WINDOW WASHING
The right stalk fig. 50controls windscreen
wiper/washer and rear heated window
wiper/washer operation (where provid-
ed).
WINDSCREEN WIPER\WASHER
The device can work only when the igni-
tion key is on MAR.
The right lever can take four different po-
sitions:
Owindscreen wiper off;
≤intermittent;
≥continuous slow;
¥continuous fast.
Move the lever to position A-fig. 50(un-
stable) to limit operation during the time
when the lever is held in this position. The
lever will return to position and the wiper
will be automatically stopped when re-
leased.
With the knurled ring in position
≤the
windscreen wiper will automatically adapt
to the speed of the vehicle.
With windscreen wiper on and reverse
gear engaged, the rear window wiper is
automatically activated.
fig. 50F0T0158m
Do not use the windscreen
wiper to remove layers of
snow or ice from the wind-
screen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wiper may be subjected to
excessive stress and the motor protec-
tion which prevents operation for a few
seconds may trip. If the issue persists,
contact the Fiat Dealership.
“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel
(unstable position) to operate the wind-
screen washer jet.
Keeping the stalk pulled for more than half
a second, with just one movement it is
possible to operate the washer jet and the
wiper at the same time.
The wiper stops working three strokes af-
ter releasing the stalk.
A further stroke after approx. 6 seconds
completes the wiping cycle.
REAR WINDOW WIPER/

The device can work only when the igni-
tion key is on MAR.

CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Here are some useful tips to save fuel and
minimize polluting emissions of CO
2and
other pollutants (nitric oxide, unburnt hy-
drocarbons, fine dusts etc…).GENERAL REMARKS
Vehicle maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out
in accordance with the “Scheduled Service
Plan”.
Tyres
Check tyre pressure regularly at least
once every four weeks: excessively low
pressure will increase consumption be-
cause rolling resistance will be higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot.
The weight of the vehicle (especially when
driving in town) and its trim greatly affect
fuel consumption and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from
the roof after use. These accessories de-
crease aerodynamic penetration of the ve-
hicle and have a negative effect on fuel
consumption. It is better to use a trailer
to transport particularly bulky objects.Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount
of time needed. The rear heated window,
additional headlights, windscreen wipers
and heater fan need a considerable
amount of energy, therefore increasing fu-
el consumption (up to +25% in the urban
cycle).
Climate control
The climate control system leads to high-
er fuel consumption (up to +20% on av-
erage): use air vents only when the ex-
ternal temperature allows it.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified spoilers may ad-
versely affect air drag and fuel consump-
tion levels.

SNOW CHAINS
Use of snow chains should be in compli-
ance with local regulations.
The snow chains may be applied only to
the front wheel tyres (drive wheels).
Check the tension of the chains after the
first few metres have been driven.
PROLONGED VEHICLE
INACTIVITY
If the vehicle needs to be stopped for longer
than one month, the following precautions
must be taken:
❒park the vehicle indoors in a dry and, pos-
sibly, well-ventilated place;
❒engage a gear and check that the hand-
brake is not engaged;
❒disconnect the negative terminal of the
battery and check charge (see paragraph
“Battery” in section “Maintenance and
care”);
❒clean and protect the painted parts using
protective wax;❒clean and protect the shiny metal parts
using special compounds readily available;
❒sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber
windscreen and rear window wiper
blades and lift them off the glass;
❒slightly open the windows;
❒cover the vehicle with a piece of fabric or
perforated plastic sheet; do not use com-
pact plastic tarpaulins, which prevent hu-
midity from evaporating from the surface
of the vehicle;
❒inflate tyres to a pressure of +0.5 bar
above the normal specified pressure and
check it at intervals;
❒do not drain the engine cooling system. Keep your speed down when
snow chains are fitted. Do not
exceed 50 km/h. Avoid pot-
holes, steps and pavements
and also avoid driving long distances on
roads not covered with snow in order
to prevent damaging the vehicle and
the roadbed.
