Fiat Idea (2012 year). Instruction — part 4

During fully automatic operation, the on-
ly instruction settings required are the fol-
lowing:
❒ MONO, to align the air temperature

and distribution set on the passenger’s
side (front or rear) with that on the
driver’s side;

❒ …, air recirculation, to keep it al-

ways on or off;

❒ -, to speed up demisting/defrosting

of windscreen, front side windows,
rear window and door mirrors;

❒ (, to demist/defrost the rear heat-

ed window and the door mirrors.

During completely automatic system op-
eration, the temperatures, air distribution
and the fan speed set can be changed at
any time through the relevant buttons or
knobs: the system will automatically
change its settings to adjust to the new re-
quirements.

During full automatic operation (FULL
AUTO), any change in air distribution
and/or air flow and/or compressor turn-
ing on and/or air recirculation will obtain
FULL disappearing. In this way functions
will be controlled instructionly until pressing
the AUTO button again. The fan speed is
the same for all passenger compartment
areas.

With one or more functions engaged man-
ually, the adjustment of the temperature
of the air admitted to the passenger com-
partment continues to be controlled au-
tomatically by the system, except with the
climate control compressor off. In fact, in
this condition, the air admitted to the pas-
senger compartment cannot have a low-
er temperature than the outside air.

CONTROLS

Air temperature
adjustment knobs
H-N

Turning the knobs clock-
wise or counterclock-
wise, highers or lowers
the temperature of the
air required respectively
in the left zone (knob N)
or right zone (knob H)
of the passenger com-
partment.

It is possible to personalise required tem-
peratures (driver and passenger) with a
maximum difference of 7 °C.

The temperatures set are shown on the
displays near the relevant knobs.

Pressing button A (MONO) automati-
cally aligns the temperature on the front
passenger’s side with that on the driver’s
side. It is therefore possible to set the
same temperature between the two zones
simply turning the knob on the driver’s
side (N).

This function is provided to simplify tem-
perature adjustment of the whole pas-
senger compartment when only the dri-
ver is on board.

Separate operation of the set tempera-
tures is automatically restored by turning
knobs (H) or pressing button A
(MONO) again when the button led is on.

Turning the knobs clockwise or counter-
clockwise until they reach the extreme se-
lections HI or LO, the maximum heat-
ing or cooling functions are respectively
engaged:
❒ HI function (highest heating power):
this is activated by turning the tempera-
ture knob clockwise above the max. val-
ue (32 °C). It can be activated indepen-
dently from the driver’s or passenger’s
side or both (also selecting the MONO
function).

This function can be engaged when re-
quiring to heat the passenger compart-
ment as quickly as possible, exploiting the
maximum potential of the system. This
function uses the maximum temperature
of the coolant fluid, while air distribution
and fan speed are controlled according to
the system settings.

More particularly, max. fan speed will not
be immediately engaged if coolant is not
hot enough; this to prevent admitting air
that is not warm enough to the passenger
compartment.

All instruction settings are however possible
with this function on.

To switch the function off, simply turn the
temperature knob counterclockwise and
set the required temperature.
❒ LO function (highest cooling power):
this is activated by turning the tempera-
ture knob counterclockwise below the
min. value (16 °C). It can be activated in-
dependently from the driver’s or passen-
ger’s side or both (also selecting the
MONO function).

This function can be engaged when re-
quiring to cool the passenger compart-
ment as quickly as possible, exploiting the
maximum potential of the system. This
function engages inside air recirculation
and climate control compressor, while air
distribution and fan speed are controlled
according to environmental conditions.

All instruction settings are however possible
with this function on.

To switch the function off, simply turn the
temperature knob clockwise and set the
required temperature.

Front air
distribution
selection buttons

(I-M)

Pressing the relevant
buttons it is possible to
instructionly choose one of
the five possible air dis-
tributions to the left and
right side of the passen-
ger compartment:

▲

Air flow to the windscreen and front
side window vents to demist or de-
frost them.

˙

Air flow to dashboard central and
side vents to provide satisfactory
ventilation to the chest and face,
specially during the summer.

▼

Air flow towards the front and rear
lower parts of the passenger com-
partment. Due to the natural ten-
dency of heat to spread upwards,
this type of distribution allows heat-
ing of the passenger compartment
in the shortest time, also giving a
prompt feeling of warmth to the
coldest parts of the body.

˙

▼

Splitting of the air flow between the
vents to the lower part of the pas-
senger compartment (warmest air)
and the dashboard centre and side
outlets (coolest air). This air flow
distribution is particularly useful in
spring and autumn, when the sun is
shining.

▲

▼

Splitting of the air flow between the
lower part of the passenger com-
partment and the windscreen and
front side window demisting/de-
frosting vents. This type of air dis-
tribution allows satisfactory heating
of the passenger compartment while
preventing possible misting of the
windows.

