REAR SCREEN WIPER/
REAR SCREEN WASHER fig. 52
This operates only with the ignition turned
to MAR. Operation ceases when the
lever is released.
When the wheel on the lever is turned
from position
Oto position ', the rear
wiper operates as follows:
❒in intermittent mode when the rear
wiper is not in operation;
❒in synchronous mode (at half the rate
of the windscreen wiper) when the
windscreen wiper is working;
❒in continuous mode, with reverse en-
gaged and the control active.HEADLIGHT WASHER fig. 53
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Car headlight washers are “retractable”,
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.
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.
fig. 52F0Q0653m
With the windscreen wiper in operation
and reverse engaged, continuous opera-
tion of the rear screen wiper is also acti-
vated. When the lever is pushed toward
the dashboard (unstable position), the rear
washer jet is also activated. When the
lever is held in this position for longer than
half a second, the rear wiper is also op-
erated. When the lever is released, smart
washing is activated, as for the windscreen
wiper.
