AND WASHER LEVER
WINDSHIELD WIPERS
To turn the windshield wipers on, move
the lever down to one of the three op-
erating positions. In the “INT” position
(for versions/markets, where provided),
the wipers operate intermittently. The
“INT” position is very convenient for dri-
ving in mist or light rain. In the “LO” po-
sition, the wipers operate at a steady low
speed. In the “HI” position, the wipers op-
erate at a steady high speed. To turn off
the wipers, move the lever back to the
“OFF” position.
Move the lever up and hold it to the
“MIST” position, the windshield wipers
will turn on continuously at low speed.
IMPORTANT Never use the window
wiper to remove ice or snow from the
windscreen. In these conditions, the wiper
is submitted to excessive effort that re-
sults in motor protection cutting in and
wiper operation inhibition for few seconds
as a consequence. If operation is not re-
stored (also after restarting the vehicle by
the ignition key) contact Fiat Dealership.

To prevent windshield icing in
cold weather, turn on the de-
froster to heat the windshield before
and during windshield washer use.
Do not use radiator antifreeze in the
windshield washer reservoir. It can se-
verely impair visibility when sprayed
on the windshield, and can also dam-
age your vehicle’s paint.

IMPORTANT To help prevent damage to
the windshield wiper and washer system
components, you should take the follow-
ing precautions:
❒Do not continue to hold in the lever
when there is no windshield washer flu-
id being sprayed or the washer motor
can be damaged.
❒Do not attempt to remove dirt from a
dry windshield with the wipers or you
can damage the windshield and the
wiper blades. Always wet the wind-
shield with washer fluid before oper-
ating the wipers.
❒Clear ice or packed snow from the
wiper blades before using the wipers.
❒Check the washer fluid level regularly.
Check it often when the weather is bad.
❒Only fill the washer fluid reservoir
3/4 full during cold weather to allow
room for expansion if the temperature
falls low enough to freeze the solution.
