least one wiper “stroke” even if the windscreen is dry.
The rain sensor is capable of recognising the difference
between day and night and making the necessary
adjustments automatically. RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets where provided)
The rain sensor is located behind the rear view mirror
in contact with the windscreen and has the purpose of
automatically adjusting the frequency of the windscreen
wiper strokes depending on the intensity of the rain
during intermittent operation.

ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY AND
FUEL CUT OFF SWITCH
The vehicle is fitted with a safety switch that, in the
event of a crash, comes into operation by cutting off the
fuel supply and turning off the engine as a consequence.
When the inertia switch cuts in, this cuts off the fuel
supply and also activates the hazard warning lights, side
lights and courtesy lights while releasing all the doors
and displaying a message; they are deactivated by
pressing button A. An additional safety switch is also
present that is activated in the event of impact to cut off
the electrical supply. In this way, fuel is prevented from
escaping if the pipes are broken as well as the formation
of sparks or electrical discharges following damage to
the vehicle electrical components.
IMPORTANT After an accident, remember to remove
the key from the ignition device to avoid draining the
battery.
If no fuel leaks or damage to vehicle electrical
devices (e.g. headlights) are detected after the impact and the
vehicle is able to set off again, reactivate the automatic fuel
cut off and electrical supply switches (
for versions/markets
where provided)
following the procedure described below.
If, after a crash, you smell fuel or see
leaks from the fuel system, do not reset
the switches to avoid the risk of fire.
WARNING
Reactivating the fuel cut-off switch fig. 85
