FIAT BRAVO 2014 2.G Repair Manual

Activation
Move the right stalk down by one click.
The activation of the sensor is signalled by a "stroke"
to show that the command has been acquired.
IMPORTANT Keep the glass in the sensor area clean.
By turning ring nut F fig. 37 is it possible to increase
the sensitivity of the rain sensor to obtain a more
rapid variation between wiper still (no stroke) when
the windscreen is dry, to wiper at first continuous
speed (slow continuous operation).
The increasing of the rain sensor sensitivity is also
signalled by a stroke of the wipers.
If the windscreen washer is used with the rain sensor
activated, the normal washing cycle is performed,
after which the rain sensor resumes its normal
automatic operation.
Deactivation
Turn the ignition key to STOP.
At the next start-up (key at MAR-ON), the sensor
will not be reactivated even if the stalk is at B fig. 37.
To activate the sensor, move the stalk to position
A or C and then back to position B.
Rain sensor activation will be indicated by at least
one wiper “stroke” even if the windscreen is dry.
Do not activate the rain sensor when
washing the car in an automatic car wash.
Make sure the device is switched off if
there is ice on the windscreen.
WARNING
Make sure the device is switched off
whenever the windscreen is being
cleaned.
REAR WINDOW WASHER/WIPER
It can be operated only with the ignition key turned
to MAR-ON. The function stops when the stalk is
released.
Turning the stalk ring nut A fig. 40 from position
to position
will operate the rear window wiper
as follows:
❒in intermittent mode when the rear window 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 the rear window wiper is activated in
continuous mode. Pushing the stalk towards the
dashboard (unstable 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.
HEADLIGHT WASHERS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The headlight washers fig. 41 are retractable, i.e. they
are located inside the front bumper and work when
the windscreen washer is activated with the dipped
and/or main beam headlights on.
IMPORTANT Check the correct operation and
cleanliness of nozzles at regular intervals.
Do not use the rear window wiper to
removelayersofsnoworice.In
such conditions, the wiper 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.

CRUISE CONTROL(constant speed regulator)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is an electronically controlled driving assistance
device which allows the car to be driven at a chosen
speed above 30 km/h on long stretches of dry,
straight roads with few variations (e.g. motorways),
without having to depress the accelerator pedal.
The use of this device on extra-urban roads with
traffic is not therefore recommended. Do not use
the device in town.
TURNING THE DEVICE ON
Turn the ring nut A fig. 42 to the ON position.
The device must only be switched on in 4th gear or
higher. When travelling downhill with the device
engaged, the vehicle speed may slightly exceed the
preset one.The activation is indicated by the turning on of
warning light
on the instrument panel (together
with the dedicated message on the display) (see
“Warning lights and messages” chapter).
STORING THE VEHICLE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❒turn ring nut A fig. 42 to ON and press the
accelerator pedal so that the car reaches the
desired speed;
❒turn the ring nut B to (+) for at least three
seconds, then release it. The vehicle speed is now
memorised and you can therefore release the
accelerator pedal.
If needed (when overtaking for instance), you can
accelerate simply by depressing the accelerator pedal;
when you release the pedal, the vehicle goes back
to the speed set previously.
RESTORING STORED SPEED
If the device has been switched off, for example by
depressing the brake or clutch pedal, the memorised
speed can be restored as follows:
❒accelerate progressively until a speed close to that
stored is reached;
❒engage the gear selected at the time that the
speed was memorised (4th, 5th or 6th gear);
❒press button C fig. 42.

INCREASING THE STORED SPEED
This can be done in two ways:
❒by pressing the accelerator and memorising the
new speed reached;
or
❒by temporarily turning ring nut B fig. 42 to (+).
Each movement of the ring nut will correspond to a
slight increase in speed (about 1 km/h), while keeping
the ring nut turned will correspond to a continuous
speed increase.
REDUCING THE STORED SPEED
This can be done in two ways:
❒by switching off the device and then memorising
the new speed;
or
❒by keeping ring nut B fig. 42 turned to (–) until the
new speed is reached; it will then be memorised
automatically.
Each movement of the ring nut will correspond to a
slight reduction in speed (about 1 km/h), while
keeping the ring nut turned will correspond to a
continuous reduction in speed.TURNING THE DEVICE OFF
Turn the ring nut A fig. 42 to OFF or turn the
ignition key to STOP. The device is automatically
turned off in one of the following cases:
❒when the brake or clutch pedal is pressed;
❒if the ASR or ESP system cuts in (for versions/
markets, where provided);
❒if the gear is shifted in versions with Dualogic
gearbox (for versions/markets, where provided) in
Manual mode;
❒if the Dualogic gearbox lever (where provided) is
inadvertently shifted to N or R.
WARNING
Whilst driving with the device on, never
place the gear lever in neutral and do
not move the Dualogic gearbox lever into
position N or R.
WARNING
If the device is faulty, turn ring nut A
fig. 42 to OFF, check the condition of the
protective fuse and contact a Fiat Dealership.

ROOF LIGHTSFRONT ROOF LIGHT WITH SPOT LIGHTS
Switch A fig. 43 switches the roof lights on/off.
With the switch A in the central position, the lights
C and D come on/go off when front doors are
opened/closed.
With switch A pressed to the left, lights C and D are
always off. With switch A pressed to the right, the
lights C and D are always on.
Lights switch on/off progressively.
Switch B controls the spot light function; when the
roof light is off, it switches on individually:
❒light C if pressed on the left side;
❒light D if pressed on the right side.IMPORTANT Before getting out of the car, make
sure that both switches are in the central position:
when the doors are closed the lights will switch
off to avoid draining the battery. In any case, if the
switch is left in on position, the roof light switches
off automatically 15 minutes after the engine
switching off.
Roof light timing
To make getting in and out the vehicle easier,
especially at nighttime or in poorly lit areas, two
timing logics are available.
Timing when getting into the car
The roof lights switch on according to the following
modes:
❒for around 10 seconds when the front doors are
unlocked;
❒for about 3 minutes when one of the side doors is
opened;
❒for about 10 seconds when the doors are closed.
The timing is interrupted when the ignition key is
turned to MAR-ON.

FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH
(as an alternative to the fuel cut-off system, for
versions/markets where provided)
It is located in the bottom, near the passenger side
pillar fig. 48. It is triggered in the event of an impact,
causing:
❒the fuel supply cut-off with the engine
consequently switching off;
❒the automatic unlocking of the doors;
❒the interior lights being switched on (for about 15
minutes).
The intervention of the switch is indicated by the
switching on of the
warning light on the
instrument panel or the
symbol on the display
(together with a message) (see “Warning lights and
messages” section).Carefully check the car for fuel leaks, for instance in
the engine compartment, under the car or near

If no fuel leaks are found and the car can be started
again, press button A to reactivate the fuel system
and the lights.
After a collision, turn the ignition key to STOP to
prevent the battery from running down.
WARNING
If, after a collision, you smell fuel or
notice leaks from the fuel supply system,
do not reset the switch to avoid fire risk.
