USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Each time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are given, these must be understood as
regarding an occupant in the driver's seat.
Special cases not complying with this rule will be specified as appropriate in the text.
The figures in the Owner Handbook are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do
not correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle.
In addition, the Handbook has been conceived considering vehicles with steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible
that on vehicles with steering wheel on the right side, the position or construction of some controls is not exactly mirror-like with
respect to the figure.
To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner Handbook.
Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further there is a key
for getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is in any case a textual indication of the
current chapter at the side of each even page.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
While reading this Owner Handbook you will find a series ofWARNINGSto prevent procedures that could damage your
vehicle.
There are alsoPRECAUTIONSthat must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use of the components of the vehicle,
which could cause accidents or injuries.
Therefore allWARNINGSandPRECAUTIONSmust always be carefully followed.
WARNINGSandPRECAUTIONSare recalled in the text with the following symbols:
personal safety;
vehicle safety;
environmental protection.
NOTE These symbols, when necessary, are indicated besides the title or at the end of the line and are followed by a number.
That number recalls the corresponding warning at the end of the relevant section.

amount of rain and, consequently,
manage the automatic wiping mode of
the windscreen in accordance with the
amount of water on the screen.
The rain sensor will be activated when
the ignition device is turned to MAR. If
no rain is detected, the wiper will not
carry out any strokes. If it is raining, the
windscreen wiper moves according to
the amount of rain measured by the
sensor.The device is able to recognise, and
automatically adjust itself in the
presence of the following conditions:
presence of dirt on the surface (e.g.
salt, dirt, etc.);
presence of streaks of water caused
by the worn window wiper blades;
difference between day and night.
The rain sensor will be deactivated only
when the ignition device is turned to
STOP.
IMPORTANT Keep the glass in the
sensor area clean.

fig. 32 to position
or.These will be used to set the sensitivity
level of the rain sensor: in position
,
the sensor has a lower sensitivity and
the windscreen wipers will activate
when there is a significant amount of
water on the windscreen; while in
position
, the windscreen wipers will
be activated by a minimum amount of
rain measured.
The activation of the automatic wiping
will be notified to the driver by a single
stroke.
The same stroke will be visible every
time the sensor sensitivity is increased,
by rotating the ring nut from position
to position.
The "Smart Washing" function activates
the normal washing cycle, after which
the automatic wiping function is
restored. The failure of the sensor is
indicated by the
symbol lighting up
on the display.
If the rain sensor malfunctions, the
wiper mode can be modified according
to requirements. The malfunction signal
remain active during the operation time
of the sensor or until the device is reset.
