WINDOW WASHING
The right-hand lever fig. 38 controls windscreen
wiper/washer and heated rear window wiper/washer
operation.
WINDSCREEN WASHER/WIPER
This operates only with the ignition key turned to MAR.
The twist switch on the right stalk can be moved to four
different positions:
Owindscreen wiper off;
≤intermittent operation;
≥slow operation;
¥fast operation.
Move the stalk to position A (unstable) to limit
operation to the time for which the stalk is held in this
position. When the stalk is moved, the light
3on the
instrument panel will light up and the corresponding
message will appear in the display (see “Warning lights
and messages”) as long as the function is on. The
warning light comes on when the lever is operated and
stays on until the function is automatically deactivated.
Each movement of the lever only increases the amount
of time the lights stay on.
Deactivation
Keep the lever pulled towards the steering wheel for
more than 2 seconds.
FRONT FOG LIGHTS WITH CORNERING
LIGHTS FUNCTION
When the dipped headlamps are on and the speed is
below 40 km/h, if the steering wheel rotation angle is
large or the direction indicators are on, a light
(incorporated in the fog light) will come on on the
relevant side to improve visibility at nightime. This
function can be activated/deactivated via the display
menu (see “Display functions” in this section).

Do not use the rear window wiper to
remove layers of snow or ice. In such
conditions, the rear window wiper may be
subjected to excessive stress, prompting
intervention from the motor protection which
prevents operation for a few seconds. If
operation is not restored, even after turning the
key and restarting the engine, go to an Abarth
Dealership.
Deactivation
Move the stalk twist switch away from the position
≤fig. 38 or turn the ignition key to STOP. When the
engine is next started (key at MAR), the sensor will not
be reactivated even if the twist switch is still at
≤fig.
38. To activate the rain sensor, you have to move the
twist switch from
≤to another position and then back
to
≤. Rain sensor activation will be indicated by at
least one wiper “stroke” even if the windscreen is dry.

The function stops when the stalk is released. Turning
the twist switch from Oto
'will operate the rear
window wiper as follows:
❒in intermittent mode if the windscreen wiper is off;
❒synchronised operation (but with half-stroke
frequency) when the windscreen wiper is on;
❒continuous operation with reverse engaged and
function on.The rear window wiper will operate in continuous
mode when the windscreen wiper is on and reverse
gear is engaged.
Pushing the stalk towards the dashboard (unstable
position) the rear window washer jet will activate.

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
opening handle of one of the rear doors.
If a power supply is not present (blown fuse, battery
disconnected, etc.) it is, however, possible to lock the
doors manually.
After exceeding 20 km/h, all the doors will be locked
automatically if the setup menu function has been
selected (see “Reconfigurable multifunction display”
paragraph in this section).
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 only be disengaged by using the key
metal insert in either of the door locks.
WARNING
DEAD LOCK
(for versions/markets where provided)
This safety device inhibits the operation of:
❒internal handles;
❒locking/unlocking button A-fig. 69;
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
engaging it whenever the vehicle is parked and left
unattended.

Device activation
The dead lock device is automatically activated on every
door when pressing the remote control button Ábriefly
twice, fig. 67.
Device activation is indicated by 3 flashes of the
direction indicators and the flashing of the LED in
button A – fig. 69 located in the dashboard controls.
If one or both doors are not closed correctly, the dead
lock device will not activate, thus preventing a person
from getting stuck inside the passenger compartment by
entering the car through, and then closing, the open
door.
Device deactivation
The system is disabled automatically on every door
when:
❒opening the driver’s door using the mechanical key;
❒unlocking doors using the remote control;
❒turning the ignition key to the MAR position.
