2013 Lancia Thema washer fluid

CAUTION!(Continued)
 Always remove any buildup of snow that prevents the wind-
shield wiper blades from return-
ing to the off position. If the wind-
shield wiper control is turned off
and the blades cannot return to
the off position, damage to the
wiper motor may occur.
INTERMITTENT WIPER
SYSTEM
Use the intermittent wiper when
weather conditions make a single
wiping cycle with a variable pause
between cycles desirable. Rotate the
end of the multifunction lever to the
first detent position, and then turn the
end of the lever to select the desired
delay interval. There are four delay
settings, which allow you to regulate
the wipe interval from a minimum of
one cycle every second to a maximum
of approximately 18 seconds between
cycles. The delay intervals will double
in duration when the vehicle speed is
16 km/h or less. MIST FEATURE
Rotate the end of the lever downward
to the Mist position to activate a single
wipe cycle to clear off road mist or
spray from a passing vehicle. The
wipers will continue to operate until
you release the multifunction lever.
NOTE: The mist feature does not
activate the washer pump; there-
fore, no washer fluid will be
sprayed on the windshield. The
wash function must be used in
order to spray the windshield with
washer fluid.
WINDSHIELD WASHERS
To use the washer, push the multi-
function lever inward (toward the
steering column) and hold it for as
long as washer spray is desired.
If you activate the washer while the
windshield wiper control is in the
delay range, the wipers will operate
for two wipe cycles after releasing the
lever and then resume the intermit-
tent interval previously selected.
If you activate the washer while the
windshield wiper is turned off, the
wipers will operate for three wipe
cycles and then turn off.
WARNING!Sudden loss of visibility through the
windshield could lead to a collision.
You might not see other vehicles or
other obstacles. To avoid sudden ic-
ing of the windshield during freez-
ing weather, warm the windshield
with the defroster before and during
windshield washer use.RAIN SENSING WIPERS
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
This feature senses moisture on the
windshield and automatically acti-
vates the wipers for the driver. The
feature is especially useful for road
splash or over spray from the wind-
shield washers of the vehicle ahead.
Rotate the end of the multifunction
lever to one of four settings to activate
this feature.

The sensitivity of the system can be
adjusted with the multifunction lever.
Wiper delay position 1 is the least sen-
sitive, and wiper delay position 4 is the
most sensitive. Setting 3 should be used
for normal rain conditions. Settings 1
and 2 can be used if the driver desires
less wiper sensitivity. Settings 4 can be
used if the driver desires more sensitiv-
ity. The rain sense wipers will auto-
matically change between an intermit-
tent wipe, slow wipe and a fast wipe
depending on the amount of moisture
that is sensed on the windshield. Place
the wiper switch in the OFF position
when not using the system.The Rain Sensing feature can be
turned on and off using the Uconnect
Touch™ System, refer to “Uconnect
Touch™ Settings” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
NOTE:
The Rain Sensing feature will not
operate when the wiper speed is
in the low or high position.
 The Rain Sensing feature maynot function properly when ice
or dried salt water is present on
the windshield.
 The use of products containing wax or silicone may reduce rain
sensor performance.
The Rain Sensing system has protec-
tive features for the wiper blades and
arms. It will not operate under the
following conditions:
 Low Temperature Wipe Inhibit
— The Rain Sensing feature will
not operate when the ignition is
placed in the RUN position, the ve-
hicle is stationary and the outside
temperature is below 0°C, unless
the wiper control on the multifunc-
tion lever is moved, the vehicle
speed becomes greater than 0 km/h
or the outside temperature rises
above freezing.
 Neutral Wipe Inhibit — The Rain
Sensing feature will not operate
when the ignition is placed in the
RUN position, the transmission
shift lever is in the NEUTRAL po-
sition and the vehicle speed is less than 8 km/h, unless the wiper con-
trol on the multifunction lever is
moved or the shift lever is moved
out of the NEUTRAL position.
HEADLIGHT WASHERS
The multifunction lever operates the
headlight washers when the ignition
switch is in the ON position and the
headlights are turned on. The multi-
function lever is located on the left
side of the steering column.
To use the headlight washers, push
the multifunction lever inward (to-
ward the steering column) to the sec-
ond detent and release it. The head-
light washers will spray a timed high-
pressure spray of washer fluid onto
each headlight lens. In addition, the
windshield washers will spray the
windshield and the windshield wipers
will cycle.
NOTE: After turning the ignition
switch and headlights ON, the
headlight washers will operate on
the first spray of the windshield
washer and then every eleventh
spray after that.

WINDSHIELD WIPER
BLADES
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper
blades and the windshield periodi-
cally with a sponge or soft cloth and a
mild nonabrasive cleaner. This will
remove accumulations of salt or road
film.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass
for long periods may cause deteriora-
tion of the wiper blades. Always use
washer fluid when using the wipers to
remove salt or dirt from a dry wind-
shield.
Avoid using the wiper blades to re-
move frost or ice from the windshield.
Keep the blade rubber out of contact
with petroleum products such as en-
gine oil, gasoline, etc.
NOTE: Life expectancy of wiper
blades varies depending on geo-
graphical area and frequency of
use. Poor performance of blades
may be present with chattering,
marks, water lines or wet spots. If
any of these conditions are pres-
ent, clean the wiper blades or re-
place as necessary.ADDING WASHER FLUID
The windshield washer and the head-
light washer share the same fluid res-
ervoir. The fluid reservoir is located in
the front of the engine compartment.
Be sure to check the fluid level in the
reservoir at regular intervals. Fill the
reservoir with windshield washer
solvent (not radiator antifreeze) and
operate the system for a few seconds
to flush out the residual water.
When refilling the washer fluid reser-
voir, apply some washer fluid to a
cloth or towel and wipe the wiper
blades clean. This will help blade per-
formance.
To prevent freeze-up of your wind-
shield washer system in cold weather,
select a solution or mixture that meets
or exceeds the temperature range of
your climate. This rating information
can be found on most washer fluid
containers.
The fluid reservoir will hold nearly
4 Liters of washer fluid when the mes-
sage “Low Washer Fluid” appears in
the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC).
WARNING!Commercially available windshield
washer solvents are flammable. They
could ignite and burn you. Care must
be exercised when filling or working
around the washer solution.CAUTION!
Car maintenance should be done at
a LANCIA Dealership. For routine
and minor maintenance operations
you wish to carry out yourself, we
do recommend you have the proper
equipment, genuine LANCIA spare
parts and the necessary fluids; do
not however carry out these opera-
tions if you have no experience.
