Understanding the Vehicle
WARNING!
Operate or service the windshield
wiper blades without deactivating
the wipers (“OFF” position), leaving
the ignition switch in RUN can be
dangerous for the operator since the
rain sensor may suddenly activate the
wipers. Always use “Service” position
for any intervention on the windshield
wiper blades.
Windshield Washers and
Headlight Washers
To use the washer on the windshield,
push the end of the multifunction
lever inward (toward the steering
column) and hold it as long as washer
spray is desired.
If you activate the washer while the
windshield wiper control is in the
automatic intermittent range, the
wipers will operate for two wipe
cycles after releasing the lever and
then resume the previously-selected
intermittent interval.
If you activate the washer while the
windshield wiper is turned off (“OFF”
position) the wipers will operate for
three wipe cycles and then turn off.
WARNING!
• Do not start the windshield washer
during the cold months until the
windshield has warmed up. If it has
not warmed up, the liquid could
freeze on the glass and block your
view.
• Sudden loss of visibility through
the windshield could lead to a
collision. You might not see other
vehicles or other obstacles. To avoid
sudden icing of the windshield
during freezing weather, warm the
windshield with the defroster before
and during windshield washer use.
Headlight Washers (if foreseen)
The multifunction lever also operates
the headlight washers when the
ignition switch is in
RUN position and
the headlights are turned on.
The headlight washers will spray a
timed high-pressure spray of washer
fluid onto each headlight lens every 11
windshield wipers cycles.
Head Windshield Washer Nozzles
(optional)
To avoid fluid freezing inside at low
external temperatures, the fluid supply
nozzles can be heated by internal
resistors.
Rear Window Wiper/Washer
Use the switch on multifunction lever
as follows to turn on the rear window
wiper and/or washer:
• From the “OFF” position, turn control
forward to the first detent to activate
wiper intermittently;
• Turn control forward to the second
detent to activate wiper continuous
action;
• A further rotation forward (unstable
position) will trigger the rear window
washer until control is released. After
control release, the rear window
wiper will resume continuous
operation;
• From the “OFF” position, turn control
backward (unstable position) to
trigger rear window washer until
control is released: the rear window
wiper will perform several cycles.
