wheel (unstable position) to operate 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.

turned to MAR.
Activation
Turn the ring nut to
to operate the
rear window wiper:
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
gear engaged and the control active.
With the windscreen wiper on and
reverse gear engaged, rear window
wiping will be continuous.
Pushing the stalk towards the

headlights are on and the windscreen
washer is activated.
IMPORTANT Check jet function and
cleanliness at regular intervals.
6)
WARNING
3)Do not use the windscreen 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 engine), contact a Fiat
Dealership.
4)Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with the blades lifted from the windscreen.
5)Do not use the rear window wiper to
remove layers of snow or ice. In such
conditions, the wiper 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.
6)The headlamp washer jet does not
function when the level of fluid in the
reservoir falls below 1.6 litres.

SPEEDOMETER
This shows the speed at which the
vehicle is travelling.
REV COUNTER
The rev counter shows the engine rpm.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection
control system gradually shuts off
the flow of fuel when the engine
is “over-revving” resulting in a gradual
loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev
counter may indicate a gradual or
sudden increase of the speed.
This behaviour is standard as it takes
place during the activation of the
climate control system or the fan. It
should not be considered as a fault. In
such cases, a slight increase in engine
idle speed helps to sustain the battery
charge.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
This shows the amount of fuel left in the
fuel tank.
E tank empty.
F tank full (see the instructions provided
in the “Vehicle refuelling” paragraph).
The warning light on the gauge comes
on to indicate that approximately 8-10
litres of fuel are left in the tank.
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost
empty: any gaps in fuel supply could
damage the catalytic converter.IMPORTANT The needle will point to E
and warning light A will flash to indicate
a fault in the system. Contact a Fiat
Dealership to have the system
checked.
ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE
INDICATOR
This shows the temperature of the
engine coolant fluid and starts working
when the fluid temperature exceeds
approx. 50°C.
In normal usage, the needle should
hover around the middle of the scale.
C Low engine coolant temperature.
H High engine coolant temperature.
The warning light on the gauge may
light up (and a message on the
multifunction display may appear on
certain versions) to indicate that the
coolant fluid temperature is too high; in
this case, stop the engine and contact
a Fiat Dealership.
10)
WARNING
10)If the needle for the engine coolant
temperature reaches the red area, stop the
engine immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
