tive to the dipped beam headlights for dri-
ving during the daytime in countries where it is com-
pulsory to have lights on during the day, and they
are also permitted in those countries where this not

“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel (temporary po-
sition) to operate the windscreen 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 wiper stops working three strokes after releasing the
stalk. A further stroke 6 seconds later completes the wip-
ing operation.RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets where provided)
The rain sensor is located behind the rear-view mirror in
contact with the windscreen and has the purpose of au-
tomatically adjusting the frequency of the windscreen wiper
strokes depending on the intensity of the rain during in-
termittent operation.
IMPORTANT Keep the glass in the sensor area clean.
Activation
Move the twist switch on the right-hand stalk to
≤fig.
51. The activation of the sensor is signalled by a wiper
stroke. Through the setup menu it is possible to increase
the sensitivity of the rain sensor. The increasing of the rain
sensor sensitivity is also signalled by a stroke of the wipers.
If the windscreen washer is used with the rain sensor ac-
tivated, the normal washing cycle is performed, after which
the rain sensor resumes its normal automatic operation.
Deactivation
Move the stalk twist switch away from
≤fig. 51 or turn
the ignition key to STOP. When the engine is next start-
ed (key at MAR), the sensor will not be reactivated even
if the twist switch is still at
≤fig. 51. To activate the rain
sensor, you have to move the twist switch from
≤to an-
other position and then back to
≤. Rain sensor activa-
tion will be indicated by at least one wiper stroke, even if
the windscreen is dry.

Do not use the windscreen wipers to re-
move layers of snow or ice from the wind-
screen. In such conditions, the windscreen
wipers may be subjected to excessive stress,
prompting intervention from the motor protection
which prevents operation for a few seconds. If op-
eration is not restored, even after turning the key
and restarting the engine, go to a Fiat Dealership.
When released, the stalk returns to its default position and
the wipers automatically switch off.
With the twist switch at
≤, the windscreen wiper will
automatically adapt to the speed of the car.
IMPORTANT Replace the wiper blades as specified in the
“Maintenance and care” section.

IMPORTANT With central locking on, pulling the internal
handle of one of the front doors will unlock that door.
Individual doors can be unlocked by pulling the internal
handle of one of the rear doors.
If a power supply is not present (blown fuse, battery dis-
connected, etc.) it is, however, possible to lock the doors
manually.
After exceeding 20 km/h, all the doors will be locked au-
tomatically if the setup menu function has been selected
(see “Multifunction display” paragraph in this section).
DEAD LOCK
(for versions/markets where provided)
This safety device inhibits the operation of:
❒interior handles;
❒locking/unlocking button A-fig. 87;
thereby preventing the opening of the doors from inside
the passenger compartment if there has been a break-in
attempt (e.g. a window has been broken).
The dead lock device therefore offers the best possible
protection against break-in attempts. We recommend en-
gaging it whenever the vehicle is parked and left unat-
tended.
Once the dead lock system is engaged, it
is impossible to open the doors from inside
the vehicle. Before getting out of the car, please
therefore check that there is no-one left inside.
If the remote control battery is flat, the system
can be disengaged only by inserting the key in ei-
ther of the door locks as described previously: in
this case the device remains active only for the
rear doors.
WARNING
Device activation
The dead lock device is automatically activated on every
door when you double-tap button Áon the remote con-
trol fig. 85.
Device activation is indicated by 3 flashes of the direction
indicators and the flashing of the LED on button A-fig. 87
on the dashboard.
If one or more of the doors is not closed correctly, the
dead lock device will not activate, thus preventing a per-
son from getting stuck inside the passenger compartment
by entering the car through, and then closing, the open
door.

Remember that, in the event of a violent
collision, back seat passengers not wearing
seat belts represent a serious danger not only to
themselves but also to the front seat passengers.

cured on both sides so that it does not fly
forwards in the event of sharp braking and injure
passengers.

Do not place a cradle seat facing back-
wards on the front seat if the passenger
side airbag is enabled. Deployment of the airbag
in an accident could cause fatal injuries to the ba-
by regardless of the severity of the collision. It is
advisable to always carry children in dedicated
child seats on the rear seat, which is the most pro-
tected position in the event of an accident.
WARNING
SERIOUS HAZARD Should it be ab-
solutely necessary to carry a child on the
front seat in a backwards-facing cradle
seat, the passenger’s front and side
airbags should be deactivated through the
setup menu. Deactivation can be verified by
checking the “warning light on the instrument
panel. Also, the passenger seat should be as far
back as possible to avoid contact between the
child seat and the dashboard.
WARNING
The diagrams are indicative and provid-
ed for assembly purposes only. Refer to
the instructions supplied with the child seat.
WARNING
Some child restraint systems for weight
groups 0 and 1 have a rear attachment
and seat belts for securing the child. Due to their
weight, they may be dangerous if incorrectly
mounted (e.g. if fastened to the car seat belts with
a cushion in between). Follow the assembly in-
structions carefully.
