Fabric upholstery of your car
is purpose-made to withstand
common wear resulting from
normal use of the car. It is
however absolutely necessary to pre-
vent hard and/or prolonged scratch-
ing/scraping caused by clothing acces-
sories like metallic buckles, studs, “Vel-
cro” fixings, etc. that stressing locally
the fabric could break yarns and dam-
age the upholstery as a consequence.
Only make adjustments when
the car is stationary.
Once you have released the
lever, check that the seat is
firmly locked in the runners by
trying to move it back and
forth. Failure to lock the seat in place
could result in the seat moving sud-
denly and the driver losing control of
the car.Tilting the back rest
(3-door versions)
To gain access to the rear seats, pull the
handle Eupwards, the back rest folds and
the seat is free to run forwards. When re-
setting the back rest, the seat returns to
its original position (mechanical memory).
SEATS

wards: in driving position the arms should
rest on the rim of the steering wheel.

ried out only seated in the driver’s seat.

“Smart washing” function fig. 52
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 working a few strokes af-
ter releasing the stalk; a further “cleaning
stroke”, after a few seconds, completes
the wiping operation.RAIN SENSOR (where provided)
The rain sensor A-fig. 53is behind the
driving mirror in contact with the wind-
screen and has the purpose of automati-
cally adjust, during the intermittent oper-
ation, the frequency of the windscreen
wiper strokes as to the rain intensity.
The sensor has a range of adjustment that
gradually varies between wiper stationary
(no wiping) when the windscreen is dry,
to wiper at first continuous speed (con-
tinuous slow) with heavy rain.Activation
Move the right-hand stalk downwards by
one position.
The activation of the rain sensor is sig-
nalled by a control acquisition “stroke”.
IMPORTANT Keep clean the glass in the
sensor area.
Turning the knurled ring F-fig. 51it is
possible to increase the sensitivity of the
rain sensor, obtaining a quicker change
from stationary (no wiping) when the
windscreen is dry, to first continuous
speed (continuous slow).
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.

HEADLIGHTS
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHT
BEAM
Proper adjustment of the headlight beams
is of vital importance for your safety and
comfort and also for the other road users.
To ensure you and other drivers have the
best visibility conditions when travelling
with the headlights on, the headlights must
be set properly. Contact Fiat Dealership
to have the headlights properly adjusted.
IMPORTANT When turning on gas dis-
charge headlight lamps (where provided),
it is normal that there should be a vertical
movement of lenses, and consequently the
same will also happen to the light beam,
for the time required to achieve the cor-
rect headlight trim stabilisation, equal to
approx. 2 seconds.HEADLIGHT AIMING DEVICE
This device can be operated with the ig-
nition key at MARand dipped beams on.
When the car is loaded, it slopes back-
wards. This means that the headlight beam
rises. In this case, it is necessary to return
it to the correct position.
To adjust the headlight slant
Press button A-fig. 122located on the
mask aside the steering wheel column; if
the car is fitted with gas discharge head-
lights (xenon), slant adjustment is elec-
tronic and therefore button Ais not pre-
sent.Press button Aat arrow
Nthis will in-
crease by one position, press the arrow
Oon the button, this will lower by one
position.
The display B-fig. 122located on the in-
strument panel, provides the visual indi-
cation of the positions during the adjust-
ment operation.
Correct positions as a function
of the load
Position 0- one or two passengers on
front seats.
Position 1- five passengers.
Position 2- five passengers + load in the
boot.
Position 3- driver + maximum admitted
load in the boot.
IMPORTANT Check beam aiming every
time the load carried changes.
