Rain sensor shall be de-
activated when washing
the car at automatic car-
wash.
Make sure the rain sen-
sor is deactivated if
there is ice on the wind-
screen.
Removing the electronic key from the
ignition device, the rain sensor is deac-
tivated and the next time the engine is
started it will not be reactivated even if
the stalk has remained in position 1-
fig. 43. In this case to activate the rain
sensor, simply move the stalk to 0 or 2
and then back to 1.
When the rain sensor is reactivated in
this way, the wiper performs one stroke,
even if the windscreen is dry, to indicate
that reactivation has occurred.
IMPORTANT In the event of rain sen-
sor failure, windscreen wiper operation
with right-hand stalk at 1-fig. 43 is in-
termittent. If failure takes place during
automatic operation, the system will
keep the last wiper operating condition.
Moving the stalk to other positions, op-
eration is however guaranteed.
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.
Failure warnings
Sensor failure is indicated by a dedicat-
ed message on the display (see section
“Warning lights and messages”).
