wiper blades Alfa Romeo 4C 2015 Owner handbook (in English)

Move the stalk upwards (unstable
position) to limit operation to the time
for which the stalk is held manually
in this position. When released, the
stalk will return to its initial position and
the screen wiper will be stopped
automatically.
With ring nut A fig. 23 in
position,
the screen wiper will automatically
adapt its operating speed to the speed
of the car.

function
Pull the stalk towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) to operate the
screen washer. Keeping the stalk pulled
for more than half a second, with just
one movement it is possible to operate
the screen washer jet and the wiper
at the same time.
The wiper stops working three strokes
after the stalk is released. A further
stroke after approximately 6 seconds
completes the cycle.
WARNING
12) Do not use the screen wiper to
remove layers of snow or ice
from the windscreen. In such
conditions, the screen wiper may
be subjected to excessive stress
and the motor cut-out switch,
which prevents operation for
a few seconds, may intervene. If
operation is not subsequently
restored (even after using the key
to restart the engine), contact
the dedicated Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
13) Do not operate the screen wiper
with the blades lifted from the
windscreen.
