DEVICE
This allows the space in front of the
vehicle to be lit for a set time.
Activation
The lights turning on time is adjustable
and programmable interacting via
the Setup Menu of the instrument
panel.
It is possible to choose between 0, 30,
60 up to 90 seconds. The device is
activated automatically after turning off
the car and having rotated the ring
nut A fig. 25 to positionO.
It is also possible (if the program
described above is set to "0" seconds)
to set the headlights start time by
pulling the left stalk toward you once or
more times (same procedure to activate
the main beam lights). In this case it is
possible to choose between 0, 30,
60, 90 up to a maximum of 210
seconds.
Each time the stalk is operated, the
warning light
on the instrument
panel switches on. The display shows a
message and the time set for the
function. The
warning light comes
on when the stalk is first moved and
stays on until the function is
automatically deactivated.
Deactivation
This function is deactivated by
switching on the headlights, the side
lights or bringing the ignition device to
MAR.
WARNING
20)The daytime running lights are an
alternative to the dipped beam headlights
for driving in countries where it is
compulsory to have lights on during the
day; where it is not compulsory, the use of
daytime running lights is permitted.
21)Daytime running lights cannot replace
dipped beam headlights when driving at
night or through tunnels. The use of
daytime running lights is governed by the
highway code of the country in which
you are driving. Comply with legal

windscreen washer.
Keeping the stalk pulled for more than
half a second, with just one movement
it is possible to operate the washer
jet and the wiper at the same time.

after the stalk is released.
On some versions, a further stroke after
approximately 6 seconds completes
the cycle.
RAIN SENSOR(for versions/markets, where provided)
22)8) 9)This is located behind the interior rear
view mirror, in contact with the
windscreen and can detect the
presence of rain and, consequently,
manage the cleaning of the windscreen
in accordance with the amount of
water on the screen.Activation: rotate the ring nut A fig. 26
to position
: the windscreen wiper
stroke frequency is thus adjusted in
accordance with the amount of water
on the windscreen. The activation of the
sensor is signalled by a "stroke" to
show that the command has been
acquired.
Deactivation: move the stalk ring nut
away from the position
or turn
the ignition key to STOP. If the ignition
key is turned to the STOP position
leaving the ring nut A in position
,
no wiping cycle is performed at the next
startup (ignition key to the MAR
position) even in the case of rain.

turned to MAR.
Activation: turn the ring nut B fig. 26
from position
to positionto
activate the rear window wiper
as follows:
❒in intermittent mode when the
windscreen 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
engaged.With the windscreen wiper on and
reverse gear engaged, rear window
wiping will be continuous in the same
way.
Pushing the stalk towards the
dashboard (unstable position) the rear
window washer jet will activate. 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.
Deactivation: release the lever.
WARNING
22)Make sure the device is switched off
whenever the windscreen must be
cleaned.
WARNING
6)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
(even after turning the key and restarting
the vehicle engine), contact a Fiat
Dealership.
7)Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with blades lifted from the windscreen.

DUALDRIVE
ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING
This only operates with the key turned
to MAR and the engine started. The
electric steering allows the force
required at the steering wheel to be
adjusted to suit driving conditions.
IMPORTANT When turning the ignition
key quickly, full power steering
functionality can be achieved after a
few seconds.
IMPORTANT During parking
manoeuvres requiring a lot of steering,
the steering may become harder; this is
normal and is due to the intervention
of the system to protect the electric
steering motor from overheating. No
repair intervention is needed in this
case. When the vehicle is used again,
the power steering will work normally
again.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
The following plate is applied inside the
engine compartment fig. 45.

IMPORTANT The Dualdrive electric
power steering has an electronic
damping effect while approaching the
end of stroke. In some manoeuvring
conditions, the steering wheel might
rotate a bit before touching its
mechanical stop. This behaviour is
standard as it takes place to prevent
strong impacts on the mechanical
components inside the device.
POWER STEERING
ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
33) 34)Activation/deactivation: press the
The activation of the function is
signalled by the switching on of the
LED located on the button and by the
displaying of the word CITY on the
instrument panel or, depending on the
version, on the display.When the power steering is on, the
steering wheel effort is lighter, making
parking easier: therefore, this function is
particularly useful for driving in city
centres.
WARNING
33)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installation of anti-theft
device) that could adversely affect
performance and safety, invalidate the
warranty and also result in non-compliance
of the vehicle with type-approval
requirements.
34)Before performing any maintenance
operations, always turn off the engine and
remove the key from the ignition to lock the
steering column (especially when the car
wheels are not touching the ground). If this
is not possible (for example if the key
needs to be turned to MAR or the engine
must be running), remove the main fuse
that protects the electric power steering.

INTRODUCTION
The LPG version features two fuel
supply systems: one for petrol and one
for LPG.
PASSIVE SAFETY/ACTIVE
SAFETY
Although the LPG system has
numerous safety features, it is advisable
to proceed as follows every time the
vehicle is not in use for a long period or
moved in an emergency as a result of
a breakdown or accident:
❒unscrew the fixing devices A fig. 47,
then remove the cover B;

LPG TANK
The car has a (pressurised) tank A fig. 4 9
for collecting LPG in a liquid state. It
is located in the spare wheel
compartment with suitable protection.
LPG tank certification
The LPG tank is certified in accordance
with the regulations in force.In Italy, the tank has a life of 10 years
starting from the vehicle registration
date. If the vehicle has been registered
in a country other than Italy, the
duration and the testing/inspection
procedures of the LPG tank can vary
depending on the national laws of that
country. In any case, when the time limit
in the individual country has run out,
contact a Fiat Dealership to have the
tank replaced.SELECTION OF
PETROL/LPG SUPPLY
TYPE
The (petrol/LPG switch) button A fig. 50
allows drivers to select petrol or LPG
operation.
If, during LPG operation, the same runs
out, the vehicle switches to petrol
automatically and all the bars of the
digital gauge on the display switch off,
next to the LPG warning. This condition
persists until the next LPG refuelling.The engine always starts up on petrol,
with automatic switching to LPG when
the best conditions are achieved
(engine water temperature, minimum
engine rpm limit) for switching to LPG.
SUPPLIES
LPG
Maximum refuelling capacity (reserve
included): 38.4 litres. The figure already
takes into account the 80% tank filling
limit and the residual fluid required
for correct priming and it is the
maximum permitted capacity. In
addition, after different refuelling
processes, this figure could vary due to
differences between the network pump
supply pressures, pumps having
different supply/locking features, tank
not completely run out of fuel.
