CLIMATE CONTROL
Advice for use
In some cases (air conditioning off, air
recirculation on, fan speed at zero or
too low, etc.), the vehicle windows and
windscreen may mist up. In case of
misting, use the MAX DEF function to
eliminate it, then, to prevent it from
re-forming, use the air conditioning in
automatic mode.
Vehicles with ECOMODE
Once activated, ECOMODE can reduce
the air conditioning performance. See
the “Driving suggestions” paragraph in
the “Starting and driving” chapter.
54) 55)
2)
Consumption
Greater fuel consumption is normal
(especially in urban traffic) when the air
conditioning is in use.
For cars with air conditioning without
automatic mode, turn off the system
when you no longer need it.
Some advice for reducing fuel
consumption to a minimum and helping
safeguard the environment:
while driving, keep the diffuser open
and the windows closed;
if the vehicle has been parked in hot
weather or in the sun, aerate the
passenger compartment to let out the
hot air before starting off.

Irregular operation
Depending on the versions, when the
system detects irregular operation, an
appropriate message will appear on the
instrument panel along with the alarm
warning light
and an acoustic
signal going off every 5 seconds.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
56)This function is an auxiliary driving aid
with acoustic signals to indicate that you
are approaching an obstacle while
manoeuvring. However, this does exempt
the driver from normal driving alertness nor
from liability in the event of an accident
while manoeuvring. The driver must always
be ready to face any unexpected situations
that could occur when driving. Before
starting a manoeuvre, specifically check for
any moving obstacles (such as a child,
animal, bicycle, stone, pole, etc.) or
obstacles in the blind spot that are too
small to be detected.
57)Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. When
performing these operations, always make
sure that there are no other people
(especially children) or animals on the route
you want to take. The parking sensors are
an aid for the driver, but the driver must
never allow their attention to lapse during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even
those executed at low speeds.
IMPORTANT
13)In the event of a collision while
manoeuvring the vehicle (e.g. hitting a
bollard, raised pavement or any other street
furniture), the vehicle could be damaged
(e.g. deformed axle). To prevent any risk of
accident, have the vehicle checked at a Fiat
Dealership.
14)The sensors must be clean of mud,
dirt, snow or ice in order for the system to
operate correctly. Be careful not to scratch
or damage the sensors while cleaning
them. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The sensors should be washed
using clean water with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary. When using special
washing equipment such as high pressure
jets or steam cleaning, clean the sensors
very quickly keeping the jet more than
10 cm away.
15)Only have the bumpers repainted or
any retouches to the paintwork in the area
of the sensors carried out by a Fiat
Dealership. Incorrect paint application
could affect the Radar parking operation.
REAR CAMERA
Operation
58)
16)
When in reverse, video camera 1
fig. 104 located on the tailgate or on the
rear swing door, depending on the
version, lets you view the area behind
the vehicle on the inside rear-view
mirror 2 fig. 105 or on the multi-media
display panel 3 fig. 106, along with one
or two outlines 4 fig. 107 and 5
fig. 107 (moving and stationary).
NOTE Check that the rear view video
camera is not covered up (dirt, mud,
snow, condensation, etc.).
104T36620
57
NOTE Depending on the versions,
adjust a few of the parameters on the
multi-media display panel 3 fig. 106.
Moving shape 4 (depending on the
vehicle): is represented in blue on the
multi-media display panel 3fig. 106.It
indicates the vehicle's trajectory
according to the steering wheel
position.Stationary shape 5: the stationary
shape consists of coloured references
A, B and C fig. 107 that indicate the
distance behind the vehicle:
A (red) about 30 centimetres from the
vehicle;
B (yellow) about 70 centimetres from
the vehicle;
C (green) about 150 centimetres
from the vehicle.
This shape remains stationary and
indicates the vehicle's trajectory if the
wheels are aligned.
This system is initially used by making
use of one or more shapes (moving for
the trajectory, stationary for the
distance). When you get to the red
zone, use the bumper representation to
stop accurately.IMPORTANT The display will show a
reversed image. The outlines are a
representation projected onto a flat
surface. Do not consider this
information if it is superimposed onto a
vertical object or an object on the
ground. The items that appear on the
edge of the screen can be distorted. If
the light is too bright (snow, vehicle is in
sunshine) the video camera's vision can
be disrupted. When the rear doors are
open or not closed properly, the
dedicated message appears and,
depending on the vehicle, the video
camera image disappears.
WARNING
58)Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. While
carrying out these manoeuvres, always
make sure that no people (especially
children) or animals are in the area
concerned. The camera is an aid for the
driver, but the driver must never allow
his/her attention to lapse during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even those
executed at low speeds. Always keep a
slow speed, so as to promptly brake in the
case of obstacles.

exposed to the risk of being injured either
directly by the moving window or through
objects getting caught or hit by it. When
leaving the vehicle (equipped with
mechanical key with remote control),
always remove the key from the ignition
device to prevent accidental operation of
the electric windows from being a hazard
for those still on board.
60)When you close the windows, check
that no part of a body (arm, hand, etc.) is
sticking out from the vehicle. Danger of
serious injury.
