USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Each time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the car are given, these must be understood as
regarding an occupant in the driver's seat. Special cases not complying with this rule will be specified as appropriate in the text.
The figures in the Owner Handbook are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do
not correspond to the actual arrangement of your car. In addition, the Handbook has been conceived considering vehicles with
steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on vehicles with steering wheel on the right side, the position or
construction of some controls is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure.
To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner Handbook.
Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further there is a key
for getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is in any case a textual indication of the
current chapter at the side of each even page.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
While reading this Owner Handbook you will find a series ofWARNINGSto prevent procedures that could damage your
vehicle.
There are alsoPRECAUTIONSthat must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use of the components of the vehicle,
which could cause accidents or injuries.
Therefore, allWARNINGSandPRECAUTIONSmust always be followed carefully.
WARNINGSandPRECAUTIONSare recalled in the text with the following symbols:
personal safety;
vehicle safety;
environmental protection.
NOTE These symbols, when necessary, are indicated besides the title or at the end of the line and are followed by a number.
That number recalls the corresponding warning at the end of the relevant section.

Electric adjustment
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The mirrors can only be adjusted with
the ignition key at MAR.
To carry out the adjustment, proceed as
follows:
use device A fig. 23 to select the
required mirror (right or left);
move device A to position B and
manipulate it to adjust the left door
mirror;
move device A to position D and
manipulate it to adjust the right door
mirror.
Once you have finished the adjustment,
return device A to intermediate locking
position C.Electric folding
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The mirrors can be folded away
electrically only if the ignition key is in
the MAR position.
Bring device A to position E fig. 23to
fold the mirrors in the closed position.
Bring device A to position C to move
the mirrors back to the driving position.
Automatic activation
Activating the central door locking
system from outside the vehicle
automatically folds the mirrors. They
return to the driving position when the
ignition device is turned to the MAR
position.
If the mirrors were folded in using
device A, they can only be returned to
the driving position using the same
device.
Courtesy light
Electric rear view mirrors incorporate
LED courtesy lights which come on
when the mirrors are folded. The lights
remain on for the same time as the
courtesy lights inside the car.Activation/deactivation of the
function
TheUconnect™system menu can be
used to activate/deactivate the electric
mirror folding function (the default
setting for the function is “Active”). For
further information refer to the contents
of the supplements available online.

START&STOP SYSTEM
CONTROL
The dual zone automatic climate control
manages the Start&Stop system
(engine off and vehicle at a standstill) in
order to guarantee sufficient comfort
inside the passenger compartment.
IMPORTANT In particularly severe
climate conditions it is recommended to
limit the use of the Start&Stop 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 Start&Stop
system is on (engine off and car 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.
CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM
The system uses a coolant that is
compatible with the laws in force in the
countries where the vehicle is sold,
R134a or R1234yf. When charging,
only use the gas indicated on the
dedicated plate in the engine
compartment fig. 26.The use of other coolants affects the
efficiency and condition of the system.
The lubricant used for the compressor
is also strictly linked to the type of
cooling gas: contact a Fiat Dealership.

RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
22)8) 9)
This is located behind the rear-view
mirror in contact with the windscreen.
The sensor is activated with ignition key
turned to the MAR position, while it is
deactivated with the key turned to
STOP position.
The sensor 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 (see the
“Automatic Wiping” paragraph).
AUTOMATIC WIPING
Activation
Go to the “Settings” menu of the
Uconnect™system (for more
information see the supplement
available online) and turn the ring A to
position
or.
Inhibition
If the ignition key is turned to STOP,
leaving the ring A in position
or,
when the engine is next started (ignition
device at MAR), no wiping cycle
occurs for system protection reasons.Deactivation
Go to the “Settings” menu of the
Uconnect™system (for more
information see the supplement
available online) and turn the ring A to a
position other than intermittent (
or
).
REAR WINDOW WIPER /
WASHER
10)
This operates only with the ignition key
turned to MAR.
The ring B fig. 32 can be set to the
following positions:
rear window wiper stopped
intermittent operation
continuous operation, without
pausing between two strokes.The rear window wiper can be
activated in the following ways:
intermittent(with a two-second
pause between two flicks), when ring B
is in position
and the windscreen
wiper is not in operation;
synchronous(half frequency as
the windscreen wiper), when ring B is in
position
and the wiper is working or
when ring B is in position
, reverse
gear is engaged and the windscreen
wiper is working;
continuouswhen ring nut B is in
position
or when reverse gear is
engaged.
Push the stalk towards the dashboard
(rocking position) to activate the rear
window washer jet. Keep pushing the
lever to automatically activate both
the rear window washer jet and the rear
window wiper with a single movement.
Releasing the stalk will activate three
strokes, as described for the
windscreen wiper. If the position is
(rear window wiper stopped), after a
6 second pause, the washing cycle
is completed by a single stroke. The
smart wash cycle will not be performed
if the ring B is in position
.
If washer lasting longer than 30
seconds is needed, the washing cycle
will be inhibited as described in the
“Smart washing” paragraph.
