Activation
Move the right stalk down by one click.
The activation of the sensor is signalled by a
"stroke" to show that the command has been
acquired.
IMPORTANT Keep the glass in the sensor area
clean.
By turning ring nut F fig. 51 is it possible to increase
the sensitivity of the rain sensor to obtain a more
rapid variation between wiper still (no stroke)
when the windscreen is dry, to wiper at first
continuous speed (slow continuous operation).
The increasing of the rain sensor sensitivity is also
signalled by a stroke of the wipers.
If the windscreen washer is used with the rain
sensor activated, the normal washing cycle is
performed, after which the rain sensor resumes its
normal automatic operation.
Deactivation
Turn the ignition key to STOP.
At the next start-up (key at MAR-ON), the sensor
will not be reactivated even if the stalk is at B
fig. 51. To activate the sensor, move the stalk to
position A or C and then back to position B.
Rain sensor activation will be indicated by at least
one wiper “stroke” even if the windscreen is dry.
Do not activate the rain sensor when
washing the car in an automatic car
wash.Make sure the device is switched off if
there is ice on the windscreen.
WARNING
Make sure the device is switched off
whenever the windscreen is being
cleaned.
REAR WINDOW WASHER/WIPER

❒in intermittent mode when the rear window
wiper is not operating;
❒in synchronous mode (at half the speed of the
windscreen wiper) when the windscreen wiper
is operating;
❒in continuous mode with reverse gear engaged
and the control active.
