WINDOW WASHING
The right stalk fig. 52controls windscreen
wiper/washer and heated rear window
wiper/washer operation.
WINDSCREEN WASHER/WIPER
The device can only work when the igni-
tion key is at MAR.
The stalk can be moved to five different
positions (4 speed levels):
Awindscreen wiper off.
Bintermittent.
Ccontinuous slow.
Dcontinous fast.
Efast temporary (unstable position).
Fast temporary operation is limited to the
time the lever is held in this position.
When the lever is released it returns to
position Aautomatically stopping the
wiper.
Windscreen wiper slowing down
according to car speed
(where provided)
On certain versions, when decelerating
until stopping the car will make the wind-
screen wiper to slow down automatical-
ly. Speed will be resumed automatically
when the car speed exceeds 10 km/h. The
windscreen speed can be changed manu-
ally at any moment.“Smart washing” function
Pulling the stalk towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) operates the
windscreen washer.
Keeping the stalk pulled, with just one
movement, it is possible to operate the
washer jet and the wiper at the same time;
indeed, the latter comes into action au-
tomatically if the stalk is pulled for more
than half a second. The wiper stops work-
ing a few strokes after releasing the stalk;
a further “cleaning stroke”, after a few sec-
onds, completes the wiping operation. “FOLLOW ME HOME” DEVICE
This function allows the illumination of the
space in front of the car.
Activation
With the ignition key atSTOPor re-
moved, pull the left-hand 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 automati-
cally.
Each time the lever is operated, the warn-
ing light 3on the instrument cluster will
come on and the display will show the
time of activation.
The warning light comes on the first time
the lever is operated and will stay on up
to automatic function deactivation. Each
operation of the lever will extend lights
switching on time.
Deactivation
Keep the stalk pulled towards the steer-
ing wheel for more than 2 seconds.

F0G0127mfig. 52
Never use the window wiper
to remove ice or snow from
the windscreen. In these con-
ditions, the wiper is submitted
to excessive effort that results in mo-
tor protection cutting in and wiper op-
eration inhibition for few seconds as a
consequence. If operation is not re-
stored contact Fiat Dealership.

FAILURE INDICATIONS fig. 94
Any failure is indicated by instrument pan-
el warning light
gcoming on together
with the message on the reconfigurable
multifunction display (where provided),
see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).
In the event of electric power steering sys-
tem failure, the car can be driven with me-
chanical steering.
IMPORTANT In some circumstances, fac-
tors independent from the electric pow-
er steering could cause the illumination of
the warning light
gon the instrument
panel. ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
CITY FUNCTION fig. 92 and 93
To connect/disconnect the CITY function,
press button A.
Connection of this function is signalled by
CITYwarning light coming on.
When the CITYfunction is on, the steer-
ing wheel effort is lighter and thus parking
operations are easier: therefore this func-
tion is particularly useful for driving in city
centres.

PARKING SENSORS
(where provided)
Parking sensors are located in the rear
bumper fig. 95and their function is to in-
form the driver, through an intermittent
buzzer, about the presence of obstacles
behind the car.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated
when the reverse gear is engaged.
The sound produced by the acoustic alarm
becomes louder when the distance be-
tween the car and the obstacle decreases.
BUZZER WARNINGS
When the reverse gear is engaged an in-
termittent acoustic signal is automatically
activated (short beep indicating that sen-
sors are active).
The acoustic signal:
❒ becomes louder as the reduction of dis-
tance between the car and the obsta-
cle decreases;
❒ becomes continuous when the distance
between the car and the obstacle is less
that 30 cm and stops if the distance rais-
es;
❒is constant if the distance is unvaried.Direction distances
Central action radius 120 cm
Side action radius 60 cm
If several obstacles are detected, the con-
trol unit indicates the nearest one. We suggest to stop immediately the car,
turn off the engine for about 20 seconds
and then re-start the car. If the warning
light
gstays on together with the mes-
sage on the reconfigurable multifunction
display (where provided), contact Fiat
Dealership.
IMPORTANT The steering may become
slightly stiff following parking manoeuvres
including a great deal of steering. This is
normal and caused by a system to prevent
motor overheating. No servicing is re-
quired. The electric power steering sys-
tem will return to normal operation the
next time the car is used.
fig. 95F0G0692m
Always switch the engine off,
remove the key from the
starting device and actuate the steer-
ing lock before carrying out any main-
tenance operation, especially when
the wheels are raised from the
ground. In case this is not possible
(e.g. when the key must be in MAR
position or the engine running); re-
move the electric power steering
main fuse before carrying out any
maintenance operation.

The driver’s and passenger’s front Air bags
have been designed and calibrated to im-
prove the protection of a person wear-
ing seat belts.
At their maximum inflation, their volume
fills most of the space between the dash-
board and the passenger.
In minor side crashes (for which the re-
straining action of the seat belts is suffi-
cient), the air bags are not deployed. Al-
so in this case it is of vital importance to
wear the seat belts since in case of side
crash they guarantee proper positioning
of the occupant. DRIVER’S FRONT AIR BAG fig. 16
It consists of an instant-inflating cushion
contained in a special recess in the cen-
tre of the steering wheel. Front air bag may not be activated in the
following situations:
❒in collisions against highly deformable
objects not affecting the car front sur-
face (e.g. bumper collision against guard
rail);
❒car wedging under other vehicles or
protective barriers (for example under
a truck or guard rail);
as it offers no additional protection com-
pared with the seat belts, consequently,
it would be pointless. Therefore, failure to
come into action in the above circum-
stances does not mean that the system is
not working properly.

F0G0693m
Do not apply stickers or oth-
er objects to the steering
wheel or to the air bag cover on the
passenger’s side or on the side roof
lining. Never put objects (e.g. mobile
phones) on the dashboard on pas-
senger side since they could interfere
with proper passenger air bag infla-
tion and also cause serious injury.
