AUTOMATIC WIPING
Automatic wiping can be selected
by selecting the rain sensor from the
display menu (see "Display screens"
in the "Display" paragraph in the
"Knowing the instrument panel"
section) or on the Uconnect™ system
(see "Settings" in the "Vehicle mode"
paragraph in the "Multimedia" section)
and turning the ring (A) fig. 42 in
position or .
These will be used to set the sensibility
level of the rain sensor: in position ,
the sensor has a lower sensitivity and
the windscreens will activate when
there is a significant amount of water
on the windscreen, while in position ,
the windscreen wipers will be activated
by a minimum amount or measured
rain.
The activation of the automatic wiping
will be notified to the driver by a single
stroke.
The same stroke will be visible every
time the sensor sensitivity is increased,
by rotating the ring nut from position
to position .
The smart washing function activates
the normal washing cycle, after which
the automatic wiping function is
restored. The failure of the sensor is
indicated by the symbol lighting up
on the display.
If the rain sensor malfunctions, the
wiper mode can be modified according
to the requirements. The failure signal
remain active during the operation
time of the sensor or until the device is
reset.
When the car is stationary, if the
windscreen wiper is moving at
maximum speed, it automatically
moves to a reduced speed. HI mode

to a different position from and
then back or by moving the car.
To deactivate automatic wiping, turn
the ring (B) to a position other than or
. This deactivation prevents unwanted
activation of the wipers when the car is
started (i.e. when the windscreen glass
is being washed by hand or the wipers
are stuck to the screen by ice).
Inhibition
Moving the ignition device switch to
the STOP position, leaving the ring
(A) in position or , when the car is
next started (ignition device switch to
the ENGINE position), no wiping cycle
occurs for system protection reasons.
This temporary inhibition prevents
unwanted activation of the wipers
when the car is started (i.e. when the
windscreen glass is being washed by
hand or the wipers are stuck to the
screen by ice).
It is possible to reactivate the automatic
wiping mode in three ways:
by turning the ring to the position
and then returning it to the or
position;
by moving the stalk upwards to the
MIST position;
upon exceeding the 5 km/h speed
and the sensor detects rain.
