Alfa Romeo WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS Guide
The windshield wiper/washer lever is located on the right side of the steering wheel.
The windshield wipers will only operate with the ignition in the ACC or ON/RUN position.
CAUTION!
- Turn the windshield wipers off when driving through an automatic car wash. Damage to the windshield wipers may result if the wiper control is left in any position other than off.
- In cold weather, always turn off the wiper switch and allow the wipers to return to the PARK position before turning off the engine. If the wiper switch is left on and the wipers freeze to the windshield, damage to the wiper motor may occur when the vehicle is restarted.
- Always remove any buildup of snow that prevents the windshield wiper blades from returning to the off position. If the windshield wiper control is turned off and the blades cannot return to the off position, damage to the wiper motor may occur.
WINDSHIELD WIPER OPERATION
Rotating the switch to the Low Continuous Wiper Speed position (2) activates the first (low) level continuous speed of the windshield wipers in manual mode.
Rotating the switch to the High Continuous Wiper Speed position (1) activates the second (high) level continuous speed of the windshield wipers in manual mode.
Windshield Wiper Switch
- High Continuous Wiper Speed
- Low Continuous Wiper Speed
- High Sensitivity Rain Sensing
- Low Sensitivity Rain Sensing
- Windshield Wiper Off
NOTE:
Your vehicle may also be equipped with a Menu View button at the end of your Windshield Wiper Stalk, for more information see page 69.
Rain Sensors
Rotating the switch to the Low Sensitivity Rain Sensing position (4), activates the first, less sensitive level of the Rain Sensing function.
Rotating the switch to the High Sensitivity Rain Sensing position (3), activates the second, more sensitive level of the Rain Sensing function page 51.
Windshield Washer
To use the washer, pull the windshield wiper lever toward the steering wheel and hold.
Both the windshield washer jet and the windshield wipers will be activated. The wipers and washers will continue to operate until you let go of the lever.
The windshield wipers stop working three strokes after the lever is released, followed by a final stroke six seconds later to complete the cycle.
Mist
Push the lever upward to the MIST position and release for a single wiping cycle.
NOTE:
The Mist feature does not activate the washer pump; therefore, no washer fluid will be sprayed on the windshield. The washer function must be used to spray the windshield with washer fluid.
For information on wiper care and replacement, see page 269.
WARNING!
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.
RAIN SENSING WIPERS
This feature senses rain or snowfall on the windshield and automatically activates the wipers. The Rain Sensor is located behind the interior rearview mirror.
Rain Sensor
Rotate the end of the multifunction lever to one of four settings to activate this feature.
The sensor has an adjustment range that varies progressively from wiper still (no stroke) when the windshield is dry, to wiper at continuous speed (fast operation) with intense rain.
Activation
Rotating the wiper switch to the Low Sensitivity Rain Sensing position (4) or High Sensitivity Rain Sensing position (3) activates the rain sensor.
The activation of the rain sensor system is done by tapping the wiper stalk upwards while the switch is in the Low Sensitivity Rain Sensing position (4) or High Sensitivity Rain Sensing position (3).
The variation in sensitivity during rain sensor operation is also signalled by a stroke of the wiper.
If the windshield washer is used with the rain sensor activated, the normal washing cycle is performed, and then the rain sensor resumes its normal automatic operation.
NOTE:
- Keep the glass in the sensor area clean.
- With the windshield wiper lever in the Low Sensitivity Rain Sensing position (4) or High Sensitivity Rain Sensing position (3), wiping operates automatically and is disabled when the outside temperature is below 32°F (0°C).
Deactivation
To turn off the Rain Sensing Wipers, use the wiper switch or place the ignition in the OFF position.
In the event of malfunction of the rain sensor, while it is active, the windshield wiper operates intermittently at a speed consistent with the sensitivity setting of the rain sensor, whether or not there is rain on the glass for as long as the sensor failure is indicated on the display.
The sensor continues to operate and it is possible to set the windshield wiper to continuous mode (1 or 2). The failure indication remains on for as long as the sensor is active.
The rain sensor can recognize and automatically adjust itself in the presence of the following conditions:
- Presence of dirt on the controlled surface (salt, dirt, etc.).
- The presence of streaks of water is caused by the worn window wiper blades.
- Difference between day and night.
HEADLIGHT WASHERS —IF EQUIPPED
The windshield wiper lever operates the headlight washers when the ignition is in the ON position and the headlights are turned on. To use the headlight washers, pull the lever toward you and release it. The headlight washers will spray a timed high-pressure spray of washer fluid onto each headlight lens. In addition, the windshield washers will spray the windshield and the windshield wipers will cycle.

NOTE:
The headlight washers work on every tenth wash cycle request.
WINDSHIELD WIPER DE-ICER —IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Windshield Wiper De-Icer feature that may be activated under the following conditions:
- Activation By Front Defrost — The Windshield Wiper De-Icer shall be activated automatically in the case of a cold weather manual start with full front defrost, and when the ambient temperature is below 33°F (0.6°C).
- Activation By Rear Defrost — The Windshield Wiper De-Icer shall be activated automatically when the rear defrost is turned on and when the ambient temperature is below 33°F (0.6°C).
- Activation By Remote Start Operation — When Remote Start is active and the outside ambient temperature is less than 33°F (0.6°C), the Windshield Wiper De-Icer will activate. Exiting Remote Start will resume its previous operation. If the Windshield Wiper De-Icer is active, the timer and operation will continue.
