2012 FIAT BRAVO interior lights

SAFE LOCK DEVICE(for versions/markets, where provided)
This safety device inhibits the operation of:
❒interior handles;
❒door locking/unlocking button fig. 13 on the
central trim;
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 safe lock device therefore offers the best
possible protection against break-in attempts. We
recommend engaging it whenever the vehicle is
parked and left unattended.
WARNING
Once the safe lock system is engaged, it
is impossible to open the doors from
inside the car.Therefore, before getting out of
the car check that there is no one left on
board.
WARNING
If the key with remote control battery
is flat , the system can be engaged by
using the metal insert in the door catch as
described previously: in this case, the device
only remains active for the rear doors.

Never use the windscreen wipers to
remove layers of snow or ice from the
windscreen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wipers may be subjected to excessive
stress and the motor protection, which prevents
operation for a few seconds, may intervene. If
operation is not restored, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
"Smart washing" functionfig. 52
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel (unstable
position) to operate the windscreen washer.
Keep the stalk pulled, with just one movement, to
operate the washer jet and the windscreen wiper;
the latter automatically turns on if you keep the
stalk pulled for more than half a second.
The windscreen wiper stops operating a few
strokes after releasing the stalk; a further “cleaning
stroke”, after a few seconds, completes the wiping
operation.
RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The rain sensor A fig. 53 is located behind the
interior rear view mirror in contact with the
windscreen and has the purpose of automatically
adjusting the frequency of the windscreen wiper
strokes depending on the intensity of the rain
during intermittent operation.The sensor has an adjustment range that varies
progressively from wiper still (no stroke) when the
windscreen is dry, to wiper at first continuous
speed (slow continuous operation) with intense
rain.

the interior of the car may be covered with dusty
residue. This dust can irritate skin and eyes. Wash
with mild soap and water in the event of exposure.
3) Should an accident occur in which any of the
safety devices are activated, take the vehicle to
a Fiat Dealership to have the activated devices
replaced and to have the whole system checked.
Every control, repair and replacement operation
concerning the airbags must only be carried out at
a Fiat Dealership.
If you are having the car scrapped, have the airbag
system deactivated at a Fiat Dealership first. If
the car changes ownership, the new owner must be
informed of the method of use of the airbags and
the above warnings, and also be given this "Owner's
Handbook".
4) Pretensioners, front airbags and front side bags
are deployed differently according to the type of
collision. Failure to deploy of one or more of
the devices does not indicate a system malfunction.
WARNING
If the warning light
does not turn on
when the key is turned to MAR-ON,
or if it stays on when travelling (together with
the message on the display on some versions),
there could be a failure in the restraint
systems. If this is the case, the airbags or
pretensioners may not trigger in the event of
an accident or, less likely, they may trigger
accidentally. Contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately to have the system checked.
WARNING
The expiration dates of the explosive
charge and the clock spring are shown
on a specific label contained in the lower glove
compar tment . Contact a Fiat Dealership to
have the devices replaced when the expiration
date approaches.
WARNING
Do not travel carrying objects in your
lap, in front of your chest or between
your lips (pipe, pencils, etc .): they could cause
severe injur y if the airbag is deployed in an
accident .
