IGNITION SWITCH
fig. 11
The key can turn through 4 different
positions:
S -engine off, key can be removed
and the steering column is locked;
M -drive position;
D -starting the engine.When you get out of the
vehicle, always remove
the ignition key. This will
prevent anyone from accidental-
ly working controls. Remember
to apply the handbrake and, if the
vehicle is pointing uphill, first
gear. Put the vehicle into reverse
if it is pointing downhill. Never
leave children in the vehicle by
themselves.
STEERING COLUMN LOCK
To engage the lock:when the ig-
nition switch is in position S, remove
the ignition key and turn the steering
wheel until it locks.
To release the lock:move the
steering wheel slightly as you turn the
ignition key toM.Never remove the igni-
tion key while the vehicle
is moving. The steering
wheel would automatically lock
as soon as you tried to turn it.
This always applies, even when
the vehicle is being towed.

someone has tried to
steal your vehicle), get a Fiat
Dealership to check it over be-
fore you start driving again.

The light sensor is not
able do detect fog, there-
fore in this case it is nec-
essary to turn the lights on man-
ually.
IMPORTANTWhen the device is
on and the windscreen wiper is work-
ing, lights are automatically turned on.
When the lights come on automati-
cally it is also possible to turn on front
and rear foglights; when the lights are
turned off automatically, the latter
ones will be turned off as well.
IMPORTANTWhen the sensor is
on it is possible to have only the lights
flashing, therefore full-beam headlights
will have to be turned on manually, if
needed.

When the windscreen wiper is
turned on with the rain sensor already
working, the windscreen wiper wash-
es the windscreen regularly and, at the
end of its operation, the rain sensor
keeps on working automatically.
To switch off the rain sensor turn the
key to Sand when the engine is start-
ed again, the rain sensor will not be
turned on even if the stalk remained
in AUTO position.
To switch on the rain sensor, move
the stalk to another position and then
back to AUTO.The rain sensor can recognize and
automatically adapt to particular
weather conditions which require dif-
ferent operations:
– surface impurities (salt, dirt,…);
– water lines due to worn out wind-
screen wiper blades;
– difference between night and day
(the human eye is particularly annoyed
by the windscreen wet surface at night
rather than in the day).Windscreen washer fig. 102
This feature can only work with the
ignition key at M.
Pulling slightly the stalk towards the
steering wheel (unstable position), re-
gardless of the ring knob Aposition,
will operate the windscreen washer
and (where provided) also the head-
light washer, provided that dipped
beams or main beams are on. The
windscreen wiper will then flick thrice.
Do not switch on the
rain sensor when the car
is washed at an automat-
ic car-wash station.Check the sensor is off
before cleaning the wind-
screen.
Turn the rain sensor on
if there is ice on the wind-
screen.
