USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Each time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are given, these must be intended as
regarding an occupant in the driver's seat. Special cases not complying with this rule will be specified as appropriate in the text.
The figures in the Owner Handbook are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do
not correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle. In addition, the Handbook has been conceived considering cars with
steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on cars with steering wheel on the right side, the position or
construction of some controls is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure.
To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner Handbook.
Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further there is a key
for getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is in any case a textual indication of the
current chapter at the side of each even page.

Mirrors with manual adjustment:
When driving at night, to avoid being
dazzled by vehicle lights behind you,
move the lever 2 fig. 67 located behind
the mirror.
Electrochromic mirror: The mirror
automatically darkens at night when
you are followed by a vehicle with its
lights on.
WARNING
31)For safety reasons, carry out these
operations when the vehicle is stopped.
32)When driving, the external mirrors must
always be in the open position. As door
mirrors are curved, they may slightly alter
the perception of distance.33)Objects reflected in the rear view mirror
are actually closer than they appear. For
safety reasons, keep this in mind to
correctly assess the distance before any
manoeuvring.

NOTE When driving, each time the
vehicle stops, the windscreen wipers
slow down: from fast to slow
continuous operation. As soon as the
vehicle moves again, the wipers return
to the initially selected speed. Any
operation of lever 1 fig. 81 takes
precedence and annuls any
automatism.
Cars with automatic windscreen
wipers
(For versions/markets where provided)
With the engine started, move lever 1
fig. 82
Afig. 81 Stop
Bfig. 81 Automatic windscreen
wiper function. In this position, the
system detects water on the
windscreen and runs the wipers to the
best speed.You can change the activation threshold
and the time between one wipe and the
next by turning the ring 2:
Efig. 82 Minimum sensitivity
Ffig. 82 Maximum sensitivity
C fig. 81Continuous slow operation
Dfig. 81 Continuous fast operation
NOTE If there is fog or snow, the
automatic windscreen wipers are not
systematic and the driver has to
operate them.
IMPORTANT Position C fig. 81 is
accessible when the starter device is
on. Position B and D fig. 81 are
accessible with the engine started.
NOTE There is a service position for
replacing the wiper blades. With the
starter device on and engine stopped,
move the wiper stalk 1 all down
(position D) fig. 81. The wiper arm stops
in a position away from the bonnet (see
the "Windscreen wipers" paragraph in
the "Maintenance and care" chapter).
Windscreen washer
With starter device inserted, pull lever 1
fig. 83 towards the driver. Pulling the
lever briefly, activates a single wipe
together with the screen washer. Pulling
the lever for a longer time, activates
three consecutive wipes together with
the screen washer, and then a fourth
wipe after a few seconds.IMPORTANT In the case of ice or snow,
clean the windscreen (including the
central section behind the interior rear
view mirror) and the rear window before
activating the wipers (risk of overheating
their electric motor). Check condition of
the wiper blades:
they have to stay clean: clean both
windscreen and rear window regularly
with soapy water;
do not use them when the
windscreen and rear window are dry;
detach them from the windscreen or
rear window if they have not been used
for a long time.
In any case, replace them as soon as
they are no longer efficient: about once
a year. Check that there is no item that
could interfere with the windscreen
wiper trajectory.

in automatic mode, when you put the
gear in reverse, the rear window starts
working intermittently.
IMPORTANT In the case of ice or snow,
clean the windscreen (including the
central section behind the interior rear
view mirror) and the rear window before
activating the wipers (risk of overheating
their electric motor). Check condition of
the wiper blades:
they have to be kept clean: clean the
blades, the windscreen and rear
window regularly with soapy water;
do not use them when the
windscreen and rear window are dry;
detach them from the windscreen or
rear window if they have not been used
for a long time.
IMPORTANT In any case, replace them
as soon as they are no longer efficient:
about once a year. Check that there is
no item that could interfere with the rear
window wiper trajectory.
IMPORTANT Do not use the wiper arm
to open or close the luggage
compartment door.
WARNING
38)When working in the engine
compartment, make sure that the
windscreen wiper is in position A
(stopped). Risk of injury.39)If the window needs to be cleaned,
make sure the device is deactivated or the
key is on STOP.
40)Before doing anything on the
windscreen (washing the vehicle,
defrosting, cleaning the windscreen...) put
the stalk 1 fig. 81 in position A (stop). You
risk injury and/or damage to the vehicle.
41)When working in the engine
compartment, make sure that the end of
the rear screen wiper stalk 1 is on the stop
position 2 fig. 84. Risk of injury.
IMPORTANT
4)Never use the windscreen wipers 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
subsequently restored, even after restarting
the vehicle, contact a Fiat Dealership.
5)Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with the blades lifted from the windscreen.
6)Make sure the device is switched off if
there is ice on the windscreen.
