The feature is especially useful for road
splash or over spray from the windshield
washers of the vehicle ahead. Rotate the
end of the multifunction lever to one of
four settings to activate this feature.
The sensor has an adjustment range that
varies progressively from wiper still

oractivates the rain sensor.
The activation of the rain sensor system
is done by tapping the wiper stalk
upwards while the switch is in the

The variation in sensitivity during rain
sensor operation is also signaled by a
stroke of the wiper (command acquired
and implemented). This stroke is also
executed with the windshield dry.

rain sensor activated, the normal washing
cycle is performed, after which the rain
sensor resumes its normal automatic
operation.

the rain sensor, whether or not there is
rain on the glass for as long as the sensor
failure is indicated on the display.
The sensor continues to operate and it is
possible to set the windshield wiper to
continuous mode
