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.

To prevent windshield icing in
cold weather, turn on the de-
froster to heat the windshield before
and during windshield washer use.

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

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

❒Check the washer fluid level regularly.
Check it often when the weather is bad.
❒Only fill the washer fluid reservoir

room for expansion if the temperature
falls low enough to freeze the solution.
