WINDOW WASHING
The right stalk fig. 46controls windscreen
wiper/washer operation.
WINDSCREEN WASHER/
WIPER
The device can only work when the igni-
tion key is at MAR.
The stalk ring nut can be moved to four
different positions:
Owindscreen wiper off;
≤intermittent;
≥continuous slow;
¥continuous fast.
Move the lever to position A(unstable)
to limit operation for the time for which
the lever is held in this position. The lever
will return to position and the wiper will
be automatically stopped when released.Do not use the windscreen
wiper to remove layers of
snow or ice from the wind-
screen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wiper may be subjected to
excessive stress and the motor protec-
tion which prevents operation for a few
seconds may trip. If operation is not re-
stored, even after turning the key and
restarting the engine, go to a Fiat Deal-
ership.
With the ring in position
≤the wind-
screen wiper will automatically adapt to
the speed of the car.IMPORTANT Replace wiper blades as

RAIN SENSOR
(where provided)
The rain sensor is located behind the dri-
ving mirror in contact with the windscreen
and has the purpose of automatically ad-
just, 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 knurled ring to
≤fig. 46.
The activation of the rain sensor is sig-
nalled by a control acquisition “stroke”.
Through the set up menu it is possible to
increase the sensitivity of the rain sensor.
The increase of the sensitivity of the rain
sensor is signalled by a control and acqui-
sition “stroke”.
Operating the windscreen washer with
the rain sensor activated the normal wash-
ing cycle is performed at the end of which
the rain sensor resumes its normal auto-
matic function.Deactivation
Change the stalk knurled ring position
from
≤fig. 46or turn the ignition key
to STOP.
At the next start-up (key at MAR), the
sensor will not be reactivated even if the
knurled ring is at
≤fig. 46. To reacti-
vate the sensor, move the ring from po-
sition
≤to any other position and then
return it to position
≤.
Rain sensor activation will be indicated by
at least one wiper “stroke” even if the
windscreen is dry.
The rain sensor is able to recognize and
automatically adjust itself in the presence
of the following particular conditions:
❒presence of dirt on the controlled sur-
face (salt, dirt, etc.);
❒difference between day and night.
IMPORTANT Streaks of water may cause
unnecessary blade moving. “Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel
(unstable position) to operate the wind-
screen 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.
The wiper stops working three strokes af-
ter releasing the stalk.
A further stroke after 6 seconds com-
pletes the wiping operation.

Door unlocking in the event
of a crash
If the fuel cut-off switch trips following an
accident, the doors will be automatically
unlocked to let you leave the car and the
ceiling lights will be switched on at the
same time. The doors can always be
opened from the inside of the car by
means of the specific levers.
Proceed as follows if no fuel leakage is
found and and the car is in condition to be
driven to rearm the fuel cut-off switch.FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH
The car is fitted with a safety switch that
in the event of a crash comes into opera-
tion by cutting off fuel and turning off the
engine as a consequence.
This device therefore prevents fuel leaks
due to fuel piping breaking.
IMPORTANT After the accident, re-
member to remove the electronic key
from the ignition device to prevent drain-
ing the battery.The message “FPS on” will appear on the
digital display when the switch trips. The
message “Inertia switch tripped. See hand-
book” will appear on the multifunctional
display.
If, after a crash, you smell fu-
el or see leaks from the fuel
system, do not reset the switch to
avoid fine risk.
WARNING
If the centralised door lock-
ing system was operated
from inside the car and the fuel cut-
off switch did not manage to auto-
matically release the doors, it will not
be possible to access the passenger
compartment from the outside after
an accident. The possibility of open-
ing the doors from the outside de-
pends on the conditions of the doors
themselves after the accident: if may
not be possible to open a damaged
door. In this case, try to open the oth-
er doors of the car.