Set air flow distribution is indicated by the
corresponding button led switching on.

With a combined function set, pressing a
button will turn on the main function of
the button pressed, together with the
functions set yet. Pressing the button of
the active function will turn the function
off (led off).

To restore automatic air distribution con-
trol after a instruction selection, press button
AUTO.
When the driver selects air distribution
towards the windscreen, also the air dis-
tribution on passenger’s side will auto-
matically be directed to the windscreen.
The passenger can however select a dif-
ferent air distribution by pressing the rel-
evant buttons.

Fan speed
adjustment
buttons (L)

Pressing the ends of but-
ton

p

increases or de-

creases the fan speed

and therefore the amount of air admitted
to the passenger compartment, although
keeping the required temperature.

The fan speed is shown by the lit bars on
the display
❒ max fan speed = all bars lit
❒ min fan speed = one bar lit.
The fan can be cut off only if the climate
control compressor has been switched off
pressing button B.

IMPORTANT To restore automatic fan
speed control after a instruction adjustment,
press button AUTO.

AUTO buttons
(H-N)
(automatic
operation)

Pressing the AUTO
button (on driver and/or
front passenger side) the
system automatically ad-
justs the amount and dis-
tribution of the air ad-
mitted to the passenger
compartment, cancelling

all the previous instruction adjustments.

This condition is indicated by the message
FULL AUTO on the front system dis-
play.

Instruction operation of at least one automatic
function (air recirculation, air distribution,
fan speed or climate control compressor
off) will cause FULL message going off the
display. This means that automatic control
is not complete (except temperature con-
trol which is always automatic).

IMPORTANT Should the system (after
instruction settings) be no longer able to guar-
antee the required temperature set in the
passenger compartment, the set temper-
ature value will start flashing to indicate
this condition, after one minute the AU-
TO message will turn off.

To restore automatic system control af-
ter one or more instruction selections, press
button AUTO.

MONO button (A)
(alignment of set
temperatures and
air distribution)

Pressing button MONO

automatically aligns the temperature on
the front passenger’s side with that on the
driver’s side.

It is therefore possible to set the same
temperature and air distribution between
the two zones simply turning the knob on
the driver’s side. This function is provid-
ed to simplify temperature adjustment of
the whole passenger compartment when
only the driver is on board.

Separate operation of the set tempera-
tures and air distribution is automatically
restored by turning knob H-fig. 65 or
pressing button MONO A again when
the button led is on.

Air recirculation
on/off button (C)

Air recirculation is con-
trolled according to the
following operating log-
ics:

❒ forced switching on (air recirculation

always on), indicated by the turning on
of the led on button C-fig. 65 and
symbol

í on the display;

❒ forced switching off (air recirculation

always off with air inlet from the out-
side), indicated by the turning off of
the button led and

êon the display.

These operating conditions are obtained
pressing in sequence the air recirculation
button C.

After a preset time, the climate control
system will turn air recirculation off au-
tomatically for safety reasons, thus en-
abling outside air inlet.

IMPORTANT The air recirculation system
makes it possible to reach the required
heating or cooling conditions faster.
It is however inadvisable to use it on
rainy/cold days as it would considerably
increase the possibility of the windows
misting inside, especially if the climate con-
trol system is off.

When the outside temperature is below
5-7°C, air recirculation is switched off (air
is taken from the outside) to prevent mist-
ing.

Climate control
compressor on/off
button (B)

Press the

√ button,

when the button led is
on, to switch the com-

pressor off. The led will go off. By press-
ing again the button when the led is off,
the system automatic control of the com-
pressor activation is restored; this condi-
tion is indicated by button led lighting up.

When the air conditioner compressor is
off, the system deactivates air recircula-
tion to prevent window misting up. Al-
though the system is still able to maintain
the required temperature, the message
FULL on the display will go off. If the sys-
tem is no longer able to keep the required
temperature, also the message AUTO
will turn off.

IMPORTANT Air at a temperature low-
er than that of the outside air cannot be
let into the passenger compartment when
the compressor is off. Furthermore, in
particular environmental conditions, the
windows could mist up fast because the
air is no longer dehumidified.

Setting will be stored also when the en-
gine is stopped. Either press again button

√ (in this case the system operates as

heater only) or AUTO to reset auto-
matic control of the compressor.

With compressor off, if the outside tem-
perature is higher than the set tempera-
ture, the system cannot reach the re-
quired temperature. This will be signalled
by the flashing of set temperature value on
the display for a few seconds, then the
message AUTO will go off.

When the compressor is off, it is possi-
ble to reset instructionly the fan speed (no bar
displayed).

