irregular operation of the engine.

Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel for
motor vehicles in compliance with the European
specification EN590. The use of other products
or mixtures may damage the engine beyond

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR

The GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) system advises the

the instrument panel fig. 9.

Through the GSI, the driver is notified that changing
gear will allow a reduction in fuel consumption.

When the SHIFT UP icon (

SHIFT) is shown on the
display, the GSI is advising the driver to engage a
higher gear, while the SHIFT DOWN (

SHIFT) icon

advises the driver to engage a lower gear.
The indication on the instrument panel remains on

until the driver changes gear or the driving
conditions return to a situation where changing gear
is not required to reduce consumption.

TRIP COMPUTER

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Trip computer is used to display information on
car operation when the key is turned to MAR-ON.

This function allows you to define two separate trips
called “Trip A” and “Trip B” where the car's
"complete journeys" are monitored in a reciprocally
independent manner.

Both journeys can be reset (reset - start of a new
journey).

“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
❒ Outside temperature (for versions/markets, where

provided)

❒ Range
❒ Distance travelled A
❒ Average consumption A
❒ Instantaneous consumption
❒ Average speed A
❒ Trip time A (driving time).

“Trip B” may be used to display the figures relating
to:

❒ Distance travelled B
❒ Average consumption B
❒ Average speed B
❒ Trip time B (driving time).

following cases:

❒ range value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
❒ car parked with engine running for a long period.

IMPORTANT The range value variation can be
affected by several factors: driving style, type of route
(motorway, urban, mountain roads, etc.), conditions
of use (load, tyre pressures, etc.). Trip planning
must therefore take the above into account.

Average consumption

Shows the approximate average fuel consumption
since the start of the new journey.

Instantaneous consumption

This value shows the fuel consumption. The value is
constantly updated. The display will show “----”
if the car is parked with the engine running.

SYMBOLS

Special coloured labels have been attached near to or
on some of the components of your car. These
labels bear symbols that remind you of the
precautions to be taken with regard to that
particular component.

Under the bonnet there is also a label that
summarises all the symbols.

THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM

To further protect your car from theft, it has been
fitted with an engine immobilising system. It is
automatically activated when the ignition key is
removed.

There is an electronic device in each key which can
identify the signal emitted, when the engine is
started, from an aerial built into the ignition switch.
The signal is the "password", different every time the
vehicle is started, through which the control unit
recognises the key and enables starting.

GETTING TO
KNOW YOUR CAR

SAFETY

STARTING AND
DRIVING

OPERATION

Each time the vehicle is started turning the ignition
key to MAR-ON, the Fiat CODE system control unit
sends an acknowledgement code to the engine
control unit to deactivate the immobiliser. The code
is sent only if the Fiat CODE system control unit
has acknowledged the code received from the key.

Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP, the Fiat
CODE system deactivates the functions of the
engine management control unit.

If, during starting, the code is not correctly
recognised, the
instrument panel.

In this case, turn the key to STOP and then to
MAR-ON; if it is still locked, try again with the other
keys that come with the vehicle. Contact a Fiat
Dealership if you still cannot start the engine.

SAFE LOCK DEVICE

(for versions/markets, where provided)

This safety device inhibits the operation of the
interior door handles and the door locking/unlocking
button.

It thereby prevents the opening of the doors from
inside the passenger compartment, serving as an
obstacle to break-in attempts (e.g. broken window).

We recommend that you activate the device each
time you park your car.

Activating the device

The device is enabled on all the doors by quickly
double-pressing the

button on the key.

The direction indicators flash 3 times and the LED
above the

fig. 17 button flashes to indicate that
the device has been activated. If one or more of the
doors are not closed correctly, the device will not
activate, thus preventing a person from getting stuck
inside the passenger compartment by entering the
car through, and then closing, the open door.

Deactivating the device

The device deactivates automatically:
❒ carrying out the door unlocking operation

(pressing the

button on the key with remote
control or turning the metal insert of the key
without remote control in the driver side door
lock);

❒ by turning the ignition key to the MAR position.

WARNING

Once the safe lock system is engaged, it

is impossible to open the doors from
inside the car.Therefore, before getting out of
the car check that there is no-one left on board.

