The rain sensor (fitted on certain versions
only), is an electronic device coupled to
the windscreen wiper with the purpose of
adjusting automatically, during the inter-
mittent operation, the frequency of the
windscreen wiper strokes as to the rain
intensity.
The rain sensor will activate automatical-
ly when moving the stalk to AUTO; its
range varies gradually from windscreen
wiper off (no wipe) when the windscreen
is dry, to wiper at first continuous speed
with heavy rain.
The activation of the rain sensor is sig-
nalled by a control acquisition “stroke”. RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The rain sensor is located behind the dri-
ving mirror in contact with the windscreen
and has the purpose of adjusting auto-
matically, during the intermittent opera-
tion, the frequency of the windscreen
wiper strokes as to the rain intensity.
IMPORTANT Keep clean the glass in the
sensor area.
If the rain sensor is fitted fig. 60:
0Windscreen wiper off.
IFlick wipe.
1Continuous slow.
2Continuous fast.
AUTORain sensor activation (auto-
matic operation). When the stalk is re-
leased, it returns to position 0.

CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short journeys and frequent cold starts do
not allow the engine to reach optimum op-
erating temperature. This results in a sig-
nificant increase in consumption levels
(from +15 to +30% on the urban cycle)
and emission of harmful substances.
Traffic and road conditions
Rather high consumption levels are tied to
situations with heavy traffic, for example
in queues with frequent use of the lower
gears or in cities with many traffic lights.
Also winding mountain roads and rough
road surfaces adversely affect consump-
tion.
Enforced halts
During prolonged hold-ups (level crossings)
the engine should be switched off. Top speed
Fuel consumption increases considerably
as speed increases. Your speed should be
kept as even as possible and superfluous
braking and acceleration avoided as this
increases both consumption and emis-
sions.
Acceleration
Accelerating violently increasing the revs
will greatly affect consumption and emis-
sions: acceleration should be gradual and
should not exceed the maximum torque.TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANTS
For towing caravans or trailers the vehi-
cle must be fitted with a certified tow
hook and an adequate electric system.
To prevent damages to the vehicle elec-
tric system, adopt an electronic control
unit specially designed and dedicated to
the trailer.
Installation should be carried out by spe-
cialised personnel who release a special
document for circulation on the road.
Install any specific and/or additional rear-
view mirrors as specified by law.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, the brak-
ing spaces increase and overtaking takes
longer depending on the overall weight.

EBD SYSTEM
FAILURE (red)
(amber)
The turning on at the same time of
warning lights
xand >with the
engine running indicates an EBD system
failure or that the system is unavailable;
in this case heavy braking may cause the
rear wheels to lock before time, with
the possibility of skidding. Drive with the
utmost care to the nearest Fiat
Dealership to have the system checked.
x>
SEAT BELTS NOT
FASTENED (red)
The warning light on the dial
turns on glowing steadily with vehicle sta-
tionary and driver’s seat belt not fastened
correctly. The warning light will turn on
flashing together with the buzzer when,
with vehicle moving, the front seat belts
are not fastened correctly. Certain ver-
sions are fitted with a display above the
driving mirror that indicates by two
warning lights that driver’s or passenger’s
seat belt are not fastened.
<
INJECTION SYSTEM
FAILURE
(amber)
Under normal conditions, turn-
ing the ignition key to M, the warning
light turns on but it should go off after
engine starting.
If the warning light stays on or turns on
when travelling, means a fault in the igni-
tion system which could cause possible
lack of performance, poor handling and
high consumption levels.
In these conditions it is possible to con-
tinue driving without however requiring
heavy effort or high speed from the
engine. In any case, contact Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
