REAR WINDOW WIPER /
WASHER
(For versions/markets, where provided)
This operates only with the ignition
key turned to MAR.
Activation
Turn the ring nut to
to operate the
rear window wiper:
in intermittent mode when the
windscreen wiper is not operating;
in synchronous mode (at half the
speed of the windscreen wiper) when
the windscreen wiper is operating;
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 (rocking position) will
activate the rear window washer jet.
Keep the stalk pushed for more than
half a second to activate the rear
window wiper as well. Releasing the
stalk will activate the smart washing
function, as described for the
windscreen wiper.
Deactivation
The function stops when the stalk is
released.
5)
HEADLIGHT WASHERS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
They are activated when the dipped
headlights are on and the windscreen
washer is activated.
IMPORTANT Check jet function and
cleanliness at regular intervals.
6)
WARNING
3)Do not use the windscreen 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 (even after turning the key and
restarting the engine), contact a Fiat
Dealership.
4)Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with the blades lifted from the windscreen.
5)Do not use the rear window wiper to
remove layers of snow or ice. In such
conditions, the screen 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.
6)The headlamp washer jet does not
function when the level of fluid in the
reservoir falls below 1.6 litres.
33
38)Never exceed the maximum allowed
load in the luggage compartment, see
chapter “Technical specifications”. Also
make sure that the objects you place in the
luggage compartment have been properly
secured, to avoid them from being thrown
forward consequent to sudden braking and
injuring your passengers.
39)You must not use the folded rear seat
to carry luggage. The load could be thrown
forward into the backrest of the front
seats, seriously injuring the occupants.
40)Make sure that the objects are
positioned carefully and secured to the
hooks on the floor to prevent them flung
forwards in the event of sharp braking and
causing injury to the passengers.
WARNING
7)To close the tailgate use handle B fig.
73. Do not try to close the tailgate by
pressing on the side shock absorbers C
fig. 73. Also be careful not to knock the
side shock absorbers when you load the
boot, to avoid damaging them.
HEADLIGHTS
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
loaded, raising the beam. The beams
must therefore be realigned in this case.
Headlight alignment
adjustment
Press
andfig. 86 on the
control panel.
The display located on the instrument
panel provides a visual warning of
the adjusted position.
Position 0 - one or two people in the
front seats.
Position 1 - five people.Position 2 - five people + load in the
luggage compartment.
Position 3 - driver + maximum
permitted load stowed in the luggage
compartment.
IMPORTANT Check the light beam
alignment every time the load
transported changes.

Cylinder certification
The methane cylinders are certified in
accordance with ECE Regulation no.
110.
The cylinders must be inspected, in
accordance with ECE Regulation
Procedure no. 110, every 4 years from
the vehicle registration date or in
accordance with specific regulations in
individual countries.PETROL/METHANE
SWITCH
This engine normally runs on methane
except during starting when it runs
on petrol. Switching to methane takes
place automatically and is shown on
the instrument panel display by
switching off the
signal in the display.
Methane fuel reserve
The level of methane in the cylinders is
indicated by the four vertical bars
near the word CNG on the instrument
panel display fig. 91. When the residual
amount of methane is lower than 1/5
of the capacity of the cylinders, the first
level and the edges of the bars of the
other 3 levels flash until the next
methane refuelling. A specific message
will appear on the display in addition
to an acoustic warning.
If the methane has run out, switching to
petrol takes place automatically:
for Euro 5 versions: on the
instrument panel display, first level plus
edges of the bars of the other three
levels keep blinking and the indicator
lights up near the CNG icon.
for Euro 6 versions: on the display,
all the empty segments stop flashing
and then the
indicator near the CNG
icon turns on.
If you specifically wish to run on petrol,
press the dedicated button fig. 87
located on the central tunnel. The LED
on the button switching on indicates
that the request for switching has taken
place correctly.
The actual change to the chosen fuel
system takes place depending on
the vehicle usage conditions to
guarantee switching in absolute safety
and will be confirmed by the
warning
light in the instrument panel display
coming on/going off.
In addition, in the case of starting at
outside temperatures of below around
-10°C, the switching times from Petrol
to Methane increase to allow the
pressure regulator/reduction unit to
become warm enough.
IMPORTANT If switching takes place
during acceleration or pick-up, there
may be a brief flat spot (drop in power).

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
The warning light switches on together with (where the instrument panel permits) a specific message and/or acoustic warning.
These indications are indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to
the information contained in the Owner Handbook, which you are advised to read carefully in all cases. In the event of a failure
indication, always refer to the contents of this chapter.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed are divided into two categories: very serious and less serious failures. Serious faults
are indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious faults are indicated by a warning "cycle" with a shorter
duration. The display cycle of both categories can be interrupted. The instrument panel warning light will stay on until the
cause of the malfunction is eliminated.
Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
redLOW BRAKE FLUID / HANDBRAKE APPLIED / LOW
BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM
The warning light switches on when the key is turned to
MAR-ON, but it should switch off after a few seconds.
44)
Low brake fluid level
The warning light turns on when the level of the brake
fluid in the reservoir falls below the minimum level,
possibly due to a leak in the circuit.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated
message.Restore the brake fluid level, then check that the
warning light has switched off.
If the warning light turns on when travelling (on certain
versions together with the message on the display) stop
the vehicle immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
Handbrake engaged
The warning light switches on when the handbrake is
engaged.
On certain versions, if the vehicle is moving an acoustic
signal will also sound.
If the warning light comes on while driving, check that
the handbrake is not on.Release the handbrake, then check that the warning
light has switched off.
If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership.

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
redBrake booster vacuum low
The warning light switches on in the event of brake
servo failure; in this case the pedal can become stiff
while braking.This failure in the brake servo does not affect the
braking efficiency of the system, but the power assisted
steering is reduced. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have
the vehicle checked.
IMPORTANT The brake system uses an electric pump
to increase the brake servo vacuum. In certain driving
situations, the device operation could be felt, but this
condition IS PART OF THE STANDARD SYSTEM
OPERATION.
red
amber
amberEBD FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the
(red),
(amber) and(amber) warning lights (for
versions/markets, where provided) with the engine on
indicates either an anomaly of the EBD system or that
the system is not available. In this case, the rear wheels
may suddenly lock and the vehicle may swerve when
braking sharply.
The display shows the dedicated message.Drive very carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to
have the system inspected immediately.