When the compressor is on and the en-
gine is running, fan speed cannot be low-
er than the minimum (one bar displayed).

It is inadvisable to use the air
recirculation feature with

low outside temperature as the win-
dows might mist over quickly.

WARNING

Button for fast
windscreen and
front side window
demisting/
defrosting (F)

Press this button: the climate control sys-
tem will automatically switch on all the
functions required for fast windscreen and
front side window demisting/defrosting,
that is:
❒ climate control system compressor

on (with proper climatic conditions);

❒ maximum air temperature HI on

both areas;

❒ fan speed according to engine coolant

temperature in order to limit letting
cold air into the passenger compart-
ment for demisting the windows;

❒ air flow directed to the windscreen

and front side window vents;

❒ heated rear window.
IMPORTANT The fast windscreen
demisting/defrosting function stays on for
approx. 3 minutes after the engine coolant
temperature exceeds 50°C (petrol ver-
sions) or 35°C (Multijet versions).

When the max. demisting/defrosting func-
tion is on, the led on the relevant button
and that on the heated rear window but-
ton turn on. Message FULL AUTO on
the display will turn off.

When the max. demisting/defrosting func-
tion is on, the only instruction operations pos-
sible are instruction adjustment of the fan and
switching rear window heating off.

Press button F-fig. 65 or air recirculation

(system off)

To switch the climate
control system off, press
button E, also the dis-
play will go off.

The climate control system conditions
when the system is off are the following:
❒ Every led off;

❒ set temperatures not displayed;

❒ air recirculation on, thus isolating

the passenger compartment;

❒ climate control system compressor

off;

❒ fan off.
The heated rear window can be switched
on and off normally when the system is off
by pressing button G.

IMPORTANT The climate control system
electronic unit stores the system settings
made before the system was switched off
and restores them as soon as a button is
pressed (with the exception of the heat-
ed rear window button). The function
which the button corresponds to will be
switched on, if it was off when the sys-
tem was switched off. It will be kept if, on
the other hand, it was on when the sys-
tem was switched off.

Press the AUTO button to switch the cli-
mate control system back on.

This function allows the illumination of the
space in front of the car for a preset pe-
riod of time.

Activation

With the ignition key on STOP or
removed, pull the stalk towards the
steering wheel within 2 minutes from
when the engine is turned off.

At each single movement of the stalk,
the time in which the lights stay on is
extended by 30 seconds up to maximum
210 seconds. After this time, the lights
go off automatically.

AUTOMATIC LIGHT SENSORS
(dusk sensor) (where provided)

This sensor detects any changes in the
external brightness according to the
sensitivity of the set light level: the high-
er the sensitivity, the lower the amount
of external light needed to switch the
lights on. The sensitivity of the dusk sen-
sor is adjusted by means of the “Setup
menu” on the “Multifunctional Display”.

Activation

Rotate the knurled ring in position

on of the side/tail lights and low beam
lights simultaneously depending on the
external brightness.

WINDOW WASHING

WINDSCREEN
WASHER/WIPER

The device can work only when the igni-
tion key is on MAR.

The right lever fig. 74 can take five dif-
ferent positions:

A windscreen wiper off

B intermittent.

With the lever in position B, turn the
knurled ring F to select one of four dif-
ferent speeds for the intermittent opera-
tion mode:

,

= very slow intermittence

--

= slow intermittence

---

= mean intermittence

----

= fast intermittence

When the automatic light sensor is acti-
vated, the multifunctional display shows
the pre-set sensor sensitivity level. On this
screen it is possible to adjust the sensi-
tivity level using the buttons + and – (see
fig. 73).

Deactivation

The main beam headlights will go out fol-
lowed by the side/tail lights after approx-
imately 10 seconds, when the sensor is de-
activated.

If the beam headlights are enabled (man-
ually by the driver) during automatic light-
ing, the beam lights go off automatically
along with the lights.

IMPORTANT The sensor cannot detect
the presence of fog. So, in foggy condi-
tions, switch the lights on instructionly.

C continuous slow operation;

D continuous fast operation

E temporary fast operation (unstable po-

sition).

Operation in position E is limited to the
time during which the lever is kept in that
position instructionly. When released, the
stalk will return to position A and the
wiper will be automatically stopped.

IMPORTANT Replace wiper blades as
specified in section “Car maintenance”.

RAIN SENSOR
(where provided)

The rain sensor is located behind the dri-
ving mirror in contact with the windscreen
and has the purpose of automatically ad-
just the frequency of the windscreen
wiper strokes as to the rain intensity.

IMPORTANT Keep the window clean in
the sensor area.

Activation

Move the right lever down by one click.

The activation of the rain sensor is sig-
nalled by a control acquisition “stroke”.

