WINDOW WASHING The right stalk fig. 41controls 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:
Owindscreen wiper off;
≤intermittent operation;
≥continuous slow operation;
¥continuous fast operation.

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
