WINDOW WASHING
The right stalk fig. 41 controls 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:
O windscreen 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.
fig. 41F0M0612m
“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel
(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.

REAR WINDOW WASHER/WIPER
fig. 41
This can work only when the key is turned
to MAR.
The function stops when the stalk is re-
leased.
Turning the twist switch from Oto
'will
operate the rear window wiper as follows:
❒intermittent operation if the wind-
screen wiper is off;
❒synchronised operation (but with half-
stroke frequency) when the windscreen
wiper is on;
❒continuous operation with reverse en-
gaged and function on. Do not use the rear window
wiper to remove layers of
snow or ice. In such condi-
tions, the rear window wiper
may be subjected to excessive stress,
prompting intervention from the mo-
tor 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 rear window wiper will run in con-
tinuous mode when the windscreen wiper
is on and reverse gear is engaged.
Pushing the stalk towards the dashboard
(temporary position) will activate the rear
window washer jet.
Keeping the stalk pushed for more than
half a second will also activate the rear
window wiper.
Smart wash function is activated when the
stalk is released, like for the windscreen
wiper.

RESTARTING CONDITIONS
For reasons of comfort, limiting harmful
emissions and safety purposes, the power
unit can restart automatically without any
action on behalf of the driver if certain
conditions are met, including:
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒windscreen wipers working at maxi-
mum speed;
❒extreme braking system pressure, e.g.
following the brake pedal being pressed
repeatedly;
❒car moving around, for example when
driving on hilly roads;
❒stopping the engine through the
Start&Stop system for more than about
three minutes.
❒automatic climate control system for
establishing a comfortable temperature
or enabling the MAX – DEF function.
With a gear engaged, the engine can be au-
tomatically restarted only by fully de-
pressing the clutch pedal. The driver is
asked to perform this operation through
a message on the instrument panel and,
for versions/markets, where provided, by
the warning light fig. 99 on the instrument
panel flashing
NB If the clutch is not pressed, when the
three minutes have elapsed since the en-
gine was stopped, the engine can be
restarted only by using the key. NB
In cases when the engine stops and
this is not desired, due for example to the
clutch pedal being released sharply with
a gear engaged, if the Start&Stop system
is activated, the engine can be restarted by
fully depressing the clutch pedal or by
putting the gear lever into neutral.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
In engine cut-out conditions through the
Start&Stop system, if the driver unfastens
his/her seat belt and opens the driver’s
door or the passenger door, the engine
can be restarted only by using the key.
The driver is notified of this condition
both by a buzzer and through an infor-
mation message on the display and (for
versions/markets, where provided) by the
warning light fig. 99 on the instrument
panel flashing. ENERGY SAVING FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If, after the engine has been automatical-
ly restarted, the driver does not take any
action for a period of about 3 minutes, the
Start&Stop system will definitively stop the
engine to avoid fuel consumption. In these
cases, the engine can be restarted only by
using the key.
NB
In any case, it is possible to keep
the engine running by deactivating the
Start&Stop system.
OPERATING IRREGULARITIES
In the case of malfunctions the Start&Stop
system is disabled. The driver is informed
of the problem by the general failure
warning light A-fig. 102, for versions/
markets, where provided, coming on with
an information message and the system
failure symbol B on the control panel. In
this case, contact a Fiat Dealership.
