67GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
REARVIEW
CAMERA
Vehicles equipped with CONNECT
NAV+ can be fitted with an optional
rearview camera. This camerafig. 98,
set on roof rear cross member dis-
plays on the CONNECT NAV+ mon-
itor the images of the rear part of the
vehicle, thus supporting the driver
during parking or reverse manoeuvres.
When the reverse gear is engaged, the
camera is automatically activated. In
the same way, the camera is deacti-
vated when disengaging the reverse
gear.
PARKING SENSORS
The parking system fig. 99detects
and informs the driver about the pres-
ence of obstacles in the rear part of
the vehicle.
It is a valid support to identify fences,
walls, posts, vases with plants and the
like or children playing behind the ve-
hicle.

Pull the stalk towards the steering
wheel to send a jet of fluid to the
windscreen and operate the wiper
with a simple gesture. The windscreen
wiper will be operated automatically
by holding the washer stalk for longer
than half a second.
The windscreen wiper will flick three
times after the lever is released.
Operate the control repeatedly and
rapidly (for less than half a second) to
spray the windscreen several times
without operating the windscreen
wiper.

zles if necessary. The windscreen jets
are directed by adjusting the inclina-
tion of nozzles. Direct the spray so

reached by the brushes.Headlight washer

PROTECTING THE VEHICLE
FROM ATMOSPHERIC
AGENTS
The main causes of rust are:
– atmospheric pollution;
– salt and humidity in the atmos-
phere (coastal or very hot and humid
areas);
– environmental conditions that are
specific to the season.
In addition, the abrasiveness of dust
in the atmosphere and sand carried by
the wind as well as mud and stones
kicked up by other vehicles must not
be underestimated.
For your vehicle, Fiat has used lead-
ing-edge technological solutions to ef-
fectively protect the body from rust.
These are the most important:
– painting systems and products that
make the vehicle particularly resistant
to rust and scratching;
