“FOLLOW ME HOME”
DEVICE
This function allows the illumination of the
space in front of the vehicle for a preset
period of time.
Activation fig. 57
With the ignition key at OFFor 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
staying on of the lights is extended by 30
seconds up to a maximum of 210 seconds;
then the lights are switched off automati-
cally. Each time the stalk is operated, the in-
strument panel warning light 3will turn
on together with a message on the display
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”) until the function is active. The
warning light comes on the first time the
stalk is operated and will stay on up to au-
tomatic function deactivation. Each oper-
ation of the stalk will extend just the lights
switching on time.
Deactivation
Keep the stalk pulled towards the steer-
ing wheel for more than 2 seconds.
AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS
SENSOR (daylight sensor)
(where provided)
It detects the changes of the external light
intensity of the vehicle according to the
light sensitivity set: the greater the sensi-
tivity is, the smaller the amount of exter-
nal light necessary to control the switch-
ing-on of the external headlights will be.
The daylight sensor sensitivity can be ad-
justed by the “Set-up menu” of the display.Activation fig. 58
Turn the knurled ring to
2A:in this way,
the automatic activation of the side/tail-
lights and dipped beam headlights is si-
multaneously enabled according to the ex-
ternal luminosity.
Deactivation
As a result of the sensor control, the
dipped beam headlights will switch off and,
after about 10 seconds, sidelights will
switch off too.
The sensor is not able to detect the fog
presence, lights shall therefore be
switched on manually.

WINDOW WASHING
WINDSCREEN WASHER/
WIPER
This device can only work when the igni-
tion key is at ON.
The right stalk can be moved to five dif-
ferent positions fig. 59:
A: windscreen wiper off
B: flick wipe.
With the stalk in position B, turning the
knurled ring Ffour possible intermittent
speeds are obtained:
,= very slow intermittent
-- = slow intermittent
--- = intermittent medium
---- = fast intermittent
C: continuous slow;
D: continuous fast;
E: fast temporary (unstable position).Operation in position Eis limited to the
time the stalk is held in this position.
When the stalk is released, it returns to
position Aautomatically stopping the
wiper.
IMPORTANT Replace wiper blades as
specified in section “Vehicle maintenance”.Never use the window wiper
to remove ice or snow from
the windscreen. In these con-
ditions, the wiper is submitted
to excessive effort that results in mo-
tor protection cutting in and wiper op-
eration inhibition for few seconds as a
consequence. If operation is not re-
stored contact Fiat Dealership.
“Smart washing” function
Pulling the stalk towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) operates the
windscreen washer fig. 60.
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 four strokes af-
ter releasing the stalk.
A further stroke after five seconds com-
pletes the wiping operation.

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, during the intermittent operation, the
frequency of the windscreen wiper
strokes as to the rain intensity.
IMPORTANT Keep clean the glass in the
sensor area.
Activation fig. 61
Move the right-hand stalk downwards by
one position B.
The activation of the rain sensor is sig-
nalled by a control acquisition “stroke”.
Turning the knurled ring Fit is possible to
increase the sensitivity of the rain sensor.
The increase of the sensitivity of the rain
sensor is signalled by a control and acqui-
sition “stroke”.
Operating the windscreen washer with
the rain sensor activated the normal wash-
ing cycle is performed at the end of which
the rain sensor resumes its normal auto-
matic function.HEADLIGHT WASHER
(where provided)
Headlight washers are “retractable”, i.e.:
they are located inside the front bumpers
and they are activated when (with dipped
beams on) the windscreen washer is op-
erated.
IMPORTANT Check at regular intervals
correct operation and cleanness of noz-
zles. Deactivation fig. 61
Move the stalk off Bor turn the ignition
key to OFF. At next engine starting (key
at ON), the sensor will not be reactivated
even if the stalk is at B. In this event, to ac-
tivate the rain sensor you have to move
the stalk to Aor Cand then again to B
or turn the knurled ring. Rain sensor acti-
vation will be indicated by at least one
wiper “stroke” even if the windscreen is
dry. The rain sensor is capable of recog-
nizing and adapting automatically to the
difference between day and night.

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
fig. 62
Turn knurled ring Ato ON.
The Cruise Control cannot be engaged
in first or reverse gear. It is advisable to
engage it in 4
thor higher gears.
Travelling downhill with the device en-
gaged, the vehicle speed may increase
more than the memorised one.
When the device is activated the warn-
ing light
Üturns on together with the rel-
evant message on the instrument panel.TO MEMORISE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❒turn the knurled ring Ato ON and
press the accelerator pedal to the re-
quired speed;
❒move the stalk upwards (+) for at least
one second, then release it. The ve-
hicle speed is memorised and it is
therefore possible to release the ac-
celerator pedal.
In the case of need (when overtaking for
instance) acceleration is possible simply
pressing the accelerator pedal: releasing
the accelerator pedal, the vehicle will re-
turn 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;
❒press button RES B.

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
will correspond to a continuous speed in-
crease.
TO REDUCE MEMORISED
SPEED
The speed memorised can be increased in
two ways:
❒disengaging the device and then mem-
orising 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 will correspond to a continuous
speed reduction.DEVICE DISENGAGEMENT
The device can be disengaged in the fol-
lowing ways:
❒turning the knurled ring Ato OFF;
❒turning the engine off;
❒pressing the brake pedal or engaging
the hand brake;
❒pressing the clutch pedal;
❒shifting gear with automatic transmis-
sion in sequential mode;
❒with vehicle speed below the preset
limit;
❒pressing the accelerator pedal; in this
case the system is not really disen-
gaged but the request for acceleration
takes priority over the system. The
cruise control is however active and it
will not be necessary to press button
RES to resume previous conditions
after ending acceleration.The device is automatically deactivated in
one of the following cases:
❒ABS or ESP system cut-in;
❒system failure.
When travelling with the de-
vice on, never set the
gearshift lever to neutral.
In the event of device mal-
function or failure, turn the
knurled ring A to OFF and contact a
Fiat Dealership after checking the
protection fuse integrity.
