2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio ignition

The sensor has an adjustment range that
varies progressively from wiper still (no
stroke) when the windshield is dry, to
wiper at continuous speed (fast
operation) with intense rain.
Activation
Rotating the wiper switch to position
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
orposition.
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.
If the windshield washer is used with the
rain sensor activated, the normal washing
cycle is performed, after which the rain
sensor resumes its normal automatic
operation.
Note: Keep the glass in the sensor area
clean.
Deactivation
Use the wiper switch or cycle the ignition
to STOP mode.
In the event of malfunction of the rain
sensor while it is active, the windshield
wiper operates intermittently at a speed
consistent with the sensitivity setting of
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
or. The failure
indication remains on for as long as the
sensor is active.
The rain sensor is able to recognize and
automatically adjust itself in the
presence of the following conditions:
Presence of dirt on the controlled
surface (e.g. salt, dirt, etc.).
Presence of streaks of water caused
by the worn window wiper blades.
Difference between day and night.
Rear Window Wiper/Washer
Shifting the vehicle into REVERSE with
the windshield wiper operating, activates
a single cycle of the rear window wiper.
Activation of the rear window
wiper/washer can be done by moving the
stalk to one of the following positions:
Pushing the stalk towards the
instrument panel activates the rear
window washer (a brief push activates
one washing cycle, keeping the stalk
pushed washes continuously until the
stalk is released).
Pushing the stalk downward
activates/deactivates continuous rear
wiper operation.
HEADLAMP WASHERS
The windshield wiper stalk operates the
headlight washers when the ignition is in
the ON position and the headlights are
turned on. The windshield wiper stalk is
located on the right side of the steering
column. To use the headlight washers, pull
the stalk toward you and release it. The
headlight washers will spray a timed
high-pressure spray of washer fluid onto
each headlight lens. In addition, the
windshield washers will spray the
windshield and the windshield wipers will
cycle.

POWER WINDOWS
Power Window Switches
The power window switches work with
the ignition in the ON position and for
three minutes after the ignition has been
placed in the STOP position. When one of
the front doors is opened, this operation
is disabled.
Driver Side Front Door Controls
The switches are located on the door
panel trim. All windows can be controlled
from the driver side door panel.Window Opening
Push the buttons to open the desired
window.
Each button has two position steps.
Press gently (first position step) for
manual "burst" window travel, while
pressing the same button harder (second
position step) activates "continuous
automatic" operation.
If the button is pressed again, the window
will stop in the desired position.
Window Closing
Pull the window to the first detent to
move the window upward. Pull the
window to the second detent, and the
window will go up automatically.
To Stop the window during Auto-UP

which operate the door windows.Auto-Up Feature With Anti-Pinch
Protection
The vehicle may be equipped with an
anti-pinch safety device for closing the
windows.
If the safety system senses any obstacle
while the window is closing, it will stop
the window’s movement and reverse it,
depending on its position.
This device is also useful if the windows
are activated accidentally by children on
board the vehicle.
The anti-pinch safety function is
activated both during the manual and the
automatic operation of the window.
When the anti-pinch system is activated,
the window closing is immediately
interrupted. Then the window closing is
automatically reversed and the window
lowers by about eight inches (20 cm) in
relation to the first stop position. The
window cannot be operated during this
time.
Note:
In the event of an error, or if the
anti-pinch protection is activated three
consecutive times, the automatic closing
operation of the window will be
deactivated. In order to restore the
correct operation of the system, the
window must be lowered.

different devices that activate garage
doors, gates, lighting systems, and home
or office alarm systems.
Programming
Warning!
Vehicle exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a dangerous gas. Do not run your
vehicle in the garage while programming the
transceiver. Exhaust gas can cause serious
injury or death.
Your motorized door or gate will open and
close while you are programming the
universal transceiver. Do not program the
transceiver if people, pets or other objects
are in the path of the door or gate. Only use
this transceiver with a garage door opener
that has a “stop and reverse” feature as
required by Federal safety standards. This
includes most garage door opener models
manufactured after 1982. Do not use a
garage door opener without these safety
features. Call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 or,

portable remote control. The vehicle
must be within the range of the garage
door and the ignition must be in the ON
position.
Push the programmed button (1, 2 or 3).
While the signal is being transmitted, the
indicator is lit and the system (garage
door, gate, etc.) will respond. If the HomeLink system does not
operate, the original portable remote
control may be equipped with an
alternative code (refer to “Alternative
Code Synchronization”).
If necessary, the original remote control
can still be used to operate the system.
Alternative Code Synchronization
To check whether the garage door or gate
motor has an alternative code, proceed
as follows:
1. Read the garage door or gate motor
manufacturer manual.
2. The portable remote control seems to
have programmed to the HomeLink
system, but the garage door or gate can
be neither opened or closed.
3. Push the programmed button and
keep it pushed (1, 2 or 3). With an
alternative code system, the indicator
flashes briefly, and then remains off for
two seconds. This sequence is repeated
for 20 seconds.
