IGNITION SWITCH
The key can be turned to 3 different positions:
❒STOP: engine off, key can be removed, steering column locked.
Certain electrical devices (e.g.: sound system, power windows…) can
work.
❒MAR: driving position. All electrical devices are powered.
❒AVV: engine starting (unstable position).
The ignition switch is fitted with a safety mechanism that, in the event the
engine is not started, turns back the ignition key to STOP before
repeating the starting operation.
STEERING COLUMN LOCK
Engaging
When the key is to STOP remove the key and turn the steering wheel
until it locks.
Disengaging
Rock the steering wheel slightly as you turn the ignition key to MAR.

“FOLLOW ME HOME” DEVICE
This function allows the illumination of the space in front of the car for a
preset time.
Activation
With the ignition key at STOP or removed, pull the stalk towards the
steering wheel and operate it within 2 minutes from when the engine is
turned off.
At each single movement of the stalk, the staying on of the lights is
extended by 30 seconds up to a maximum of 210 seconds; then the lights
are switched off automatically.
Each time the lever is operated, the 3warning light turns on together
with the message on the display (see section “Warning lights and

“Smart washing” function
Pulling the stalk towards the steering wheel (unstable position) operates
the windscreen washer.
Keeping the stalk pulled for over half a second, with just one movement
it is possible to operate the washer jet and the wiper at the same time.
Releasing the stalk will stop the washer jet immediately whereas the
wiper stops working four strokes later.
A further “cleaning stroke” after five seconds, completes the wiping
operation.
RAIN SENSOR (where provided)
The rain sensor (A) is located behind the driving mirror in contact with
the windscreen and has the purpose of automatically adjust, during the
intermittent operation, the frequency of the windscreen wiper strokes as
to the rain intensity.
IMPORTANT Keep clean the glass in the sensor area.
Activation
Move the right-hand stalk downwards by one position.
The activation of the rain sensor is signalled by a control acquisition
“stroke”.

ABS SYSTEM
If this is the first car with ABS you drive, get familiar
with it by some preliminary “driving tests” on poor
grip roadbeds, obviously under safety conditions and in
compliance with the traffic regulations of the Country
you are driving in. Read carefully the following
instructions.
The car is fitted with an ABS braking system, which
prevents the wheels from locking when braking, makes
the most of road grip and gives the best control when
emergency braking under difficult road conditions.
System is completed by EBD (Electronic Braking Force
Distribution), which distributes the braking action
between front and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To have the maximum efficiency of the
braking system, it is necessary a setting period of
about 500 km: during this period it is better to avoid
sharp, repeated and prolonged brakes.ABS INTERVENTION
The driver can tell 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 fit the type of road surface.
If the ABS system cuts in, it is a sign that the grip
between tyre and the road surface has reached the
limit: you must slow down to match the speed to the
road grip available.
FAILURE WARNINGS
ABS failure
If there is a fault, the instrument panel warning light
>
will come on together with the message (where
provided) on the reconfigurable multifunction display
(see the “Warning lights” chapter).
In this case the braking system is still efficient, though
without the aid of the ABS system. Drive carefully to
the closest Fiat Dealership to have the system
checked.
If the ABS system cuts in, it is a sign that the grip between tyre and the road
surface has reached the limit: you must slow down to match the speed to the road
grip available.WARNING
The ABS exploits the tyre-road grip at the best, but it cannot improve it; you
should therefore take every care when driving on slippery surfaces without taking
unnecessary risks.WARNING

EBD failure
It is signalled by lighting up of instrument panel
warning lights
>and xtogether with the message
(where provided) on the reconfigurable multifunction
display (see the “Warning lights” chapter).In this case with sharp braking the rear wheels might
lock too early, with the possibility of skidding. Drive
extremely carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to
have the system checked.
WARNINGIf brake fluid low warning light xlights up on the instrument panel (together, where
provided, with the message on the reconfigurable multifunction display), stop
immediately the car and contact the closest Fiat Dealership. Fluid leaks from the
hydraulic system, in fact, can compromise the braking system, both traditional
systems and systems with ABS.
When the ABS cuts in, and you feel the brake pedal pulsating, do not remove your
foot, but keep it pressed; in doing so you will stop in the shortest amount of space
possible under the current road conditions.WARNING
