to operate the rear window
wiper as follows:
intermittent operation if the windscreen wiper is
off;
in synchronous mode (at half the speed of the
windscreen wiper) when the windscreen wiper

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 dashboard (temporary

subjected to excessive stress and the motor
protection, which prevents operation for a few
seconds, may intervene. Contact the Fiat
Dealership if operation is not restored.
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.
