If the lever is equipped with the “INT
TIME” control, turn the control forward
or rearward to adjust the intermittent
wiper operation to the desired interval.WINDSHIELD WASHER
To spray windshield washer fluid, pull the
lever toward you. The windshield wipers
will automatically turn on at low speed if
they are not already on and the “INT” po-
sition is equipped.
WINDSHIELD WIPER
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
(if equipped), the wipers operate inter-
mittently. The “INT” position is very con-
venient for driving in mist or light rain. In
the “LO” position, the wipers operate at
a steady low speed. In the “HI” position,
the wipers operate 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.

cold weather, turn on the de-
froster to heat the windshield before

windshield washer reservoir. It can se-
verely impair visibility when sprayed
on the windshield, and can also dam-
age your vehicle’s paint.

snow could prevent the wiper blade from
moving, causing damage to the wiper mo-
tor.

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-

❒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.

AIR CLEANER
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there
will be greater intake resistance, result-
ing in decreased power output and in-
creased fuel consumption.
IMPORTANT Damage may result if the
washer motor is operated with no fluid in
the washer tank.

Front and rearWINDSHIELD WASHER
FLUID
Check windscreen washer fluid level in the
tank and if required top up with TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC35 diluted with wa-
ter, if necessary.
Do not use “antifreeze” so-
lution in the windshield
washer reservoir. This can severely
impair visibility when sprayed on the
windshield, and can also damage your
vehicle’s paint.
WARNING
Certain commercial addi-
tives for windscreen washers
are inflammable. The engine com-
partment contains hot components
which may set it on fire.
WARNING
Do not travel with the wind-
screen washer reservoir
empty: the windscreen washer is fun-
damental for improving visibility.
