2018 FIAT 500X wiper fluid

Move the stalk upwards (unstable
position) to activate the MIST
function: operation is limited to the
time for which the stalk is held in this
position. When released, the stalk will
return to its default position and the
windscreen wiper automatically stop.
IMPORTANT This function does not
activate the windscreen washer;
windscreen washer fluid will not
therefore be sprayed onto the
windscreen. To spray windscreen
washer fluid onto the windscreen, the
washing function must be used. With
the ring nut A fig. 33 in position
, the
windscreen wiper is not activated. In
position
, the pause time between
the strokes of the windscreen wiper is
10 seconds, independently of the
vehicle speed. In position
, the pause
time between two strokes is set
according to the vehicle speed: when
the speed increases, the time between
two strokes decreases. In position LO
or HI, the windscreen wiper moves
continuously, i.e. without a pause
between two strokes.
“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) to operate the
windscreen washer.
When the stalk is held pulled for longer
than half a second, the windscreen wiper moves with active control.
Releasing the stalk will activate three
strokes.
With the ring nut A fig. 33 turned to
position
LOorHI, the smart washing
function is not carried out.
IMPORTANT If the stalk is activated for
less than half a second, only the
windscreen washer jet is activated. Do
not prolong the activation of the "Smart
Washing" function for more than
30 seconds. Do not activate the
windscreen washer control when the
reservoir is empty.
RAIN SENSOR
(where provided)
9) 10)
This is located behind the interior rear
view mirror fig. 34, in contact with the
windscreen and can measure the
amount of rain and, consequently,
manage the automatic wiping mode of
the windscreen in accordance with the
amount of water on the screen.
The rain sensor will be activated when
the ignition device is turned to MAR. If
no rain is detected, the wiper will not
carry out any strokes. If it is raining, the
windscreen wiper moves according to
the amount of rain measured by the
sensor. The device is able to recognise, and
automatically adjust itself in the
presence of the following conditions:
presence of dirt on the surface (e.g.
salt, dirt, etc.);
presence of streaks of water caused
by the worn window wiper blades;
difference between day and night.
The rain sensor will be deactivated only
when the ignition device is turned to
STOP.
IMPORTANT Keep the glass in the
sensor area clean.
AUTOMATIC WIPING
Activation
The automatic wiping can be chosen by
selecting the rain sensor from the
display Menu or on the Uconnect™
system and rotating the ring nut A
fig. 33 to position

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

WINDSCREEN / REAR
WINDOW WIPERS
Raising the windscreen wipers
If you need to lift the windscreen wiper
blades (e.g. in case of snow or when
they need to be replaced), you need to
activate the "Service Position" function
(see paragraph "Windscreen/Rear
window wiper" in the "Knowing your
vehicle" chapter).
To lower the blades, set the ignition
device to MAR-ON.
IMPORTANT Place the blades back in
contact with the windscreen before
activating the windscreen wiper again
and/or setting the ignition device to
MAR-ON.
Replacing the windscreen wiper
blades
Proceed as follows:
raise the wiper arm, press button A
fig. 171 of the attachment spring and
remove the blade from the arm;
fit the new blade, inserting the tab in
the dedicated housing in the arm and
checking that it is locked;
lower the wiper arm on the
windscreen.
IMPORTANT Do not operate the
windscreen wiper with the blades lifted
from the windscreen.
Replacing the rear window wiper
blade
Proceed as follows:
widen the two tabs as shown by the
arrows and rotate cover A
fig. 172 outwards;
undo nut B and remove arm C from
the central pin;
correctly align the new arm;
fully tighten nut B and then refit
cover A.
IMPORTANT Do not operate the rear
window wiper with the blade lifted from
the rear window.
NOZZLES
Windscreen washer
The window washer nozzles are fixed. If
there is no jet of fluid, firstly check that
there is fluid in the reservoir (see
paragraph “Engine compartment” in
this chapter). Then check that the
nozzle holes are not clogged; use a
needle to unblock them if necessary.
IMPORTANT In versions with sun roof,
make sure that the roof is closed before
operating the windscreen washer
nozzles.
Rear window washer
The rear window washer nozzle is fixed.
The jet nozzle is located at the side of
the third brake light.

Engine compartment
At the end of every winter, wash the
engine compartment thoroughly, taking
care not to aim the jet of water directly
at the electronic control units or at the
windscreen/rear window wiper motors.
Have this operation performed at a
specialised workshop.
IMPORTANT The washing should take
place with the engine cold and the
ignition device in the STOP position.
After the washing operation, make sure
that the various protections (e.g. rubber
caps and guards) have not been
removed or damaged.
IMPORTANT
101)In order to preserve the aesthetic
appearance of the paint abrasive products
and/or polishes should not be used for
cleaning the vehicle. 102)
Avoid washing with rollers and/or
brushes in washing stations. Wash the
vehicle only by hand using neutral pH
detergents; dry it with a wet chamois
leather. Abrasive products and/or polishes
should not be used for cleaning the car.
Bird droppings must be washed off
immediately and thoroughly as the acid
they contain is particularly aggressive.
Avoid (if at all possible) parking the vehicle
under trees; remove vegetable resins
immediately as, when dried, it may only be
possible to remove them with abrasive
products and/or polishes, which is highly
inadvisable as they could alter the typical
opaqueness of the paint. Do not use pure
windscreen washer fluid for cleaning the
front windscreen and rear window; dilute it
min. 50% with water. Only use pure screen
washer fluid when strictly necessary due to
outside temperature conditions.IMPORTANT
6) Detergents pollute the environment. Only
wash your vehicle in areas equipped to
collect and treat wastewater from this type
of activity.
INTERIORS
186) 187) 188)
Periodically check the cleanliness of the
interior, beneath the mats, which could
cause oxidation of the sheet metal.
SEATS AND FABRIC
PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a
vacuum cleaner. It is advisable to use a
moist brush on velvet upholstery. Rub
the seats with a sponge moistened with
a solution of water and mild soap.
LEATHER SEATS(where provided)
Remove the dry dirt with a slightly
damp buckskin or cloth, without
exercising too much pressure.
Remove any liquid or grease stains
using an absorbent dry cloth, without
rubbing. Then clean with a soft cloth or
buckskin cloth dampened with water
and mild soap. If the stain persists, use
specific products and observe the
instructions carefully.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol. Make
sure that the cleaning products used
contain no alcohol or alcohol
derivatives, even in small quantities.
