REAR WINDOW WASHER/WIPER
The device can only work when the ignition key is at MAR.
Turn the knurled ring to
'
to operate the rear window
wiper.
With the windscreen wiper on, turn the knurled ring to
'
to turn on the rear window wiper. In this case the wiper
works (in the different positions) timed with the wind-
screen wiper, but at half speed.
With the windscreen wiper on, engaging reverse gear will
automatically turn the rear window wiper on, in continu-
ous slow operation.
Operation stops by disengaging reverse.
“Smart washing” function
Pushing the stalk towards the dashboard (spring-return
position) will activate the rear window washer.
Keep the stalk pressed, with just one movement, to op-
erate the rear window washer jet and the rear window
wiper itself; the latter automatically turns on if you keep
the stalk pressed for more than half a second.
The rear window wiper stops operating a few strokes af-
ter releasing the stalk; a further “cleaning stroke”, after
a few seconds, completes the wiping operation.
Do not use the rear window wiper to re-
move layers of snow or ice from the wind-
screen. In these conditions, the rear window
wipers may be submitted to excessive effort result-
ing in motor protection cutting in and wiper oper-
ation inhibition for a few seconds. If the operation
is not restored, contact a Fiat Dealership.

The bonnet may drop suddenly if the sup-
porting rod is not positioned properly. This
should only be done when the car is stationary.
WARNING
Before opening the bonnet, check that
windscreen wiper arm is not lifted from
the windscreen.
WARNING
With hot engine, proceed with the utmost
care inside the engine compartment to
avoid burns. Do not place your hands close to the
fan: it might start working also with the ignition
key removed. Wait for engine cooling.
WARNING
BONNETTo open - fig. 79-80-81
Pull the red lever (under the dashboard) in the arrow
direction as shown in the figure.
Lift the lever A.
Lift the bonnet and at the same time release the rod B from
its catch C.
Insert the end of the rod in recess D on the bonnet
and secure it.

clutching is absolutely pointless on modern cars and also
increases consumption and pollution.
Gear selection
As soon as the conditions of the traffic and road allow, use
a higher gear. Using a low gear for faster acceleration will
increase consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high gear increases con-
sumption, emissions an engine wear.
Top speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases with speed.
Avoiding unnecessary braking and acceleration, which cost
in terms of both fuel and emissions.
Acceleration
Accelerating violently increasing the revs will greatly af-
fect consumption and emissions: acceleration should be
gradual.
CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short journeys and frequent cold starts will prevent the en-
gine from reaching optimal running temperature. This re-
sults in a significant increase in consumption levels (from
+15 to +30% on the urban cycle) and emission of harmful
substances. Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount of time needed.
Rear heated window, additional headlights, windscreen
wipers and heater fan need a considerable amount of en-
ergy, therefore a higher requirement of current involves
and increase of fuel consumption (up to +25% in the
urban cycle).
Climate control system
The climate control system is an additional load which
greatly affects the engine leading to higher consumption
(on average up to +20%): when the temperature outside
the car permits it, use the air vents where possible.
Devices for aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified devices for aerodynamic control
may adversely affect air drag and consumption levels.
DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine with the car at a standstill or at
idle or high speed: under these conditions the engine
warms up much more slowly, increasing electrical con-
sumption and emissions. It is therefore advisable to move
off immediately, slowly, avoiding high speeds: in this way
the engine will warm faster.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid accelerating when starting at traffic lights or be-
fore switching off the engine. This and also double de-

CAR INACTIVITYIf the car is to be left inactive for longer than a month,
the following precautions should be followed:❒
park the car in covered, dry and if possible well-venti-
lated premises;
❒
engage one gear;
❒
check that the handbrake is not engaged;
❒
disconnect the negative battery terminal and check bat-
tery charge. Repeat this check once every three months
during storage. Recharge if the optical indicator shows
a dark colour without the central green area;
❒
clean and protect the painted parts using protective
wax;
❒
clean and protect the shiny metal parts using special
compounds readily available;
❒
sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber windscreen and
rear window wiper blades and lift them off the glass;
❒
slightly open the windows;
❒
cover the car with a cloth or perforated plastic sheet.
Do not use sheets of non-perforated plastic as they do
not allow moisture on the car body to evaporate;
❒
inflate tyres to 0.5 bar above the standard specified pres-
sure and check it at intervals;
❒
if you don’t disconnect the battery from the electric sys-
tem, check its charge every month and recharge it if the
optical indicator shows a dark colour without the central
green area;
❒
do not drain the engine cooling system.
SNOW CHAINSThe use of snow chains should be in compliance with lo-
cal regulations.
The snow chains may be applied only onto the front wheel
tyres (drive wheels).
Check the tension of the snow chains after the first few
metres have been driven.
IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fitted to the space-
saver spare wheel. So, if a front (drive) wheel is punctured
and chains are needed, a rear wheel should be fitted to the
front of the car and the space-saving spare wheel should
be fitted to the rear. This way with two normal drive
wheels, snow chains can be fitted to them to solve an
emergency.
Keep your speed down when snow chains
are fitted. Do not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid
potholes, steps and pavements and also
avoid driving long distances on roads not covered
with snow in order to prevent damaging the car and
the roadbed.

Never smoke while working in the engine
compartment: gas and inflammable
vapours may be present, with the risk of fire.
WARNING
Be careful, when topping-up and take care
not to confuse the various types of fluids:
they are all incompatible with one anoth-
er and could seriously damage the car.
