It works only when the ignition key
is at M.
0- Windscreen wiper off.
I- Flick wipe.
1- Slow continuous wipe.

AUTO– Rain sensor activation (au-
tomatic operation). On releasing the
stalk it returns to position 0.To make maintenance easier, e.g. to
wash the windscreen or replace the
wiper blades when the ignition key is
at Sor has been removed, pull the
stalk downwards, so that the blades
stay up and stop in that position. Thus
it will be possible to lift the blades and
clean or replace them.
This function works only for 60 sec-
onds after turning the key to Sor re-
moving it.The rain sensor is provided only with
some versions. It is an electronic de-
vice connected to the windscreen
wiper and its function is to adapt flick
wipe to the rain intensity.
All the functions controlled by the
right-hand stalk are not altered.
The rain sensor is switched on au-
tomatically and turns the stalk to AU-
TO position. It gradually passes from
the windscreen wiper off, when the
windscreen is dry, to the slow con-
tinuous wipe when the rain is intense.
The rain sensor activation is signalled
by one flick wipe.

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 (for versions/markets, where pro-
vided) also the headlight washer, pro-
vided 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.

FUEL CUT-OFF
SWITCH
This is a safety switch controlled by
the Airbag control unit. Such switch
cuts in on collision and cuts off the fu-
el supply. This results in the engine
stalling.
The multifunction display informs the
driver that the fuel has been cut off
with a dedicated message.If you do not notice fuel leaks
and the vehicle is in a fit state to
continue on its way, proceed as
follows:
– turn the key to S;
– extract the ignition key; rein-
troduce it and start the engine as
usual.
HANDBRAKE

The handbrake lever is situated next
to the driver’s seat.
Pull the handbrake lever Aupwards
as far as it will go to apply the hand-
brake.
When the ignition key is at Mthe
panel indicator light
xwill come on.
If, after a collision, you
can smell fuel or notice
leaks from the fuel-feed
system, to avoid the risk of fire,
do not re-enable the switch.It should not be possible
to move the vehicle after
the lever has gone
through three or four “clicks”. If
this is not the case, have it ad-
justed at a Fiat Dealership.
To release the handbrake:
– slightly lift the handbrake lever A
and press release button B;
– keep the button pressed in and
lower the lever. The instrument pan-
el indicator light
xwill go out.

It is dangerous to let the
engine run in a garage or
other closed area. The
engine consumes oxygen and
gives off carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide and other poisonous
fumes.
– Make sure the handbrake is up and
the gear lever in Por N: the engine
can be started only with the gear in
these two positions.
– Turn the ignition key to Dwithout
pressing the accelerator pedal.
If the engine does not start at the
first attempt, return the ignition key
to Sbefore trying to start the engine
again.
