wiper is 10 seconds, independently
of the car speed. In position , the
pause time between two strokes is set
according to the car speed: when the
speed increases, the time between two
strokes decreases. In position LO
or HI, the windscreen wiper moves
continuously, i.e. without a pause
between two strokes.
When the car is stationary, if the
windscreen wiper is active in the HI
position, it automatically switches to
LO continuous slow flick operation.
Continuous fast flick can be reactivated
by moving the ring to a position other
than HI and then back into HI, or by
moving the car.
Smart washing function
Pull the stalk towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) to operate the
windscreen washer.
Keep the lever pulled to activate
both the windscreen washer jet
and the windscreen wiper with a
single movement; the latter turns on
automatically if you keep the lever
pulled for more than half a second. The
operation of the windscreen wiper
terminates three flicks after the stalk is
released; a final cleaning stroke several
seconds later completes the wiping
operation.
With the ring nut turned to the LO or HI
position, the smart washing function is
not carried out.
WARNING If the stalk is activated for
less than half a second, only the screen
washer jet is activated. Do not prolong
the activation of the smart washing
function for more than 30 seconds.
MIST function
Move the stalk upwards (unstable
position) to activate the MIST
function: operation is limited to the
time for which the stalk is held in this
position. When released, the stalk will
return to its default position and the
windscreen wiper will be automatically
stopped.
NOTE This function does not activate
the windscreen washer; windscreen
washer fluid will not therefore be
sprayed onto the windscreen. To spray
windscreen washer fluid onto the
windscreen, the washing function must
be used.
RAIN SENSOR
(where provided)
10) 11)
This is located behind the interior
rear-view mirror fig. 43, in contact with
the windscreen and can measure the
amount of rain and, consequently,
manage the automatic wiping mode of
the windscreen in accordance with the
amount of water on the screen.
The rain sensor will be activated when
the ignition device is ENGINE. If no rain
is detected, the wiper will not carry
out any strokes. If it is raining, the
windscreen wiper moves according to
the amount of rain measured by the
sensor.
43 AB0A0539
The device is able to recognise,
and automatically adjust itself in the
presence of the following conditions:
presence of dirt on the surface (e.g.
salt, dirt, etc.);
presence of streaks of water caused
by the worn windscreen wiper blades;
difference between day and night.
The rain sensor will be deactivated only
when the ignition device is turned to
STOP.
