and the outside temperature is
below 32 °F (0 °C). To resume, set
the automatic function on the
multifunction lever, start the engine
and drive or wait until the outside
temperature rises above freezing.
• Wipe inhibit with transmission in N

Headlights On with Wipers
When activating this function, the
headlights will light up approximately
10 seconds after the wipers acting
on the windshield are turned on if
the light switch is placed in "AUTO"
position. In addition, the headlights
switch off when the wipers are
turned off (position "OFF") if they
were previously turned by using this
function. Powering on Headlights
with wipers can be activated and
deactivated with the MIA system, see
"Functions of Settings Menu on MIA"

in section "Dashboard Instruments and
Controls" for further information.
Wiper Blade Maintenance
When the wiper arms are in the
rest position it is not possible to
check or replace the blades (Service
position) as they are folded under
the hood. To service the blades (see
paragraph "Wiper Maintenance and
Blades Replacement" in chapter
"Maintenance Procedures" of section
"Maintenance and Care") it is
necessary to shift the multifunction
lever to "OFF" and the ignition device
to OFF position.
Shift the control lever within 15
seconds to the "MIST" position
(forward rotation of the end of the
multifunction control lever) and
release. The blades are brought in a
position enabling to open the wiper
arms and change the blades.
It is possible to use the "MIST"
position for a maximum of 3 times
within two minutes, corresponding to
different three blades positions on the
windshield. When completed, bring
the ignition device in RUN: the arms
will reposition. If necessary move the
multifunction lever to other required
operating positions.
WARNING!
Operate or service the windshield
wiper blades without deactivating
the wipers ("OFF" position), leaving
the ignition device in RUN can be
dangerous for the operator since the
rain sensor may suddenly activate the
wipers. Always use "Service" position
for any intervention on the windshield
wiper blades.
Windshield Washers
To use the washer, push the end of the
multifunction lever inward (toward the
steering column) and hold it as long as
washer spray is desired.
If you activate the washer while the
windshield wiper control is in the
automatic intermittent range, the
wipers will operate for two wipe
cycles after releasing the lever and
then resume the previously selected
intermittent interval.
