55)The daytime running lights are an
alternative to dipped beam headlights for
driving during the daytime. They are
compliant in countries where is it obligatory
to have lights on during the day and
permitted in those where it is not
obligatory. Daytime running lights cannot
replace dipped beam headlights when
driving at night or through tunnels. The use
of daytime running lights is governed by
the highway code of the country in which
you are driving. Comply with legal
requirements.

NOTE To protect the rubber parts of
the wipers, this operation of the wipers
does not take place even if the lever is
put in the “AUTO” position when the
vehicle is stationary and the ambient
temperature is about 0 °C or lower.
NOTE Do not cover the sensor by
affixing a sticker or label to the
windscreen. Also, do not put any
water-repellent coating on the
windscreen. The rain sensor would not
be able to detect the extent of rain, and
the wipers might stop working normally.
In the following cases, the rain sensor
may be malfunctioning. For further
information, we recommend you to
consult a Fiat Dealership:
When the wipers operate at a
constant interval despite changes in the
extent of rain.
When the wipers do not operate
even though it is raining.
The wipers may automatically operate
when things such as insects or foreign
objects are affixed to the windscreen on
top of the rain sensor or when the
windscreen is frozen. Objects affixed to
the windscreen will stop the wipers
when the wipers cannot remove them.
To operate the wipers again, move the
lever in the “LO” or “HI” position. Also,
the wipers may operate automatically
due to strong direct sunlight orelectromagnetic wave. To stop the
wipers, place the lever in the “OFF”
position.
Contact a Fiat Dealership when
replacing the windscreen or reinforcing
the glass around the sensor.
To adjust the sensitivity of the rain
sensor
With the lever in the “AUTO” (rain
sensor) position, it is possible to adjust
the sensitivity of the rain sensor by
turning the knob (B).
+— Higher sensitivity to rain
-— Lower sensitivity to rain
It is possible to activate the following
functions:
Automatic operation (rain droplet
sensitive) can be changed to
intermittent operation (vehicle-speed
sensitive).
Automatic operation (rain droplet
sensitive) can be changed to
intermittent operation (except
vehicle-speed sensitive). For further
information, we recommend you to
consult a Fiat Dealership.
Misting function
Move the lever in the direction of the
arrow and release, to operate the
wipers once. Use this function when
you are driving in mist or drizzle. The
wipers will operate once if the lever is
raised to the “MIST” position and
released when the ignition switch or the
operation mode is in ON or ACC. The
wipers will continue to operate while the
lever is held in the “MIST” position.

The wipers will operate once if the lever
is moved to the “AUTO” position and
the knob (C) is turned in the “+”
direction when the ignition switch is in
the “ON” position or the operation
mode is in ON.
Windscreen washer
The washer fluid will be sprayed onto
the windscreen by pulling the lever
towards you. The wipers operate
automatically several times while the
washer fluid is being sprayed. On
vehicles equipped with the headlamp
washer, while the headlamps are on,
the headlamp washer will operate once
together with the windscreen washer.Precautions to observe when using
wipers and washers
If the moving wipers become
blocked partway through a sweep by
ice or other deposits on the glass, the
wipers may temporarily stop operating
to prevent the motor from overheating.
In this case, park the vehicle in a safe
place, turn the ignition switch to the
“OFF” position or put the operation
mode in OFF, and then remove the ice
or other deposits. Because the wipers
will start operating again after the wiper
motor cools down, check that the
wipers operate before using them.
Do not use the wipers when the
glass is dry. They may scratch the glass
surface and the blades wear out
prematurely.
Before using the wipers in cold
weather, check that the wiper blades
are not frozen onto the glass. The
motor may burn out if the wipers are
used with the blades frozen onto the
glass.
Avoid using the washer continuously
for more than 20 seconds. Do not
operate the washer when the fluid
reservoir is empty. Otherwise, the motor
may burn out.
Periodically check the level of washer
fluid in the reservoir and refill if required.
During cold weather, add a
recommended washer solution that will
not freeze in the washer reservoir.
Failure to do so could result in loss of
washer function and frost damage to
the system components.
WARNING
58)If the washer is used in cold weather,
the washer fluid sprayed against the glass
may freeze, which may hinder visibility.
Warm the glass with the defroster or rear
window demister before using the washer.
