REAR WINDOW WASHER/
WIPER fig. 54
The device can only work when the igni-
tion key is at MAR.
Pushing the stalk towards the dashboard
(unstable position), the rear window
washer jet and the continuous rear win-
dow wiper operation are activated.
Operation ends when the stalk is released.
Turning the knurled ring Afrom
Oto 'the rear window wiper with intermittent
operation is activated.

HEADLIGHT WASHER fig. 55
Fiat Stilo headlight washers are “re-
tractable”, i.e.: they are located inside the
front bumpers and they are activated (with
dipped beam headlights and/or main beam
headlights on) when the windscreen wash-
er is operated.
IMPORTANT Check at regular intervals
correct operation and cleanness of noz-
zles.
fig. 55F0C0270m
Never use the rear window
wiper to remove ice or snow
from the rear window. In these
conditions, the wiper is sub-
mitted to excessive effort that results
in motor protection cutting in and
wiper operation inhibition for few sec-
onds as a consequence. If operation is
not restored contact Fiat Dealership.

DEVICE ENGAGEMENT
Turn knurled ring A-fig. 56to ON.
The device may only be engaged in the 4
th
or 5thgear. Travelling downhill with the
device engaged, the car speed may in-
crease more than the memorised one.
When the device is activated, the warning
light
Üon the instrument panel turns on
together with the message on the display
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).TO MEMORISE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❒turn the knurled ring A-fig. 56to ON
and press the accelerator pedal to the
required speed;
❒turn the knurled ring Bto (+) for at
least three seconds, then release it. The
car speed is memorised and it is there-
fore possible to release the accelerator
pedal.
In the case of need (when overtaking for
instance) acceleration is possible simply
pressing the accelerator pedal: releasing
the accelerator pedal, the car will return
to the speed memorised previously.

CRUISE CONTROL
(constant speed
regulator)
(where provided)
It is a device able to support the driver,
with electronic control, which allows dri-
ving at speed over 30 km/h on long and
straight dry roads (e.g.: motorways), at a
desired speed, without pressing the ac-
celerator pedal. Therefore it is not sug-
gested to use this device on extra-urban
roads with traffic. Do not use it in town.

“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC
POWER STEERING
SYSTEM
The car is provided with the electrically
controlled power steering system called
“Dualdrive” working only with ignition key
at MARand engine running, that can be
customised by the driver according to the
driving conditions.
IMPORTANT When turning quickly the
ignition key, power steering full operation
is obtained after 1-2 seconds.ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
(CITY function)
To connect/disconnect the CITY function,
push the button A-fig. 125located on the
central tunnel on the side of the gearbox
control lever.
Connection of this function is reported by
the word CITY on the “Multifunction dis-
play”.
When the CITY function 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.FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any failure is indicated by warning light
gcoming on (together with the message on
the display) (see section “Warning lights
and messages”).
In the event of electric power steering sys-
tem failure, the car can be driven with me-
chanical steering.
IMPORTANT Under certain circum-
stances, factors independent from the
electric power steering could cause the il-
lumination of the warning light
gon the
instrument panel. We suggest to stop im-
mediately the car, turn off the engine for
about 20 seconds and then re-start the
car. If the warning light
gstays on (to-
gether with the message on the display),
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 electrical power steering sys-
tem will return to normal operation the
next time the car is used.

AT THE FILLING
STATION
PETROL ENGINES
Use only unleaded petrol.
To prevent errors, the diameter of the fu-
el tank filler is too small to introduce a lead
petrol pump filler. Use petrol with a rat-
ed octane number (R.O.N.) not lower
than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalyst leads
to harmful exhaust emissions, thus con-
tributing to air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol,
even in small amount or in an emergency,
as this would damage the catalyst beyond
repair.DIESEL ENGINES
If the outside temperature is very low, the
diesel thickens due to the formation of
paraffins and could clog the diesel fuel filter.
In order to avoid these problems, different
types of diesel are distributed according to
the season: summer type, winter type arc-
tic type (mountains/cold areas).
If refuelling with diesel fuel not suitable for
the current temperature, mix diesel fuel
with TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in the
proportions stated on the can, putting first
the antifreeze in the tank and then the
diesel fuel.
Refuel with local diesel fuel if the car is
used/parked in the mountains or in cold
areas for a long period. In this event you
are recommended to keep an amount of
fuel higher than 50% in the tank.The car must only be filled
with diesel fuel for motor ve-
hicles, in compliance with Eu-
ropean Specification EN590.
The use of other products or mixtures
may irreparably damage the engine
with invalidation of the warranty due
to the damage caused. In the event of
accidentally filling with another type
of fuel, do not start the engine and
empty the tank. If the engine has been
run even for only a very short time, in
addition to the tank, it is also necessary
to drain out the whole fuel circuit.
REFUELLING
To guarantee full tank filling, carry out two
refuelling operations after the first click of
the fuel delivery gun. Avoid further top-
ping up operations that could cause dam-
ages to the fuel system.

SNOW TYRES
Use snow tyres of the same size as the
normal tyres provided with the car.
Fiat Dealership will be glad to provide ad-
vice concerning the most suitable type of
tyre for the customer’s requirements.
For the type of tyre to be used, inflation
pressures and the specifications of snow
tyres, follow the instructions given in para-
graph “Wheels” in section “Technical
specifications”.
The winter features of these tyres are re-
duced considerably when the tread depth
is below 4 mm. In this case, they should
be replaced.Due to the snow tyre features, under nor-
mal conditions of use or on long motor-
way journeys, the performance of these
tyres is lower than that of normal tyres. It
is therefore necessary to limit their use to
the purposes for which they are certified.
IMPORTANT When snow tyres are used
with a max speed index below the one
that can be reached by the car (increased
by 5%), place a notice in the passenger
compartment, plainly in the driver’s view
which states the max permissible speed of
the snow tyres (as per EC Directive).
All four tyres should be the same (brand
and track) to ensure greater safety when
driving and braking and better driveabili-
ty.
Remember that it is inappropriate to
change the direction of rotation of tyres.The max speed for snow
tyres with “Q” marking is
160 km/h; 190 km/h for tyres with “T”
marking and 210 km/h for tyres with
H marking. The Road Traffic Code
speed limits must however be always
strictly observed.

BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using
special products; TUTELA PROFES-
SIONAL SC 35is recommended.
If the rubber blades are bent or worn they
should be replaced. In any case they
should be changed once a year.
A few simple notions can reduce the pos-
sibility of damage to the blades:
❒ if the temperature fall below zero,
make sure that ice has not frozen the
rubber against glass. If necessary, thaw
using an antifreeze product;
❒remove any snow from the glass: in ad-
dition to protecting the blades, this pre-
vents effort on the motor and over-
heating;
❒do not operate the windscreen and
rear window wipers on dry glass.Changing the windscreen
wiper blades
Proceed as follows:
❒raise the windscreen wiper arm A-fig.
22and position the blade so that it
forms an angle of 90° with the arm;
❒press tab Bof the coupling spring and
remove the blade to be replaced from
the arm A;
❒fit the new blade by inserting the tab in-
to the special slot in the arm. Make sure
it is properly locked into place.For certain versions, to replace the blades
proceed as follows:
❒raise the windscreen wiper arm and po-
sition the blade so that it forms an an-
gle of 90° with the arm;
❒press tabs A-fig. 23(set aside the
blade) and remove the blade to be re-
placed from the arm;
❒fit the new blade and check it is prop-
erly locked into place.
Driving with worn wiper
blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
