Deactivation
Turn the ignition key to STOP. The next time the
vehicle is started (key turned to MAR), the sensor
is not reactivated. To activate the sensor, move
the stalk upwards or downwards and then to
central position. Rain sensor activation will be
indicated by at least one wiper "stroke" even if the
windscreen is dry.
The rain sensor is able to recognise, and
automatically adjust itself in the presence of the
following conditions:
❒ presence of dirt on the controlled surface (salt,
dirt, etc.);
❒ presence of streaks of water caused by the worn
window wiper blades;
❒ difference between day and night.
Do not activate the rain sensor when
washing the car in an automatic car
wash.
Make sure the device is switched off if
there is ice on the windscreen.
Make sure the device is switched off
whenever the windscreen must be
cleaned.
