“Smart washing” function
Pulling the stalk towards the steering wheel (unstable position) operates
the windscreen washer.
Keeping the stalk pulled for over half a second, with just one movement
it is possible to operate the washer jet and the wiper at the same time.
Releasing the stalk will stop the washer jet immediately whereas the
wiper stops working four strokes later.
A further “cleaning stroke” after five seconds, completes the wiping
operation.
RAIN SENSOR (where provided)
The rain sensor (A) is located behind the driving mirror in contact with
the windscreen and has the purpose of automatically adjust, during the
intermittent operation, the frequency of the windscreen wiper strokes as
to the rain intensity.
IMPORTANT Keep clean the glass in the sensor area.
Activation
Move the right-hand stalk downwards by one position.
The activation of the rain sensor is signalled by a control acquisition
“stroke”.
