The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be adjusted through the Set-up
menu (see paragraph “Menu Items” in this section).
If the engine is stopped with the lever in “automatic” position, when it
is next started no wiping cycle will take place even if it is raining.
This prevents accidental activation of the rain sensor when the engine
is started (e.g. when the windscreen is being washed by hand or
the wipers are stuck to the windscreen when there is ice).
Carry out any of the following manoeuvres to restore automatic
operation of the system:
❒
movement of left stalk from the automatic position to any other
position and then back to automatic;
❒
sensitivity adjustment (by turning ring nut A to increase or decrease).
When the rain sensor 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.
If the sensitivity is changed whilst the rain sensor is operating, a
windscreen wiper stroke is carried out to confirm the change.
In the event of malfunction of the rain sensor whilst it is active, the
windscreen wiper operates intermittently at a speed consistent with the
sensitivity setting of the rain sensor, regardless of whether there is
rain on the glass (sensor failure is indicated on the display).
The sensor continues to operate and it is possible to set the windscreen
wiper to continuous mode (1
st
or 2
nd
speed). The failure indication
remains for as long as the sensor is active.
REAR WINDOW WASHER/WIPER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Activation
This operates only with the ignition key turned to MAR.
Turn ring nut B fig. 34 from position
O to position to operate the
rear window wiper as follows:
❒
in intermittent mode when the windscreen wiper is not operating;
❒
in synchronous mode (at half the speed of the windscreen wiper)
when the windscreen wiper is operating;
❒
in continuous mode with reverse gear engaged and the control
active.
With reverse gear engaged and windscreen wiper on, the rear
window wiper is activated in continuous mode. Pushing the stalk
towards the dashboard (unstable position) will activate the rear
window washer jet.
Keep the stalk pushed for more than half a second to activate the rear
window wiper as well. Releasing the stalk will activate the smart
washing function, as described for the windscreen wiper.
