Rain Sensing Wipers - Alfa Romeo GIULIA 2022 Owner's Manual

Rain Sensors
Rotating the switch to the Low Sensitivity Rain
Sensing position (4), activates the first, less
sensitive level of the Rain Sensing function.
Rotating the switch to the High Sensitivity Rain
Sensing position (3), activates the second, more
sensitive level of the Rain Sensing function
page 47.
Ú
Windshield Washer
To use the washer, pull the windshield wiper lever
toward the steering wheel and hold.
Both the windshield washer jet and the
windshield wiper will be activated. The wipers and
washers will continue to operate until you let go of
the lever.
The windshield wiper stops working three strokes
after the lever is released, followed by a final
stroke six seconds later to complete the cycle.
Mist
Push the lever upward to the MIST position and
release for a single wiping cycle.
NOTE:
The Mist feature does not activate the washer
pump; therefore, no washer fluid will be sprayed
on the windshield. The wash function must be
used in order to spray the windshield with washer
fluid.
For information on wiper care and replacement,
see page 193.

WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the wind-
shield could lead to a collision. You might not
see other vehicles or other obstacles. To avoid
sudden icing of the windshield during freezing
weather, warm the windshield with the
defroster before and during windshield washer
use.

AIN ENSING IPERS
This feature senses rain or snowfall on the
windshield and automatically activates the
wipers. The Rain Sensor is located behind the
interior rearview mirror.
Rain Sensor
Rotate the end of the multifunction lever to one of
four settings to activate this feature.
The sensor has an adjustment range that varies
progressively from wiper still (no stroke) when the
windshield is dry, to wiper at continuous speed
(fast operation) with intense rain.
Activation
Rotating the wiper switch to the Low Sensitivity
Rain Sensing position (4) or High Sensitivity Rain
Sensing position (3) activates the rain sensor.
The activation of the rain sensor system is done
by tapping the wiper stalk upwards while the
switch is in the Low Sensitivity Rain Sensing
position (4) or High Sensitivity Rain Sensing
position (3).
The variation in sensitivity during rain sensor
operation is also signaled by a stroke of the wiper.
If the windshield washer is used with the rain
sensor activated, the normal washing cycle is
performed, and then the rain sensor resumes its
normal automatic operation.
NOTE:
Keep the glass in the sensor area clean.

With the windshield wiper lever in the Low

Sensitivity Rain Sensing position (4) or High
Sensitivity Rain Sensing position (3), wiping
operates automatically and is disabled when
the outside temperature is below 32°F (0°C).
