The rain sensor is located behind the
rear view mirror in contact with the
windscreen and has the purpose of
automatically adjusting the frequency of
the windscreen wiper strokes
depending on the intensity of the rain
during intermittent operation.
IMPORTANT Keep the glass in the
sensor area clean.
Activation fig. 64
Move the right lever down by one click
(position B).
The activation of the sensor is signalled
by a "stroke" to show that the
command has been acquired.
Turn the control F to increase the rain
sensor sensitivity.
The increasing of the rain sensor
sensitivity is signalled by a "stroke" to
show that the command has been
acquired.
If the windscreen washer is used with
the rain sensor activated, the normal
washing cycle is performed, after which
the rain sensor resumes its normal
automatic operation.Deactivation fig. 64
Move the lever from position B or turn
the ignition key to OFF. The next time
the vehicle is started (ignition key in ON
position), the sensor is not reactivated
even if the lever is still in position B.
To activate the sensor, move the lever
to position A or C and then back to
position B or turn the ring nut for
adjusting the sensitivity. Rain sensor
activation will be indicated by at least
one wiper “stroke” even if the
windscreen is dry.
The rain sensor is capable of
recognising the difference between day
and night and making the necessary
adjustments automatically.
26)
HEADLIGHT WASHERS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The headlight washers are “retractable”,
i.e.: they are located inside the front
bumper and they are activated when
(with dipped beams on) the windscreen
washer is operated.
IMPORTANT Check the correct
condition and cleanliness of nozzles at
regular intervals.
IMPORTANT
3) Do not use the screen wiper to
remove layers of snow or ice
from the windscreen. In such
conditions, the windscreen wiper
may be subjected to excessive
stress and the motor cut-out
switch, which prevents operation
for a few seconds, may intervene.
If operation is not restored,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
26) Streaks of water may cause
unnecessary blade movements.
49
IMPORTANT Do not use the ashtray
also as a waste paper basket: fire
hazard.
SUN VISORS
They are located at the sides of the
interior rear view mirror fig. 96.
They can be adjusted forwards and
sideways.A vanity mirror is fitted on the
passenger side sun visor on all
versions.
IMPORTANT On both sides of the
passenger side sun visor there is a label
advising that it is compulsory to
deactivate the airbag if a rear facing
child restraint system is fitted. Always
comply with the instructions on the sun
visor (see the "Front airbag" paragraph
in chapter "Safety").
POWER SOCKET
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The power socket is located in the
centre console near the cigar lighter.
To use it, open cover A fig. 97.DESK/BOOK REST
(for versions/markets, where provided)
There is a desk A fig. 98 in the centre of
the dashboard above the radio
compartment; on some versions this
desk can be used as a book rest by
raising the back section and resting it
on the dashboard as illustrated in
the figure.
On versions with double passenger
side airbag, the desk is fixed.
32)
TABLET HOLDER
(for versions/markets, where provided)

68) Tyre pressure must be checked
with tyres cold. Should it become
necessary for whatever reason
to check pressure with warm
tyres, do not reduce pressure
even if it is higher than the
prescribed value, but repeat the
check when tyres are cold.
69) The TPMS cannot indicate
sudden tyre pressure drops (for
example when a tyre bursts).
In this case, stop the car, braking
with caution and avoiding abrupt
steering.
70) The system only warns that the
tyre pressure is low: it is not able
to inflate them.
71) An insufficient tyre inflation
increases fuel consumption,
reduces the tread duration and
may affect the capacity of driving
safely.
72) Always refit the valve stem cap
after inspecting or adjusting tyre
pressure. This prevents dampness
or dirt from entering the valve
stem and thus the pressure
control sensor from being
damaged.73) The tyre repair kit (Fix&Go)
provided with the car (for
versions/markets, where
provided) is compatible with the
TPMS sensors; using sealants not
equivalent with that in the original
kit may adversely affect its
operation. If sealants not
equivalent with the original one
are used, it is recommended to
have the TPMS sensor operation
checked by a qualified repair
centre.
DRIVING ADVISOR(lane crossing warning)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
78) 75) 76)
The Driving Advisor is a warning system
that notifies the driver if he/she crosses
the lane because he/she has been
distracted.
