These come into operation when the wind-

screen washer is turned on with the
dipped/main beam headlights on.

IMPORTANT On certain versions when

the headlamp washer is operating, the cli-
mate control system automatically engages
inside air re-circulation, to prevent the smell
of liquid detergent from entering the pas-
senger compartment.

At each start, the rain sensor automatically

stabilises at a temperature of about 40°C
to eliminate any condensation from the con-
trol surface and prevent the formation of ice.

The rain sensor is able to detect and au-

tomatically adapt to the presence of the fol-
lowing particular conditions which require
different sensitivity:

– impurities on the control surface (salt,

dirt, etc.);

– streaks of water caused by worn wiper

blades;

– difference between day and night (the

human eye is more disturbed during the
night by the wet glass surface).

Pushing the lever towards the dashboard

(unstable position) operates the rearscreen
washer jet and continous operation of the
rearscreen wiper. Operation ends when the
lever is released.

Turning the knurled ring (

A) from position

O to position ' operates the rearscreen

wiper intermittently.

The activation of the rear windshield wiper

occurs also with the front windshield wipe
on and reverse gear inserted.
