IGNITION SWITCH
The key can be turned to 3 different po-
sitions fig. 17:
❒OFF: engine off, key can be removed,
steering column locked. Certain elec-
trical devices (e.g.: sound system, pow-
er windows…) can work.
❒ON: driving position. All electrical de-
vices are powered.
❒START: engine starting.
The ignition switch is fitted with an elec-
tronic safety system that, in the event the
engine is not started, turns back the igni-
tion key to OFFbefore repeating the
starting operation.
fig. 17F0L0004m
If the ignition device is tam-
pered with (e.g.: attempted
theft), have it checked over by a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
WARNING
When getting out of the car,
always remove the key to
prevent any occupants from acci-
dentally activating the controls. Re-
member to engage the handbrake
and if the car is parked on uphill slope
to engage the first gear. If the car is
facing downhill, engage the reverse
gear (position P with automatic trans-
mission). Never leave unsupervised
children in the car.
WARNING
STEERING COLUMN LOCK
Engaging
The steering column lock will engage 5
seconds after removing the key from the
ignition switch (engine off).
Disengaging
The steering column lock will disengage
after fitting the key into the ignition switch.
IMPORTANT Switching the engine off
when the car is running will not engage the
steering column lock. The multifunction
display will show the relevant message
(see section “Warning lights and Mes-
sages”).
IMPORTANT If, after trying to turn the
instrument panel on and/or to start the
engine, the display will show the message
“Check vehicle protection system”, repeat
the operation rocking the steering wheel
to facilitate steering unlocking. Displaying
of this message does not impair steering
column lock operation.
IMPORTANT When the vehicle is mo-
ving, the electronic key must remain in the
ignition device. That ensures that the stee-
ring lock is disabled during vehicle hand-
ling (e.g., when the vehicle is towed).

“FOLLOW ME HOME” DEVICE
This function allows the illumination of the
space in front of the car for a preset pe-
riod of time.
Activation fig. 60
With the ignition key at OFFor removed,
pull the stalk towards the steering wheel
and operate it 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 3
warning light turns on together with the
message on the display (see section
“Warning lights and messages”). The
warning light will come on the first time
the stalk is operated and it will stay on un-
til the function is automatically deactivat-
ed. Each single movement of the stalk will
only extend the staying on of the lights.
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 car according to the light
sensitivity set: the greater the sensitivity
is, the smaller the amount of external light
necessary to control the switching-on of
the external headlights will be. The day-
light sensor sensitivity can be adjusted by
the “Set-up menu” of the display.
fig. 60F0L0027m

Activation fig. 61
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.

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.

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. 62:
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 lever is released, it returns to
position Aautomatically stopping the
wiper.
IMPORTANT Replace wiper blades as
specified in section “Car maintenance”.
fig. 62F0L0030m
“Smart washing” function
Pulling the stalk towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) operates the
windscreen washer fig. 63.
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.

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT
THE T.P.M.S. SYSTEM
Failure indications will not be stored and
therefore will not be displayed when turn-
ing the engine off and on again. If failure
persists, the control unit will send warn-
ing indications to the instrument panel on-
ly after a few seconds when the car is
moving.
IMPORTANT T.P.M.S. system cannot in-
dicate sudden tyre pressure drops (e.g.:
tyre burst). In this event, brake the car
cautiously and avoid sudden steering.
IMPORTANT Replacing standard tyres
with winter tyres and vice versa involves
T.P.M.S. system set-up that shall be per-
formed at Fiat Dealerships only.
IMPORTANT The T.P.M.S. system re-
quires special equipment. Consult Fiat
Dealership to know what type of acces-
sories are compatible with the system
(wheels, wheel caps, etc.). Using other ac-
cessories could cause system malfunc-
tioning.IMPORTANT Tyre pressure could change
according to outside temperature. For this
reason the T.P.M.S. system could tem-
porarily indicate low tyre pressure. In this
event check pressure with cold tyres and
restore proper inflation values if required.
IMPORTANT If the car is fitted with
T.P.M.S. system, tyre and/or rim removal
and refitting operations involve special
precautions; to prevent damages or wrong
sensor refitting, contact Fiat Dealership to
have tyre and/or rim changed.
IMPORTANT If the car is fitted with
T.P.M.S. system, when changing a tyre,
change also the rubber seal of the valve.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Strong radiofrequency
noise may inhibit regular TPMS system op-
eration; in this event, a dedicated message
will be displayed to warn the driver. This
message will disappear automatically as
soon as noise disappears.SOUND SYSTEM
(where provided)
For the operation of the radio with
CD/MP3 CD (where provided), read the
instructions for use given in the Supple-
ment attached to the Owner Handbook.
SOUND SYSTEM
(where provided)
The system includes:
❒2 tweeters (power 40W max. each),
located on front doors;
❒2 mid-woofers, (diameter 165 mm,
power 40W max. each), located on
front doors;
❒2 full-range speakers, (diameter 165
mm, power 40W max. each), located
on rear doors.