A video sensor, fitted on the windscreen
near the interior rear view mirror,
detects the lane demarcation lines and
the position of the car in relation to
them.
IMPORTANT On cars with Driving
Advisor, it is advisable to contact a Fiat
Dealership should the windscreen
need to be replaced. If the repair is
carried out at a specialist window
replacement centre, it is still necessary
to go to a Fiat Dealership to have the
camera calibrated.
OPERATION
The system is always active when the
vehicle is started. It can be deactivated
or re-activated by pressing button A
fig. 127 on the dashboard (see
following description).
83
IMPORTANT When parking, take the
utmost care over obstacles that may be
above or under the camera range.
WARNING
77) The responsibility for parking
and other manoeuvres is always
and in any case charged to the
driver. While carrying out these
manoeuvres, always make sure
that no people (especially
children) or animals are in the
area concerned. The camera is an
aid for the driver, but the driver
must never allow his/her attention
to lapse during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even
those executed at low speeds.
Always keep a slow speed, so as
to promptly brake in the case
of obstacles.
IMPORTANT
8) It is vital, for correct operation,
that the camera is always kept
clean and free from mud, dirt,
snow or ice. Be careful not to
scratch or damage the camera
while cleaning it. Avoid using dry,
rough or hard cloths. The camera
must be washed using clean
water, with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary. In washing
stations which use steam or
high-pressure jets, clean the
camera quickly, keeping the
nozzle more than 10 cm away
from the sensors. Do not apply
stickers to the camera.
TRAFFIC SIGN
RECOGNITION(for versions/markets, where provided)
74) 79) 80) 81)9) 10) 11) 12) 13) 14) 15)
The system automatically detects the
recognisable traffic signs: speed limits,
no overtaking signs and signs indicating
the end of such prohibitions.
The camera is fitted behind the internal
rear view mirror. The sensor always
checks the traffic signs indicating the
current speed limit and possible no
overtaking signs.
IMPORTANT The system is designed to
read signs complying with the
specifications of the Vienna convention.
USE OF THE TRAFFIC
SIGN RECOGNITION
System switching on
and off
The system can be activated/
deactivated using the display menu.

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
TOWING TRAILERSIMPORTANT
INFORMATION
The vehicle must be provided with a
type-approved tow hook and adequate
electrical system to tow caravans or
trailers. Installation should be carried
out by specialised personnel who
will issue the required papers for
travelling on roads.
Install any specific and/or additional
door mirrors as specified by the
Highway Code.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, the
braking spaces increase and overtaking
takes longer depending on the overall
weight.
Engage a low gear when driving
downhill, rather than constantly using
the brake.
The weight of the trailer on the vehicle
tow hook will reduce the loading
capacity of the vehicle by the same
amount. Consider the weight of the
trailer fully laden, including accessories
and luggage, to make sure you do
not exceed the maximum towable
weight (shown on the vehicle
registration document).Do not exceed the speed limits specific
to each country you are driving in, in
the case of vehicles towing trailers.
In any case, the top speed must not
exceed 100 km/h.
You are advised to fit a suitable
stabiliser to the trailer drawbar.
In the vehicles equipped with parking
sensors, after fitting the tow hook
malfunctioning warnings may be
displayed, as some parts (tow bar, ball
tow hook) may be within the sensor
detection range. In this case the
detection range must be adjusted or
the parking assistance function must be
deactivated.
131) 132)
INSTALLING THE TOW
HOOK
The towing device should be fastened
to the body by specialised personnel
according to any additional and/or
integrative information supplied by the
Manufacturer of the device.
The towing device must meet current
regulations with reference to Directive
94/20/EC and subsequent
amendments.
For any version the towing device used
must match the towable weight of the
vehicle on which it is to be installed.
For the electric connection a standard
connector should be used which is
generally placed on a special bracket
normally fastened to the towing device,
and a special ECU for external trailer
light control must be installed on the
vehicle. For the electrical connection, 7
or 13 pin 12 V DC connections are to
be used (CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN
Standards). Follow the instructions
provided by the vehicle manufacturer
and/or the tow hitch manufacturer.
An electric brake (or electric winch)
should be supplied directly by the
battery through a cable with a cross
section of no less than 2.5 mm
2.
