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

st

or

2

nd

speed); contact a Lancia

Dealership as soon as possible.

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. 

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).

In the event of ice on the

windscreen, make sure to

have disconnected the

device to prevent wiper motor

damages.
