POWER WINDOW LOCK
SWITCH
This feature prevents the passenger's
power window from operating. Keep
this switch in the locked position while
children are in the vehicle.
1 - Locked position (button
depressed)fig. 29: only the driver's
power window can be operated.
2 - Unlocked position (button not
depressed): both power windows on
each door can be operated.
IMPORTANT When the power window
lock switch is in the locked position, the
light on the passenger power window
switch turns off.
WARNING
46)Make sure the opening is clear before
closing a window: closing a power window
is dangerous. A person's hands, head, or
even neck could be caught by the window
and result in serious injury or even death.
This warning applies especially to children.
47)Never allow children to play with power
window switches: power window switches
that are not locked with the power window
lock switch would allow children to operate
power windows unintentionally, which
could result in serious injury if a child's
hands, head or neck becomes caught by
the window.
INTERNAL
EQUIPMENT
ACCESSORY SOCKET
The accessory socket is located deep
in the back of the footwell on the
passenger side fig. 30.
Only use genuine FCA accessories or
the equivalent requiring no greater than
120 W (DC 12V, 10A).
The ignition must be switched to ACC
or ON.
To prevent accessory socket damage
or electrical failure, pay attention to the
following:
do not use accessories that require
more than 120 W (DC 12V / 10A);
do not use accessories that are not
genuine FCA accessories or the
equivalent;2904070104-LE2-001

IMPORTANT Do not spray water
directly near the seam of the window
and convertible top when flushing away
dirt on the soft top with water.
Otherwise, water may enter the vehicle
(see paragraph “Convertible top
maintenance” in “Maintenance and
care” chapter).
CONVERTIBLE TOP
PRECAUTIONS
57) 58) 59) 60) 61)
12) 13) 15) 15) 16) 17) 18) 19) 20) 21)
Remove leaves or other matter that
may accumulate on and around the
convertible top. If leaves or other matter
block the drain filter, water may enter
the vehicle. Clean the drain filter at least
once a year.
Before opening the convertible top,
make sure the rear window defogger
switch is turned off. Otherwise the heatgenerated from the defogger could
damage the convertible top and the
internal material.
Before lowering or raising the
convertible top, stop in a safe place off
the right-of-way and park on a level
surface.
Make sure nothing is on the
convertible top or near the back
window when raising or lowering the
convertible top.
Even small objects may interfere and
cause damage.
When lowering the convertible top,
make sure objects inside the vehicle are
not blown away by the wind.
Secure all loose objects inside before
driving with the convertible top down.
To help prevent burglary or vandalism
and to ensure that the passenger
compartment stays dry, close the
convertible top and both windows
securely and lock both doors when
leaving the vehicle.
Do not drive through an automatic
car wash; it may damage the
convertible top.
Do not raise or lower the convertible
top when the temperature is below 5 °C
(41 °F); this will damage the convertible
top material.
The soft top is made of high quality
material and if it is not maintained
correctly, the material could harden,becomes stained, or have an uneven
gloss.
Do not lower the convertible top
when it's wet. If the convertible top
dries while folded, it will deteriorate and
mold.
Lowering the convertible top while
it's wet can also cause water to drip
into the passenger compartment.
Do not raise or lower the convertible
top in a strong wind as it could damage
the convertible top or cause an
unexpected accident.
The power windows go down
automatically in conjunction with the
convertible top opening/closing.
However, this is a function for improving
the operability, and it does not mean
there is a problem. If the vehicle battery
is disconnected for vehicle maintenance
or other reasons, the power windows
will not go down automatically. If the
power windows do not go down, the
automatic open/close mechanism for
the windows must be reset.
The windblocker reduces the amount
of wind coming into the cabin from
behind when driving with the
convertible top opened.

ODOMETER / TRIP METER
The display mode can be changed from
odometer to “Trip meter A” to “Trip
meter B” and then back to odometer by
pressing the selector 1 fig. 52 while one
of them is displayed. The selected
mode will be displayed.
Trip meter
The trip meter can record the total
distance of two trips. One is recorded in
“Trip A”, and the other is recorded in
“Trip B”.
For instance, “Trip A” can record the
distance from the point of origin, and
“Trip B” can record the distance from
where the fuel tank is filled.
Use this meter to measure trip
distances and to compute fuel
consumption.Versions with Radio 7”: if the fuel
economy data is reset using the fuel
economy monitor, or Trip A is reset
using the trip meter when the function
which synchronizes the fuel economy
monitor and the trip meter is on, the
fuel economy data and Trip A are reset
simultaneously.
NOTE Only the trip meters record
tenths of kilometers (miles).
Trip meter reset
The trip meter will be erased when the
power supply is interrupted (blown fuse
or the battery is disconnected) or when
the vehicle is driven over 9999.9 km
(mile).
INSTRUMENT PANEL
ILLUMINATION
Brightness adjustment
The brightness of the instrument cluster
and dashboard illuminations can be
adjusted by rotating the knob 1 fig. 53:
the brightness decreasesby
rotating the knob to the left. A beep
sound will be heard when the knob has
been rotated to the maximum dim
position;
the brightness increasesby
rotating the knob to the right.Cancelling illumination dimmer
Rotate the knob to the right until a beep
sound is heard while the instrument
cluster is dimmed with the ignition
switched ON. If the instrument cluster's
visibility is reduced due to glare from
surrounding brightness, cancel the
illumination dimmer.
When the illumination dimmer is
canceled, the instrument cluster cannot
be dimmed even if the position lights
are turned on. When the illumination
dimmer is canceled, the screen in the
center display switches to constant
display of the daytime screen.

RESUME SPEED
If the cruise control system temporarily
cancelled (such as by applying the
brake pedal) and the system is still
activated, the most recent set speed
will automatically resume when the
RES/+ switch is pressed.
If vehicle speed is below 40 km/h
(25 mph), increase the vehicle speed upto 40 km/h (25 mph) or more and press
the RES/+ switch.
TEMPORARILY
CANCELLING THE
SYSTEM
To temporarily cancel the system, use
one of these methods: slightly depress
the brake pedal/depress the clutch
pedal (versions with manual
transmission)/press the OFF/CANCEL
switch.
If the RES/+ switch is pressed

higher, the system reverts to the
previously set speed.
Note
If any of the following conditions occur,
the cruise control system is temporarily
canceled:
the parking brake is applied;
Versions with Speed limiter: the
MODE switch for the adjustable speed
limiter is pressed;
Automatic transmission: the
selector lever is in the P or N position or
on versions withmanual
transmission: the shift lever is in the
neutral position;
Automatic transmission: the cruise
control cannot be cancelled while
driving in manual mode (selector lever
shifted from D to M position). Therefore,
engine braking will not be applied evenif the transaxle is shifted down to a
lower gear. If deceleration is required,
lower the set speed or depress the
brake pedal;
When the cruise control system is
temporarily canceled by even one of the
applicable cancel conditions, the speed
cannot be reset.
WARNING
154)Always turn off the cruise control
system when it is not in use: leaving the
cruise control system in an activation-ready
state while the cruise control is not in use is
dangerous as the cruise control could
unexpectedly activate if the activation
button is accidentally pressed, and result in
loss of vehicle control and an accident.
155)While travelling with the device
activated, do not move the gear lever to
neutral.
156)In the event of device faults or failures,
go to a Fiat Dealership.
157)The cruise control can be dangerous
if the system cannot keep a constant
speed. In specific conditions speed may be
excessive, resulting in the risk of losing
control of the vehicle and causing
accidents. Do not use the device in heavy
traffic or on winding, icy, snowy or slippery
roads.