Turn the knurled ring F-fig. 76 to increase
the rain sensor sensitivity.

The increase of the sensitivity of the rain
sensor is signalled by a control and acqui-
sition “stroke”.

By operating the windscreen washer with
the rain sensor enabled, a smart washing
cycle is carried out, without the addition-
al stroke after 5 seconds; once complet-
ed, the sensor resumes its regular auto-
matic operation.

“Smart washing” function fig. 75

Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel
(unstable position) to operate the wind-
screen 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.

When releasing the stalk, the jet stops im-
mediately, while the wiper carries out an-
other four strokes.

A further stroke after 6 seconds com-
pletes the wiping operation.

Do not use the windscreen
wiper to remove layers of
snow or ice from the wind-
screen. In such conditions, the

windscreen wiper may be subjected to
excessive stress and the motor protec-
tion which prevents operation for a few
seconds may trip. If the issue persists,
contact the Fiat Dealership.

fig. 75

F0H0074m

The sensor reactivation is signalled by a
windscreen wiper “stroke”.

The rain sensor is able to recognize and
automatically adjust itself in the presence
of the following particular conditions:
❒ impurities on the controlled surface

(salt, dirt, etc.);

❒ difference between day and night.

Deactivation

Change the stalk knurled ring position
from B or turn the ignition key to STOP.

At the next start-up (key at MAR), the
sensor will not be reactivated even if the
stalk is at B. To activate the sensor, move
the stalk to position A or C and then to
position B or turn the sensitivity adjust-
ment knurled ring.

REAR WINDOW WASHER/
WIPER fig. 77

The device can work only when the igni-
tion key is on MAR.

Turning the knurled ring A from position

å

to position

' will operate the rear

window wiper as follows:
❒ intermittent operation if the wind-

screen wiper is off;

❒ synchronised with the windscreen

wiper (but with half stroke frequency);

CRUISE CONTROL
(where provided)

It is a device able to support the driver,
with electronic control, which allows dri-
ving at speed over 30 km/h on long and
straight dry roads (e.g.: motorways), at a
desired speed, without pressing the ac-
celerator pedal. Therefore it is not sug-
gested to use this device on extra-urban
roads with traffic. Do not use it in town.

DEVICE ENGAGEMENT

Turn knurled ring A-fig. 78 to ON.

The device may only be engaged in the 4th
or 5th gear. Travelling downhill with the
device engaged, the car speed may in-
crease more than the memorised one.

When the device is activated, the warning
light Ü on the instrument cluster turns on
together with the message (where pro-
vided) on the reconfigurable multifunction
display.

fig. 78

F0H0074m

TO MEMORISE SPEED

Proceed as follows:
❒ turn the knurled ring A-fig. 78 to

ON and press the accelerator pedal
to the required speed;

❒ move the stalk upwards (+) for at

least three seconds, then release it.
The car speed is memorised and it is
therefore possible to release the
accelerator pedal.

In the case of need (when overtaking for
instance) acceleration is possible simply
pressing the accelerator pedal: releasing
the accelerator pedal, the car will return
to the speed memorised previously.

TO RESET THE MEMORISED
SPEED

If the device has been disengaged for ex-
ample pressing the brake or clutch pedal,
the memorised speed can be reset as fol-
lows:
❒ accelerate gradually until reaching a

speed approaching the one memo-
rised;

❒ engage the gear selected at the time

of speed memorising (4

th

or 5

th

gear);

❒ press the RES button B-fig. 78.

TO INCREASE THE MEMORISED
SPEED

The speed memorised can be increased in
two ways:
❒ pressing the accelerator and then

memorising the new speed reached;

or
❒ moving the stalk upwards (+).
Each operation of the stalk will corre-
spond to a slight increase in speed (about
1 km/h), while keeping the stalk upwards
continuously will correspond to a contin-
uous speed increase.

When travelling with the de-
vice on, do not put the gear-

box lever in neutral.

ATTENZIONE

TO REDUCE MEMORISED
SPEED

The speed memorised can be increased in
two ways:
❒ disengaging the device and then

memorising the new speed;

or
❒ moving the stalk downwards (–) until

reaching the new speed which will be
memorised automatically.

Each operation of the stalk will corre-
spond to a slight reduction in speed (about
1 km/h), while keeping the stalk down-
wards continuously will correspond to a
continuous speed reduction.

DEVICE DISENGAGEMENT

Turn the ring A-fig. 78 to OFF or the ig-
nition key to STOP. The device is auto-
matically deactivated also in one of the fol-
lowing cases:
❒ pressing the brake or clutch pedal.

In the event of device mal-
function or failure, turn the

knurled ring A to OFF and contact a
Fiat Dealership after checking the
protective fuse integrity.
