The rear window wiper stops working
a few strokes after releasing the ring
nut; a further stroke after about 6 sec-
onds completes the wiping operation.
Never use the 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. Should
it be not possible to restore its
operation, contact Alfa Romeo
Authorized Service.
