REAR WINDOW WASHER/WIPER
fig. 38
The device can only work when the igni-
tion key is at MAR.
Operation will stop when releasing the
stalk.
Turning the knurled ring from Oto
'will
operate the rear window wiper as follows:
❒intermittent operation if the wind-
screen wiper is off;
❒synchronised with the windscreen
wiper (but with half stroke frequency);
❒continuous operation with reverse en-
gaged and windscreen wiper on.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 seconds as
a consequence. If operation is not re-
stored contact Abarth Dealership.
With windscreen wiper on and reverse
gear engaged, rear window wiping will be
continuous.
Pushing the stalk towards the dashboard
(unstable position) will activate the rear
window washer.
Keeping the stalk pushed for over half a
second will activate also the rear window
wiper.
Releasing the stalk will activate the smart
washing function as described for the
windscreen wiper.
