2015 FIAT BRAVO stop start

Never use the windscreen wipers to
remove layers of snow or ice from the
windscreen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wipers 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.
"Smart washing" functionfig. 38
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel (unstable
position) to operate the windscreen washer.
Keep the stalk pulled, with just one movement, to
operate the washer jet and the windscreen wiper;
the latter automatically turns on if you keep the stalk
pulled for more than half a second.
The windscreen wiper stops operating a few strokes
after releasing the stalk; a further “cleaning stroke”,
after a few seconds, completes the wiping operation.
RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The rain sensor A fig. 39 is located behind the
interior 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. The sensor has an adjustment range that varies
progressively from wiper still (no stroke) when the
windscreen is dry, to wiper at first continuous speed
(slow continuous operation) with intense rain.

Activation
Move the right stalk down by one click.
The activation of the sensor is signalled by a "stroke"
to show that the command has been acquired.
IMPORTANT Keep the glass in the sensor area clean.
By turning ring nut F fig. 37 is it possible to increase
the sensitivity of the rain sensor to obtain a more
rapid variation between wiper still (no stroke) when
the windscreen is dry, to wiper at first continuous
speed (slow continuous operation).
The increasing of the rain sensor sensitivity is also
signalled by a stroke of the wipers.
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
Turn the ignition key to STOP.
At the next start-up (key at MAR-ON), the sensor
will not be reactivated even if the stalk is at B fig. 37.
To activate the sensor, move the stalk to position
A or C and then back to position B.
Rain sensor activation will be indicated by at least
one wiper “stroke” even if the windscreen is dry.
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 is being
cleaned.
REAR WINDOW WASHER/WIPER
It can be operated only with the ignition key turned
to MAR-ON. The function stops when the stalk is
released.
Turning the stalk ring nut A fig. 40 from position
to position
will operate the rear window wiper
as follows:
❒ in intermittent mode when the rear window 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 gear engaged and
the control active.
With the windscreen wiper on and reverse gear
engaged the rear window wiper is activated in
continuous mode. Pushing the stalk towards the
dashboard (unstable position) will activate the rear
window washer jet.

INCREASING THE STORED SPEED
This can be done in two ways:
❒by pressing the accelerator and memorising the
new speed reached;
or
❒ by temporarily turning ring nut B fig. 42 to (+).
Each movement of the ring nut will correspond to a
slight increase in speed (about 1 km/h), while keeping
the ring nut turned will correspond to a continuous
speed increase.
REDUCING THE STORED SPEED
This can be done in two ways:
❒ by switching off the device and then memorising
the new speed;
or
❒ by keeping ring nut B fig. 42 turned to (–) until the
new speed is reached; it will then be memorised
automatically.
Each movement of the ring nut will correspond to a
slight reduction in speed (about 1 km/h), while
keeping the ring nut turned will correspond to a
continuous reduction in speed. TURNING THE DEVICE OFF
Turn the ring nut A fig. 42 to OFF or turn the
ignition key to STOP. The device is automatically
turned off in one of the following cases:
❒
when the brake or clutch pedal is pressed;
❒ if the ASR or ESP system cuts in (for versions/
markets, where provided);
❒ if the gear is shifted in versions with Dualogic
gearbox (for versions/markets, where provided) in
Manual mode;
❒ if the Dualogic gearbox lever (where provided) is
inadvertently shifted to N or R.
WARNING
Whilst driving with the device on, never
place the gear lever in neutral and do
not move the Dualogic gearbox lever into
position N or R.WARNING
If the device is faulty, turn ring nut A
fig. 42 to OFF, check the condition of the
protective fuse and contact a Fiat Dealership.

FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH
(as an alternative to the fuel cut-off system, for
versions/markets where provided)
It is located in the bottom, near the passenger side
pillar fig. 48. It is triggered in the event of an impact,
causing:
❒the fuel supply cut-off with the engine
consequently switching off;
❒ the automatic unlocking of the doors;
❒ the interior lights being switched on (for about 15
minutes).
The intervention of the switch is indicated by the
switching on of the
warning light on the
instrument panel or the
symbol on the display
(together with a message) (see “Warning lights and
messages” section). Carefully check the car for fuel leaks, for instance in
the engine compartment, under the car or near
the tank area.
If no fuel leaks are found and the car can be started
again, press button A to reactivate the fuel system
and the lights.
After a collision, turn the ignition key to STOP to
prevent the battery from running down.
WARNING
If, after a collision, you smell fuel or
notice leaks from the fuel supply system,
do not reset the switch to avoid fire risk.
