FIAT 500 - Manual (Page 43)

WINDOW CLEANING
The right stalk controls windscreen wiper/washer
and heated rear window wiper/washer operation.
WINDSCREEN WASHER/WIPER
This operates only with the ignition key turned to
MAR.
The stalk has 5 different positions (4 speeds)fig. 33:
A. windscreen wiper off. B. intermittent operation.
C. continuous slow operation. D. continuous fast
operation. E. temporary fast operation (unstable position).
The temporary fast function lasts as long as you
manually keep the stalk in that position. The lever
returns to position A when it is released,
automatically stopping the windscreen wipers.
"Smart washing" function: pull the stalk towards
the steering wheel (unstable position) to operate
the windscreen washer.
Keep the lever pulled to activate both the
windscreen washer jet and the windscreen wiper
with a single movement; the latter turns on
automatically if you keep the lever pulled for over
half a second. The operation of the windscreen
wiper terminates several strokes after the lever is
released; a final cleaning stroke several seconds later
completes the wiping operation.
Never use the windscreen wipers to
remove layers of snow or ice from the
windscreen. In these conditions, the
windscreen wipers may be submitted to excessive
effort resulting in the motor protection cutting
in and wiper operation being inhibited for a few
seconds. If rear window wiper operation is not
restored, contact a Fiat Dealership.
REAR WINDOW WASHER/ WIPER
This operates only with the ignition key turned to
MAR.
Turn the knurled ring to
to operate the rear
window wiper.
