Instruments and Controls
limited to the time for which the lever
is held in this position. When released,
the lever will return to its default
position and the windshield wiper
automatically stop. This function is
useful to remove small deposits of dust
from the windshield, or morning dew.
NOTE:
MIST function does not activate
the windshield washer; windshield
washer fluid will not therefore be
sprayed onto the windshield. To spray
windshield washer fluid onto the
windshield, the washing function must
be used.
With ring in position or , the
windshield wiper will automatically
adapt its operating speed to the speed
of the car.
“Smart washing” Function
Pull the right multifunction lever
towards the steering wheel (unstable
position) to operate the windshield
washer. Keep the lever pulled to
activate both the windshield washer
jet and the windshield wiper with a
single movement; the latter turns on
automatically.
The windshield wiper stops working
three strokes after the lever is
released.
A further stroke after approx. 6
seconds completes the wiping cycle.
Rain Sensor Operation
The rain sensor is located behind the
interior rear view mirror, in contact
with the windshield and can detect the
presence of rain and, consequently,
manage the cleaning of the windshield
in accordance with the amount of
water on the windshield.
The sensor has an adjustment range
which varies progressively from wiper
still (no stroke) when the windshield
is dry, to wiper at 2nd continuous
speed (fast continuous operation) with
intense rain.
Positions
and correspond to
sensitivity level 1 and 2 of the rain
sensor.
Activation
Turn the ring of the right
multifunction lever to position
or
to activate the rain sensor.
The activation of the sensor is signaled
by a flick of the wiper (indicating that
the command has been acquired).
The variation in sensitivity during rain
sensor operation is also signaled by a
flick of the wiper (command acquired
and implemented). This stroke is also
executed with the windshield dry.
If the windshield washer is used with
the rain sensor activated, the normal
washing cycle is performed, after
which the rain sensor resumes its
normal automatic operation.
CAUTION!
• Keep the glass in the sensor area
clean.
•
With the windshield wiper ring
turned to the
or position,
wiping operates automatically
and is disabled when the outside
temperature is below 32
°
F (0
°
C).
•
Use on the windshield of RainX ® or
products containing wax or silicone
may reduce rain sensor performance.
