FLASHING
Pull the stalk towards the steering
wheel (1st unstable position) fig. 60
regardless of the position of the
ring nut. The
warning light
switches on in the instrument
panel.
AUTOMATIC MAIN
BEAM HEADLIGHTS
In order not to dazzle other road
users, the lights are automatically
deactivated when approaching
vehicles travelling in the opposite
direction or when following a car
travelling in the same direction.
The system is activated with the
menu item and by rotating the light
selector to the AUTO position.When the main beam headlights
are activated for the first time,
pulling the stalk to turn them on
activates the function and the iconis displayed; if the main beam
headlights are actually on, the
relevant blue warning light
is
displayed as well.
If the driving speed is over 40 km/h
and the function is activated, pulling
the stalk again to the main beam
headlight position deactivates
the function.
If the driving speed is below 15
km/h and the function is activated,
the function switches the main
beam headlights off. Pulling the
stalk again to the main beam
headlight position is interpreted as
a request for main beam headlights
constantly on, therefore the blue
warning light
on the panel
switches on and the main beam
headlights are constantly on until
the speed exceeds 40 km/h again.
The function is activated again
automatically when 40 km/h is
exceeded
.If the stalk is pulled again in this
condition, to request main beam
headlight deactivation, the function
remains off and the main beam
headlights switch off.
Rotate the ring nut to the position
fig. 58 to deactivate the
automatic function.

RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets, where

The rain sensor is located behind
the 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.
IMPORTANT Keep the glass in the
sensor area clean.

click (position B).
The activation of the sensor is
signalled by a "stroke" to show that
the command has been acquired.
Turn the control F to increase
the rain sensor sensitivity.
The increasing of the rain sensor
sensitivity is signalled by a "stroke"
to show that the command has
been acquired.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 fig. 64
Move the lever from position B or
turn the ignition key to OFF. The
next time the vehicle is started
(ignition key in ON position), the
sensor is not reactivated even if the
lever is still in position B. To activate
the sensor, move the lever to
position A or C and then back to
position B or turn the ring nut
for adjusting the sensitivity. Rain
sensor activation will be indicated
by at least one wiper “stroke” even
if the windscreen is dry.
The rain sensor is capable of
recognising the difference between
day and night and making the
necessary adjustments
automatically.

HEADLIGHT WASHERS
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
The headlight washers are
“retractable”, i.e.: they are located
inside the front bumper and they
are activated when (with dipped
beams on) the windscreen washer
is operated.
IMPORTANT Check the correct
condition and cleanliness of nozzles
at regular intervals.
IMPORTANT
3) 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,
contact a Fiat Dealership.

FUEL CUT-OFF
SWITCH
The vehicle is fitted with a safety
switch that, in the event of a crash,
comes into operation by cutting
off the fuel supply and turning

cuts off the fuel supply and also
activates the hazard warning lights,
side lights and courtesy lights
while releasing all the doors and
displaying the relevant message;
they are deactivated by pressing
button A. On some versions, there
is also a safety relay that activates
in the event of impact to cut off
the electrical supply. In this way,
fuel is prevented from escaping
if the pipes are broken and the
formation of sparks or electrical
discharges following damage to the
vehicle electrical components is
avoided.

IMPORTANT After an accident,
remember to remove the key from
the ignition device to prevent the
battery from running down. If no
fuel leaks or damage to vehicle's
