"Smart washing"
function
Pushing the stalk towards the
dashboard (unstable position) will
activate the rear window washer.
Keep the stalk pressed, with just one
movement, to operate the rear window
washer jet and the rear window wiper
itself; the latter automatically turns on if
you keep the stalk pressed for more
than half a second.
The rear window wiper stops operating
a few strokes after releasing the stalk;
a further "cleaning stroke", after a
few seconds, completes the wiping
operation.
IMPORTANT
3) Do not use the screen wiper to
remove layers of snow or ice
from the windscreen. In such
conditions, the wiper may
be subjected to excessive stress
and the motor protection, which
prevents operation for a few
seconds, may intervene. If
operation is not subsequently
restored, contact an Abarth
Dealership.
4) Do not operate the windscreen
wiper with the blades lifted from
the windscreen.
5) Do not use the rear window wiper
to remove layers of snow or ice. In
these conditions, the rear
window wiper may be subjected
to excessive stress and the motor
protection, which prevents
operation for a few seconds, may
intervene. If operation is not
subsequently restored, contact an
Abarth Dealership.
