REAR WINDOW WASHER/WIPER
fig. 42
This can work only when the key is turned
to MAR.
The function stops when the stalk is re-
leased.
Turning the twist switch from Oto
'will
operate the rear window wiper as follows:
❒intermittent operation if the wind-
screen wiper is off;
❒synchronised operation (but with half-
stroke frequency) when the windscreen
wiper is on;
❒continuous operation with reverse en-
gaged and function on.Do not use the rear window
wiper to remove layers of
snow or ice. In such condi-
tions, the rear window wiper
may be subjected to excessive stress,
prompting intervention from the mo-
tor protection which prevents opera-
tion for a few seconds. If operation is
not restored, even after turning the key
and restarting the engine, go to a Fiat
Dealership.
The rear window wiper will run in con-
tinuous mode when the windscreen wiper
is on and reverse gear is engaged.
Pushing the stalk towards the dashboard
(temporary position) will activate the rear
window washer jet.
Keeping the stalk pushed for more than
half a second will also activate the rear
window wiper.
Smart wash function is activated when the
stalk is released, like for the windscreen
wiper.

Courtesy light timing
On certain versions, to facilitate getting
in/out of the car at night or in poorly-lit ar-
eas, two timed modes have been provided.
TIMING WHEN GETTING INTO THE CAR
The courtesy lights switch on as follows:
❒for about 10 seconds when unlocking
the front doors;
❒for about 3 minutes when opening one
of the side doors;
❒for about 10 seconds when closing the
doors.
The timed period is interrupted when the
ignition is turned to MAR.
TIMING WHEN GETTING OUT OF THE CAR
After removing the key from the ignition,
the courtesy lights switch on as follows:
❒within 2 minutes from turning the en-
gine off for about 10 seconds;
❒when opening one of the side doors for
about 3 minutes;
❒when one of the doors is closed for
a period of about 10 seconds.
The timed period stops automatically
when the doors are locked. CAUTION Before getting out of the car,
make sure both switches are in the cen-
tral position; when the doors are closed,
the lights switch off to prevent the battery
from running down.
In any case, if the switch is left in the ‘per-
manently on’ position, the courtesy light
goes off automatically 15 minutes after the
engine switching off.
