WINDOW CLEANING

The right stalk controls windscreen wiper/washer and heated rear

can have the following positions::
O
windscreen wiper off;
≤ intermittent operation (low speed);

vided) (the windscreen wiper speed is automatically adapt-
ed to the intensity of the rain)

fig. 41
Move the stalk up (unstable position) to limit operation to the time
for which the stalk is held in this position. When released, the stalk
will return to its default position and the wiper will be automati-
cally stopped.
Do not use the windscreen wipers to remove lay-
ers of snow or ice from the windscreen. In such con-
ditions, the windscreen wipers may be subjected to
excessive stress, prompting intervention from the motor
protection which prevents operation for a few seconds. If
operation is not restored, even after turning the key and
restarting the engine, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Ser-
vices.
Do not operate the windscreen wiper with the
blades lifted from the windscreen.
"Smart washing" function
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel (unstable position) to op-
erate the windscreen washer jet. Keep the stalk pulled for more
than half a second, with just one movement, to operate windscreen
washer/wiper jet at the same time.
The wiper stops working three strokes after the stalk is released.
A further stroke after approximately six seconds completes the wip-
ing cycle.
