CEILING LIGHT
FRONT CEILING LIGHT fig. 53
The transparent Acan have three posi-
tions:
❒side apressed: light always on
❒side bpressed: light always off
❒central position (neutral): the light turns
on and off automatically when the door
is opened or closed.
IMPORTANT Before getting out of the
car, make sure the switch is at central po-
sition: lights off with doors closed in or-
der to avoid draining the battery.
For “Active” versions, automatic switching
on/off takes place only after opening or
closing the driver’s door. “Smart washing” function
Pushing the stalk towards the dashboard
(unstable position) operates the rear win-
dow wiper.
Keeping the stalk pushed, 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 rear window wiper stops working a
few strokes after releasing the stalk; a fur-
ther “cleaning stroke”, after a few sec-
onds, completes the wiping operation. REAR WINDOW WASHER/
WIPER
The device can only work when the igni-
tion key is at MAR.
Turn the knurled ring to
'to operate the
rear window wiper.
With windscreen wiper on, turning the
knurled ring to ‘ will turn on the rear win-
dow wiper, that in this case will work (in
the different positions) with timing with
the windscreen wiper, but at half speed.
With windscreen wiper on, engaging re-
verse gear will automatically turn the rear
window wiper on, in continuous slow wip-
ing mode.
The rear window wiper will stop when
disengaging reverse.
Never use the rear window
wiper to remove ice or snow
from the rear window. In
these conditions, the wiper is
submitted to excessive effort that re-
sults in motor protection cutting in and
wiper operation inhibition for few sec-
onds as a consequence. If operation is
not restored contact Fiat Dealership.
