Operation in position Eis limited to
the time during which the lever is
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.

❒park the car in covered, dry and if
possible well-ventilated premises;
❒engage a gear;
❒check that the handbrake is not
engaged;
❒disconnect the negative battery
terminal and check battery charge.

ber windscreen and rear window
wiper blades and lift them off the
glass;
❒slightly open the windows;
❒cover the car with a fabric or per-
forated plastic terrapin. Do not use
compact plastic sheets which do not
allow humidity to evaporate from

BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part us-
ing special products; TUTELA PRO-
FESSIONAL SC 35is recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge
is deformed or worn. In all cases, it is
advisable to replace them approxi-
mately once a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce
the possibility of damage to the
blades:
❒make sure that the rubber part is
not stuck to the windscreen at sub-
zero temperatures. Use an an-
tifreeze product to release it if re-
quired.
❒remove the snow from the win-
dow: this will avoid overstressing
the electrical motor in addition to
protecting the blades;
❒do not operate the windscreen and
rear window wipers on dry glass.
Driving with worn wiper
blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
WARNINGHow to insert the blade:
❒insert the pin Cin the hole in the
middle of the blade B;
❒refit the arm with the blade on the
windscreen.
Replacing the rear window
blade fig. 17
Proceed as follows:
❒lift the cover Aand remove the
arm from the car, loosen the nut
Bwhich fastens it to the rotating
pin;
❒position the new arm correct and
tighten the nut;
❒lower the cover.
