IGNITION DEVICE
The key can be turned to 3 different po-
sitions fig. 21:
❒STOP: engine off, key extractable,
steering locked. Some electric devices
(e.g. sound system, central door lock-
ing system, etc.) may work.
❒MAR: driving position. All electrical
devices work regularly.
❒AVV: engine starting (unstable posi-
tion).
The ignition switch is fitted with a safety
system that, in the event the engine is not
started, turns back the ignition key to
STOPbefore repeating the starting op-
eration.
fig. 21F0H0021m
STEERING LOCK
Engagement
When the key is in position STOP, re-
move the key and turn the steering wheel
until it is locked.
Switching off
Rock the steering wheel slightly as you
turn the ignition key to MAR.
If the ignition device is tam-
pered with (e.g.: attempted
theft), have it checked over by a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
WARNING
Never extract the key while
the car is moving. The steer-
ing wheel would lock automatically
as soon as the steering wheel is
turned. This also applies to when the
car is towed.
WARNING
Always remove the key when
you leave your car to pre-
vent someone from accidentally op-
erating the controls. Remember to
engage the handbrake. Engage first
gear if the car is parked uphill or re-
verse if the car is parked downhill.
Never leave children unattended in
the car.

ADJUSTING THE
STEERING WHEEL
The steering wheel can be adjusted in
height A-fig. 32and in depth B.
To carry out the adjustment, proceed as
follows:
❒release the lever by pulling it towards
the steering wheel (position 2);
❒adjust the steering wheel as required;
❒release the lever by pushing it for-
wards (position 1);
Any adjustment of the steer-
ing wheel position must be
carried out only with the car station-
ary and the engine turned off.
WARNING
Under no circumstances
should aftermarket opera-
tions involving steering system or
steering column modifications (e.g.:
installation of anti-theft device) be
carried out that could badly affect
performance and safety. This also
causes the warranty to become null
and void and results in vehicle non-
compliance with type-approval re-
quirements.
WARNING
ADJUSTING THE SEATS
FRONT SEATS
Fore/aft adjustment
Lift lever A-fig. 33and push the seat for-
wards and backwards to reach the re-
quired position: your arms should rest on
the steering wheel rim while you are dri-
ving.
Check that the seat is locked well on the
guides by trying to push it forwards and
backwards.
Adjusting the height
(driver’s seat) (where provided)
Move lever
B-fig. 33upwards or down-
wards to achieve the required height.

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.

ABS SYSTEM
If you have never driven a vehicle with
ABS before, it is advisable to perform a
few tests on slippery ground, naturally in
conditions of safety and respecting the
Highway Code of the country where you
are driving. Read the following informa-
tion carefully.
The car is fitted with an ABS braking sys-
tem, which prevents the wheels from lock-
ing when braking, makes the most of road
grip and gives the best control when
emergency braking under difficulty road
conditions.
System is completed by EBD (Electronic
Braking force Distribution), which dis-
tributes the braking action between front
and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT The braking system needs
to settle for approximately 500 km: dur-
ing this time, avoid sudden, repeated and
prolonged braking.ABS SYSTEM INTERVENTION
Intervention of the ABS is detected by a
slight pulsing of the brake pedal accom-
panied by noise: such an event indicates
that you need to adjust your speed to the
type of road on which you are travelling.
When the ABS intervenes it means that
you are approaching the grip limit be-
tween tyres and road: slow down to ex-
ploit all the available grip.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
ABS failure
ABS failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning light
>on the instrument pan-
el together with the dedicated message on
the multifunctional display (where pro-
vided), (see section “Warning lights and
messages”). In the case, the braking sys-
tem will work as normal without the ex-
tra potentials offered by the ABS system.
Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat Deal-
ership to have the system checked.EBD failure
ABS failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning light >and xon the instru-
ment panel together with the dedicated
message on the multifunctional display
(where provided), (see section “Warning
lights and messages”). In this case, the rear
wheels may suddenly lock and the vehi-
cle may swerve when braking sharply. Dri-
ve carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership
to have the system checked.
When the ABS intervenes it
means that you are ap-
proaching the grip limit between tyres
and road: slow down to exploit all the
available grip.
WARNING
The ABS exploits the tyre-
road grip at the best, but it
cannot improve it; you should there-
fore take every care when driving on
slippery surfaces without taking un-
necessary risks.
WARNING
When the ABS cuts in, and
you feel the brake pedal pul-
sating, do not remove your foot, but
keep it pressed; in doing so you will
stop in the shortest amount of space
possible under the current road con-
ditions.
