REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER
(for versions/markets where provided)
This operates only with the ignition key turned to MAR.
Activation
Turn the twist switch to
'to operate the rear window
wiper:
❒in intermittent mode 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 lever towards the dashboard (temporary po-
sition) will activate the rear window washer jet. Keeping
the lever pushed for more than half a second will also ac-
tivate the rear window wiper. Releasing the lever will ac-
tivate the smart washing function, as described for the
windscreen wiper.
Deactivation
The function stops when the lever is released.
Do not use the rear window wiper to re-
move layers of snow or ice. In such condi-
tions, the wiper may be subjected to ex-
cessive stress and the motor protection, which pre-
vents operation for a few seconds, may intervene.
If the issue persists, contact the Fiat Service Net-
work.
HEADLIGHT WASHERS
(for versions/markets where provided)
They are activated when the dipped headlamps are on and the
screen washer is activated.
WARNING Check jet function and cleanliness at regular
intervals.
The headlamp washer jet does not function
when the level of fluid in the reservoir falls
below 1.6 litres.

HEAV Y USAGE OF THE VEHICLE
If the vehicle is mostly used in one of the following con-
ditions:
❒trailer or caravan towing;
❒dusty roads;
❒short distances (less than 7-8 km) and with external
temperatures below zero;
❒frequently idling engine or long distance low speed
driving or in the case of long term inactivity;
❒the following checks must be carried out more often
than indicated in the Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒check front disc brake pad conditions and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks and lever
cleanliness and lubrication;
❒visually inspect the conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and tubes (exhaust – fuel
– brakes), rubber parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒check battery charge and liquid level (electrolyte);
❒visual check on various drive belt conditions;
❒check and if necessary change engine oil and oil filter.
❒ check and, if necessary, replace pollen filter.
REGULAR CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and, if nec-
essary, top up:
❒ engine coolant fluid level;
❒ brake fluid level;
❒ windscreen washer level;
❒ tyre pressure and conditions.
❒ operation of lighting system (headlights, direction in-
dicators, hazard lights, etc.);
❒ operation of windscreen washer/wipers system and po-
sitioning/wear of windscreen/rear window wiper blades
(for versions/markets where provided);
Check and top up, if required, the engine oil level every
3,000 km.

RUBBER TUBES
As far as the brake system and fuel rubber hoses are con-
cerned, stick closely to the “Scheduled Servicing Plan” in
this section.
Ozone, high temperatures and a prolonged lack of fluid
in the system may cause hardening and cracking of the
tubes, which could result in leaks. Careful inspections are
therefore necessary.
WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WIPERS
(for versions/markets where provided)
BLADES
Regularly clean the rubber part using appropriate
products; TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is recom-
mended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is deformed or worn.
In any event, it is advisable to replace them approximate-
ly once a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce the possibility of dam-
age to the blades:
❒ make sure that the rubber part is not frozen to the wind-
screen in sub-zero temperatures. Use an antifreeze
product to release it if required;
❒ remove any snow from the glass: in addition to pro-
tecting the blades, this prevents the electric motor from
overheating;
❒ do not operate the windscreen and the rear window
wipers on dry glass.
Driving with worn wiper blades is a serious
hazard, because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
