device in RUN: the arms will reposition.
If necessary move the multifunction
lever to other required operating
positions.
WARNING!
Operate or service the wiper blades
without deactivating the wipers
(“OFF” position) leaving the ignition
device in RUN can be dangerous for
the operator since the rain sensor
may suddenly activate the wipers.
Always use “Service” position for any
intervention on the wiper blades.
Windshield Washers
To use the washer, push the end of the
multifunction lever inward (toward the
steering column) and hold it as long as
washer spray is desired.
If you activate the washer while the
windshield wiper control is in the
automatic intermittent range, the
wipers will operate for two wipe
cycles after releasing the lever and
then resume the previously selected
intermittent interval.
If you activate the washer while the
windshield wiper is turned off (OFF)
the wipers will operate for three wipe
cycles and then turn off.
WARNING!
•
Do not start the windscreen washer
during the cold months until the
windscreen has warmed up. If it has
not warmed up, the liquid could
freeze on the glass and block your
view.
•
Sudden loss of visibility through
the windshield could lead to a
collision. You might not see other
vehicles or other obstacles. To avoid
sudden icing of the windshield
during freezing weather, warm the
windshield with the defroster before
and during windshield washer use.
Head Windshield Washer Nozzles ( )
To avoid fluid freezing inside at low
external temperatures, the fluid supply
nozzles can be heated by internal
resistors.
Analog Clock
To adjust the analog clock located on
the center of the dashboard between
the air outlets, use the MIA system (see
“Functions of Settings Menu on MIA”
in this section).
The time can be visualized also on
the MIA upper status bar and on
the instrument cluster display (see
"Functions of Settings Menu on MIA"
in this section).
Clock lighting works in the same
way as instrument and controls
backlighting (refer to "Interior
Lighting" in section "Understanding
the Vehicle").
