These will be used to set the sensitivity
level of the rain sensor: in position
,
the sensor has a lower sensitivity and
the windscreen wipers will activate
when there is a significant amount of
water on the windscreen; while in
position
, the windscreen wipers will
be activated by a minimum amount of
rain measured.
The activation of the automatic wiping
will be notified to the driver by a single
stroke.
The same stroke will be visible every
time the sensor sensitivity is increased,
by rotating the ring nut from position
to position .
The "Smart Washing" function activates
the normal washing cycle, after which
the automatic wiping function is
restored. The failure of the sensor is
indicated by the
symbol lighting up
on the display.
If the rain sensor malfunctions, the
wiper mode can be modified according
to requirements. The malfunction signal
remain active during the operation time
of the sensor or until the device is reset.
Inhibition
If the ignition device is turned to STOP,
leaving the ring nut A in position
or
, when the engine is next started
(ignition device at MAR), no wiping
cycle occurs for system protection
reasons.
This temporary inhibition prevents
unwanted activation of the wipers when
the car is started (i.e. when the
windscreen is being washed by hand or
the wipers are stuck to the windscreen
by ice).
It is possible to reactivate the automatic
wiping mode in three ways:
by rotating the ring nut to position O
and then again to position
or
by moving the stalk 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 nut A fig. 33 in
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.
