WIPER/WASHER
SWITCH (if equipped)
To turn the rear wiper on, twist the rear
wiper switch on the end of the lever for-
ward to the “ON” position. If your vehi-
cle is equipped the “INT” position, the
rear wiper operates intermittently when
you twist the switch forward to the “INT”
position. To turn the rear wiper off, twist
the switch rearward to the “OFF” posi-
tion.
With the rear wiper in the “OFF” posi-
tion, twist the switch rearward and hold
it there to spray window washer fluid.
With the rear wiper in the “ON” position,
turn the switch forward and hold it there
to spray window washer fluid.
IMPORTANT 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 re-
stored contact Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Clear ice or snow from the
rear window and rear wiper blade before
using the rear wiper. Accumulated ice or
snow could prevent the wiper blade from
moving, causing damage to the wiper mo-
tor.

IMPORTANT To help prevent damage to
the windshield wiper and washer system
components, you should take the follow-
ing precautions:
❒ Do not continue to hold in the lever
when there is no windshield washer flu-
id being sprayed or the washer motor
can be damaged.
❒ Do not attempt to remove dirt from a
dry windshield with the wipers or you
can damage the windshield and the
wiper blades. Always wet the wind-
shield with washer fluid before oper-
ating the wipers.
❒ Clear ice or packed snow from the
wiper blades before using the wipers.
❒ Check the washer fluid level regularly.
Check it often when the weather is bad.
❒ Only fill the washer fluid reservoir
3/4 full during cold weather to allow
room for expansion if the temperature
falls low enough to freeze the solution.