DESCRIPTION

The automatic dual zone climate control system
regulates the air temperatures in the passenger
compartment in two zones: driver side and
passenger side.

The system maintains comfort inside the passenger
compartment and compensates for possible
variations in external climate conditions.

The climate control system can recognise extremely
cold (or extremely hot) conditions in the passenger
compartment and consequently provide optimal
management of the system’s capabilities.

Note The reference temperature is 22°C for
optimal comfort management.

The automatically controlled parameters and
functions are:

❒ air temperature at the driver/front passenger side

vents;

❒ air distribution at the driver/front passenger side

vents;

❒ fan speed (continuous variation of the air flow);
❒ compressor engagement (for cooling/dehumidifying

the air);
❒ air recirculation.
All these functions can be adjusted manually by

operating the system, selecting one or more
functions and modifying their parameters.

Automatic control of the functions will be
suspended: the system will only override the settings
for safety reasons.

Manual selections always take priority over automatic
ones and are stored until the AUTO button is
pressed or the system itself intervenes for specific
safety reasons.

The amount of air introduced into the passenger
compartment is not affected by car speed; it is
regulated by the fan, which is controlled
electronically.

The air temperature is always automatically
controlled according to the temperature set on the
display (except for when the system is off or in
certain conditions when the compressor is
not running).

The system allows the following to be set or adjusted
manually:

❒ driver/passenger side air temperature;
❒ fan speed (continuous variation);
❒ air distribution to 7 positions;
❒ compressor enablement;
❒ rapid defrosting/demisting function;
❒ air recirculation;
❒ heated rear window;
❒ system deactivation.

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.

SWITCHING ON THE CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM

The climate control system can be switched on in
different ways: it is advisable to press the AUTO
button and turn the knobs to set the desired
temperatures.

In this way the system operates completely
automatically to adjust the temperature, quantity and
distribution of the air introduced into the passenger
compartment. It also manages the air recirculation
function and the activation of the air conditioning
compressor.

During automatic operation, you can change the set
temperatures, air distribution and fan speed at any
time by using the relevant buttons or knobs: the
system will automatically change the settings to
adjust to the new requirements.

During completely automatic operation (AUTO),
varying the air flow and/or distribution (which are
not displayed) causes the AUTO function LED
to disappear and the system to operate in MANUAL
mode (displaying both the flow and distribution
requested).

When the compressor is deactivated, the AUTO
operation remains active only if the system can
guarantee in-car comfort. Otherwise, the system
switches to MANUAL mode (the set temperatures
will flash on the display). The fan speed is the same in
all the zones of the passenger compartment.

52

ADJUSTING THE AIR TEMPERATURE

Turn the A or L knob clockwise or anticlockwise to
adjust the air temperature in the front left (knob
A) or right (knob L) zone of the passenger
compartment.

The set temperatures are shown on the displays.
Press the MONO button to align the air

temperature between the two zones.
Turn the L knob to return to the separate

management of air temperatures in the two zones.
Turning the knobs completely in one direction or the

other activates the "HI" (maximum heating) or
"LO" (maximum cooling) functions respectively.

To deactivate these functions, turn the temperature
knob to the desired temperature.

AIR DISTRIBUTION SELECTION

By pressing buttons H (
set one of the 7 possible air distributions manually:

Air flow to the windscreen and front side
window diffusers to demist/defrost them.

Air flow at central and side dashboard vents to
ventilate the chest and the face during the hot
season.

Air flow to the front and rear footwell diffusers.
This air distribution setting heats the passenger
compartment most quickly, giving a prompt
sensation of warmth.

/ / ), it is possible to

Air flow distributed between footwell
diffusers (hotter air) and central and side
dashboard vents (cooler air). This distribution
setting is useful in spring and autumn on
sunny days.

Air flow distributed between footwell
diffusers and windscreen and front side
window defrosting/demisting diffusers. This
distribution setting allows the passenger
compartment to be warmed effectively and
prevents the windows from misting.

Air flow distribution between windscreen
demisting/defrosting diffusers and side and
central dashboard vents. This allows air to be
sent to the windscreen in conditions of
strong sunlight.

