Proceed as follows:
❒stalk up (position 1): right-hand direc-
tion indicator;
❒stalk down (position 2): left-hand di-
rection indicator.
Instrument panel warning light
Eor Rwill flash.
Indicators are switched off automatically
when the steering wheel is straightened.
If you want the indicator to flash briefly
(e.g.: to show that you are about to change
lane), move the stalk up or down with-
out clicking into position.
When released the stalk will return to its
home position automatically.
fig. 57F0P0050mfig. 56F0P0049m
To switch these lights off fig. 56:
❒turn the knurled ring Bas shown by the
arrow, unstable position.
Front and rear fog lights turn off auto-
matically when turning the lights off or
when bringing lights back to position 6,
therefore for turning rear fog lights on
again you have to repeat the previous op-
eration.
These lights will turn on automatically at
next starting if they were on when the en-
gine was previously switched off.IMPORTANT Rear fog lights may be both-
ersome for the vehicle behind, they shall
therefore be used only if really necessary.
IMPORTANT Front fog lights, rear fog
lights and main beams can be turned on
with key at Sor removed. When opening
the doors a buzzer will sound to warn the
driver that lights are on.

Follow me home (where provided)
This function allows the illumination of the
space in front of the vehicle for a preset
period of time (45 seconds). To activate
it the ignition key shall be at Sor removed
and the left stalk shall be pushed towards
the dashboard within 2 minutes from
when the engine is turned off.
If the vehicle is fitted with automatic de-
vice for turning on side lights and dipped
beams, the follow me home function will
activate automatically when opening the
doors.AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS
SENSOR (daylight sensor)
(where provided)
It detects the changes of the external light
intensity of the vehicle according to the
light sensitivity set: the greater the sensi-
tivity is, the smaller the amount of exter-
nal light necessary to control the switch-
ing-on of the external headlights will be.
Activation fig. 58
Turn the knurled ring to AUTO: in this
way, the automatic activation of the
side/taillights and dipped beam headlights
is simultaneously enabled according to the
external luminosity.

Deactivation fig. 58
Turn the knurled ring back to å; deacti-
vation is indicated by the dedicated mes-
sage on the display.
The sensor is not able to detect the fog
presence, lights shall therefore be
switched on manually.

WINDOW WASHING
The right stalk fig. 59controls windscreen
wiper/washer and heated rear window
wiper/washer operation (where provid-
ed).
WINDSCREEN WASHER/
WIPER
This device can only work when the igni-
tion key is at M.
The stalk ring nut can be moved to four
different positions:
0windscreen wiper off;
Iflick wipe;
1continuous slow;
2continuous fast.
STemporary operation (one wipe):
when the stalk is released it returns
to position 0 automatically stopping
the wiper.
Pulling the stalk slightly towards the steer-
ing wheel (unstable position), regardless
of the position of the knurled ring, oper-
ates the windscreen washer and if the
dipped or high beams are on, also the
headlight washer (where provided).
Windscreen wiper will then perform three
wiping strokes.Never use the window wiper
to remove ice or snow from
the windscreen. In these con-
ditions, the wiper is submitted
to excessive effort that results in motor
protection cutting in and wiper opera-
tion inhibition for few seconds as a con-
sequence. If operation is not restored
(also after restarting the vehicle by the
ignition key) contact Fiat Dealership.
To facilitate windscreen washing or blade
replacement, with ignition key at Sor re-
moved, move the stalk down within 60
seconds (impulse); wipers will stop in ver-
tical position so they can be raised to re-
place blades or for cleaning.
IMPORTANT To prevent damaging the
body, before raising the wipers set them in
vertical position as described previously.

The rain sensor (fitted on certain versions
only), is an electronic device coupled to
the windscreen wiper with the purpose of
adjusting automatically, during the inter-
mittent operation, the frequency of the
windscreen wiper strokes as to the rain
intensity.
The rain sensor will activate automatical-
ly when moving the stalk to AUTO; its
range varies gradually from windscreen
wiper off (no wipe) when the windscreen
is dry, to wiper at first continuous speed
with heavy rain.
The activation of the rain sensor is sig-
nalled by a control acquisition “stroke”. RAIN SENSOR
(where provided)
The rain sensor is located behind the dri-
ving mirror in contact with the windscreen
and has the purpose of adjusting auto-
matically, during the intermittent opera-
tion, the frequency of the windscreen
wiper strokes as to the rain intensity.
IMPORTANT Keep clean the glass in the
sensor area.
If the rain sensor is fitted fig. 60:

2Continuous fast.

matic operation). When the stalk is re-

Operating the windscreen washer with
the rain sensor activated the normal wash-
ing cycle is performed at the end of which
the rain sensor resumes its normal auto-
matic function.
So as to deactivate the rain sensor, put the
windscreen wiper command in the I, 1or
2positions. The deactivation is accompa-
nied by a message on the display.
To activate the rain sensor you have to
move the stalk to another position and
then back to AUTO.The rain sensor is able to recognize and
automatically adjust itself in the presence
of the following particular conditions:
❒impurities on the controlled surface
(salt, dirt, etc...);
❒streaks of water produced by worn
wiper blades;
❒difference between day and night (hu-
man eye is more bothered by wet glass
at night).Pulling the stalk towards the steering
wheel (unstable position), regardless of
the position of the knurled ring, operates
the windscreen washer and if the dipped
or high beams are on, also the headlight
washer (where provided).
Windscreen wiper will then perform three
wiping strokes.
Do not activate the rain sen-
sor when washing the vehi-
cle at automatic car-wash stations.
WARNING
When cleaning or washing
the windscreen make sure the
rain sensor is off.
WARNING
Do not activate the rain sen-
sor if the windscreen is icy.

Headlight washers are “retractable”, i.e.:
they are located inside the front bumpers
and they are activated when (with dipped
beams on) the windscreen washer is op-

IMPORTANT Check at regular intervals
correct operation and cleanness of noz-

Never use the rear window
wiper to remove ice or snow
from the rear window. In these
conditions, the wiper is sub-

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 Deal-

SPEED REGULATOR
(where provided)
“It is the speed desired by the driver”.
This driving aid allows, in case of smooth-
flowing traffic, to maintain the speed pro-
grammed by the driver constant, except
in the case of a very steep hill.
In order to be programmed or activated,
the speed of the vehicle must be more
than 40 km/h, in at least the 4th gear.When vehicles are equipped with both the
restrictor and the regulator (depending on
the country of commercialisation and the
engine), the two functions cannot be ac-
tivated at the same time.This regulator shows on the control lock
the state of the function selection and it
shows the programmed speed:
