Ring nut A fig. 31 can be set to the
following positions:
windscreen wiper offslow intermittent operationfast intermittent operation
LOW
slow continuous operation
HIGH
fast continuous operation.Move the stalk upwards (unstable
position) to activate the MIST function:
operation is limited to the time for which
the stalk is held in this position. When
released, the stalk will return to its
default position and the windscreen
wiper will be stopped. This function is
useful to remove small deposits of dust
from the windscreen, or morning dew.
IMPORTANT This function does not
activate the windscreen washer;
windscreen washer fluid will not
therefore be sprayed onto the
windscreen. To spray windscreen
washer fluid onto the windscreen, the
washing function must be used.
With ring nut A fig. 31 in
or
position, the windscreen wiper
will automatically adapt its operating
speed to the speed of the vehicle.
"Smart washing" functionPull the lever towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) to operate the
windscreen washer.
Keep the stalk pulled to activate both
the windscreen washer jet and the
windscreen wiper with a single
movement; the latter turns on
automatically.The windscreen wiper stops working
three strokes after the stalk is released.
The cycle is completed, after about 6
seconds, by a final cleaning stroke
of the windscreen wipers.
RAIN SENSOR(where provided)
This is located behind the interior rear
view mirror, in contact with the
windscreen fig. 32 and can detect the
presence of rain and, consequently,
manage the cleaning of the windscreen
in accordance with the amount of
water on the screen.Activation

By acting on the display menu or on the
Uconnect™system you can
activate/deactivate the rain sensor.
