Operation
22)
5) 6)
Ring nut 1 fig. 28 can be set to the
following positions:
windscreen wiper off
slow intermittent operation
fast intermittent operation
LOWslow continuous operation
HIGHfast continuous operation.
Move the stalk upwards (unstable
position) to activate the MIST function:operation is limited to the time for which
the stalk is held in this position. When
released, the stalk will return to its
default position and the windscreen
wiper will be stopped. This function is
useful to remove small deposits of dust
from the windscreen, or morning dew.
IMPORTANT This function does not
activate the windscreen washer;
windscreen washer fluid will not
therefore be sprayed onto the
windscreen. To spray windscreen
washer fluid onto the windscreen, the
washing function must be used.
With the ring nut 1 fig. 28 in positionO,
the windscreen wiper is not activated.
In position
, the pause time
between the strokes of the windscreen
wiper is about 10 seconds,
independently of the vehicle speed. In
position
, the pause time
between two strokes is set according to
the vehicle speed: when the speed
increases, the time between two
strokes decreases. In positionLOWor
HIGHthe windscreen wiper moves
continuously, i.e. without a pause
between two strokes.
“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) to operate the
windscreen washer.
When the stalk is held pulled for longer

than half a second, the windscreen
wiper is moved with active control.
When the driver releases the stalk, the
windscreen wiper makes three strokes.
Afterwards, if the control is in position
O, the washing cycle is concluded by
one last stroke after a 6 second pause.
If the position isLOWorHIGH, the
washing function is not carried out.
IMPORTANT If the stalk is activated for
less than half a second, only the
windscreen washer jet is activated. Do
not prolong the activation of the "Smart
Washing" function for more than 30
seconds. Do not activate the
windscreen washer control when the
reservoir is empty.
“Service Position” function
This function makes it possible to
replace the wipers or protect them in
conditions of ice and/or snow.
It can only be activated after turning off
the vehicle.
The Service Position can be explicitly
requested by the driver within two
minutes of turning off the vehicle, when
the wipers have correctly returned to
the parking position.
The driver can enable the function by
turning the ring nut to positionOand
moving the stalk upwards, to the MIST
position, more than three times. Theactivations are used to position the
wipers as preferred. The function is
deactivated when the vehicle is turned
on, with a wiping request or when the
vehicle is moving (speed above 5
Km/h).
IMPORTANT Make sure, when turning
on the vehicle, that the windscreen is
free of snow or ice before turning the
ignition key.
RAIN SENSOR(where provided)
7) 8)
The sensor will be activated when the
ignition device is turned to MAR, and
will be deactivated in the STOP
position.
This is a device located behind the
interior rear view mirrorfig. 29, in
contact with the windscreen and can
measure the amount of rain and,
consequently, manage the automatic
wiping mode of the windscreen in
accordance with the amount of water
on the screen. The rain sensor will be
activated when the ignition device is
turned to MAR. If no rain is detected,
the wiper will not carry out any strokes.
If it is raining, the windscreen wiper
moves according to the amount of rain
measured by the sensor.Activation/deactivation: use the
display Menu or theUconnect™
system (where provided).
WARNING
22)If the window needs to be cleaned,
make sure the device is deactivated or the
key is on STOP.
IMPORTANT
5)Never use the windscreen wipers 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
subsequently restored, even after restarting
the engine, contact a Fiat Dealership.

DIFFUSERS
Adjustable air diffusers
They are located at the sides
fig. 30 and at the centre fig. 31 of the
dashboard.To use them:
adjust the central device 1 to direct
the air flow where required;
turn wheel 2 to adjust / close the air
flow.
Fixed air vents
In addition, the fixed vents 3 fig. 30,
which direct the air upwards and
towards the side windows, are
available. The system is completed by
the fixed central vent, located at the
bottom of the windscreen and by the
vents, which direct the air towards the
feet of the front and rear passengers.

9 - internal air recirculation on/off button;
10 - AUTO function activation button (automatic operation).
Stop/Start(where provided)
The automatic climate control system manages the Stop&Start system (engine off when vehicle speed is equal to 0 km/h) to
ensure adequate comfort inside the vehicle.
In particular, the climate control system deactivates the Stop/Start if:
the climate control system is in AUTO mode (LED on the button switched on) and the temperature conditions inside the
vehicle are far from a comfort temperature;
the climate control system is in MAX A/C;
the climate control system is in the MAX-DEF status.
When the Stop&Start system is active (engine off and vehicle speed equal to 0 km/h), the climate control system will request
restarting of the engine if the inside temperature conditions rapidly deteriorate (or if the user requests maximum cooling – MAX
A/C – or quick demisting – MAX-DEF).
With the Stop&Start system on (engine off and vehicle speed equal to 0 km/h), the flow is reduced as much as possible, to
keep the compartment comfort conditions for longer.
The climate control system control unit attempts to manage the decreased comfort caused by stopping the engine as far as
possible (switching off the compressor and engine coolant pump). It is anyway possible to prioritise the operation of the climate
control system, deactivating the Stop/Start system by pressing the
button, located on the central dashboard panel.
NOTE In particularly severe climate conditions it is recommended to limit the use of the Stop&Start system to prevent the
compressor from continuously switching on and off, with consequent rapid misting of the windows and accumulation of
humidity with unpleasant smells in the passenger compartment.
NOTE When the Stop&Start system is on (engine off and vehicle at a standstill), the automatic recirculation management is
turned off always taking air in from outside, to reduce the probability of the windows misting up (as the compressor is off).
IMPORTANT
1)The system uses a coolant that is compatible with the laws in force in the countries where the vehicle is sold, R134a or R1234yf (indicated
on a specific plate in the engine compartment). The use of other coolants affects the efficiency and condition of the system. Also the
compressor coolants used must be compatible with the indicated coolant.
