DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS
The sensor reactivation is signalled by a
windscreen wiper “stroke”.
The rain sensor is able to recognize and
automatically adjust itself in the presence
of the following particular conditions:
❒ impurities on the controlled surface
(salt, dirt, etc.);
❒ difference between day and night.
Deactivation
Change the stalk knurled ring position
from B or turn the ignition key to STOP.
At the next start-up (key at MAR), the
sensor will not be reactivated even if the
stalk is at B. To activate the sensor, move
the stalk to position A or C and then to
position B or turn the sensitivity adjust-
ment knurled ring.

Streaks of water may cause
unnecessary blade moving.
WARNING
With windscreen wiper on and reverse
gear engaged, rear window wiping will be
continuous.
Pushing the stalk towards the dashboard
(unstable position) will activate the rear
window washer.
Keeping the stalk pushed for over half a
second will activate also the rear window
wiper.
Releasing the stalk will activate the smart
washing function as described for the
windscreen wiper.
