WINDSCREEN WASHER/WIPER
The device can only work when the igni-
tion key is at MAR.
The stalk can be moved to five different
positions (4 speed levels):
Awindscreen wiper off.
Bintermittent.
Ccontinuous slow.
Dcontinous fast.
Efast temporary (unstable position).
Fast temporary operation is limited to the
time the lever is held in this position.
When the lever is released it returns to

ly. Speed will be resumed automatically
when the car speed exceeds 10 km/h. The
windscreen speed can be changed manu-
ally at any moment.“Smart washing” function
Pulling the stalk towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) operates the
windscreen washer.
Keeping the stalk pulled, with just one
movement, it is possible to operate the
washer jet and the wiper at the same time;
indeed, the latter comes into action au-
tomatically if the stalk is pulled for more
than half a second. The wiper stops work-
ing a few strokes after releasing the stalk;
a further “cleaning stroke”, after a few sec-
onds, completes the wiping operation. “FOLLOW ME HOME” DEVICE
This function allows the illumination of the
space in front of the car.

moved, pull the left-hand stalk towards the
steering wheel and operate it within 2
minutes from when the engine is turned

seconds up to a maximum of 210 seconds,
then the lights are switched off automati-
cally.
Each time the lever is operated, the warn-
ing light 3on the instrument cluster will
come on and the display will show the
time of activation.
The warning light comes on the first time

to excessive effort that results in mo-
tor protection cutting in and wiper op-
eration inhibition for few seconds as a
consequence. If operation is not re-
stored contact Fiat Dealership.
