AUTOMATIC WIPING

(for versions/markets, where provided)

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 more than half a second.

The operation of the windscreen wiper

terminates several strokes after the

stalk is released; a final cleaning stroke

several seconds later completes the

wiping operation.

Activation

The user can choose automatic wiping

by moving the right steering wheel

stalk fig. 24 to the AUTO (B) position.

The activation of the automatic wiping

will be notified to the driver by a single

stroke.

F0S0612

With the windscreen wiper on,

engaging reverse gear will automatically

turn the rear window wiper on, in

continuous slow operation. Operation

stops when reverse is disengaged.

Sensitivity Adjustment

The rain sensor sensitivity can be

adjusted through the display menu or

on the Uconnect™ 5" or 7” system.

REAR WINDOW WIPER /

WASHER

“Smart washing” function

Inhibition

Pushing the stalk towards the

dashboard (spring-return position) will

activate the rear window washer.

Keep the stalk pressed, with just one

movement, to operate the rear window

washer jet and the rear window wiper

itself; the latter automatically turns on if

you keep the stalk pressed for more

than half a second.

The rear window wiper stops operating

a few strokes after releasing the stalk;

a further "cleaning stroke", after a

few seconds, completes the wiping

operation.

If the starter switch is moved to the

STOP position, leaving the right

steering wheel stalk in the AUTO (B)

position, when the vehicle is next

started (starter switch in the MAR

position), no wiping cycle to prevent

damage to the system if the

windscreen is being washed manually

or if there is ice on it.

This operates only with the ignition key

turned to MAR.

Rear Window Wiper

Turning the knurled ring A fig. 25 from

position O to position

will operate

the rear window wiper as follows:

in intermittent mode when the

windscreen wiper is not operating;

To re-enable the automatic wiping

mode:

in synchronous mode (at half the

speed of the windscreen wiper) when

the windscreen wiper is operating;

Put the right steering wheel stalk in a

position other than AUTO and then

back to the AUTO position;

in continuous mode with reverse

gear engaged and the control active.

8) Do not use the rear window wiper to

remove layers of snow or ice. In these

conditions, the rear window wiper may be

subjected to excessive stress and the

motor protection, which prevents operation

for a few seconds, may intervene. If

operation is not restored, contact a Fiat

Dealership.

exceed the speed of 5 km/h when

the sensor detects rain.

Deactivation

The user can disable automatic wiping

by moving the right steering wheel

stalk to a position other than AUTO.

9) Make sure the device is switched off if

there is ice on the windscreen.

WARNING

18) If the window needs to be cleaned,

make sure the device is deactivated or the

key is on STOP.

19) Driving with worn windscreen/rear

window wiper blades is a serious hazard,

because visibility is reduced in bad

weather.

WARNING

5) Never use the windscreen wipers to

remove layers of snow or ice from the

windscreen. 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.

6) Do not operate the windscreen wiper

with the blades lifted from the windscreen.

7) Do not activate the rain sensor or the

rear window wiper when washing the car in

an automatic car wash.
