REAR WINDOW WASHER/WIPER

fig. 38

The device can only work when the igni-

tion key is at MAR.

Operation will stop when releasing the

stalk.

Turning the knurled ring from 

O to 

'

will

operate the rear window wiper as follows:

❒ intermittent operation if the wind-

screen wiper is off;

❒ synchronised with the windscreen

wiper (but with half stroke frequency);

❒ continuous operation with reverse en-

gaged and windscreen wiper on.

Never use the rear window

wiper to remove ice or snow

from the rear window. In these

conditions, the wiper is sub-

mitted 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 Abarth Dealership.

With windscreen wiper on and reverse

gear engaged, rear window wiping will be

continuous.

Pushing the stalk towards the dashboard

(unstable position) will activate the rear

window washer.

Keeping the stalk pushed for over half a

second will activate also the rear window

wiper.

Releasing the stalk will activate the smart

washing function as described for the

windscreen wiper.
