IGNITION SWITCH
VEHICLE WITHOUT KEYLESS
START SYSTEM
The ignition switch has the following four
positions:
LOCK
This is the normal parking position. It is
the only position in which the key can be
removed.
It locks the ignition, and prevents normal
use of the steering wheel after the key is
removed.
Manual transaxle vehicles
You must push in the key to turn it to the
“LOCK” position. It locks the ignition, and
prevents normal use of the steering wheel
after the key is removed.
Automatic transaxle vehicles
The gearshift lever must be in the “P”
(Park) position to turn the key to the
“LOCK” position. It locks the ignition and
prevents normal use of the steering wheel
and gearshift lever.
65D611
To avoid possible injury, do

If the lever is equipped with the “INT
TIME” control, turn the control forward
or rearward to adjust the intermittent
wiper operation to the desired interval.WINDSHIELD WASHER
To spray windshield washer fluid, pull the
lever toward you. The windshield wipers
will automatically turn on at low speed if
they are not already on and the “INT” po-
sition is equipped.
WINDSHIELD WIPER
AND WASHER LEVER
WINDSHIELD WIPERS
To turn the windshield wipers on, move
the lever down to one of the three op-
erating positions. In the “INT” position
(for versions/markets, where provided),
the wipers operate intermittently. The
“INT” position is very convenient for dri-
ving in mist or light rain. In the “LO” po-
sition, the wipers operate at a steady low
speed. In the “HI” position, the wipers op-
erate at a steady high speed. To turn off
the wipers, move the lever back to the
“OFF” position.
Move the lever up and hold it to the
“MIST” position, the windshield wipers
will turn on continuously at low speed.
IMPORTANT Never use the window
wiper to remove ice or snow from the
windscreen. In these conditions, the wiper
is submitted to excessive effort that re-
sults in motor protection cutting in and
wiper operation inhibition for few seconds
as a consequence. If operation is not re-
stored (also after restarting the vehicle by
the ignition key) contact Fiat Dealership.

To prevent windshield icing in
cold weather, turn on the de-
froster to heat the windshield before
and during windshield washer use.
Do not use radiator antifreeze in the
windshield washer reservoir. It can se-
verely impair visibility when sprayed
on the windshield, and can also dam-
age your vehicle’s paint.

CRUISE CONTROL
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Cruise Control is an electronic device to
assist driving, which makes it possible to
maintain the vehicle at the desired speed
without the need to press the accelerator.
The device must only be used in particu-
lar safety conditions, at a speed above 40
km/h (25 mph), on long stretches of strai-
ght, dry road with little change in speed
(e.g. motorways). Therefore it is not re-
commended to use this device on extra-
urban roads with traffic. Do not use it in
cities.
CONTROLS
1.MAIN button (ON: device enabled;
OFF: device disabled)
2.RES/ACC button (call up stored speed,
increase set speed)
3.SET/COAST button (store speed, de-
crease set speed)
4.CANCEL button (switch off device)
5.CRUISE warning light (device enabled)
6.SET warning light (device working)ENABLING OF THE DEVICE
To enable the device and prepare it for
operation, press the “MAIN” button (1).
The “CRUISE” warning light on the in-
strument panel comes on to signal that the
device has been enabled. The warning li-
ght remains on until the device is disabled.
NOTE
❒ In models with a manual gearbox, it is
recommended to use the device only at
high gears (4th, 5th of 6th).
❒ When travelling downhill with the de-
vice engaged, the vehicle speed may sli-
ghtly exceed the stored one.STORAGE OF VEHICLE SPEED
In order to store a speed and activate
Cruise Control, follow these steps.
❒ Enable the device and press the
“MAIN” button (1).
❒ Press the accelerator, bringing the vehi-
cle up to the desired speed.
❒ Press the “SET/COAST” button (3):
vehicle speed is stored and so it is pos-
sible to release the accelerator.
NOTE If required (e.g. during overtaking),
it's possible to momentarily increase the
speed of the vehicle by pushing the acce-
lerator. The vehicle will return to the pre-
viously set speed when the pedal is relea-
sed.
RESETTING STORED SPEED
If the device is disengaged for one of the
following reasons:
❒ pressing the brake pedal;
❒ pressing the clutch (on vehicles with
manual gearbox);
❒ pressing the “CANCEL” button (4);

The light should go out after starting the
engine and fully releasing the parking
brake, if the fluid level in the brake fluid
reservoir is adequate.
The light also comes on together with the
ABS warning light when the rear brake
force control function (Proportioning
valve function) of the ABS system fails.
If the brake system warning light comes
on while you are driving the vehicle, it may
mean that there is something wrong with
the vehicle’s brake system. If this happens,
you should:
❒Pull off the road and stop carefully.
❒Test the brakes by carefully starting and
stopping at the side of the road.
– If you determine that it is safe, drive
carefully at low speed to the near-
est dealer for repairs, or
WARNING AND
INDICATOR LIGHTS
BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING
LIGHT
65D477
For working check of this light, there are
following three different type operations
depending on the vehicle’s specification.
❒The light comes on briefly when the ig-
nition switch is turned to the “ON”
and/or “START” position.
❒The light comes on when the parking
brake is engaged with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position.
❒The light comes on when under either
or both of above two conditions.
The light also comes on when the fluid in
the brake fluid reservoir falls below the
specified level.
Remember that stopping dis-
tance may be longer, you
may have to push harder on the ped-
al, and the pedal may go down far-
ther than normal.
WARNING
If any of the following con-
ditions occur, you should im-
mediately ask your Fiat Dealership to
inspect the brake system.
If the brake system warning light does
not go out after the engine has been
started and the parking brake has
been fully released.
If the brake system warning light does
not come on when the ignition switch
is turned to the “ON” or “START”
position.
If the brake system warning light
comes on at any time during vehicle
operation.
WARNING
– Have the vehicle towed to the nearest
dealer for repairs.
NOTE Because the disc brake system is
selfadjusting, the fluid level will drop as the
brake pads become worn. Replenishing
the brake fluid reservoir is considered
normal periodic maintenance.

system. If one of these happens, have the
system inspected by your Fiat Dealership.
If the ABS becomes inoperative, the brake
system will function as an ordinary brake
system that does not have this ABS sys-
tem.

When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, the light comes on briefly
so you can check that the light is working.
If the light stays on, or comes on when dri-
ving, there may be something wrong with
the ABS.
If this happens:
❒Pull off the road and stop carefully.
❒Turn the ignition switch to “LOCK”
and then start the engine again.
If the warning light comes on briefly then
turns off, the system is normal. If the warn-
ing light still stays on, the system will be
something wrong.
If the light and the brake system warning
light stay on, or come on simultaneously
when driving, your ABS system is
equipped with the rear brake force con-
trol function (Proportioning valve func-
tion) and there may be something wrong
with both the rear brake force control
function and anti-lock function of the ABSSLIP INDICATOR LIGHT
