Rain sensor

The rain sensor automatically adjusts the windscreen wiper timing
to the intensity of the rain. The system is activated by moving the
windscreen wiper to AUTO.
When operating automatically, the wiper speed ranges from a
minimum intermittent setting (one wipe every 5 seconds approx.)
when the windscreen is damp to fast continuous operation in heavy
rain.
Important note
The rain sensor function is deactivated when the instrument
panel is switched off by leaving the windscreen wiper in
AUTOposition. To reactivate the system at the next KEY-ON,
set the wipers to AUTO by quickly pressing lever A towards the
dashboard.
Warning
Before cleaning the front windscreen (for example in service
stations) make sure the rain sensor is deactivated or that the
instrument panel has been switched off. The rain sensor must
be deactivated also when washing the vehicle by hand or in
automatic car washes.
In case of ice or snow on the front windscreen, do not activate
the rain sensor to avoid damaging the wiper motor and/or
blades.

Rain sensor failure

If there is a rain sensor failure, indicated by a special symbol on
the left TFT display (see page 108) while the windscreen wiper
is set to AUTO, the wipers will be set to intermittent operation
with one wipe every 1 second approximately. If this is the case, we
recommend that you deactivate the rain sensor and turn on the
wipers, if necessary, in continuous mode.
Important note
If this occurs, contact the Ferrari Service Network as soon as
possible.
