(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. 56
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.

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.
WARNING
33)Streaks of water may cause
unnecessary blade movements.
WARNING
4)Never use the windscreen 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.

Turn the knob D to the maximum
heating position (knob at red
sector);warm air will emerge (with the
engine warmed up), from the rear
footwell outlets (located under the seats
in the 2nd and 3rd row for Panorama
versions and the grille on the left wheel
arch side for Combi versions).
ADDITIONAL REAR
CLIMATE CONTROL
(Panorama and Combi)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Panorama and Combi versions
are equipped with a main heating/air
conditioning system plus an additional
system (available on request) with
controls in the roof panel trim above the
second row of seats fig. 64. Button F
fig. 65 on the control panel must be
enabled for operation; the air
conditioning only works if the main air
conditioner is on.
When the knob D is placed in the
fully cold position (control in blue sector)
cold air comes out the vents in the
ceiling.
Turn the knob D to the maximum
heating position (knob at red
sector);warm air will emerge (with the
engine warmed up), from the rear
footwell outlets (located under the seats
in the 2nd and 3rd row for Panorama
versions and the grille on the left wheel
arch side for Combi versions).
If the selector knob D is placed in
the intermediate positions, the air
will be distributed between the vents in
the ceiling and the rear footwell vents,
varying the temperature.
IMPORTANT If the compressor on the
main air conditioner control is turned on
(operation of button E), even if the
additional air conditioner fan is in
position 0, the 1st speed will
automatically be activated to prevent
ice formation, with possible damage to
the component.
WARNING
34)The heater burns fuel in the same way
as the engine, though to a lesser extent. To
prevent poisoning and asphyxiation, the
supplementary heater must never be
turned on, not even for short periods, in
closed environments such as a garage or
workshops without extraction fans for
the exhaust gases.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE
ENGINE OIL LEVEL
GAUGE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The gauge provides a graphic indication
of the level of oil in the engine.
When the ignition key is turned to the
MAR position, the display fig. 79 -
fig. 80 shows the oil level by turning
on/off five symbols.The gradual switching off of the
symbols indicates a decreasing oil level.
Four or five symbols light up to indicate
a sufficient level of oil in the sump. If
the fifth symbol is not lit, this does not
indicate a fault or that insufficient oil
is present in the sump.
If the oil level is lower than the minimum
required value, the display shows a
dedicated message indicating minimum
engine oil level and the need for a
top-up.
IMPORTANT To find out the correct oil
quantity, always check using the
dipstick (see paragraph “Checking
levels” in the section “Maintenance and
care”).
After a few seconds, the symbol display
indicating the amount of engine oil
disappears and:
When the next scheduled servicing
intervention is approaching, the time
to the next service is displayed and the
õ symbol lights up on the display.
When the service date is reached, the
display shows a dedicated message;
Later on, if the time for changing the
engine oil is getting close, the distance
until the next oil change will appear
on the display. When the service interval
has expired a dedicated warning will
be shown on the display.CONTROL BUTTONS
