GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
30
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 rotating the ring to position and
then again to position or
by moving the start upwards to
position MIST
upon exceeding the 5 km/h speed
with the rain sensor
When the windscreen wiper
is reactivated using any of the
manoeuvres described above,
reactivation is indicated by a single
stroke of the windscreen wipers,
regardless of the condition of the
windscreen.
IMPORTANT For automatic
transmission vehicles with rain sensor,
engaging the gear N (Neutral) inhibits
the automatic wiping mode.
Deactivation
It is possible to deselect the automatic
wiping through the display Menu or the
Uconnect™ system, or by rotating
ring nut (A) to any non-intermittent
position ( or ).
Service Position
The function allows the driver to
replace the windscreen wiper blades
more easily, protecting them also from
ice and/or snow.
Activation
To activate this function, deactivate
the windscreen wiper (ring (A) fig. 32in
position ) before setting the ignition
device to STOP. This function can only
be activated within 2 minutes of setting
the ignition device to STOP.
To activate this function, move the lever
upwards (unstable position) for at least
half a second.
Each time the function is activated
correctly, the wiper blades move to
signal the correct reception of the
command. The command can be
repeated up to a maximum of the three
times.
The fourth repetition of the command
deactivates the function.
If, after using the function, the
ignition device is set back to MAR
with the blades in a position other
than rest position (at the base of the
windscreen), they will only return to rest
position following a command given
using the stalk (stalk upwards, into
unstable position) or when a speed of
5 km/h is exceeded.
IMPORTANT Before activating the
function, make sure, when starting the
engine, that the windscreen is free of
snow or ice.
Deactivation
The function is deactivated if:
2 minutes have passed since the
ignition device was set to STOP;
the ignition device is set to MAR and
the blades are in rest position;
the ignition device is set to MAR and
a wiping command is carried out.
REAR WINDOW
WIPER/WASHER
Turn the ring (B) fig. 32 to set the
rear window wiper to operate in the
following modes:
continuous: when ring is in
position;
intermittent: when ring is in the
position and the windscreen wiper is
stationary;
synchronous: when the rear window
wiper ring is in the position and the
windscreen wiper is moving or set to
AUTO. In this mode, the rear window
wiper makes one stroke for each two
strokes of the screen wiper;
single flick: with the selector in the
position, the windscreen wiper on and
reverse gear engaged.
Push the stalk towards the dashboard
(rocking position) to activate the rear
