SENSOR (daylight sensor)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It detects the changes of the external light
intensity of the vehicle according to the

tivity is, the smaller the amount of exter-
nal light necessary to control the switch-
ing-on of the external headlights will be.

way, the automatic activation of the
side/taillights and dipped beam headlights
is simultaneously enabled according to the

WINDOW WASHING
The right stalk fig. 59controls windscreen
wiper/washer and heated rear window
wiper/washer operation (for versions/
markets, where provided).
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 (for versions/markets,
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.
