A further stroke after approximately 5 seconds
completes the wiping cycle.
RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The rain sensor is located behind the rear-view
mirror in contact with the windscreen and has the
purpose of automatically adjusting the frequency
of the windscreen wiper strokes depending on the
intensity of the rain during intermittent operation.
IMPORTANT Keep the glass in the sensor area clean.
Activation fig. 71
Move the right lever down by one click (position B).
The activation of the sensor is signalled by a "stroke"
to show that the command has been acquired.
Turn the ring nut F to increase the rain sensor
sensitivity.
The increasing of the rain sensor sensitivity is also
signalled by a stroke of the wipers.
If the windscreen washer is used with the rain sensor
activated, the normal washing cycle is performed,
after which the rain sensor resumes its normal
automatic operation.
Deactivation fig. 71
Move the lever from position B or turn the ignition
key to OFF. The next time the vehicle is started
(ignition key in ON position), the sensor is not
reactivated even if the lever is still in position B.
To activate the sensor, move the lever to position A
or C and then back to position B or turn the ring nut
for adjusting the sensitivity. Rain sensor activation
will be indicated by at least one wiper "stroke" even
if the windscreen is dry.
The rain sensor is capable of recognising the
difference between day and night and making the
necessary adjustments automatically.
WARNING
Streaks of water may cause unnecessary
blade movements.
HEADLIGHT WASHERS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Headlight washers are "retractable", i.e. they are
located inside the front bumpers and they are
activated when (with dipped beams on) the
windscreen washer is operated.
IMPORTANT Check the correct condition and
cleanliness of nozzles at regular intervals.
