HEADLIGHT WASHER
(where provided) fig. 46

Headlight washers are “retractable”, i.e.:

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 seconds as
a consequence. If operation is not re-
stored contact Fiat Dealership.

With windscreen wiper on and reverse
gear engaged, rear window wiping will be
continuous.

Pushing the stalk towards the dashboard
(unstable position) will activate the rear
window washer.

Keeping the stalk pushed for over half a
second will activate also the rear window
wiper.

Releasing the stalk will activate the smart
washing function as described for the
windscreen wiper.
