This allows the passenger
compartment to be heated more
quickly in cold weather conditions. The
additional heater turns off automatically
after the required comfort conditions
are achieved.
Automatic dual zone
climate control system
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The additional heater activates

too low.
IMPORTANT
2) The climate control system
detects the passenger
compartment temperature with a
mean radiant temperature sensor
fitted in a cover under the internal
rear view mirror. Obstructing the
field of view of this sensor with
any object could cause the
climate control system to operate
with less than optimal efficiency

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 Setup
Menu: the greater the sensitivity, the
less external light is required to activate
the external lights.Activation
The dusk sensor activates when ring
nut A fig. 31 is turned to
. In this
way the side lights and dipped beam
headlights are activated automatically
according to the external lighting
conditions.
IMPORTANT The sensor is unable to

WINDOW CLEANING
IN BRIEF
The right stalk controls screen
wiper/washer operation.
This operates only with the ignition
key turned to MAR.
WINDSCREEN
WASHER/WIPER
Operation
13) 14)
Ring nut A fig. 32 has the following
positions:Owindscreen wipers off;
intermittent operation (low
speed);
AUTO
rain sensor activation (for
versions/markets, where
provided) (the windscreen wipers
adapt the operating speed
automatically to suit the intensity
of the rain)intermittent operation;continuous slow operation;continuous fast operation.
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.
"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 to
operate the windscreen washer jet and
wiper automatically with a single
movement.
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 infrared LED sensor fitted
on the car windscreen fig. 33.
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. 32 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
nd
constant speed operation (heavy
rain - windscreen wet).

The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be
adjusted through the Setup menu
(see paragraph “Menu Items” in the
“Knowing the instrument panel”
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. 32 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
nd
speed).
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. 32 from positionO
to 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.
WARNING
13) Do not use the screen 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 cut-out
switch, which prevents operation
for a few seconds, may intervene.
If operation is not restored (even
after restarting that car with the
key), contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
14) Do not operate the windscreen
wiper with the blades lifted from
the windscreen.
