(e.g. sound system, central door lock-
ing system, etc.) may work.
❒MAR: driving position. All electrical de-
vices may work.
❒AVV: engine starting (unstable posi-
tion).
The ignition switch is fitted with an elec-
tronic safety system that, in the event the
engine is not started, turns back the igni-

The fabric upholstery of your
car is designed to withstand
the normal wear and tear of
your car for a long time. Some
precautions are however needed. Avoid
prolonged rubbing against clothing ac-
cessories, such as metal buckles, Velcro
strips and the like, which by applying a
high pressure on the fabric in a small
area could cause the breakage of some
threads and damage the upholstery.

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.

ABS SYSTEM
If you have never driven a car with ABS be-
fore, it is advisable to perform a few tests
on slippery ground, naturally in conditions
of safety and respecting the Highway Code
of the country where you are driving. Read
the following information carefully.
The car is fitted with an ABS braking sys-
tem, which prevents the wheels from lock-
ing when braking, makes the most of road
grip and gives the best control when emer-
gency braking under difficulty road condi-
tions.
System is completed by EBD (Electronic
Braking force Distribution), which dis-
tributes the braking action between front
and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT Maximum efficiency of the
braking system is obtained after approxi-
mately 500 km (when the car is new or af-
ter replacing the brake pads/discs): during
this time, avoid sudden, repeated and pro-
longed braking.The ABS exploits the tyre-
road grip at the best, but it
cannot improve it; you should there-
fore take every care when driving on
slippery surfaces without taking un-
necessary risks.
WARNING
ABS SYSTEM INTERVENTION
Intervention of the ABS is detected by a
slight pulsing of the brake pedal accompa-
nied by noise: such an event indicates that
you need to adjust your speed to the type
of road on which you are travelling.
When the ABS intervenes it
means that you are ap-
proaching the grip limit between tyres
and road: slow down to exploit all the
available grip.
WARNING
FAILURE INDICATIONS
ABS failure
ABS failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning light
>on the instrument pan-
el together with the dedicated message on
the multifunctional display (where pro-
vided), (see section “Warning lights and
messages”).
In the case, the braking system will work
as normal without the extra potentials of-
fered by the ABS system. Drive carefully
to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the
system checked.
