At each start the rain sensor automati-

cally (in about 2 minutes) stabilises at a

temperature of about 40°C to eliminate

any condensation from the control surface

and prevent the formation of ice.

The rain sensor is capable of detecting

and adapting automatically to the pres-

ence of the following particular conditions

which call for different sensitivity:

– impurities on the control surface

(saline deposits, dirt, etc.)

– streaks of water caused by partial

wear of the windscreen wiper

– difference between day and night

(the human eye is more disturbed during

the night by a wet windscreen surface.

Headlight washer (fig. 75)

(optional for versions/markets where

applicable)

These are operated when the low beam

headlights are on and the windscreen

washer is switched on.

Windscreen washer (fig. 74)

The windscreen washer is operated by

pulling the lever towards the steering

wheel.

Keeping the lever pulled the windscreen

wiper is turned on continuously. When

the lever is released the wiper continues

for a few strokes and then stops or con-

tinues at the speed set.
