WINDOW CLEANINGThe right stalk controls windscreen wiper/washer
and heated rear window wiper/washer operation.
WINDSCREEN WASHER/WIPER
They can be operated only with the ignition key
turned to MAR.
The ring nut A fig. 46 can be moved to four different
positions:
windscreen wiper off.intermittent operation.continuous slow operation.continuous fast operation.Move the stalk upwards (unstable position) to limit
operation to the time for which the stalk is held
in this position. When released, the stalk will return
to its default position and the wiper will be
automatically stopped.
With the ring nut A fig. 46 in position
, the
windscreen wiper will automatically adapt operating
speed to the speed of the car.
With the windscreen wipers operational, if reverse
gear is engaged, the rear window wiper is
automatically activated.
Do not use the windscreen wiper to
remove layers of snow or ice from the
windscreen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wiper may be subjected to excessive
stress and the motor cut-out switch, which
prevents operation for a few seconds, may
intervene. If operation is not restored (even after
turning the key and restarting the car engine),
contact a Fiat Dealership.Do not operate the windscreen wiper with
the blades lifted from the windscreen.

Deactivation
Move the stalk ring nut away from the position
or turn the ignition key to STOP.
If the ignition key is turned to the STOP position
leaving the ring nut A in position
, no wiping
cycle is performed at the next startup (ignition key
to the MAR-ON position) even in case of rain.
This prevents unwanted activation of the rain sensor
when the engine is started (i.e. when the windscreen
is being washed by hand or the wipers are stuck to
the windscreen by ice).
To restore automatic operation of the rain sensor,
turn ring nut A from
position to
position and
then turn the ring nut back to theposition.
When the rain sensor is reactivated using any of the
manoeuvres described above, reactivation is
indicated by a single stroke of the windscreen wipers,
regardless of the condition of the windscreen.
In the event of malfunction of the rain sensor whilst
it is active, the windscreen wiper operates
intermittently at a speed consistent with the
sensitivity setting of the rain sensor, regardless of
whether there is rain on the glass (on some versions
sensor failure is indicated on the display).
The sensor continues to operate and it is possible to
set the windscreen wiper to continuous mode (1
st
or 2
nd
speed). The failure indication remains for
as long as the sensor is active.The rain sensor is able to recognise, and
automatically adjust itself in the presence of the
following conditions:
❒presence of dirt on the controlled surface (salt,
dirt, etc.);
❒presence of streaks of water caused by the worn
window wiper blades;
❒difference between day and night.
Do not activate the rain sensor when
washing the car in an automatic car wash.Make sure the device is switched off if
there is ice on the windscreen.
WARNING
Make sure the device is switched off
whenever the windscreen must be
cleaned.