Air flow distribution to all diffusers on
the car.

Note Air always flows from the side dashboard
diffusers: it is, however, possible to interrupt the air
flow by operating the wheel located near the
corresponding vents.

In AUTO mode, the climate control system
automatically manages air distribution (the LEDs on
buttons H are off).

When set manually, the air distribution is indicated
by the LEDs on the selected buttons switching on.

❒ quantity and distribution of the air introduced into

the passenger compartment

❒ climate control system compressor
❒ air recirculation

cancelling all previous manual adjustments.
This is indicated by the LED on the AUTO button

switching on.
If the AUTO button is pressed when the AUTO LED

is on, the system switches to completely manual
mode; it displays the current flow and distribution
status, which will no longer be managed
automatically.

If a manual intervention is made on at least the air
distribution or on the fan speed, the LED switches
off to indicate that the system is no longer
controlling all functions automatically.

Deactivating the compressor results in the
deactivation of automatic operation only if the
system is no longer able to guarantee comfort
conditions (which depend on the set temperature).

IMPORTANT Should the system no longer be able to
guarantee the required temperature set in various
passenger compartment zones, the set temperature
value will flash for a few seconds on the display.

To restore automatic system control after one or
more manual adjustments, press the AUTO button.

MONO BUTTON

Press the MONO button (LED on button lit) to align
the passenger side air temperature with that of the
driver side.

This function makes temperature regulation easier
when the driver is travelling alone.

system is off). When the outside temperature is low,
recirculation is forced off (air drawn in from the
outside) to prevent the windows from misting up.

It is inadvisable to use internal air
recirculation when the outside
temperature is low, since the windows

START&STOP

Automatic dual zone climate control system

The automatic dual zone climate control system
manages the Start&Stop function (engine off when
car speed is zero) to ensure adequate comfort inside
the car.

The Start&Stop function is disabled until a suitable
comfort level in the passenger compartment is
ensured; thus the engine does not turn off during
these temporary stages, even if car speed is zero.

.

When the Start&Stop function is active (engine off at
zero car speed), the climate control system will
request the reactivation of the engine if the inside
temperature conditions rapidly deteriorate or if
maximum cooling ("LO") or quick demisting
(MAX-DEF) are requested.

With the Start&Stop function active (engine off at
zero car speed), air flow is reduced in order to
maintain comfort conditions inside the passenger
compartment as long as possible when the system is
in AUTO mode (LED on button on).

When a low air flow is selected, the climate control
system control unit always activates the Start&Stop
function.

The climate control system control unit attempts to
manage the "discomfort" caused by the engine
stopping (deactivation of compressor and engine
coolant pump) as best it can but the operation of the
climate control system can be enhanced through
the deactivation of the Start&Stop function by

to its default position and the wiper will be
automatically stopped.

With the ring nut A fig. 46 in position

, the
windscreen wiper will automatically adapt operating
speed to the speed of the car.

With the windscreen wipers operational, if reverse
gear is engaged, the rear window wiper is
automatically activated.

Do not 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 (even after
turning the key and restarting the car engine),
contact a Fiat Dealership.

Do not operate the windscreen wiper with

the blades lifted from the windscreen.

"Smart washing" function

Pull the lever towards the steering wheel (unstable
position) to activate the windscreen washer.

Keeping the stalk pulled for more than half a second,
with just one movement it is possible to operate
the washer jet and the wiper at the same time.

The wiper stops working three strokes after the
stalk is released.

A further stroke after approximately six seconds
completes the wiping cycle (for versions/markets,
where provided).

RAIN SENSOR

(for versions/markets, where provided)

This is located behind the interior rear view mirror,
in contact with the windscreen fig. 47 and can detect
the presence of rain and, consequently, manage the
cleaning of the windscreen in accordance with the
amount of water on the screen.

The sensor has an adjustment range that varies
progressively from wiper still (no stroke) when the
windscreen is dry, to wiper at 2

nd

continuous speed

(fast continuous operation) with intense rain.

fig. 47

F0Y0255

Activation

The sensor is activated when the ring nut A fig. 46 is
turned to

position: the windscreen wiper stroke
frequency is thus adjusted in accordance with the
amount of water on the windscreen.

