eration.
These lights will turn on automatically at
next starting if they were on when the en-
gine was previously switched off.IMPORTANT Rear fog lights may be both-
ersome for the vehicle behind, they shall

with key at Sor removed. When opening
the doors a buzzer will sound to warn the
driver that lights are on.

This function allows the illumination of the
space in front of the vehicle for a preset
period of time (45 seconds). To activate
it the ignition key shall be at Sor removed
and the left stalk shall be pushed towards
the dashboard within 2 minutes from
when the engine is turned off.

vice for turning on side lights and dipped
beams, the follow me home function will
activate automatically when opening the

SENSOR (daylight sensor)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It detects the changes of the external light
intensity of the vehicle according to the
light sensitivity set: the greater the sensi-
tivity is, the smaller the amount of exter-
nal light necessary to control the switch-
ing-on of the external headlights will be.
Activation fig. 58
Turn the knurled ring to AUTO: in this
way, the automatic activation of the
side/taillights and dipped beam headlights
is simultaneously enabled according to the
external luminosity.

Deactivation fig. 58
Turn the knurled ring back to å; deacti-
vation is indicated by the dedicated mes-
sage on the display.
The sensor is not able to detect the fog
presence, lights shall therefore be

WINDOW WASHING
The right stalk fig. 59controls windscreen
wiper/washer and heated rear window
wiper/washer operation (for versions/
markets, where provided).
WINDSCREEN WASHER/
WIPER
This device can only work when the igni-
tion key is at M.
The stalk ring nut can be moved to four
different positions:
0windscreen wiper off;
Iflick wipe;
1continuous slow;
2continuous fast.
STemporary operation (one wipe):
when the stalk is released it returns
to position 0 automatically stopping
the wiper.
Pulling the stalk slightly towards the steer-
ing wheel (unstable position), regardless
of the position of the knurled ring, oper-
ates the windscreen washer and if the
dipped or high beams are on, also the
headlight washer (for versions/markets,
where provided).
Windscreen wiper will then perform three
wiping strokes.Never use the window wiper
to remove ice or snow from
the windscreen. In these con-
ditions, the wiper is submitted
to excessive effort that results in motor
protection cutting in and wiper opera-
tion inhibition for few seconds as a con-
sequence. If operation is not restored
(also after restarting the vehicle by the
ignition key) contact Fiat Dealership.
To facilitate windscreen washing or blade
replacement, with ignition key at Sor re-
moved, move the stalk down within 60
seconds (impulse); wipers will stop in ver-
tical position so they can be raised to re-
place blades or for cleaning.
IMPORTANT To prevent damaging the
body, before raising the wipers set them in
vertical position as described previously.

Operating the windscreen washer with
the rain sensor activated the normal wash-
ing cycle is performed at the end of which
the rain sensor resumes its normal auto-
matic function.
So as to deactivate the rain sensor, put the
windscreen wiper command in the I, 1or
2positions. The deactivation is accompa-
nied by a message on the display.
To activate the rain sensor you have to
move the stalk to another position and
then back to AUTO.The rain sensor is able to recognize and
automatically adjust itself in the presence
of the following particular conditions:
❒impurities on the controlled surface
(salt, dirt, etc...);
❒streaks of water produced by worn
wiper blades;
❒difference between day and night (hu-
man eye is more bothered by wet glass
at night).Pulling the stalk towards the steering
wheel (unstable position), regardless of
the position of the knurled ring, operates
the windscreen washer and if the dipped
or high beams are on, also the headlight
washer (for versions/markets, where pro-
vided).
Windscreen wiper will then perform three
wiping strokes.
Do not activate the rain sen-
sor when washing the vehi-
cle at automatic car-wash stations.
WARNING
When cleaning or washing
the windscreen make sure the
rain sensor is off.
WARNING
Do not activate the rain sen-
sor if the windscreen is icy.

ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHT
BEAM
Proper adjustment of the headlight beams
is of vital importance for your safety and
comfort and also for the other road users.
To ensure you and other drivers have the
best visibility conditions when travelling
with the headlights on, the headlights must
be set properly. Contact Fiat Dealership
to have the headlights properly adjusted.HEADLIGHT AIMING DEVICE
It works with ignition key at Mand dipped
beams on. When the vehicle is loaded, it
slopes backwards. This means that the
headlight beam rises. In this case, it is nec-
essary to return it to the correct position.To adjust the headlight slant
fig. 112
Set the device fig. 112position according
to the load carried as specified in the table
below.
Position 0- one or two passengers on
front seats;
Position 1- five passengers;
Position 2- five passengers + load in the
load compartment;
Position 3- eight passengers + load in the
load compartment or driver

ADJUSTING THE
HEADLIGHT BEAM
Proper adjustment of the headlight beams
is of vital importance for your safety and
comfort and also for the other road users.
In addition it is the subject of a precise reg-
ulation of the traffic code.
To ensure you and other drivers have the
best visibility conditions when travelling
with the headlights on, the headlights must
be set properly.
Contact Fiat Dealership to have the head-
lights properly adjusted.ABS SYSTEM
If you have never driven a vehicle with ABS
before, you should practice using the sys-
tem on slippery terrain, obviously with the
necessary safety precautions and keeping
to the Highway Code of the country you
are in. It is also a good idea to read the fol-
lowing information carefully.
The ABS system, integral with the braking
system, prevents the wheels from locking
when braking, makes the most of road grip
and gives the best control when emergency
braking under difficult road conditions.
System is completed by EBD (Electronic
Braking force Distribution), which dis-
tributes the braking action between front
and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To have the maximum ef-
ficiency of the braking system, it is neces-
sary a setting period of about 500 km
(with new vehicle or after replacing brake
pads/discs): during this period it is better
to avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged
brakes.The ABS exploits the tyre-
road grip at the best, but it
cannot improve it; you should there-
fore take every care when driving on
slippery surfaces without taking un-
necessary risks.
WARNING
ABS SYSTEM INTERVENTION
The driver can tell the ABS system has
come into action because the brake pedal
pulsates slightly and the system gets noisi-
er: it means that the vehicle speed should
be altered to fit the type of road surface.
If the ABS system cuts in, it
is a sign that the grip be-
tween tyre and the road surface has
reached the limit: you must slow
down to match the speed to the road
grip available.
