REAR WINDOW WIPER / WASHER
(where provided)
This operates only with the ignition key
turned to MAR.
Turn ring 1 from
O position to
position to operate the rear window
wiper as follows:
in intermittent mode when the
windscreen wiper is not operating;
in synchronous mode (at half the
speed of the windscreen wiper) when the
windscreen wiper is operating;
in continuous mode with reverse gear
engaged and the control active.
Pushing the stalk towards the dashboard
(rocking position) will activate the rear
window washer jet. 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.
WARNING
13) Never use the windscreen wipers to
remove layers of snow or ice from the
windscreen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wiper may be subjected to
excessive stress and the motor cut-out
switch, which prevents operation for a few
seconds, may intervene. If operation is not
restored (even after restarting that car with
the key), contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
14) Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with the blades lifted from the windscreen.
