With the windscreen wiper on and reverse gear
engaged, rear window wiping will be continuous.
Pushing the stalk towards the dashboard (unstable
position) the rear window washer jet will activate.
Keep the stalk pushed for more than half a second to
activate the rear window wiper as well. Releasing
the stalk will activate the smart washing function, as
described for the windscreen wiper.
The function stops when the stalk is released.
Do not use the rear window wiper to
remove layers of snow or ice. In these
conditions, the windscreen wiper may be
submitted to excessive effort resulting in the
motor protection cutting in and wiper operation
being inhibited for a few seconds. If operation
is not restored, contact a Fiat Dealership.
