Fiat 500X 2019 Owner's Manual page 83

When the function is activated, the AUTO button LED
turns off. With the function activated, the only possible
manual adjustments are pushing the A/C control button,
adjusting the fan speed and turning the heated rear win-
dow off.
When the Recirculation Control or AUTO buttons are
pushed, the Climate Control system will deactivate the
Front Defrost (MAX-DEF) function.
Selecting the footwell/windshield or only windshield dis-
tribution activates the Climate Control system compressor
and the air recirculation is set to outside air intake.
This logic guarantees optimum visibility at the windows.
Max-defrost is also available in manual mode.
Rear Window Defrosting
Push and release the rear window defrost button to turn
the function on/off.
Activation of this function is indicated by the rear defrost
indicator light on the instrument panel turning on. The
function is automatically deactivated after 20 minutes. If
equipped, push the rear defrost button to activate the
defrosting of door mirrors and heated rear window.
