AND CONTROLS
Operation in position E is limited to the
time during which the lever is kept in that
position manually. When released, the
stalk will return to position A and the
wiper will be automatically stopped.
IMPORTANT Replace wiper blades as
specified in the “Maintenance and care”
chapter.
RAIN SENSOR
(where provided)
The rain sensor is located behind the dri-
ving mirror in contact with the windscreen
and has the purpose of automatically ad-
justing the frequency of the windscreen
wiper strokes as to the rain intensity.
IMPORTANT Keep clean the glass in the
sensor area.
Activation
Move the right stalk down by one click.
The activation of the rain sensor is sig-
nalled by a control acquisition flick.
Turn the ring F-fig. 73 to increase the rain
sensor sensitivity.
The increase of the sensitivity of the rain
sensor is signalled by a control and acqui-
sition flick.
The smart cycle is started when the wind-
screen wiper is turned on while the rain
sensor is active without supplementary
flick after 5 seconds. The sensor will re-
sume normal automatic operation.
“Smart wash” function
fig. 72
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel
(unstable position) to operate the wind-
screen washer.
Keeping the stalk pulled for more than half
a second, with just one movement it is
possible to operate the washer jet and the
wiper at the same time.
The jet will be released immediately when
the wiper stops after four flicks.
A further stroke after 5 seconds com-
pletes the wiping operation.
Do not use the windscreen
wiper to remove layers of
snow or ice from the wind-
screen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wiper may be subjected to
excessive stress and the motor protec-
tion which prevents operation for a few
seconds may trip. If rear window wiper
operation is not reset, contact the Fi-
at Dealership.
