With ring nut A in position, the
windscreen wiper will automatically
adapt its operating speed to the speed
of the vehicle.
With the windscreen wipers
operational, if reverse gear is engaged,
the rear window wiper is automatically
activated.
"Smart washing" function
Pull the lever towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) to activate the
windscreen washer.
Keeping the stalk pulled for more than
half a second, with just one movement
it is possible to operate the washer
jet and the wiper at the same time.
The wiper stops working three strokes
after the stalk is released.
On some versions, a further stroke after
approximately 6 seconds completes
the cycle.
RAIN SENSOR(for versions/markets, where provided)
22)8) 9)This is located behind the interior rear
view mirror, in contact with the
windscreen and can detect the
presence of rain and, consequently,
manage the cleaning of the windscreen
in accordance with the amount of
water on the screen.Activation: rotate the ring nut A fig. 26
to position
: the windscreen wiper
stroke frequency is thus adjusted in
accordance with the amount of water
on the windscreen. The activation of the
sensor is signalled by a "stroke" to
show that the command has been
acquired.
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
position) even in the case of rain.
REAR WINDOW
WIPER/WASHER
10)This operates only with the ignition key
turned to MAR.
Activation: turn the ring nut B fig. 26
from position
to positionto
activate 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: release the lever.
WARNING
22)Make sure the device is switched off
whenever the windscreen must be
cleaned.
WARNING
6)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
(even after turning the key and restarting
the vehicle engine), contact a Fiat
Dealership.
7)Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with blades lifted from the windscreen.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

IMPORTANT Two side gas shock
absorbers are provided to assist in
opening the bonnet. Do not tamper
with these shock absorbers and
accompany the bonnet when raising.
IMPORTANT Before raising the bonnet,
make sure that the arms of the wipers
are not raised from the windscreen and
that the wiper is not operational.
CLOSING
32)
Lower the bonnet to approximately 20
centimetres from the engine
compartment then let it drop. Make
sure that the bonnet is completely
closed and not only fastened by the
locking device by trying to open it.
If it is not perfectly closed, do not try to
press the bonnet lid down but open it
and repeat the procedure.
WARNING
32)For safety reasons, the bonnet must
always be properly closed while driving.
Therefore, make sure that the bonnet
is properly closed and that the lock
is engaged. If you discover during travel
that the lock is not fully engaged, stop
immediately and close the bonnet in the
correct manner.
DUALDRIVE
ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING
This only operates with the key turned
to MAR and the engine started. The
electric steering allows the force
required at the steering wheel to be
adjusted to suit driving conditions.
IMPORTANT When turning the ignition
key quickly, full power steering
functionality can be achieved after a
few seconds.
IMPORTANT During parking
manoeuvres requiring a lot of steering,
the steering may become harder; this is
normal and is due to the intervention
of the system to protect the electric
steering motor from overheating. No
repair intervention is needed in this
case. When the vehicle is used again,
the power steering will work normally
again.
