RAIN SENSOR (where provided)
The rain sensor is located behind the dri-
ving mirror in contact with the windscreen
and has the purpose of automatically ad-
just, 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 fig. 64
Move the right-hand stalk downwards by
one position (B).
The activation of the rain sensor is sig-
nalled by a control acquisition “stroke”.
Turning the knurled ring F it is possible to
increase the sensitivity of the rain sensor.
The increase of the sensitivity of the rain
sensor is signalled by a control and acqui-
sition “cycle”.
Operating the windscreen washer with
the rain sensor activated the normal wash-
ing cycle is performed at the end of which
the rain sensor resumes its normal auto-
matic function.
Deactivation fig. 64
Move the stalk off B or turn the ignition
key to OFF.
At next engine starting (key at ON), the
sensor will not be reactivated even if the
stalk is at B. In this event, to activate the
rain sensor you have to move the stalk
to A or C and then again to B or turn the
knurled ring.
Rain sensor activation will be indicated by
at least one wiper “stroke” even if the
windscreen is dry.
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.
