This only operates with the ignition turned to MAR.
The right stalk can assume five different positions:
windscreen wiper still.
intermittent operation.
continuous slow flick.
continuous fast flick.

will automatically adapt to the speed of the vehicle.
With the windscreen wipers working, if reverse gear
is engaged, the rear window wiper is automatically
activated.
Do not use the windscreen wipers to
remove layers of snow or ice from the
windscreen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wipers may be subjected to excessive
stress, prompting intervention from the motor
protection which prevents operation for a few
seconds. Contact the Fiat Dealership if operation
is not restored.
“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel (temporary
position) to operate the windscreen washer jet.
Keeping the stalk pulled for more than half a second,
with just one movement it is possible to operate

CRUISE CONTROL
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is an electronic driving aid that allows you to
drive at a speed of above 30 km/h on long and
straight dry roads with few driving changes (e.g.
motorways) at a preset speed without having to
press the accelerator pedal. Therefore it is not
recommended to use this device on extra-urban
roads with traffic. Do not use it in town.
Switching the device on
When the device is activated, light
comes on
together with the relevant message on the
instrument panel (for versions/markets, where
provided).
The function cannot be turned on in first gear or
reverse. It is advisable to use the function in fourth
gear or higher.
When travelling downhill with the device engaged,
the vehicle speed may exceed the stored setting.
Memorizing vehicle speed
Proceed as follows:
turn ring nut A fig. 53 to the ON position and
press the accelerator pedal so that the vehicle
reaches the desired speed;
move the stalk upwards (+) for at least one
second, then release it. The vehicle speed is now
stored and you can therefore release the
accelerator pedal.

HEADLIGHTS
LIGHT BEAM DIRECTION
The correct direction 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 direction checked and, if necessary,
adjusted.
HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT CORRECTOR
This device works with the ignition key in the MAR
position and the dipped headlights on.
The vehicle tilts backwards when it is laden, raising
the beam.
The beams must therefore be aimed again in this
case.Adjusting headlight alignment
Press theorbuttons on the control
panelfig. 100.
The instrument panel display shows the position in
relation to the adjustment set.
Position 0 - one or two people in the front seats.
Position1-fivepeople.
Position2-fivepeople + load in the boot.
Position 3 - driver + maximum permitted load
stowed in the boot.
IMPORTANT Check the alignment of the light beams
each time the weight of the load transported
changes.
FOG LIGHT DIRECTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the direction
checked and, if necessary, adjusted.
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN
ABROAD
The dipped headlights are directed for operation in
the country where the vehicle was originally
purchased. 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.

when the space-saver wheel is fitted. Before
carrying out the “Reset” procedure, inflate the
tyres to the rated pressure values specified in the
inflation pressure table (see "Wheels" paragraph in
the "Technical specifications" chapter).
If the “Reset” procedure is not carried out, in all
above cases, the
warning light may give false
indications on one or more tyres.
To carry out the “Reset” procedure, with the vehicle
stopped and the ignition device at MAR, use the
Setup Menu as follows:
briefly press thebutton: the display will show
"Reset";
press thebutton or thebutton to select

been started.
Operating conditions
The system is active for speeds above 15 km/h. In a
few situations such as sporty driving, particular
conditions of the road surface (e.g. icy, snowy,unsurfaced roads...) the signalling may be delayed or
partial in detecting the contemporary deflation of
more than one tyre. Under special conditions (e.g.
vehicle loaded asymmetrically on one side, towing
a trailer, damaged or worn tyre, fitting the
space-saver wheel, use of the "Fix&Go Automatic"
kit, fitting snow chains, fitting different tyres on
the axles) the system may give false indications or be
temporarily deactivated.
If the system is temporarily deactivated, the warning
light
flashes for about 75 seconds and then is
continuously on; at the same time, the display shows
a dedicated message. This indication is displayed
also after the engine has been switched off and then
on again if the correct operating conditions are
not restored.

The system is an aid for the driver, who
must always pay full attention while
driving.The responsibility always rests with the
driver, who must take into account the traffic
conditions in order to drive in complete safety.
The driver must always maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front .

Projecting loads on the roof of the car
may interfere with the correct operation
of the sensor. Before starting make sure
the load is correctly positioned, in order not to
cover the sensor operating range.
If the windscreen must be replaced due to
scratches, chipping or breakage, contact
exclusively a Fiat Dealership. Do not
replace the windscreen on your own, risk of
malfunction! It is advisable to replace the
windscreen if it is damaged in the laser sensor
area.
Do not tamper nor operate on the laser
sensor. Do not close the openings in the
aesthetic cover located under the interior
rear view mirror. In the event of a sensor failure,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
If you are driving on roads close to trees
with protruding branches it is advisable to
deactivate the system to prevent the
branches at the height of the bonnet or the
windscreen from interfering with the system.
Do not cover the operating range of the
sensor with stickers or other objects.
Also pay attention to other objects on the
bonnet (e.g. a layer of snow) and make sure they
do not interfere with the light emitted by the
laser.
If a trailer or a vehicle is towed the system
must be deactivated with the display
Setup Menu.
If the system signals a loss of pressure on
a specific tyre, it is recommended to
check the pressure on all four tyres.
