TRIP COMPUTER
General features
The “Trip computer” is used to display in-
formation on car operation when the key
is turned to MAR. This function allows to
define two separate trips called “Trip A”
and “Trip B” for monitoring the car’s
“complete mission” in a reciprocally in-
dependent manner.
Both functions are resettable (reset - start
of new mission).
“Trip A” may be used to display the fig-
ures relating to:
– Range
– Distance travelled
– Average consumption
– Instant consumption
– Average speed
– Travel time (driving time).“Trip B”, available on multifunctional dis-
play only, shall be used to display the fig-
ures relating to:
– Trip distance B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Travel time B (driving time).
Note“Trip B” functions may be exclud-
ed (see “Trip B on”). “Range” and “In-
stantaneous consumption” cannot be re-
set.Values displayed
Range
This indicates the distance which may be
travelled with the fuel in the tank
assuming that driving conditions will not
change. The message “——” will appear
on the display in the following cases:
– range shorter than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– car left parked with engine running for
long.
Distance travelled
This indicates the distance covered from
the start of the new mission.

ning.
Average speed
This shows the car average speed as a
function of the overall time elapsed since
the start of the new mission.
Travel time
This value shows the time elapsed since
the start of the new mission.
IMPORTANT If information is not avail-
able, the message “----” will appear instead
of the Trip Computer values. Displaying
of the values will be resumed when nor-
mal operation is restored without reset-
ting the values displayed before the prob-
lem nor starting a new mission. TRIP button fig. 26
Button TRIP, set on the top of the right
steering column stalk, shall be used (with
ignition key at MAR) to display and to re-
set the previously described values to start
a new mission:
– briefly press to display the different val-
ues
– hold pressed to reset and then start a
new mission.
New mission
Reset can be:
– “manual” resetting by the user, by press-
ing the relevant button;
– “automatic” resetting, when the “Trip dis-
tance” reaches 3999.9 km or 9999.9 km
(according to the type of display) or when
the “Travel time” reaches 99.59 (99 hours
and 59 minutes);
– after disconnecting/reconnecting the
battery.IMPORTANT The reset operation in the
presence of the screens concerning the
“Trip A” makes it possible to reset only
the information associated with this func-
tion.

WINDOW WASHING
The right stalk fig. 46controls windscreen
wiper/washer operation.
WINDSCREEN WASHER/
WIPER
The device can only work when the igni-
tion key is at MAR.
The stalk ring nut can be moved to four
different positions:
Owindscreen wiper off;
≤intermittent;
≥continuous slow;
¥continuous fast.
Move the lever to position A(unstable)
to limit operation for the time for which
the lever is held in this position. The lever
will return to position and the wiper will
be automatically stopped when released.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 operation is not re-
stored, even after turning the key and
restarting the engine, go to a Fiat Deal-
ership.
With the ring in position
≤the wind-
screen wiper will automatically adapt to
the speed of the car.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, 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
Move the right-hand stalk knurled ring to
≤fig. 46.
The activation of the rain sensor is sig-
nalled by a control acquisition “stroke”.
Through the set up menu it 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.Deactivation
Change the stalk knurled ring position
from
≤fig. 46or turn the ignition key
to STOP.
At the next start-up (key at MAR), the
sensor will not be reactivated even if the
knurled ring is at
≤fig. 46. To reacti-
vate the sensor, move the ring from po-
sition
≤to any other position and then
return it to position
≤.
Rain sensor activation will be indicated by
at least one wiper “stroke” even if the
windscreen is dry.
The rain sensor is able to recognize and
automatically adjust itself in the presence
of the following particular conditions:
❒presence of dirt on the controlled sur-
face (salt, dirt, etc.);
❒difference between day and night.
IMPORTANT Streaks of water may cause
unnecessary blade moving. “Smart washing” function
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.
The wiper stops working three strokes af-
ter releasing the stalk.
A further stroke after 6 seconds com-
pletes the wiping operation.
