Move the stalk upwards (unstable
position) to activate the MIST
function: operation is limited to the
time for which the stalk is held in this
position. When released, the stalk will
return to its default position and the
windscreen wiper automatically stop.
IMPORTANT This function does not
activate the windscreen washer;
windscreen washer fluid will not
therefore be sprayed onto the
windscreen. To spray windscreen
washer fluid onto the windscreen, the
washing function must be used. With
the ring nut A fig. 33 in position
, the
windscreen wiper is not activated. In
position
, the pause time between
the strokes of the windscreen wiper is
10 seconds, independently of the
vehicle speed. In position
, the pause
time between two strokes is set
according to the vehicle speed: when
the speed increases, the time between
two strokes decreases. In position LO
or HI, the windscreen wiper moves
continuously, i.e. without a pause
between two strokes.
“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) to operate the
windscreen washer.
When the stalk is held pulled for longer
than half a second, the windscreen wiper moves with active control.
Releasing the stalk will activate three
strokes.
With the ring nut A fig. 33 turned to
position
LOorHI, the smart washing
function is not carried out.
IMPORTANT If the stalk is activated for
less than half a second, only the
windscreen washer jet is activated. Do
not prolong the activation of the "Smart
Washing" function for more than
30 seconds. Do not activate the
windscreen washer control when the
reservoir is empty.
RAIN SENSOR
(where provided)
9) 10)
This is located behind the interior rear
view mirror fig. 34, in contact with the
windscreen and can measure the
amount of rain and, consequently,
manage the automatic wiping mode of
the windscreen in accordance with the
amount of water on the screen.
The rain sensor will be activated when
the ignition device is turned to MAR. If
no rain is detected, the wiper will not
carry out any strokes. If it is raining, the
windscreen wiper moves according to
the amount of rain measured by the
sensor. The device is able to recognise, and
automatically adjust itself in the
presence of the following conditions:
presence of dirt on the surface (e.g.
salt, dirt, etc.);
presence of streaks of water caused
by the worn window wiper blades;
difference between day and night.
The rain sensor will be deactivated only
when the ignition device is turned to
STOP.
IMPORTANT Keep the glass in the
sensor area clean.
AUTOMATIC WIPING
Activation
The automatic wiping can be chosen by
selecting the rain sensor from the
display Menu or on the Uconnect™
system and rotating the ring nut A
fig. 33 to position
or.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

IMPORTANT The system does not
signal the presence of fixed object (e.g.
safety barriers, poles, walls, etc.).
However, in some circumstances, the
system may activate in the presence of
these objects. This is normal and does
not indicate a system malfunction.
IMPORTANT The system does not
warn the driver about the presence of
vehicles coming from the opposite
direction, in the adjacent lanes.
60)
Important notes
If a trailer is connected to the car, to
avoid false indications this system must
be manually deactivated using the
relative menu.
For the system to operate correctly, the
rear bumper area where the radar
sensors are located must stay free from
snow, ice and dirt gathered from the
road surface.
Do not cover the rear bumper area
where the radar sensors are located
with any object (e.g. adhesives, bike
rack, etc.).Rear-view
The system detects vehicles coming
from the rear part of your vehicle on
both sides and entering the rear
detection area with a difference in
speed of less than 50 km/h with
respect to your vehicle.
Overtaking vehicles
If another vehicle is overtaken slowly
(with a difference in speed of less than
about 25 km/h) and this stays in the
blind spot for about 1.5 seconds, the
warning light on the door mirror of the
corresponding side lights up.
If the speed delta between the two
vehicles is higher than about 25 km/h,
the warning light does not light up.
RCP (Rear Cross Path detection)
system
This system helps the driver during
reverse manoeuvres in the case of
reduced visibility.
The RCP system monitors the rear
detection areas on both sides of the
vehicle, to detect objects moving
towards the sides of the vehicle at a
minimum speed between about 1 km/h
and 3 km/h and objects moving at a
maximum speed of 35 km/h, as
generally happens in parking areas.The system activation is signalled to the
driver by means of a visual and acoustic
warning.
IMPORTANT If the sensors are covered
by objects or vehicles, the system will
not warn the driver.
Operating mode
The system can be activated/
deactivated by operating on the display
Menu, or via the
Uconnect™system
(for further information see the
dedicated Supplement).
Blind Spot Assist "Visual" mode
When this mode is active, the BSA
system sends a visual warning to the
door mirror relating to the object
detected.
However, when operating in "RCP"
mode, the system produces acoustic
and visual warnings when if the
presence of an object is detected.
When an acoustic warning is sent,
theUconnect™ volume is lowered.
Blind Spot Assist "Visual &
acoustic" mode
When this mode has been activated,
the BSA system sends a visual warning
to the door mirror relating to the object
detected.

ENGINE STARTING
FAILURE
Starting the engine with electronic
key battery (Keyless Go) run down
or flat
If the ignition device does not respond
when the relevant button is pressed the
electronic key battery might be run
down or flat. Therefore, the system
does not detect the presence of the
electronic key on board the vehicle and
displays a dedicated message. In this
case, rest the rounded edge of the
electronic key (the side opposite the
metal insert) on the ignition device and
press the button using the electronic
key. The ignition device is thus activated
and the engine can be started.
WARNING
106) Do not try to start the engine pouring
fuel or other flammable fluid inside the
throttle body air intake: this might damage
the engine and injury people nearby.
107) It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine takes in
oxygen and releases carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
108) The brake servo is not active until the
engine is started, so you would need to
apply much more force than usual to the
brake pedal.

STARTING AND DRIVING

71)Do not tamper with nor operate on the
camera. Do not close the openings in the
aesthetic cover located under the interior
rear view mirror. In the event of a failure of
the camera, contact a Fiat Dealership.
72) Do not cover the operating range of the
camera 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 camera.
73) The camera may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow,
formation of ice layers on the windscreen.
74) Camera operation may also be
compromised by the presence of dust,
condensation, dirt or ice on the
windscreen, by traffic conditions (e.g.
vehicles that are driving not aligned with
yours, vehicle driving in a transverse or
opposite way on the same lane, bend with
a small radius of curvature), by road
surface conditions and by driving
conditions (e.g. off-road driving). Make sure
the windscreen is always clean. Use
specific detergents and clean cloths to
avoid scratching the windscreen. The
camera operation may also be limited or
absent in some driving, traffic and road
surface conditions.REAR VIEW CAMERA
