GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
IMPORTANT Because heavy ice and
snow can jam the wiper blades, the
wiper motor is protected from motor
breakdown, overheating and possible
fire by a circuit breaker. This
mechanism will automatically stop
operation of the blades, but only for
about 5 minutes. If this happens, turn
off the wiper switch and park off the
right-of-way, and remove the snow and
ice. After 5 minutes, turn on the switch
and the blades should operate
normally. If they do not resume
functioning, contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible. Drive to the side of
the road and park off the right-of-way.
Wait until the weather clears before
trying to drive with the wipers
inoperative.
WINDSCREEN WASHER
Pull the lever toward you and hold it to
spray washer fluid.
With the wiper lever in theOFFor
intermittent position/AUTOposition,
the wipers will operate continuously
until the lever is released.
If the washer does not work, inspect
the fluid level. If the fluid level is normal,
contact a Fiat Dealership.With headlight washers
When the headlights are on, the
headlight washers operate
automatically once every fifth time the
windshield washer operates.
HEADLIGHT WASHER(where provided)
The ignition must be switched ON and
the headlights must be turned on.
The headlight washers fig. 23 operate
automatically once every fifth time the
windshield washer operates. If you
want to operate headlight washers,
double flick the wiper lever.
WARNING
42)Use only windshield washer fluid or
plain water in the reservoir. Using radiator
antifreeze as washer fluid is dangerous. If
sprayed on the windshield, it will dirty the
windshield, affect your visibility, and could
result in an accident.
43)Only use windshield washer fluid mixed
with anti-freeze protection in freezing
weather conditions. Using windshield
washer fluid without antifreeze protection in
freezing weather conditions is dangerous
as it could freeze on the windshield and
block your vision which could cause an
accident. In addition, make sure the
windshield is sufficiently warmed using the
defroster before spraying the washer fluid.
44)Make sure the device is switched off
whenever the windscreen must be
cleaned.
