Cushion adjustment fig. 33
(for versions/markets where provided)
Use the lever D to lift or lower the back of the cushion
to achieve the most comfortable driving position.
The fabric upholstery of your car has been
designed to withstand wear deriving from
common use of the car. You are however
recommended to avoid strong and/or continuous
scratching with clothing accessories such as metal
buckles, studs, Velcro fastenings and the like, as
these items cause stress of the cover fabric that
could lead to yarn breaking and damage the up-
holstery.

to car speed
(for versions/markets where provided)
On some versions, when decelerating until stopping the
car, will the windscreen wiper will slow down automati-
cally. Speed will be resumed automatically when the car
speed exceeds 10 km/h. The windscreen speed can be
changed manually at any time.
“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel (spring-return
position) to operate the windscreen washer.
Keep the stalk pulled, with just one movement, to operate
the washer jet and the windscreen wiper; the latter auto-
matically turns on if you keep the stalk pulled for more than
half a second. The windscreen wiper stops operating a few
strokes after releasing the stalk; a further “cleaning stroke”,
after a few seconds, completes the wiping operation.
Never use the windscreen wipers to remove
layers of snow or ice from the windscreen.
In these conditions, the windscreen wipers
may be submitted to excessive effort resulting in
motor protection cutting in and wiper operation in-
hibition for a few seconds. If the operation is not
restored, contact a Fiat Dealership.