The activation of the sensor is signalled by a "stroke"
to show that the command has been acquired.

The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be adjusted
through the Setup menu (see paragraph "Menu
Items" in this section).

The variation in sensitivity during rain sensor
operation is also signalled by a stroke of the wipers.
This stroke is also executed with the windscreen dry.

IMPORTANT Keep the glass in the sensor area
clean.

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

Move the stalk ring nut away from the position

or turn the ignition key to STOP.

If the ignition key is turned to the STOP position
leaving the ring nut A in position

, no wiping
cycle is performed at the next startup (ignition key
to the MAR-ON position) even in case of rain.

This prevents unwanted activation of the rain sensor
when the engine is started (i.e. when the windscreen
is being washed by hand or the wipers are stuck to
the windscreen by ice).

To restore automatic operation of the rain sensor,
turn ring nut A from
then turn the ring nut back to the

position to position and

position.

When the rain sensor is reactivated using any of the
manoeuvres described above, reactivation is
indicated by a single stroke of the windscreen wipers,
regardless of the condition of the windscreen.

In the event of malfunction of the rain sensor whilst
it is active, the windscreen wiper operates
intermittently at a speed consistent with the
sensitivity setting of the rain sensor, regardless of
whether there is rain on the glass (on some versions
sensor failure is indicated on the display).

The sensor continues to operate and it is possible to
set the windscreen wiper to continuous mode (1

st

or 2ndspeed). The failure indication remains for
as long as the sensor is active.

This is an electronically controlled driving assistance
device that allows the desired car speed to be
maintained, without having to press the accelerator
pedal.

This device can be used at a speed above 30 km/h on
long stretches of dry, straight roads with few
variations (e.g. motorways).

The use of this device on extra-urban roads with
traffic is not therefore recommended. Do not use
the device in town.

ACTIVATING THE DEVICE

Turn ring nut A fig. 48 to

This can be carried out in two ways:
❒ by pressing the accelerator and storing the new

speed reached
or
❒ by moving the stalk upwards (+) until the new

speed, which will be stored automatically, is

reached.
Each movement of the stalk corresponds to an

increase in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the

speed.

REDUCING THE STORED SPEED

This can be carried out in two ways:
❒ by deactivating the device and then storing the

new speed
or
❒ by moving the lever downwards (–) until the new

speed, which will automatically remain stored, is

reached.
Each movement of the lever corresponds to a

reduction in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping
the stalk held downwards will decrease the speed
continuously.

DEACTIVATING THE DEVICE

The device can be deactivated by the driver in the
following ways:

❒ turning ring nut A to O;

WARNING

When travelling with the device active,
never move the gear lever to neutral.

WARNING

In the event of device faults or failures,
turn knob A to O and contact a Fiat

Dealership.

SPEED LIMITER

This device allows the speed of the car to be limited
to values which can be set by the driver.

The maximum speed can be set both with car
stationary and in motion. The minimum speed that
can be set is 30 km/h.

When the device is active, the car speed depends on
the pressure at the accelerator pedal, until the
programmed speed limit is reached (see "Speed limit
programming" paragraph).

If necessary (in the event of overtaking for example),
the programmed speed limit can be exceeded by
fully depressing the accelerator pedal.

By gradually reducing the pressure on the accelerator
pedal, the function will be reactivated as soon as
the car speed drops below the programmed speed.

Activating the device

To activate the device, turn ring nut A fig. 48 to
Activation of the device is indicated by the

warning light on the instrument panel switching
on and, on some versions, by a message on the
display plus last programmed speed value.

Speed limit programming

The speed limit can be programmed without
necessarily activating the device.

To store a speed value higher than that displayed,
move stalk A upwards (+). Each movement of the
stalk corresponds to an increase in speed of about 1
km/h, while keeping the stalk held upwards will
increase the speed with an increment of 5 km/h.

To store a value lower than that displayed, move
stalk A downwards (–). Each movement of the stalk
corresponds to a decrease in speed of about 1
km/h, while keeping the stalk held downwards a
decrease of 5 km/h is obtained.
