Operating the windscreen washer
with the rain sensor activated (stalk
at position
1 ) the normal washing
cycle is performed at the end of
which the rain sensor resumes its
normal automatic function.
The rain sensor is switched off
when the key is turned to STOP . It
will not come on again at the follow-
ing engine start-up (key at
MAR )
even if the stalk is at position 1 . This
will avoid accidental activation when
starting the engine that could result
in dangerous situations (e.g. manual
windscreen washing, wiper blades
sticking due to ice and risk of dam-
aging the windscreen wiper motor).
In this case to activate the rain sen-
sor, just take the stalk to position
0
or 2 and then to 1 again, or change
sensitivity (increase or decrease)
through knurled ring
A .
When the rain sensor is again acti-
vated in this way, at least one wind-
screen wiper stroke occurs, even if
the windscreen is dry, to signal the
occurred re-activation.
The rain sensor is located behind
the driving mirror in contact with
the windscreen and inside the area
cleaned by the wiper and it controls
an electronic control unit which in
turns controls the wiper motor.
At starting, the rain sensor auto-
matically provides to stabilize at
about 40°C temperature to elimi-
nate, from the control surface, the
possible condensate and to prevent
the ice formation.
Turning the knurled ring A ( fig.
100 ) it is possible to increase the
sensitivity of the rain sensor, obtain-
ing a quicker change from stationary
(no flick) when the windscreen is
dry, to second continuous speed
(continuous fast wipe):
■
= low sensitivity
■■
= medium sensitivity
■■■
= high sensitivity
■■■■
= max. sensitivity.
Rain sensor sensitivity level
increase (with sensor on) is indicat-
ed by windscreen wiper flick.
