This is located behind the interior
rear-view mirror fig. 33, in contact with
the windscreen and can measure the
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.

system and rotating the ring nut A
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

Important notesThe system has not been designed
to prevent impacts and cannot detect
possible conditions leading to an
accident in advance. Failure to take into
account this warning may lead to
serious or fatal injuries.
The system may be activated,
assessing the trajectory of the car, in
case of reflecting metal objects different
from other cars, such as safety barriers,
road signs, barriers before parking lots,
toll-gates, level crossings, gates,
railways, objects near road
constructions sites or higher than the
car (e.g. a flyover). In the same way, the
system may intervene inside
multi-storey car parks or tunnels, or due
to a glare on the road surface. These
possible activations follow the normal
operating logic of the system and must
not be regarded as faults.
The system has been designed for
road use only. If the car is driven
off-road, the system must be
deactivated, to avoid unnecessary
warnings. Automatic deactivation is
signalled by the dedicated warning
light/icon switching on in the instrument
panel (see the instructions in the
"Warning lights and messages"
paragraph, "Knowing the instrument
panel" chapter).
TPMS (Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System)
62) 63) 64) 65) 66) 67)
Description
The car can be equipped with the
iTPMS (indirect Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System) which monitors the
tyre inflation status thanks to wheel
speed sensors.
Correct tyre pressure
If no under-inflated tyres are detected,
the outline of the car will be shown on
the display.
Low tyre pressure
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by switching on the
warning light on the instrument
panel and a warning message on the
display, along with an acoustic signal.This warning is displayed also when
turning the engine off and on again until
the RESET procedure is carried out.
Reset procedure
The iTPMS needs an initial
"self-learning" phase (with length
depending on the driving style and road
conditions: optimal conditions being
driving on a straight road at 80 km/h for
at least 20 minutes) which starts when
the RESET procedure is carried out
manually.
The RESET procedure must be carried
out:
each time tyre pressure is modified;
when even only one tyre is changed;
when tyres are rotated/inverted;
when the space-saver wheel is fitted.
Before carrying out the RESET
procedure, inflate the tyres to the rated
pressure values specified in the inflation
pressure table (see "Wheels" paragraph
in the "Technical specifications"
chapter).
If the RESET procedure is not carried
out, in all above cases, the
warning
light may give false indications on one
or more tyres.
To carry out the RESET procedure, with
the vehicle stopped and the ignition
device at MAR, use the Main Menu as
follows:
