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.

LIGHT BEAM ALIGNMENT
The correct alignment of the headlights
is essential for the comfort and safety
of the driver and other road users.
To ensure the best visibility when
travelling with the headlights on, the
headlight alignment must be correct.
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have
the headlights checked and adjusted.
HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT
CORRECTOR
This device works with the ignition key
in the MAR-ON position and the dipped
beam headlights on.
The vehicle tilts backwards when it is
laden, raising the beam.
The beams must therefore be realigned
in this case.
Headlight alignment
adjustment
Press
oron the control panel fig.
124.
The instrument panel display shows the
position in relation to the adjustment
set.IMPORTANT Check the alignment of
the light beams each time the weight of
the load transported changes.
FOG LIGHTS ALIGNMENT
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the
headlights checked and adjusted.ADJUSTING THE
HEADLIGHTS WHEN
ABROAD
The dipped beam headlights are
aligned for operation in the country
where the vehicle was originally
purchased. When in countries where
you drive on the other side of the road,
you need to alter the beam direction
by affixing a specially designed
self-adhesive film in order not to dazzle
the vehicles travelling in the opposite
direction. Such film is provided by
Lineaccessori Fiat and is available at
Fiat Dealerships.
