Headlight washers are visible and are fit-
ted with a nozzle for each external light
function. They come into operation au-
tomatically when operating the wind-
screen washer with external lights
turned on.

IMPORTANT Check at regular inter-
vals correct operation and cleanness of
nozzles.

IMPORTANT In the event of rain sen-
sor failure, windscreen wiper operation
with right-hand stalk at 

1-fig. 54 shall

be intermittent. If failure occurs during
automatic operation, the system will
keep the last wiper operating condition.
Operation is however guaranteed al-
though moving the stalk to other posi-
tions.

The rain sensor is able to recognize and
automatically adjust itself in the pres-
ence of the following particular condi-
tions:
❒ impurities on the controlled surface

(salt, dirt, etc.);

❒ difference between day and night.

On certain versions rain sensor failure is
shown by the instrument panel warning
light 

u, whereas on other versions a

dedicated message is shown on the dis-
play (see section “Warning lights and
messages”).
