If the rain sensor malfunctions, the

wiper mode can be modified according

to the requirements. The malfunction

signal remain active during the

operation time of the sensor or until the

device is reset.
When the car is stationary, if the

windscreen wiper is moving at

maximum speed, it automatically

moves to a reduced speed.

HI

mode

can be reactivated by moving the ring
to a different position from and
then back or by moving the car.
To deactivate automatic wiping, turn
the ring (B) to a position other than or

. This deactivation prevents unwanted

activation of the wipers when the car is

started (i.e. when the windscreen glass

is being washed by hand or the wipers

are stuck to the screen by ice).

Inhibition

Moving the ignition device switch to

the STOP position, leaving the ring nut
(A) in position or , when the car is

next started (ignition device switch to

the ENGINE position), no wiping cycle

occurs for system protection reasons.
This temporary inhibition prevents

unwanted activation of the wipers

when the car is started (i.e. when the

44

windscreen glass is being washed by

hand or the wipers are stuck to the

screen by ice).
It is possible to reactivate the automatic

wiping mode in three ways:

by turning the ring to the position

and then returning it to the or

position;

by moving the stalk upwards to the

MIST

position;

upon exceeding the 5 km/h speed

and the sensor detects rain.

REAR WINDOW WIPER /

WASHER

This operates only with the ignition

device at ENGINE.
The ring (B) fig. 43 can be set to the

following positions:

Wiper off
Intermittent wiping
Continuous wiping

Rear Window Wiper

Turn the ring to (B) fig. 43 to operate

the rear window wiper:

continuous: when the ring is in

position ;

intermittent: when the ring is in

position and the windscreen wiper

wiper is stopped;

synchronous: when the ring is in

position and the windscreen wiper is

moving or set to AUTO. In this mode,

the rear window wiper makes one

stroke for each two strokes of the

windscreen wiper;
With the ring in position , the wiper

active and reverse gear engaged, the

wiper is activated in synchronous

mode.
With the ring in position , the rear

window wiper is stopped.
NOTE If automatic wiping mode is

active and the sensor does not detect

water, the rear window wiper will stays

still when the ring is turned to position

.

Push the stalk towards the dashboard

(rocking position) to activate the rear

window washer jet. Keep pushing

the lever to automatically activate

both the rear window washer jet and

the rear window wiper with a single

movement. Releasing the stalk will

activate three strokes, as described for

the windscreen wiper.

26)

If the window needs to be cleaned,

make sure the device is turned off or the

ignition device is in the STOP position.

27)

Driving with worn windscreen/rear

window wiper blades is a serious risk,

because visibility is reduced in bad

weather.

8)

Never use the screen wiper to remove

layers of snow or ice from the windscreen

glass. In such conditions, the wiper

may be subjected to excessive stress

and the motor cut-out switch, which

prevents operation for a few seconds, may

intervene. If operation is not restored,

contact a Fiat Dealership.

9)

Do not operate the windscreen wiper

with the blades lifted from the windscreen.

10)

Do not activate the rain sensor when

washing the car in an automatic car wash.

11)

Make sure the device is switched off if

there is ice on the windscreen glass.
