headlamps’ glare does not distract the
drivers of approaching vehicles. Set the
switch (referring to the following table)
to the appropriate position according to
the number of people and the load in
the vehicle.
NOTE When adjusting the beam
position, first put the dial in the “0”
position (the highest beam position).

Rain sensor
Can only be used when the ignition
switch or the operation mode is in ON.
If the lever is put in the “AUTO”
position, the rain sensor (A) will detect
the extent of rain (or snow, other
moisture, dust, etc.) and the wipers will
operate automatically. Keep the lever in
the “OFF” position if the windscreen is
dirty and the weather is dry. Wiper
operation under these conditions can
scratch the windscreen and damage
the wipers.
21)
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.
NOTE 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 or electromagnetic wave. To
stop the wipers, place the lever in the
“OFF” position.
NOTE 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

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
63)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.
64)Streaks of water may cause
unnecessary blade movements.
65)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.66)With the ignition switch or the
operation mode in ON and the lever in the
“AUTO” position, the wipers may
automatically operate in the situations
described below. If your hands get
trapped, you could suffer injuries or the
wipers could malfunction. Be sure to turn
the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position
or put the operation mode in OFF, or move
lever to the “OFF” position to deactivate
the rain sensor: when cleaning the outside
surface of the windscreen, if you touch or
wipe with a cloth on top of the rain sensor;
when using an automatic car wash; when a
physical shock is applied to the windscreen
or to the rain sensor.
IMPORTANT
21)Do not activate the rain sensor when
washing the car in an automatic car wash.

NOTE When the temperature is set to
the highest or the lowest, the air
selection and the air conditioner will be
automatically changed as follows. Also,
if the air selection is operated manually
after an automatic changeover, manual
operation will be selected.
Quick Heating(When the
temperature is set to the highest
setting): outside air will be introduced
and the air conditioner will stop.
Quick Cooling(When the
temperature is set to the lowest
setting): inside air will be recirculated
and the air conditioner will operate.
The settings described above are the
factory settings.
The air selection and air conditioning
switches can be customised (function
setting changed), and the automatic
switching of outside air and the air
conditioner according to operating
conditions can be changed as desired.

NOTE Normally, use the outside
position to keep the windscreen and
side windows clear and quickly remove
fog or frost from the windscreen. If high
cooling performance is desired, or if the
outside air is dusty or otherwise
contaminated use the recirculation
position. Switch to the outside position
periodically to increase ventilation so
that the windows do not become
fogged up.
When the engine coolant temperature
rises to a certain level, the air selection
is automatically switched to the
recirculation position and the indicator
lamp (A) comes on. At this time, the
system will not switch to the outside
position even if the air selection switch
