Move the lever to position A-fig. 47 (temporary position)
to limit operation to the time for which the lever is held
in this position. When released, the lever will return to
its default position and the wiper will be automatically
stopped. With the twist switch at

will automatically adapt to the speed of the vehicle.
With the windscreen wipers working, the rear window
wiper is automatically activated when reverse gear is en-
gaged.
WINDOW CLEANING
The right lever fig. 47 controls windscreen wiper/washer
and heated rear window wiper/washer operation (for ver-
sions/markets where provided).
WINDSCREEN WIPER/WASHER

The right lever can assume four different positions:
Owindscreen wiper off.
≤intermittent operation.
≥continuous slow operation.
¥continuous fast operation.
Do not use the windscreen wipers to re-
move layers of snow or ice from the wind-

motor protection which prevents operation for
a few seconds may trip. If the issue persists, contact
the Fiat Service Network.

Memorizing vehicle speed
Proceed as follows:
❒turn twist switch A-fig. 48 to ON and depress the ac-
celerator pedal until the vehicle reaches the required
speed;
❒move the stalk upwards (+) for at least one second,
then release it. The vehicle speed is now memorised
and you can therefore release the accelerator pedal.
If necessary (when overtaking for instance) acceleration is
possible by simply pressing the accelerator pedal: releas-
ing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle will return to the
speed memorised previously.
CRUISE CONTROL
(for versions/markets where provided)
This is an electronic driving aid that allows you to drive
at a speed of above 30 km/h on long and straight dry roads
with few driving changes (e.g. motorways) at a preset speed
without having to press the accelerator pedal. Therefore
it is not recommended to use this device on extra-urban
roads with traffic. Do not use it in town.
Switching the device on
Turn the twist switch A - fig. 48 to ON.
When the device is activated, the warning light Ücomes
on together with the relevant message in the instrument
panel (for versions/markets where provided).
The speed adjustment function cannot be activated in 1st
or reverse gear; it is advisable to activate the function in
4th or higher gears.
When travelling downhill with the device activated, the ve-
hicle speed may exceed the memorised one.

Each movement of the lever will correspond to a slight re-
duction in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the lever
held downwards will correspond to a continuous speed
reduction.
Switching the device off
The device can be switched off by the driver in the fol-
lowing ways:
❒turning the twist switch A to the OFF position;
❒switching off the engine.
Deactivating the function
The device can be de-activated by the driver in the fol-
lowing ways:
❒pressing the brake pedal when the device is adjusting
the speed;
❒pressing the clutch pedal when the device is adjusting
the speed;
❒pressing the button B – fig. 48 when the device is ad-
justing the speed (for versions/markets, where pro-
vided);
❒pressing the accelerator pedal; in this case, the sys-
tem is not really de-activated but the request for ac-
celeration takes priority. The cruise control is, how-
ever, active and you do not need to press button B -
fig. 48 to restore the previous conditions after accel-
erating.
Restoring the memorized speed
If the device has been switched off, for example by press-
ing the brake or clutch pedal, the memorized speed can
be restored as follows:
❒accelerate gradually until reaching a speed approaching
the memorised speed;
❒engage the gear selected at the time of speed memo-
rizing;
❒press button B-fig. 48.
Increasing the memorized speed
This can be done in two ways:
❒by pressing the accelerator and then memorizing the
new speed reached;
or
❒by moving the lever upwards (+).
Each operation of the lever will correspond to a slight in-
crease in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the lever
upwards will correspond to a continuous speed increase.
Reducing the memorized speed
This can be done in two ways:
❒by turning the device off and then memorizing a new
speed;
or
❒by moving the lever downwards (–) until reaching the
new speed, which will be memorized automatically.
