WINDOW CLEANING
IN BRIEF
The right stalk controls screen
wiper/washer operation.
This operates only with the ignition
key turned to MAR-ON.
WINDSCREEN
WIPER/WASHER
Operation
3) 4)
The stalk has five different positions
(four speeds) fig. 29:
❒
A: windscreen wiper stopped.
❒
B: intermittent operation.
❒
C: continuous slow operation.
❒
D: continuous fast operation.
❒
E: temporary fast operation (unstable
position).
The temporary fast function lasts as
long as you manually keep the stalk in
that position. The lever returns to
position A when it is released,
automatically stopping the windscreen
wipers.
"Smart washing"
function
Pull the stalk towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) to operate the
windscreen washer.
Keep the stalk 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 stalk
pulled for more than half a second.
The operation of the windscreen wiper
terminates several strokes after the
stalk is released; a final cleaning stroke
several seconds later completes the
wiping operation.
REAR WINDOW
WIPER/WASHER
Operation
5)
This operates only with the ignition key
turned to MAR-ON.
Turn the ring nut to to operate the
rear window wiper.
With the windscreen wiper active,
rotate the ring nut to
to activate the
rear window wiper which, in this case,
operates (in the different positions) in
synchronisation with the windscreen
wiper, but with half its frequency. With
the windscreen wiper on, engaging
reverse will automatically turn the rear
window wiper on, in continuous slow
operation. Operation stops when
reverse is disengaged.
