Get Knowing Your Car -> Climate Control Systems Guide for Fiat 600 SUV Second Generation (2023-2026)

A rotation of the ring from a higher

position to a lower position triggers a

confirmation wiping.

CLIMATE CONTROL

SYSTEMS

13) Do not operate the wipers on a dry

windscreen. In extremely hot or cold

weather, check that the wiper blades

are not stuck to the windscreen before

operating the wipers.

14) Never use the screen wiper to remove

layers of snow or ice from the windscreen

glass. 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 subsequently

restored, even after restarting the engine,

contact a Fiat Dealership.

PASSENGER

After the ignition has been switched off

for more than 1 minute with the wiper

control stalk in the AUTO position,

when the ignition is switched on again:

the system works, depending on the

volume of rain detected, as soon as the

vehicle exceeds 10 km/h (6 mph), if the

outside temperature is below +3°C.

the system works immediately,

depending on the volume of rain

detected, if the outside temperature is

above +3°C.

COMPARTMENT AIR

DIFFUSERS

Side air diffusers

(1) fig. 77 - Fixed side air diffuser (driver

and passenger side).

15) Do not operate the screen wiper with

the blades lifted from the windscreen

glass.

16) To avoid damaging the wiper blades,

do not operate the screenwash if the

screenwash reservoir is empty. Only

operate the screenwash if there is no risk

of the fluid freezing on the windscreen

and hindering visibility. During the winter

period, use "very cold climate" rated

products. Never top up with water.

17) Make sure the device is switched off if

there is ice on the windscreen glass.

18) Do not cover the rain/sunshine sensor.

When using an automatic car wash, switch

off the automatic wipers and the ignition.

In winter, wait until the windscreen is

completely clear of ice before activating

the automatic wipers.

Malfunction

If a fault occurs with the automatic

wipers, the wipers operate in

intermittent mode. Have it checked by

a Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT

54) Make sure the device is turned off

whenever the windscreen glass must be

cleaned.

WARNING

78

F6S0009

12) Before operating the wipers in wintry

conditions, clear any snow, ice or frost

from the windscreen and around the wiper

arms and blades.

49

Use device (3) fig. 78 to adjust the

diffuser to the desired position (up /

down / left / right)

WARNING

6) The system uses R1234yf coolant,

which does not pollute the environment

in the event of accidental leakage. Under

no circumstances use R134a and R12

fluids, which are incompatible with the

components of the system.

Central air vents

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

6)

In winter, the climate control system

must be turned on at least once a

month for about 10 minutes. Before

summer, have the system checked at a

Fiat Dealership.

AIR TEMPERATURE

ADJUSTMENT

You can select the combination of

several modes by pressing the buttons

in sequence.

When the outside temperature is low,

recirculation could be switched off (air

drawn from the outside) to prevent the

windows misting up.

Press the (1) fig. 80 button:

press downwards: decrease

FAN SPEED

ADJUSTMENT

To guarantee good air quality inside

the passenger compartment, every 15

minutes of recirculation, the system

takes in air from outside for 1 minute

and then returns to recirculation.

By repeatedly pressing the (1) button

upwards or downwards the HI

(maximum air temperature) and LO

(minimum air temperature) functions are

switched on respectively. To turn these

functions off, ask for a numerical air

temperature.

Press button (10) to increase/decrease

the fan speed:

press downwards: decrease speed

press upwards: increase speed

The speed is displayed on the

A/C screen of the Uconnect™

10.25"/10.25" NAV system. A specific

fan level can be selected by pressing

on the dashboard or the graphic

buttons located on the Uconnect™

(2) Maximum windscreen defrosting.

(4) Airflow to the front and rear footwell

vents. This air distribution setting heats

the passenger compartment most

quickly, giving a prompt sensation of

warmth.

WARNING With the compressor off, air

cannot be introduced to the passenger

compartment with a temperature

lower than the external temperature.

Moreover, under certain environmental

conditions, windows could mist up

rapidly since the air is not dehumidified.

AIR RECIRCULATION

The air recirculation can be switched

on/off by pressing the button (7) fig. 80.

WARNING The engagement of the

recirculation system makes it possible

to reach the required heating/cooling

conditions faster. It is, however,

inadvisable to use it on rainy/cold days,

or with low external temperatures, as

it would considerably increase the

possibility of the windows misting up

inside rapidly (especially if the climate

control system is off).
