GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
In-depth knowledge of your new vehicle
starts here.
The handbook that you are reading
simply and directly explains how it is
made and how it works.
That’s why we advise you to read it
seated comfortably on board, so that
you can see immediately what is
described here for yourself.KEYS....................13

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.

Side ventilators
Move the knob (1) to adjust the air flow
direction.
To close the vent, move the knob (1) to
the outside as far as possible.
A — Close
B — OpenNOTE On vehicles with air conditioning,
the cool air from the ventilators may
appear as a mist. This is due to moist
air being suddenly cooled by the air
conditioning. This will clear after a few
moments.
NOTE Be careful not to spill beverages,
etc., into the ventilators. Doing so might
cause the air conditioner not to function
normally.

The next several illustrations show the
different quantity of air coming from the
ventilators.
