RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
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.

DRIVING ADVISOR
(lane crossing warning)
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
82) 79) 80)
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. 128 on the
dashboard (see following
description).
The LED on the button switches on
to confirm that the system has
been activated and a dedicated
message appears on the display.
When the system is activated,
the LED on the dedicated button is
off. If the user deactivates the
system, the LED on the button
switches on constantly and a
dedicated message appears on the
display to confirm that the system
has been switched off.The system is enabled at every key
cycle of the vehicle and starts
recognition of the operating
conditions (condition signalled to
the driver when the 2 direction
warning lights
andon the
instrument panel light up).
When the system recognises the
operating conditions, it becomes
active, i.e. it can assist the driver
with visual and acoustic warnings.
Therefore the two direction warning
lights
andon the instrument
panel switch off to prevent
excessively frequent warnings while
driving in towns or on winding
roads at low speeds.
IMPORTANT If the operating
conditions are no longer present,
the system remains activated
but inactive. Therefore the driver is
warned by the 2 direction warning
lights
andon the instrument
panel switching on constantly.

Refer to the "Display" paragraph in
the "Knowing the instrument panel"
chapter.
Note: the system condition and
settings do not change throughout
the different on-off cycles.
The system condition can always
be shown on the display.
The system displaying includes the
following two steps:
❒All new traffic signs that can be
recognised are displayed as pop-ups
for 40 seconds over the other
signallings.❒After the preset time, they are
displayed in the dedicated screen on
the panel.
The system can display two traffic
signs (speed limit and no
overtaking) at the same time in the
two dedicated areas of the panel.
If an additional traffic sign is
detected, e.g. a reduced speed
limit for wet road conditions, this is
displayed as an empty box under
the relevant sign.
The additional signs are filtered as
follows:
❒The additional sign for "snow" or
"rain" will not be displayed if the
outside temperature is over 3°C.
❒The additional sign for "snow" or
"rain" or "cloudy" will not be
displayed if the windscreen wipers
are off and the outside temperature is
below 3°C.
❒The additional sign for "truck" will not
be displayed if the vehicle weighs
less than 4-4.5 t.
❒The speed limit sign will not be
displayed if coupled with the
additional "tractor" sign.

TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT
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.
135) 136)
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.
