Move the stalk upwards (unstable position) to limit operation to the
time for which the stalk is held in this position. When released, the
stalk will return to its default position and the wiper will be
automatically stopped.
Do not use the windscreen wiper 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 protection, which prevents operation for a
few seconds, may intervene. If operation is not restored, even
after turning the key and restarting the engine, contact Alfa
Romeo Authorized Services.
Do not operate the windscreen wiper with the blades
lifted from the windscreen.
"Smart washing" function
Pull the lever towards the steering wheel (unstable position) to operate
the windscreen washer. Keep the stalk pulled for more than half a
second, with just one movement, to operate windscreen washer/wiper
jet at the same time.
The wiper stops working three strokes after the stalk is released. A
further stroke after approximately 6 seconds completes the cycle.
RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is an infra-red LED sensor fitted on the car windscreen fig. 37.
It is able to detect the presence of rain and consequently manage
windscreen wiping in accordance with the amount of water on the
windscreen.
Activation
The sensor is activated when ring nut A fig. 36 is turned to "automatic"
position ("AUTO" control): the windscreen wiper stroke frequency is
thus adjusted in accordance with the amount of water on the
windscreen.
This frequency can vary from no stroke (no rain - windscreen dry) up
nd
to the 2
constant speed operation (heavy rain - windscreen wet).
The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be adjusted through the Set-up
menu (see paragraph "Menu Items" in this section).
