Instruments and Controls
Windshield Wipers and
Washers Control
The right multifunction lever controls
windshield wiper and washer operation.
This operates only with the ignition
device at ON.
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.
CAUTION!
•
Never use the windshield wiper to
remove layers of snow or ice from the
windshield glass. In such conditions,
the windshield 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 subsequently restored,
even after restarting the engine,
contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer.
•
In cold weather, always turn off the
windshield wiper control and allow the
wiper to return to the park position
before turning off the engine. If the
wiper control is left on and the wiper
freeze to the windshield, the wiper
motor may be damaged when the
vehicle is restarted.
•
Always remove any buildup of snow
that prevents the windshield wiper
blade from returning to the off position.
If the windshield wiper control is
turned off and the blade cannot return
to the off position, the wiper motor
may be damaged
•
Do not operate the windshield
wiper with the blade lifted from the
windshield glass.
•
Make sure the windshield wiper and
washer device is turned off if there is
ice on the windshield glass.
•
Make sure the windshield wiper and
washer device is turned off whenever
the windshield glass must be cleaned.
