Removal
1 Operate the wiper motor, then switch it off
so that the wiper arm returns to its 'parked'
position.
2 Stick masking tape on the glass, to use as
an alignment aid for the rest position of the
wiper blade. Note, however, that there is a
mark on the tailgate window glass for locating
the blade in its 'rest' position (see
illustrations).
3 Prise out the wiper arm spindle nut cover,
then unscrew and remove the spindle nut.
Recover the washer (see illustrations).

4 Lift the blade off the glass, and ease the
wiper arm off its spindle, using a rocking action
(see illustrations). If both windscreen wiper
arms are being removed, note both locations,
as different arms are fitted to each side.
Refitting
5 Refitting is a reversal of removal, but ensure
that the wiper arm and spindle splines are
clean and dry and align the blade with the
tape before tightening the spindle nut
securely.

1 All models are fitted with a FIAT CODE
engine immobiliser system as standard
equipment. The immobiliser is automatically
activated when the ignition key is turned to
PARK or STOP, and will also be activated
when the key is removed completely from the
switch. The ignition key has an integral device
which transmits a coded signal to the FIAT
CODE unit on the ignition switch, and the unit
will only allow the engine to be started if it
recognises the signal.
2 Each new car is provided with one master
key (burgundy) and two duplicate keys (blue)
for normal use. The duplicate keys
incorporate a battery on models with remote
central locking and an alarm system. The
master key should be kept in a safe place, as
