WINDOW WASHING The right stalk fig. 41controls windscreen
wiper/washer and rear window wiper/
washer operation.
WINDSCREEN WASHER/WIPER
This can work only when the key is turned
to MAR.
The twist switch on the right stalk can be
moved to four different positions:
Owindscreen wiper off;
≤intermittent operation;
≥continuous slow operation;
¥continuous fast operation.
Move the stalk to position A(temporary)
to limit operation to the time for which
the stalk is held in this position. When re-
leased, the stalk returns to its default po-
sition, automatically stopping the wiper.Do not use the windscreen
wiper to remove layers of
snow or ice from the wind-
screen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wipers may be subjected to
excessive stress, prompting interven-
tion from the motor protection which
prevents operation for a few seconds.
If operation is not restored, even after
turning the key and restarting the en-
gine, go to a Fiat Dealership.
With the twist switch in position
≤, the
windscreen wiper will automatically adapt
to the speed of the car.IMPORTANT Replace the wiper blades as
specified in the “Car maintenance” sec-
tion. fig. 41
F0M0612m
“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel
(temporary position) to operate the wind-
screen washer.
Keeping the stalk pulled for more than half
a second, with just one movement it is
possible to operate the washer jet and the
wiper at the same time.
The wiper stops working three strokes af-
ter releasing the stalk.
A further stroke 6 seconds later com-
pletes the wiping operation.

REAR WINDOW WASHER/WIPER
fig. 41This 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.
