“Smart washing” function
Pulling the stalk towards the steering wheel (unstable position) operates
the windscreen washer; indeed, the latter comes into action
automatically if the stalk is pulled for more than half a second.
The wiper stops working three strokes after releasing the stalk. On
certain versions a further “cleaning stroke”, after a few seconds,
completes the wiping operation.
Operating the stalk quickly and repeatedly (for less than half a second) it
is possible to wet the windscreen several times without operating the
wiper.

Never use the window wiper to remove ice or snow from the windscreen.
In these conditions, the wiper is submitted to excessive effort that results in motor protection
cutting in and wiper operation inhibition for few seconds as a consequence. If operation is not
restored contact Fiat Dealership.
