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.
64)Streaks of water may cause
unnecessary blade movements.
65)If the washer is used in cold weather,
the washer fluid sprayed against the glass

Cargo loads precautions
When loading luggage, be careful to the
following.
Stow cargo and luggage in the cargo
area whenever possible.
Distribute cargo or luggage evenly so
that it is not unbalanced.
Do not place cargo or luggage on
the instrument panel. Also, do not stack
up cargo or luggage on the front
passenger’s seat or the rear seat.
Having the driver’s vision blocked, and
your cargo being thrown inside the
cabin if you suddenly have to brake can
cause a serious accident or injury.
Loading a roof carrier
32) 33)
NOTE We recommend you to use a
FCA GENUINE roof carrier, since the
brackets to be used have a special
shape. For details, we recommend you
to consult an Authorised Fiat
Dealership.
Roof carrier precaution
34) 35)
NOTE To prevent wind noise or
reduction in fuel economy, remove the
roof carrier when not in use.NOTE Remove the roof carrier before
using an automatic car wash.
HIGH-LOAD SYSTEM,
PROTRUDING LOADS
Check that the load is distributed evenly
on the flatbed and that the rear side
panel is correctly closed, so that the
load, or part of it, cannot fall onto the
road surface.
Some simple suggestions can improve
driving safety, comfort and vehicle
duration:
distribute the load evenly over the
platform: if it must be concentrated it in
a single area, choose an area mid-way
between both axles;
remember that the dynamic
behaviour of the vehicle is affected by
the transported weight: in particular, the
stopping distances are longer,
especially at high speed.
Bumpy roads and heavy braking may
cause unexpected load shifting with
consequently hazardous situations:
before setting off, secure the load tightly
using the partition and appropriate
hooks, steel cables, ropes or chains
strong enough to hold the items to be
secured.
