GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
In-depth knowledge of your new vehicle
starts here.
The handbook that you are reading
simply and directly explains how it
is made and how it works.
That’s why we advise you to read it
seated comfortably on board, so that
you can see immediately what is
described here for yourself.DASHBOARD ................................. 7

Should a new remote control be
necessary, go to a Fiat Dealership,
taking an ID document and the car
ownership documents.
SAFE LOCK DEVICE(for versions/markets, where provided)
2)It prevents the opening of the doors
from inside the passenger
compartment, serving as an obstacle to
break-in attempts (e.g. broken
window). We recommend that you
activate the device each time you park
your car.
Device activation: double press the
button of the key. The direction
indicators flash 3 times and the LED
above the internal button flashes to
indicate that the device has been
activated
fig. 4. The device does not
switch on if one or more doors are not
properly shut.Device deactivation: press button
of the key or rotate the ignition key to
MAR.
WARNING
1)Press button B fig. 3 only with the key
away from your body, specifically from your
eyes and from objects which could get
damaged (e.g. your clothes). Do not leave
the key unattended, to prevent people,
especially children, from inadvertently
pressing the button.
2)Once the safe lock system is engaged, it
is impossible to open the doors from
inside the car. Therefore, before getting out
of the car check that there is no-one left
on board.

HEATING AND VENTILATION
Controls

B - air recirculation on/off button: 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 steaming up;
C - fan activation/adjustment knob (0 = fan off / = fan speed) / 1-2-3-4 = ventilation speed;
D - heated rear window on/off button;

STOP/START SYSTEM
HANDLING
The dual-zone automatic climate
control manages the Stop/Start system
(engine off and vehicle at a standstill)
in order to guarantee sufficient comfort
inside the vehicle.
IMPORTANT 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.
IMPORTANT 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).
WARNING
19)It is inadvisable to use internal air
recirculation when the outside temperature
is low, since the windows could mist up
rapidly.
WARNING
5)The climate control system detects the
passenger compartment temperature
using a mean radiant temperature sensor
located in the interior rear view mirror
and protected by a specific cover.
Obstructing the field of view of this sensor
with any object could cause the climate
control system to operate with less than
optimal efficiency.
WARNING
2)The system uses R134a coolant which
does not pollute the environment in the
event of accidental leakage. Under no
circumstances use R12 fluid, which is
incompatible with the components of the
system.
EXTERIOR LIGHTS
The ignition key has to be in the MAR
position for the exterior lights to come
on.
DAYTIME RUNNING
LIGHTS (DRL)
"Daytime Running Lights"
(for versions/markets, where provided)
20) 21)With the ignition key at MAR and ring
nut A fig. 25 turned toOthe daytime
running lights are activated
automatically; the other lights and
interior lighting remain off.

"FOLLOW ME HOME"
DEVICE
This allows the space in front of the
vehicle to be lit for a set time.
Activation
The lights turning on time is adjustable
and programmable interacting via
the Setup Menu of the instrument
panel.
It is possible to choose between 0, 30,
60 up to 90 seconds. The device is
activated automatically after turning off
the car and having rotated the ring
nut A fig. 25 to positionO.
It is also possible (if the program
described above is set to "0" seconds)
to set the headlights start time by
pulling the left stalk toward you once or
more times (same procedure to activate
the main beam lights). In this case it is
possible to choose between 0, 30,
60, 90 up to a maximum of 210
seconds.
Each time the stalk is operated, the
warning light
on the instrument
panel switches on. The display shows a
message and the time set for the
function. The
warning light comes
on when the stalk is first moved and
stays on until the function is
automatically deactivated.
Deactivation
This function is deactivated by
switching on the headlights, the side
lights or bringing the ignition device to
MAR.
WARNING
20)The daytime running lights are an
alternative to the dipped beam headlights
for driving in countries where it is
compulsory to have lights on during the
day; where it is not compulsory, the use of
daytime running lights is permitted.
21)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.
WINDOW CLEANING
WINDSCREEN
WIPER/WASHER
6) 7)This operates only with the ignition key
turned to MAR.
Ring nut A fig. 26 has four different
positions:
windscreen wiper off.
intermittent operation.
continuous slow operation.
continuous fast operation.
Move the stalk upwards (unstable
position) to limit operation 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 automatically
stopped.
