Never use the windscreen wipers to
remove layers of snow or ice from the
windscreen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wipers may be subjected to excessive
stress and the motor protection, which prevents
operation for a few seconds, may intervene. If
operation is not restored, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
"Smart washing" functionfig. 52
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel (unstable
position) to operate the windscreen washer.
Keep the stalk pulled, with just one movement, to
operate the washer jet and the windscreen wiper;
the latter automatically turns on if you keep the
stalk pulled for more than half a second.
The windscreen wiper stops operating a few
strokes after releasing the stalk; a further “cleaning
stroke”, after a few seconds, completes the wiping
operation.
RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The rain sensor A fig. 53 is located behind the
interior rear view mirror in contact with the
windscreen and has the purpose of automatically
adjusting the frequency of the windscreen wiper
strokes depending on the intensity of the rain
during intermittent operation.The sensor has an adjustment range that varies
progressively from wiper still (no stroke) when the
windscreen is dry, to wiper at first continuous
speed (slow continuous operation) with intense
rain.

ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN
ABROAD
The dipped headlights are directed for operation in
the country where the vehicle was originally
purchased. When in countries where you drive on
the other side of the road, you need to alter the
beam direction by affixing a specially designed
self-adhesive film in order not to dazzle the vehicles
travelling in the opposite direction. Such film is
provided by Lineaccessori Fiat and is available
at Fiat Dealerships.
ABS SYSTEMABS is an integral part of the braking system which
prevents, whatever the road conditions and force
applied to the brake pedal, the wheels from locking
and consequently sliding under braking, thus
ensuring that the vehicle remains under control
even during emergency braking.
The EBD system (Electronic Braking Force
Distribution) completes the system allowing the
brake force to be distributed between the front and
rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To obtain the maximum efficiency of
the braking system, a bedding-in period of about
500 km is needed: during this period it is better to
avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged braking.
WARNING
The ABS gets the most from the
available grip, but it cannot improve it ;
you should therefore take every care when
driving on slippery surfaces and not take
unnecessary risks.

SYSTEM INTERVENTION
The driver can feel that the ABS system has come
into action because the brake pedal pulsates slightly
and the system gets noisier: it means that the car
speed should be altered to suit the type of road
surface.
WARNING
When the ABS cuts in and you feel the
brake pedal pulsating, do not raise
your foot , but keep it pressed; in doing so you
will stop in the shortest amount of space
possible depending on the current road
conditions.
WARNING
If the ABS intervenes, it is a sign that
the grip between tyre and the road
surface has reached the limit : you must slow
down to adapt the speed to the road grip
available.
ABS FAILURE INDICATION
This is indicated by the
warning light on the
instrument panel together with the dedicated
message on the multifunction display (for
versions/markets where available) coming on (see
“Warning lights and messages” section).In the case, the braking system will work as normal
without the extra capacity offered by the ABS
system. Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat
Dealership to have the system checked.
EBD FAILURE INDICATION
This is indicated by the warning lights
and
on
the instrument panel together with the dedicated
message on the multifunction display (for
versions/markets where available) coming on (see
“Warning lights and messages” section).
In this case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock and
the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply.
Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to
have the system checked.
WARNING
If only the warning light
on the
instrument panel switches on - together
with a message in the multifunction display
(for versions/markets, where provided) - stop
the car immediately and contact the nearest
Fiat Dealership. Fluid leaking from the
hydraulic system will compromise the
operation of the braking system, whether it is
of the conventional type or with ABS.
