Never extract the key while the vehicle is
moving. The steering wheel should lock au-
tomatically as soon as it is turned. This is always
the case, even when the vehicle is being towed.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any
aftersales operation involving steering sys-
tem or steering column modifications (e.g. installing
an anti-theft device) that could badly affect per-
formance and safety, invalidate the warranty and
also result in the vehicle failing to comply with reg-
ulations.
WARNING
When getting out of the vehicle, always re-
move the key to prevent someone from
accidentally activating the controls. Remember to
engage the handbrake. Engage first gear if the ve-
hicle is parked uphill or reverse gear if the vehi-
cle is parked downhill. Never leave children un-
attended in the vehicle.

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
≤, the windscreen wiper
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
This operates only with the ignition key turned to MAR.
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-
screen. In such conditions, the windscreen
wipers may be subjected to excessive stress and the
motor protection which prevents operation for
a few seconds may trip. If the issue persists, contact
the Fiat Service Network.
“Smart washing” function
Pull the lever towards the steering wheel (temporary po-
sition) to operate the screen washer jet. Keeping the lever
pulled for more than half a second, with just one move-
ment it is possible to operate the washer jet and the wiper
at the same time. The wiper stops working three strokes
after releasing the lever.
A further stroke after approximately six seconds com-
pletes the wiping cycle.
