DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS
REAR SCREEN WIPER/
REAR SCREEN WASHER fig. 52
This operates only with the ignition turned
to MAR. Operation ceases when the
lever is released.
When the wheel on the lever is turned
from position
O to position ', the rear
wiper operates as follows:
❒ in intermittent mode when the rear
wiper is not in operation;
❒ in synchronous mode (at half the rate
of the windscreen wiper) when the
windscreen wiper is working;
❒ in continuous mode, with reverse en-
gaged and the control active.
With the windscreen wiper in operation
and reverse engaged, continuous opera-
tion of the rear screen wiper is also acti-
vated. When the lever is pushed toward
the dashboard (unstable position), the rear
washer jet is also activated.
Never use the rear window
wiper to remove ice or snow
from the rear window. In these
conditions, the wiper is sub-
mitted to excessive effort that results
in motor protection cutting in and
wiper operation inhibition for few sec-
onds as a consequence. If operation is
not restored contact Fiat Dealership.

When the lever is held in this position for
longer than half a second, the rear wiper
is also operated. When the lever is re-
leased, smart washing is activated, as for
the windscreen wiper.
HEADLIGHT WASHER fig. 53
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Car headlight washers are “retractable”,
i.e.: they are located inside the front
bumpers and they are activated (with
dipped beam headlights and/or main beam
headlights on) when the windscreen wash-
er is operated.
IMPORTANT Check at regular intervals
correct operation and cleanness of nozzles.
fig. 53 F0Q0018m
Do not activate the rain sen-
sor when washing the car in
an automatic washing station.
In the event of ice on the
windscreen, make sure to have
disconnected the device.
Make sure to have discon-
nected the device when
cleaning the windscreen.
WARNING
Deactivation
Turn the ignition key to STOP.
At next engine starting (key at MAR), the
sensor will not be reactivated even is the
stalk is on B-fig. 49. In this event, to ac-
tivate the rain sensor, you have to move
the stalk to A or C and then again to B.
When the rain sensor is again activated in
this way, at least one windscreen wiper
stroke occurs, even if the windscreen is
dry.
