FIAT Croma - Manual (Page 66)

Never use the window wiper
to remove ice or snow from
the windscreen. In these con-
ditions, the wiper is submitted
to excessive effort that results in mo-
tor protection cutting in and wiper op-
eration inhibition for few seconds as a
consequence. If operation is not re-
stored contact Fiat Dealership.

WINDSCREEN WASHER/
WIPER
This device can only work when the igni-
tion key is at ON.
The right stalk can be moved to five dif-
ferent positions fig. 62:
A: windscreen wiper off
B: flick wipe.
With the stalk in position B, turning the
knurled ring F four possible intermittent
speeds are obtained:
, = very slow intermittent
— = slow intermittent
—- = intermittent medium
—— = fast intermittent
C: continuous slow;
D: continuous fast;
E: fast temporary (unstable position).
Operation in position E is limited to the
time the stalk is held in this position.
When the lever is released, it returns to
position A automatically stopping the
wiper.
IMPORTANT Replace wiper blades as
specified in section “Car maintenance”.

“Smart washing” function
Pulling the stalk towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) operates the
windscreen washer fig. 63.
Keeping the stalk pulled for more than half
a second, with just one movement it is
possible to operate the washer jet and the
wiper at the same time.
The wiper stops working four strokes af-
ter releasing the stalk.
A further stroke after five seconds com-
pletes the wiping operation.
