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

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.

WINDSCREEN
WIPER/REAR
WINDOW WIPER
WINDSCREEN WIPER /
WASHER
6) 7)
This operates only with the ignition key
turned to MAR.
Ring A fig. 31 has five different
positions:
windscreen wiper off
constant flick with 10 second
periods
“faster” flick (speed related)
LOcontinuous slow operation
HIcontinuous fast operation
MIST functionMove 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.
“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.
The wipers flick three times when the
stalk is released, after which, if the
control is in position
, the washing
cycle is concluded by one last flick after
a pause of approximately 6 seconds.
With the ring inLOorHIposition,
the smart washing function is not
carried out.
Raising the blades ("Service
position" function)
This function makes it possible to
replace the blades or protect them in
conditions of ice and/or snow.Function activation
turn the ring A to position(wiper
stopped);
turn the ignition key to the STOP
position;
after having turned the ignition key
to the STOP position, within two
minutes move the lever to the MIST
within two minutes for at least half a
second to activate the wiper for part
of a flick. This operation can be
repeated up to three times, in order to
move the blade to the most suitable
position for replacement;
turn the ignition key to the MAR
position to move the blades back
down.
The function will be deactivated when
the engine is started again, in case of a
wiping request or with the car moving
(speed above 5 km/h).
IMPORTANT Place the blades back in
contact with the windscreen before
activating the windscreen wiper again
and/or turning the ignition key to
MAR-ON.
IMPORTANT Before activating the
function, make sure, when starting the
engine, that the windscreen is free of
snow or ice.
