REAR WINDOW WASH/WIPE FUNCTION
This device can only work when the ignition key is at MAR.
To switch the rear window wiper on, turn the knurled ring from O to
'
. To wash the window push the stalk towards the dashboard.
On certain versions the rear window and windscreen wiping strokes are
synchronised.
“Smart washing” function
On certain versions, pulling the stalk towards the dashboard, with just
one movement it is possible to operate the washer jet and the wiper at
the same time; 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.
HEADLIGHT WASHERS
They are activated automatically when the windscreen washer is
operated with dipped beam headlights or main beam headlights on.
IMPORTANT Regularly check that the spray jets are intact and clean.

Never use the rear window wiper to remove ice or snow
from the rear window. 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.
