38) This spring loaded system has
activation forces that were
designed for optimum comfort.
Accidental knocks or a strong
gust of wind may release the
springs and close the doors
spontaneously.
39) With the doors opened to 180
degrees, no locking system is
effective. Do not use this opening
with the vehicle parked on a
gradient or when it is windy.
40) It is forbidden to drive the
vehicle with the footboard open.
41) Do not use the retracted
footboard for getting up or down
the load compartment.42) Make sure that the footboard is
suitably locked by the provided
retaining systems before, after
and during its use. An incomplete
opening or closing might cause
an improper movement of the
footboard with risks arising for the
operator and external users.
43) The footboard lightly projects
from the vehicle even if retracted;
therefore, when rear parking
sensors are provided, their
operating range is lightly reduced.
IMPORTANT
5) The footboard presence may
reduce the ramp approach angles;
it is therefore recommended, in
case of a very steep ramp, to
be very careful in order not to
damage the footboard.
