Do not use the windscreen wipers to remove lay-
ers of snow or ice from the windscreen. In such con-
ditions, the windscreen wipers may be subjected to
excessive stress, prompting intervention from the motor
protection which prevents operation for a few seconds. If
operation is not restored, even after turning the key and
restarting the engine, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Ser-
vices.
Do not operate the windscreen wiper with the
blades lifted from the windscreen.
“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel (unstable position) to op-
erate the windscreen washer jet. Keep the stalk pulled for more
than half a second, with just one movement, to operate windscreen
washer/wiper jet at the same time.
The wiper stops working three strokes after the stalk is released.
A further stroke after approximately six seconds completes the wip-
ing cycle.

of above 30 km/h on long and straight dry roads (e.g. motor-
ways), at a preset speed without having to press the accelerator
pedal. It is therefore not recommended to use this device on coun-
try roads with traffic. Do not use it in town.

Turn ring A-fig. 43 to ON. The device cannot be turned on in 1stor
reverse gear. It is advisable to engage it in 5thgear or higher.
When travelling downhill with the device engaged, the car may
slightly exceed the preset speed. When the device is activated,
Ü
light comes on together with the relevant message on the instru-
ment panel (for versions/markets, where provided).
