AUTOMATIC LIGHTING CONTROL
(AUTOLIGHT) (Dusk sensor)(for versions/markets, where provided)
This infrared LED sensor, combined with the rain sensor and located on
the windscreen, detects the variations in outside brightness depending
on the light sensitivity set with the Set-up Menu: the greater the
sensitivity, the less external light is required to activate the exterior
lights.Activation
The dusk sensor activates when ring nut A fig. 39 is turned to
.In
this way the side lights and dipped headlights are activated
automatically according to the external light level.
IMPORTANT The sensor is unable to detect the presence of fog.
Therefore under these circumstances, these lights must be turned on
manually.
When the lights are turned on by the sensor, the fog lights (for
versions/markets, where provided) and the rear fog lights may be
turned on.
When the lights are automatically switched off, the front and rear fog
lights (if activated) are also switched off. The next time the lights are
switched on automatically, the fog lights must be reactivated manually
(if required).
With the sensor active, it is possible to flash the headlights but the
main beam headlights cannot be switched on. If you need to turn these
lights on, turn ring nut A to position
and turn the dipped
headlights on.
When the lights have been activated automatically and are then
switched off by the sensor, the dipped beam headlights are switched
off first, followed by the side lights a few seconds later.
If the sensor is activated but is malfunctioning, the side lights and
dipped beam headlights are switched on irrespective of the outside
light level and the sensor failure is indicated on the instrument panel
display.
It is also possible to deactivate the sensor and switch on these lights if
necessary.

Move the stalk upwards (unstable position) to limit operation to the
time for which the stalk is held in this position. When released, the
stalk will return to its default position and the wiper will be
automatically stopped.
Do not use the windscreen wiper to remove layers of
snow or ice from the windscreen. In such conditions,
the windscreen wiper may be subjected to excessive
stress and the motor protection, which prevents operation for a
few seconds, may intervene. If operation is not restored, even
after turning the key and restarting the engine, contact Alfa
Romeo Authorized Services.Do not operate the windscreen wiper with the blades
lifted from the windscreen.
"Smart washing" function
Pull the lever towards the steering wheel (unstable position) to operate
the windscreen washer. Keep the stalk pulled for more than half a
second, with just one movement, to operate windscreen washer/wiper
jet at the same time.
The wiper stops working three strokes after the stalk is released.
A further stroke after approximately 6 seconds completes the cycle.
RAIN SENSOR(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is an infra-red LED sensor fitted on the car windscreen fig. 41.
It is able to detect the presence of rain and consequently manage
windscreen wiping in accordance with the amount of water on the
windscreen.
Activation
The sensor is activated when ring nut A fig. 40 is turned to “automatic”
position (“AUTO” control): the windscreen wiper stroke frequency is
thus adjusted in accordance with the amount of water on the
windscreen.
This frequency can vary from no stroke (no rain - windscreen dry) up
to the 2
ndconstant speed operation (heavy rain - windscreen wet).
The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be adjusted through the Set-up
menu (see paragraph “Menu Items” in this section).

If the engine is stopped with the lever in “automatic” position, when it
is next started no wiping cycle will take place even if it is raining.
This prevents accidental activation of the rain sensor when the engine
is started (e.g. when the windscreen is being washed by hand or
the wipers are stuck to the windscreen when there is ice).
To restore automatic operation of the rain sensor, turn the ring nut on
the right stalk A fig. 40 from automatic position (AUTO) toOposition
and then turn A ring nut back to the AUTO position.
When the rain sensor is reactivated using any of the manoeuvres
described above, reactivation is indicated by a single stroke of the
windscreen wipers, regardless of the condition of the windscreen.
If the sensitivity is changed whilst the rain sensor is operating, a
windscreen wiper stroke is carried out to confirm the change.
In the event of malfunction of the rain sensor whilst it is active, the
windscreen wiper operates intermittently at a speed consistent with the
sensitivity setting of the rain sensor, regardless of whether there is
rain on the glass (sensor failure is indicated on the display).
The sensor continues to operate and it is possible to set the windscreen
wiper to continuous mode (1
stor 2
ndspeed). The failure indication
remains for as long as the sensor is active.
REAR WINDOW WASHER/WIPER(for versions/markets, where provided)
Activation
This operates only with the ignition key turned to MAR.
Turn ring nut B fig. 40 from positionOto position
to operate the
rear window wiper as follows:
❒in intermittent mode when the windscreen 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.
With reverse gear engaged and windscreen wiper on, the rear
window wiper is activated in continuous mode. Pushing the stalk
towards the dashboard (unstable position) will activate the rear
window washer jet.
Keep the stalk pushed for more than half a second to activate the rear
window wiper as well. Releasing the stalk will activate the smart
washing function, as described for the windscreen wiper.
