4 switches on.
IMPORTANT Before getting out of the
car, make sure that both switches are in
the central position: when the doors are
closed the lights will switch off to avoid
draining the battery. In any case, if the
switch is left in the on position, the roof
light switches off automatically about
15 minutes after the engine has been
switched off.

The roof lights come on won unlocking,
opening and closing. The timed period is

"MAR-ON".
Timing while getting out of the car
The roof lights come on when the key is

WINDSCREEN / REAR WINDOW
WIPERS
This operates only with the ignition key
turned to MAR.
WINDSCREEN WASHER / WIPER
Operation
13) 14)
Ring 2 fig. 23 can be set to the following
positions:
O – windscreen wiper off;
– intermittent operation (low
speed);
AUTO – rain sensor on (where provided);
– intermittent operation;
– continuous slow operation;
– continuous fast operation.
Move the stalk upwards (unstable
position) to limit operation 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.
“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel
(unstable position) to operate the
windscreen washer. Keep the stalk pulled
for more than half a second to operate
the windscreen washer jet and wiper
automatically with a single movement.
The windscreen wiper stops working
three strokes after the stalk is released.
A further stroke after approx. 6 seconds
completes the wiping cycle.
RAIN SENSOR
(where provided)
It can detect the presence of rain and
consequently manage windscreen wiping
in accordance with the amount of water
on the windscreen.
The sensor is activated when the ring 2 is
turned to “automatic” position (“AUTO”
control): the windscreen wiper stroke
frequency is thus adjusted in accordance
with the amount of water on the
windscreen.
If no rain is detected, the wiper will not
carry out any strokes.
