WINDOW WASHING
The right stalk fig. 41controls windscreen
wiper/washer and rear window wiper/
washer operation.
WINDSCREEN WASHER/WIPER
This can work only when the key is turned
to MAR.
The twist switch on the right stalk can be
moved to four different positions:
Owindscreen wiper off;
≤intermittent operation;
≥continuous slow operation;
¥continuous fast operation.
Move the stalk to position A(temporary)
to limit operation to the time for which
the stalk is held in this position. When re-
leased, the stalk returns to its default po-
sition, automatically stopping the wiper.Do not use the windscreen
wiper to remove layers of
snow or ice from the wind-
screen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wipers may be subjected to
excessive stress, prompting interven-
tion from the motor protection which
prevents operation for a few seconds.
If operation is not restored, even after
turning the key and restarting the en-
gine, go to a Fiat Dealership.
With the twist switch in position
≤, the
windscreen wiper will automatically adapt
to the speed of the car.IMPORTANT Replace the wiper blades as
specified in the “Car maintenance” sec-
tion.

(temporary position) to operate the wind-
screen washer.
Keeping the stalk pulled for more than half
a second, with just one movement it is
possible to operate the washer jet and the
wiper at the same time.
The wiper stops working three strokes af-
ter releasing the stalk.
A further stroke 6 seconds later com-
pletes the wiping operation.

leased.
Turning the twist switch from Oto
'will
operate the rear window wiper as follows:

tinuous mode when the windscreen wiper
is on and reverse gear is engaged.

On certain versions, to facilitate getting
in/out of the car at night or in poorly-lit ar-
eas, two timed modes have been provided.
TIMING WHEN GETTING INTO THE CAR
The courtesy lights switch on as follows:
❒for about 10 seconds when unlocking
the front doors;
❒for about 3 minutes when opening one
of the side doors;
❒for about 10 seconds when closing the
doors.
The timed period is interrupted when the
ignition is turned to MAR.
TIMING WHEN GETTING OUT OF THE CAR
After removing the key from the ignition,
the courtesy lights switch on as follows:
❒within 2 minutes from turning the en-
gine off for about 10 seconds;
❒when opening one of the side doors for
about 3 minutes;
❒when one of the doors is closed for
a period of about 10 seconds.
The timed period stops automatically
when the doors are locked. CAUTION Before getting out of the car,
make sure both switches are in the cen-
tral position; when the doors are closed,
the lights switch off to prevent the battery
from running down.

manently on’ position, the courtesy light
goes off automatically 15 minutes after the
engine switching off.
