2010 FIAT PUNTO EVO washer jet

“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel (temporary po-
sition) to operate the windscreen 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 after releasing the
stalk. A further stroke 6 seconds later completes the wip-
ing operation.RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets where provided)
The rain sensor is located behind the rear-view mirror in
contact with the windscreen and has the purpose of au-
tomatically adjusting the frequency of the windscreen wiper
strokes depending on the intensity of the rain during in-
termittent operation.
IMPORTANT Keep the glass in the sensor area clean.
Activation
Move the twist switch on the right-hand stalk to
≤fig.
51. The activation of the sensor is signalled by a wiper
stroke. Through the setup menu it is possible to increase
the sensitivity of the rain sensor. The increasing of the rain
sensor sensitivity is also signalled by a stroke of the wipers.
If the windscreen washer is used with the rain sensor ac-
tivated, the normal washing cycle is performed, after which
the rain sensor resumes its normal automatic operation.
Deactivation
Move the stalk twist switch away from
≤fig. 51 or turn
the ignition key to STOP. When the engine is next start-
ed (key at MAR), the sensor will not be reactivated even
if the twist switch is still at
≤fig. 51. To activate the rain
sensor, you have to move the twist switch from
≤to an-
other position and then back to
≤. Rain sensor activa-
tion will be indicated by at least one wiper stroke, even if
the windscreen is dry.

Do not use the windscreen wipers to re-
move layers of snow or ice from the wind-
screen. In such conditions, the windscreen
wipers may be subjected to excessive stress,
prompting intervention from the motor protection
which prevents operation for a few seconds. If op-
eration is not restored, even after turning the key
and restarting the engine, go to a Fiat Dealership.
When released, the stalk returns to its default position and
the wipers automatically switch off.
With the twist switch at
≤, the windscreen wiper will
automatically adapt to the speed of the car.
IMPORTANT Replace the wiper blades as specified in the
“Maintenance and care” section.

Do not use the rear window wiper to re-
move layers of snow or ice. In such condi-
tions, the rear window wiper may be sub-
jected to excessive stress, prompting intervention
from the motor protection which prevents opera-
tion for a few seconds. If operation is not restored,
even after turning the key and restarting the engine,
go to a Fiat Dealership.The rain sensor is able to recognise, and automatically
adjust itself in the presence of, the following particular con-
ditions:
❒impurities on the surface (salt, dirt, etc.);
❒difference between day and night.
IMPORTANT Streaks of water may cause the blades to
move unnecessarily.
REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER
This operates only with the ignition turned to MAR. The
function stops when the stalk is released. Turning the twist
switch from Oto
'will operate the rear window wiper
as follows:
❒intermittent operation if the windscreen wiper is off;
❒synchronised operation (but with half-stroke frequen-
cy) when the windscreen wiper is on;
❒continuous operation with reverse engaged and func-
tion on.
With the windscreen wiper on and reverse gear engaged,
rear window wiping will be continuous.
Pushing the stalk towards the dashboard (temporary po-
sition) will activate the rear window washer jet.
Keeping the stalk pushed for more than half a second will
also activate the rear window wiper.
Releasing the stalk will activate the smart washing function,
as described for the windscreen wiper.

BODYWORK
PROTECTION FROM ATMOSPHERIC
AGENTS
The main causes of corrosion are the following:
❒atmospheric pollution;
❒salty air and humidity (coastal areas or hot and humid
climates);
❒seasonal environmental conditions.
The abrasive action of wind-borne atmospheric dust and
sand, as well as mud and gravel raised by other cars is al-
so not to be underestimated.
Fiat used the best manufacturing technologies on your car
to effectively protect the bodywork against corrosion.
These are the most important:
❒painting products and systems which give the car par-
ticular resistance to corrosion and abrasion;
❒use of galvanised (or pre-treated) steel sheets with high
resistance to corrosion;
❒spraying the underbody, engine compartment, wheel-
house internal parts and other elements with highly pro-
tective wax-based products;
❒spraying protective plastic materials in the most exposed
areas: underdoor, inner mudguard parts, edges, etc.;
❒using “open” boxed sections to prevent condensation
and pockets of moisture from triggering rust inside.
