WINDOW WASHING
WINDSCREEN WASHER/
WIPER fig. 51
The device can only work when the igni-
tion key is at MAR.
The right stalk can be moved to five dif-
ferent positions:
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 lever is held in this position.
When the lever is released, it returns to
position Aautomatically stopping the
wiper.
IMPORTANT When the wiper is on, en-
gaging reverse gear automatically turns on
the rear window wiper.fig. 51F0C0048m
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 fig. 52
Pulling the stalk towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) operates the
windscreen washer.
Keeping the stalk pulled, with just one
movement it is possible to operate the
washer jet and the wiper at the same time;
indeed, the latter comes into action au-
tomatically if the stalk is pulled for more
than half a second.
The wiper stops working a few strokes af-
ter releasing the stalk; a further “cleaning
stroke”, after a few seconds, completes
the wiping operation.RAIN SENSOR (where provided)
The rain sensor A-fig. 53is behind the
driving mirror in contact with the wind-
screen and has the purpose of automati-
cally adjust, during the intermittent oper-
ation, the frequency of the windscreen
wiper strokes as to the rain intensity.
The sensor has a range of adjustment that
gradually varies between wiper stationary
(no wiping) when the windscreen is dry,
to wiper at first continuous speed (con-
tinuous slow) with heavy rain.Activation
Move the right-hand stalk downwards by
one position.
The activation of the rain sensor is sig-
nalled by a control acquisition “stroke”.
IMPORTANT Keep clean the glass in the
sensor area.
Turning the knurled ring F-fig. 51it is
possible to increase the sensitivity of the
rain sensor, obtaining a quicker change
from stationary (no wiping) when the
windscreen is dry, to first continuous
speed (continuous slow).
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.

Deactivation
Turn the ignition key to STOP.
To the following starting operation (key
at MAR), the sensor will not be reacti-
vated even is the stalk is on B-
fig. 51. In this event, to activate the rain
sensor, you have to move the stalk to A
or Cand then again to B.
When the rain sensor is again activated
in this way, at least one windscreen wiper
stroke occurs, even if the windscreen is
dry.
Do not activate the rain sen-
sor when washing the car in
an automatic washing station.In the event of ice on the
windscreen, make sure to have
disconnected the device.
Make sure to have discon-
nected the device when
cleaning the windscreen.
WARNING
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.);
❒streaks of water caused by worn wiper
blades;
❒difference between day and night.

REAR WINDOW WASHER/
WIPER fig. 54
The device can only work when the igni-
tion key is at MAR.
Pushing the stalk towards the dashboard
(unstable position), the rear window
washer jet and the continuous rear win-
dow wiper operation are activated.
Operation ends when the stalk is released.
Turning the knurled ring Afrom
Oto 'the rear window wiper with intermittent
operation is activated.

HEADLIGHT WASHER fig. 55
Fiat Stilo headlight washers are “re-
tractable”, i.e.: they are located inside the
front bumpers and they are activated (with
dipped beam headlights and/or main beam
headlights on) when the windscreen wash-
er is operated.
IMPORTANT Check at regular intervals
correct operation and cleanness of noz-
zles.
fig. 55F0C0270m
Never use the rear window
wiper to remove ice or snow
from the rear window. In these
conditions, the wiper is sub-
mitted to excessive effort that results
in motor protection cutting in and
wiper operation inhibition for few sec-
onds as a consequence. If operation is
not restored contact Fiat Dealership.

DEVICE ENGAGEMENT
Turn knurled ring A-fig. 56to ON.
The device may only be engaged in the 4
th
or 5thgear. 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
Üon the instrument panel turns on
together with the message on the display
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).TO MEMORISE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❒turn the knurled ring A-fig. 56to ON
and press the accelerator pedal to the
required speed;
❒turn the knurled ring Bto (+) for at
least three seconds, then release it. The
car speed is memorised and it is there-
fore 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.
fig. 56F0C0127m
CRUISE CONTROL
(constant speed
regulator)
(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.

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 memorised;
❒engage the gear selected at the time of
speed memorising (4thor 5thgear);
❒press button C-fig. 56.TO REDUCE MEMORISED SPEED
The speed memorised can be increased in
two ways:
❒ disengaging the device and then mem-
orising the new speed;
or
❒keeping the knurled ring B-fig. 56to
(–) until reaching the new speed which
will be memorised automatically.
Each turn of the knurled ring will corre-
spond to a slight reduction in speed (about
1 km/h), while keeping the knurled ring
turned will correspond to a continuous
speed reduction. TO INCREASE THE MEMORISED
SPEED
The speed memorised can be increased in
two ways:
❒ pressing the accelerator and then mem-
orising the new speed reached;
or
❒turning the knurled ring B-fig. 56tem-
porarily to (+).
Each turn of the knurled ring will corre-
spond to a slight increase in speed (about
1 km/h), while keeping the knurled ring
turned will correspond to a continuous
speed increase.
