The rain sensor must be
deactivated (or key at
STOP) when cleaning the
windscreen (e.g. at service sta-
tions). The rain sensor must be
deactivated also when washing
the car manually or at automatic
washing stations.
In the event of ice on the
windscreen, make sure to
have disconnected the
device to prevent wiper motor
damages.

The sensor rain is able to recognize
and automatically
adjust itself in
the presence of the following partic-
ular conditions, which need a differ-
ent intervention sensitivity:
– impurities on the control surface
(salt, dirt, etc.)
– straks of water caused by worn
wiper blades
– difference between day and
night(the human eye is more dis-
turbed at night by the wet surface of
the glass).

Rain sensor failure

In case of sensor malfunctioning,
intermittent wiping is activated with
the sensitivity level set manually,
regardless of the rain.
In this case it is recommended to
deactivate the rain sensor and acti-
vate continuous wiping (1
2
nd
speed); contact a Lancia
Dealership as soon as possible.
