2014 FIAT 500L LIVING Warning lights

Deactivation
Move the stalk ring nut away from the position
or turn the ignition key to STOP.
If the ignition key is turned to the STOP position
leaving the ring nut A in position
, no wiping
cycle is performed at the next startup (ignition key
to the MAR-ON position) even in case of rain.
This prevents unwanted activation of the rain sensor
when the engine is started (i.e. when the windscreen
is being washed by hand or the wipers are stuck to
the windscreen by ice).
To restore automatic operation of the rain sensor,
turn ring nut A from
position to
position and
then turn the ring nut back to theposition.
When the rain sensor is reactivated using any of the
manoeuvres described above, reactivation is
indicated by a single stroke of the windscreen wipers,
regardless of the condition of the windscreen.
In the event of malfunction of the rain sensor whilst
it is active, the windscreen wiper operates
intermittently at a speed consistent with the
sensitivity setting of the rain sensor, regardless of
whether there is rain on the glass (on some versions
sensor failure is indicated on the display).
The sensor continues to operate and it is possible to
set the windscreen wiper to continuous mode (1
st
or 2
nd
speed). The failure indication remains for
as long as the sensor is active.The rain sensor is able to recognise, and
automatically adjust itself in the presence of the
following conditions:
❒presence of dirt on the controlled surface (salt,
dirt, etc.);
❒presence of streaks of water caused by the worn
window wiper blades;
❒difference between day and night.
Do not activate the rain sensor when
washing the car in an automatic car wash.Make sure the device is switched off if
there is ice on the windscreen.
WARNING
Make sure the device is switched off
whenever the windscreen must be
cleaned.

REAR WINDOW WASHER/ WIPER
It can be operated only with the ignition key turned
to MAR.
Activation
Turn the ring nut B fig. 46 from
to
to operate
the rear window wiper as follows:
❒in intermittent mode when the windscreen wiper
is not operating;
❒in synchronous mode (at half the speed of the
windscreen wiper) when the windscreen wiper
is operating;
❒in continuous mode with reverse engaged.
With the windscreen wiper on and reverse gear
engaged, rear window wiping will be continuous in
the same way.
Pushing the stalk towards the dashboard (unstable
position) the rear window washer jet will activate.
Keep the stalk pushed for more than half a second to
activate the rear window wiper as well. Releasing
the stalk will activate the smart washing function, as
described for the windscreen wiper.
Deactivation
The function stops when the stalk is released.
Do not use the rear window wiper to
removelayersofsnoworice.In
such conditions, the wiper may be
subjected to excessive stress and the motor
protection, which prevents operation for a few
seconds, may intervene. If operation is not
restored, contact a Fiat Dealership.

CRUISE CONTROL(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is an electronically controlled driving assistance
device that allows the desired car speed to be
maintained, without having to press the accelerator
pedal.
This device can be used at a speed above 30 km/h on
long stretches of dry, straight roads with few
variations (e.g. motorways).
The use of this device on extra-urban roads with
traffic is not therefore recommended. Do not use
the device in town.
ACTIVATING THE DEVICE
Turn ring nut A fig. 48 to
. Activation is indicated
by the
warning light on the instrument panel
switching on and, on some versions, by a message on
the display.The speed adjustment function cannot be activated
in 1
stor reverse gear; it is advisable to activate
the function in 4
th
or higher gears.
When travelling downhill with the device active, the
car speed may slightly exceed the stored one.
Storing car speed
Proceed as follows:
❒turn ring nut A fig. 48 to
and press the
accelerator pedal so that the car reaches the
desired speed;
❒move the stalk upwards (+) for at least one
second, then release it: the speed is memorised
and you can therefore release the accelerator
pedal.
If needed (when overtaking for instance), you can
accelerate simply by depressing the accelerator pedal:
when you release the pedal, the car goes back to
the speed stored previously.
Restoring the stored speed
If the device has been deactivated, for example by
depressing the brake or clutch pedal, the set speed
can be restored as follows:
❒accelerate progressively until a speed close to that
stored is reached;
❒engage the gear selected at the time that the
speed was stored;
❒press the CANC RES button (B fig. 48).

INCREASING THE STORED SPEED
This can be carried out in two ways:
❒by pressing the accelerator and storing the new
speed reached
or
❒by moving the stalk upwards (+) until the new
speed, which will be stored automatically, is
reached.
Each movement of the stalk corresponds to an
increase in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the
stalk held upwards will continuously increase the
speed.
REDUCING THE STORED SPEED
This can be carried out in two ways:
❒by deactivating the device and then storing the
new speed
or
❒by moving the lever downwards (–) until the new
speed, which will automatically remain stored, is
reached.
Each movement of the lever corresponds to a
reduction in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping
the stalk held downwards will decrease the speed
continuously.DEACTIVATING THE DEVICE
The device can be deactivated by the driver in the
following ways:
❒turning ring nut A toO;
❒by stopping the engine
❒by pressing the brake pedal, the clutch or the
accelerator; in this last case the system is not
completely deactivated but gives priority to the
acceleration request. The device still remains
active, without the need to press the CANC RES
button to return to the previous condition once
acceleration is concluded.

Automatic deactivation
The device deactivates automatically in the following
cases:
❒intervention of the ABS or ESC systems;
❒with the car speed below the set limit
❒in the event of system failure.
WARNING
When travelling with the device active,
never move the gear lever to neutral.
WARNING
In the event of device faults or failures,
turn knob A toOand contact a Fiat
Dealership.
SPEED LIMITER
This device allows the speed of the car to be limited
to values which can be set by the driver.
The maximum speed can be set both with car
stationary and in motion. The minimum speed that
can be set is 30 km/h.
When the device is active, the car speed depends on
the pressure at the accelerator pedal, until the
programmed speed limit is reached (see "Speed limit
programming" paragraph).If necessary (in the event of overtaking for example),
the programmed speed limit can be exceeded by
fully depressing the accelerator pedal.
By gradually reducing the pressure on the accelerator
pedal, the function will be reactivated as soon as
the car speed drops below the programmed speed.
Activating the device
To activate the device, turn ring nut A fig. 48 to
.
Activation of the device is indicated by the
warning light on the instrument panel switching
on and, on some versions, by a message on the
display plus last programmed speed value.
Speed limit programming
The speed limit can be programmed without
necessarily activating the device.
To store a speed value higher than that displayed,
move stalk A upwards (+). Each movement of the
stalk corresponds to an increase in speed of about 1
km/h, while keeping the stalk held upwards will
increase the speed with an increment of 5 km/h.
To store a value lower than that displayed, move
stalk A downwards (–). Each movement of the stalk
corresponds to a decrease in speed of about 1
km/h, while keeping the stalk held downwards a
decrease of 5 km/h is obtained.
