The wiper stops working a few

strokes after releasing the stalk; a

further “cleaning stroke”, after a

few seconds completes the wiping

operation.

Windscreen washer nozzles are fit-

ted with demisting resistors that cut

in automatically (for about 3 min-

utes) when pressing the fast window

demisting/defrosting button. 

Headlight washer (fig. 99) 

Pulling the stalk towards the steer-

ing wheel will also operate the head-

light washers providing that the

dipped beam headlights are on.

IMPORTANT Under certain con-

ditions, when headlight washers are

on, the climate control system acti-

vates automatically the inside air

recirculation to prevent washer fluid

smell inlet into the passenger’s com-

partment.

Rain sensor 

The rain sensor is an infrared led

sensor installed on the windscreen

and combined with the windscreen

wiper which automatically suits the

flick frequency during operation to

the intensity of rain.

All the functions controlled with

the right-hand stalk (i.e. on/off,

continuous slow and fast wipe, tem-

porary fast wipe, windscreen washer

and headlight washer) are unvaried.

The rain sensor is automatically

switched on when the stalk is taken

to position 1 (fig. 97) and has the

purpose of adjusting the range of

operation from stationary (no flick)

when the windscreen is dry to sec-

ond continuous speed (continuous

fast wipe) when the rain is heavy.

When taking the stalk to 1 to acti-

vate the rain sensor, the windscreen

wiper indicates the sensor activation

by a flick.

IMPORTANT To guarantee prop-

er rain sensor operation, keep the

glass clean in the sensor area.
