TURN SIGNAL OPERATION
With the ignition switch in the “ON” po-
sition, move the lever up or down to ac-
tivate the right or left turn signals.
Normal turn signal
Move the lever all the way upward or
downward to signal. When the turn is
completed, the signal will cancel and the
lever will return to its normal position.Lane change signal
Some times, such as when changing lanes,
the steering wheel is not turned far
enough to cancel the turn signal. For con-
venience, you can flash the turn signal by
moving the lever part way and holding it
there. The lever will return to its normal
position when you release it. REAR FOG LIGHT SWITCH
To turn the rear fog light on, twist the
knob as shown in the illustration with the
head light switch in the third position.
When the rear fog light is on, an indicator
light on the instrument cluster will come
on. Do not turn the rear fog light switch
unless the head light switch is in the third
position.
NOTE When the head light switch is re-
turned to the “OFF” position, the rear fog
light switch will be canceled automatically.

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.

REAR WINDOW
WIPER/WASHER
SWITCH
(for versions/markets, where provided)
To turn the rear wiper on, twist the rear
wiper switch on the end of the lever for-
ward to the “ON” position. If your vehi-
cle is equipped the “INT” position, the
rear wiper operates intermittently when
you twist the switch forward to the “INT”
position. To turn the rear wiper off, twist
the switch rearward to the “OFF” posi-
tion.
With the rear wiper in the “OFF” posi-
tion, twist the switch rearward and hold
it there to spray window washer fluid.
With the rear wiper in the “ON” position,
turn the switch forward and hold it there
to spray window washer fluid.IMPORTANT Clear ice or snow from the
rear window and rear wiper blade before
using the rear wiper. Accumulated ice or
snow could prevent the wiper blade from
moving, causing damage to the wiper mo-
tor.

Intermittent wiper
IMPORTANT To help prevent damage to
the windshield wiper and washer system
components, you should take the follow-
ing precautions:
❒Do not continue to hold in the lever
when there is no windshield washer flu-
id being sprayed or the washer motor
can be damaged.
❒Do not attempt to remove dirt from a
dry windshield with the wipers or you
can damage the windshield and the
wiper blades. Always wet the wind-
shield with washer fluid before oper-
ating the wipers.
❒Clear ice or packed snow from the
wiper blades before using the wipers.
❒Check the washer fluid level regularly.
Check it often when the weather is bad.
❒Only fill the washer fluid reservoir
3/4 full during cold weather to allow
room for expansion if the temperature
falls low enough to freeze the solution.

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);
057-070 SEDICI LUM FL GB 1E 19-06-2009 10:32 Pagina 69

70
❒ following ESP®system intervention (for
versions/markets, where provided),
to reset the stored speed, follow these
steps.
❒ Accelerate gently, bringing the vehicle
close to the stored speed.
❒ Engage the gear selected at the time the
previous speed was stored.
❒ Press the “RES/ACC” button (2).
INCREASE IN STORED SPEED
When Cruise Control is operating, there
are two ways to increase the stored
speed:
❒ by pressing the accelerator and then
storing the new speed reached,
or
❒ by pressing the “RES/ACC” button (2).
Each time the button is pressed, this
corresponds to a constant increase in
speed, while holding the button down
increases the speed in a continuous
manner.REDUCTION OF STORED
SPEED
When Cruise Control is operating, there
are two ways to reduce the stored speed:
❒ by disengaging the device and then sto-
ring the new speed,
or
❒ by pressing the “SET/COAST” button
(3). Each time the button is pressed, this
corresponds to a constant decrease in
speed, while holding the button down
decreases the speed in a continuous
manner.
DISENGAGING OF THE DEVICE
The device is disengaged in one of the fol-
lowing cases:
❒ pressing the “CANCEL” button (4);
❒ pressing the brake pedal;
❒ pressing the clutch (on vehicles with
manual gearbox);
❒ switching off the engine (starter swit-
ch set to “OFF”);
❒ by disabling the system (“MAIN” but-
ton (1) set to “OFF”);
❒ when the vehicle speed is reduced by
approximately 20% compared with the
set speed;❒ when the vehicle speed is below 36
km/h (22 mph);
❒ in the event of ESP
®system interven-
tion (where provided);
❒ in the event of system breakdown.
NOTE By pressing the accelerator, the sy-
stem is not actually disengaged, but the re-
quired acceleration takes precedence over
maintaining the stored speed: Cruise Con-
trol, however, remains enabled and will
return to the previous condition once the
accelerator has been released, without ha-
ving to press the “RES/ACC” button (2).
IMPORTANT When travelling with the
device on, never set the gearshift lever to
neutral.
IMPORTANT In the event of malfunction
or failure, disable the device (“MAIN” but-
ton (1) set to “OFF”) and see your Fiat
Dealership.
