NOTE When it rains, or when the
vehicle has been washed, the inside of
the lens sometimes becomes foggy, but
this does not indicate a functional
problem. When the lamp is switched
on, the heat will remove the fog.
However, if water gathers inside the
lamp, we recommend you to have
checked.
NOTE The bulbs of high intensity
discharge headlamps (if so equipped)
have the following characteristics:
While the headlamps are used, the
light will gradually become a
bluish-white colour.
The life of a bulb becomes shorter as
it is repeatedly turned on and off. When
the bulb approaches the end of its life,
the brightness may decrease, the bulb
may flicker, and the light may become
reddish in colour. If this occurs, have
the vehicle inspected by a Fiat
Dealership

NOTE The demister switch is not to
melt snow but to clear mist. Remove
snow before use of the demister switch.
NOTE To avoid unnecessary discharge
of the battery, do not use the rear
window demister during starting of the
engine or when the engine is not
running. Turn the demister off
immediately after the window is clear.
NOTE When cleaning the inside of the
rear window, use a soft cloth and wipe
gently along the heater wires, being
careful not to damage the wires.
NOTE Do not allow objects to touch
the inside of the rear window glass,
damaged or broken wires may result.
Customizing the automatic rear
window demister (for vehicles
equipped with the rear window
demister switch - Automatic type)
Function can be changed as desired,
as stated below.
Enable automatic rear window
demister — If the outside air
temperature drops below approx. 3 °C
(37 °F), the rear window demister
operates once automatically after the
engine starts. The heated mirrors will
also operate once automatically at the
same time.
Disable automatic rear window
demister — The rear window demister
does not operate automatically. The
heated mirrors will not operateautomatically as well.

indicator lamp flashes 3 times.
NOTE The factory setting is “Disable
automatic rear window demister”.
WARNING
67)For safety, make sure you have a clear
view through all windows.
68)Use of the recirculation position for an
extended time may cause the windows to
fog up.
IMPORTANT
22)The engine speed may increase when
the air conditioning is operating. With an
increased engine speed, an A/T vehicle will
creep to a greater degree than with a lower
engine speed. Fully depress the brake
pedal to prevent the vehicle from creeping.23)When using the air conditioning, the
idling speed may slightly increase as the air
conditioning compressor is switched on/off
automatically. While the vehicle with an
automatic transmission is stationary, fully
depress the brake pedal to prevent the
vehicle from creeping.
24)When using the mode selection dial
between the
andpositions, prevent
fogging by moving the air selection lever to
select outside air (refer to “Air selection
lever”).
25)Use of the
(recirculation) position
for extended time may cause the windows
to fog up.
26)If the outside air is dusty or otherwise
contaminated, or if high cooling
performance is desired, set air selection
lever to the
(recirculation) position
and the temperature control dial all the way
to the right. Switch to the
(outside)
position periodically to increase ventilation
so that the windows do not become
fogged up.
IMPORTANT
2)The system uses a coolant that is
compatible with the laws in force in the
countries where the vehicle is sold, R134a
(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.

WARNING
257)In the case of indistinct, overlapping
or missing lane demarcation lines, the
system may not assist the driver: in this
case the Driving Advisor will be inactive.
258)The Driving Advisor is not an
automatic driving system and does not
replace the driver in controlling the
trajectory of the car. The driver is personally
responsible for maintaining a sufficient level
of attention to the traffic and road
conditions and for controlling the trajectory
of the car safely.
259)If the camera loses its position due to
a load variation, the system may not work
temporarily to allow the camera to perform
an autocalibration.
IMPORTANT
157)LDW has its performance limitations.
Do not over-rely on the system.
158)LDW is not designed to lessen risks
associated with not looking ahead carefully
(attention drawn to something on the side,
absentmindedness, etc.) or poor visibility
caused by bad weather etc. Keep steering
your vehicle correctly and drive safely.
159)The system may not be able to detect
the lane correctly in the following
conditions. If required, set the LDW switch
to “OFF.”: when driving on a road whose
lane markings (white or yellow) are worn
out or smeared with dirt to an extent not
recognizable by the system; when lane
markings are vague, typically during a drive
in the rain, snow or fog, or when running
against the sun; when the vehicle is moving
in a place where lane markings are
interrupted, such as a toll booth entrance
and motorway junction; when running on a
road portion with incompletely removed old
lane markings, shadows, lingering snow,
truck-like puddles mistakable for lane
markings (especially after the rain when
road surface is reflecting light) or similar
confusing factors; when running in a lane
other than the cruising lane and passing
lane; when running beside a closed lane
section or in a provisional lane in a traffic
work zone; when running in an extremely
narrow lane;when the following distance between your
vehicle and a vehicle in front becomes
extremely reduced (especially when a
marking is hidden by a vehicle in front this
is running too close to the marking); when
entering a junction or other point of road
where lanes are laid out complicatedly;
when passing a road section where the
number of lanes increases/decreases or
multiple lanes are crossing each other;
when the lane is marked by double or
otherwise special lines; when driving on a
winding or rough road; when driving on a
slippery road covered by rain water, snow,
ice, etc.; when passing through a place
where the brightness suddenly changes,
like the inlet or outlet of a tunnel; when
turning steep curves; when the road
surface is reflecting the light shining from
the direction opposite to the running
direction; vehicle largely lurches when it is
running over steps or other irregularities of
the road surface; when the headlamp
illumination is inadequate because of
contaminated or deteriorated lenses or
improperly aimed headlamps; when the
vehicle is leaning much to one side due to
heavy luggage on it or improperly adjusted
tyre pressures; when oncoming vehicles’
headlamps shine the LDW camera; when
the vehicle is equipped with nonstandard
tyres (including excessively worn tyres and
temporary spare tyre), uses snow traction
device (tyre chains), or has nonspecified
components such as a modified
suspension; when the windscreen is
covered with rain water, snow, dust, etc.
