❒upwards (position 11): activation of
right direction indicator;
❒
downwards (position 2): activation of
left direction indicator.
Warning light
ForDcomes on inter-
mittently on the instrument panel.
Indicators are switched off automatically
when the steering wheel is straightened.
If you want the indicator to flash briefly to
show that you are about to change lane,
move the stalk up or down without click-
ing into position (unstable position). When
released the stalk will return to its home
position.“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
With the ignition key on STOPor re-
moved, pull the stalk towards the steering
wheel within 2 minutes from when the en-
gine is turned off.

lights will remain on for an extra 30 sec-
onds up to a maximum of 210 seconds;
then the lights are switched off automati-
cally. AUTOMATIC LIGHT SENSORS
(dusk sensor)
(where provided)
This sensor detects changes of external
lights according to the sensitivity of the
setting: the higher the sensitivity, the low-
er the amount of external light needed to
switch the lights on. The sensitivity of the
dusk sensor is adjusted by means of the

Operation in position Eis limited to the
time during which the lever is kept in that
position manually. When released, the
stalk will return to position Aand the
wiper will be automatically stopped.
IMPORTANT Replace wiper blades as
specified in the “Maintenance and care”
chapter. 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-
justing 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 stalk down by one click.
The activation of the rain sensor is sig-
nalled by a control acquisition flick.
Turn the ring F-fig. 73to increase the rain
sensor sensitivity.
The increase of the sensitivity of the rain
sensor is signalled by a control and acqui-
sition flick.
The smart cycle is started when the wind-
screen wiper is turned on while the rain
sensor is active without supplementary
flick after 5 seconds. The sensor will re-
sume normal automatic operation. “Smart wash” function
fig. 72
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 jet will be released immediately when
the wiper stops after four flicks.
A further stroke after 5 seconds com-
pletes the wiping operation. 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 rear window wiper
operation is not reset, contact the Fi-
at Dealership.

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.
TURING THE DEVICE ON
Turn the ring A-fig. 75to ON.
The device can be turned on in 4th or 5th
gear only. Travelling downhill with the de-
vice engaged, the car speed may increase
more than the memorised one.
When the device is activated the warn-
ing light
Üturns on together with the rel-
evant message on the instrument panel
(where provided).
fig. 75F0H0074m
STORING THE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❒turn ring A-fig. 75to ONand press
the accelerator pedal to the required
speed;
❒push the lever upwards (+) for at
least 1 second, then release it: the
car speed will be stored. The accel-
erator pedal may be released.
If needed (e.g. for overtaking), press the
accelerator pedal to accelerate: the car
will return to the previously set speed
when the pedal is released.RESTORING MEMORIZED
SPEED
If the device has been disengaged, for ex-
ample by pressing the brake or clutch ped-
al, the memorized speed can be reset as
follows:
❒accelerate gradually until reaching a
speed approaching the stored speed;
❒engage the gear selected when the
speed was stored (4th or 5th gear);
❒press button RES B-fig. 75.
INCREASING THE MEMORIZED
SPEED
The stored speed can be increased in two
ways:
❒by pressing the accelerator and then
storing the new speed reached;
or
❒ by moving the stalk upwards (+).
Each operation of the stalk will correspond
to a slight increase in speed (about 1 km/h),
while keeping the stalk upwards will cor-
respond to a continuous speed increase.
When travelling with the de-
vice on, never set the
gearshift lever to neutral.
