kept in that position manually. When
released, the stalk will return to posi-
tionAand the wiper will be automat-
ically stopped.
IMPORTANT Replace wiper blades as
specified in the “Maintenance and
care” chapter. RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The rain sensor is located behind the
driving mirror in contact with the
windscreen and has the purpose of
automatically adjusting 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 stalk down by one
click.
The activation of the rain sensor is
signalled by a control acquisition
flick.
Turn the ring F-fig. 71to increase the
rain sensor sensitivity.
The increase of the sensitivity of the
rain sensor is signalled by a control
and acquisition flick.
The smart cycle is started when the
windscreen wiper is turned on while
the rain sensor is active without sup-
plementary flick after 5 seconds. The
sensor will resume normal automatic
operation. “Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) to operate
the windscreen washer.
Keeping the stalk pulled for more
than half a second, with just one
movement it is possible to operate the
washer jet and the wiper at the same
time.
The jet will be released immediately
when the wiper stops after four flicks.
A further stroke after 5 seconds com-
pletes the wiping operation. Do not use the windscreen
wiper to remove layers of
snow or ice from the wind-
screen. In such conditions,
the windscreen wiper may be sub-
jected to excessive stress and the
motor protection which prevents op-
eration for a few seconds may trip.
If rear window wiper operation is
not reset, contact a Lancia Dealer-
ship.
