GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

These will be used to set the sensitivity
level of the rain sensor: in position
,
the sensor has a lower sensitivity and
the windscreen wipers will activate
when there is a significant amount of
water on the windscreen; while in
position
, the windscreen wipers will
be activated by a minimum amount of
rain measured.
The activation of the automatic wiping
will be notified to the driver by a single
stroke.
The same stroke will be visible every
time the sensor sensitivity is increased,
by rotating the ring nut from position
to position.
The "Smart Washing" function activates
the normal washing cycle, after which
the automatic wiping function is
restored. The failure of the sensor is
indicated by the
symbol lighting up
on the display.
If the rain sensor malfunctions, the
wiper mode can be modified according
to requirements. The malfunction signal
remain active during the operation time
of the sensor or until the device is reset. Inhibition
If the ignition device is turned to STOP,
leaving the ring nut A in position
or
, when the engine is next started
(ignition device at MAR), no wiping
cycle occurs for system protection
reasons.
This temporary inhibition prevents
unwanted activation of the wipers when
the car is started (i.e. when the
windscreen is being washed by hand or
the wipers are stuck to the windscreen
by ice).
It is possible to reactivate the automatic
wiping mode in three ways:
by rotating the ring nut to position O
and then again to position
or
by moving the stalk upwards to
position MIST
upon exceeding the 5 km/h speed
with the rain sensor
When the windscreen wiper is
reactivated using any of the
manoeuvres described above,
reactivation is indicated by a single
stroke of the windscreen wipers,
regardless of the condition of the
windscreen.
IMPORTANT For automatic
transmission vehicles with rain sensor,
engaging the gear N (Neutral) inhibits
the automatic wiping mode.
Deactivation
It is possible to deselect the automatic
wiping through the display Menu or the
Uconnect™ system, or by rotating ring
nut A to any non-intermittent position (
or).
Service Position
The function allows the driver to replace
the windscreen wiper blades more
easily, protecting them also from ice
and/or snow.
Activation
To activate this function deactivate the
windscreen wiper (ring nut A fig. 33 in
position
) before setting the ignition
device to STOP. This function can only
be activated within 2 minutes of setting
the ignition device to STOP.
To activate this function, move the lever
upwards (unstable position) for at least
half a second.
Each time the function is activated
correctly, the wiper blades move to
signal the correct reception of the
command. The command can be
repeated up to a maximum of the three
times. The fourth repetition of the
command deactivates the function.

DISPLAY
DESCRIPTION
The vehicle is equipped with a display
that can show useful information to the
driver while driving.
The display fig. 57 will show the
following information:
A: time, Gear Shift Indicator (where
provided), gear engagement (versions
with automatic transmission only),
outside temperature, compass
indications (where provided), date.
B: vehicle speed, warning
messages/any failure indications.
C: total kilometres (or miles) run and
icons of any failure indications.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
(where provided)
The Gear Shift Indicator (GSI) system
advises the driver when to change gear
through a special indication on the
display
Through the GSI, the driver is informed
that the gear change will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption to be
obtained.
When the SHIFT UP icon (
SHIFT) is
shown on the display, the GSI is
advising the driver to engage a higher
gear, while the SHIFT DOWN (
SHIFT) icon advises the driver to
engage a lower gear.
The indication in the display remains
until a gear is shifted or the driving
conditions go back to a situation where
gearshifting is not required to improve
consumption.
CONTROL BUTTONS
These are located on the left side of the
steering wheel fig. 58.
They allow the driver to select and
interact with the items in the Main menu
of the display (see paragraph "Main
menu").

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

TRIP COMPUTER
The "Trip computer" is used to display
information on vehicle operation when
the ignition device is at MAR.
This function is characterised by two
separate memories, called "Trip A" and
"Trip B", where the vehicle's "complete
missions" (journeys) are recorded in a
reciprocally independent manner.
“Trip A” and “Trip B” are used to display
the values relating to:
Distance travelled
Average fuel consumption
Average speed
Trip time (driving time)
On LPG versions, the “Range”,
“Average consumption” and
“Instantaneous consumption” values
are available for both petrol and LPG. To reset the values, press and hold
down the
OKfig. 59 button on the
steering wheel.
NOTE "Range" and "Instant
consumption" values cannot be reset.

Warning lightWhat it means
yellowiTPMS
iTPMS failure
When an iTPMS system failure is detected, the light flashes for 75 seconds, then stays on and a warning
message appears. This also happens if there are one or more wheels without sensors, until initial
conditions are restored.
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or more flat tyres as handling may be compromised. Stop
the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steering. Repair immediately using the dedicated tyre repair kit (see
the “Fix&Go Automatic kit” paragraph in the "In an emergency" chapter) and contact a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.
Tyre pressure low
The warning light switches on and a message is displayed to indicate that the tyre pressure is lower than
the recommended value and/or that slow pressure loss is occurring. In these cases, optimal tyre duration
and fuel consumption may not be guaranteed.
In any situation in which the dedicated message is shown on the display, it is ESSENTIAL to refer to the
contents of the "Wheels" paragraph in the "Technical data" chapter, strictly complying with the indications
that you find there.
Once the normal operating conditions of the car are restored, carry out the "Reset" procedure.
WARNING Do not continue driving with one or more flat tyres as the car handling may be compromised.
Stop the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steering.
