Follow me home (where provided)
This function allows the illumination of the
space in front of the vehicle for a preset
period of time (45 seconds). To activate
it the ignition key shall be at Sor removed
and the left stalk shall be pushed towards
the dashboard within 2 minutes from
when the engine is turned off.
If the vehicle is fitted with automatic de-
vice for turning on side lights and dipped
beams, the follow me home function will
activate automatically when opening the
doors.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.
Activation fig. 58
Turn the knurled ring to AUTO: in this
way, the automatic activation of the
side/taillights and dipped beam headlights
is simultaneously enabled according to the
external luminosity.

vation is indicated by the dedicated mes-
sage on the display.

WINDOW WASHING
The right stalk fig. 59controls windscreen
wiper/washer and heated rear window
wiper/washer operation (where provid-
ed).
WINDSCREEN WASHER/
WIPER
This device can only work when the igni-
tion key is at M.
The stalk ring nut can be moved to four
different positions:
0windscreen wiper off;
Iflick wipe;
1continuous slow;
2continuous fast.
STemporary operation (one wipe):
when the stalk is released it returns
to position 0 automatically stopping
the wiper.
Pulling the stalk slightly towards the steer-
ing wheel (unstable position), regardless
of the position of the knurled ring, oper-
ates the windscreen washer and if the
dipped or high beams are on, also the
headlight washer (where provided).
Windscreen wiper will then perform three
wiping strokes.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 motor
protection cutting in and wiper opera-
tion inhibition for few seconds as a con-
sequence. If operation is not restored
(also after restarting the vehicle by the
ignition key) contact Fiat Dealership.
To facilitate windscreen washing or blade
replacement, with ignition key at Sor re-
moved, move the stalk down within 60
seconds (impulse); wipers will stop in ver-
tical position so they can be raised to re-
place blades or for cleaning.
IMPORTANT To prevent damaging the
body, before raising the wipers set them in
vertical position as described previously.

AND CONTROLS
The rain sensor (fitted on certain versions
only), is an electronic device coupled to
the windscreen wiper with the purpose of
adjusting automatically, during the inter-
mittent operation, the frequency of the
windscreen wiper strokes as to the rain
intensity.
The rain sensor will activate automatical-
ly when moving the stalk to AUTO; its
range varies gradually from windscreen
wiper off (no wipe) when the windscreen
is dry, to wiper at first continuous speed
with heavy rain.
The activation of the rain sensor is sig-
nalled by a control acquisition “stroke”. RAIN SENSOR
(where provided)
The rain sensor is located behind the dri-
ving mirror in contact with the windscreen
and has the purpose of adjusting auto-
matically, during the intermittent opera-
tion, the frequency of the windscreen
wiper strokes as to the rain intensity.
IMPORTANT Keep clean the glass in the
sensor area.
