(in the different pos itions) timed with the winds creen
wiper, but at half speed. With the wind screen wiper on,
engaging revers e gear will automaticall y turn the rear win-
dow wiper on, in continuou s s low operation. Operation
s tops when revers e is dis engaged.
Do not use the windscreen or rear window
wiper to remove layers of snow or ice from
the windscreen. In such conditions, the wiper
may be subjected to excessive stress and the motor
protection, which prevents operation for a few sec-
onds, may intervene. If rear window wiper opera-
tion is not reset, contact a Lancia Dealership.

RAIN SENS OR
(for vers ions/markets where provided)
The rain s ensor A - fig. 35 i s located behind the internal
rear view mirror in contact with the wind screen and au-
tomatically adjusts the frequenc y of the winds creen wiper
s trokes according to the rain intens ity during intermittent
operation.
The sens or has an adjus tment range that varie s progres -
s ively from wiper s till (no stroke) when the wind screen
i s dry , to wiper at firs t continuous s peed (s low continu-
ou s operation) with inten se rain.

Activation
Move the right lever down b y one click.
The activation of the sens or is s ignalled by a “stroke” to
s how that the command ha s been acquired.
IMPORTANT Keep the gla ss in the sensor area clean.
B y turning ring nut F - fig. 34 it i s possible to increas e the
s ens itivity of the rain sens or to obtain a more rapid vari-
ation between wiper s till (no stroke) when the winds creen
i s dry , to wiper at firs t continuous s peed (s low continu-

Deactivation
Turn the ignition key to S TOP.
The next time the vehicle i s s tarted (ignition ke y turned
to MAR), the sens or is not reactivated even if the lever i s
still in po sition B - fig. 34. To activate the sensor, move
the lever to pos ition A or C and then back to po sition B.
Rain sens or activation will be indicated b y at lea st one
wiper “s troke” even if the winds creen is dry.CRUISE CONTROL
(constant speed regulator)
(for vers ions/markets , where provided)
This is an electronicall y controlled driving a ssistance de-
vice which allow s the vehicle to be driven at a cho sen speed
above 30 km/h on long stretches of dry, straight roads with
few variations (e.g. motorwa ys), without having to depre ss
the accelerator pedal.
It i s therefore not recommended to u se this device on ex-
tra-urban roads with traffic. Do not u se it in town.
A CTIVATING THE DEVIC E
Turn selector wheel A - fig. 36 to ON.
The device mus t only be switched on in gears higher
than 4th.
Do not activate the rain sensor when wash-
ing the car in an automatic car wash.
Make sure the device is switched off if there
is ice on the windscreen.
Make sure the device is switched off whenev-
er the windscreen is being cleaned.

When travelling downhill with the device engaged, the ve-
hicle speed may slightly exceed the pres et one.
The engagement of the device is s ignalled by the Üwarn-
ing light coming on in the in strument panel (together with
a message shown on the di splay ) (see “Ins trument panel
warning light s” paragraph).
S TORING THE C AR SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❍ turn the ring nut A - fig. 36 to ON and press the ac-
celerator pedal until the vehicle reaches the desired
s peed;
❍ turn the ring nut to (+) for at lea st three s econds, then
relea se it. The vehicle speed is now memoris ed and you
can therefore releas e the accelerator pedal.
If needed (when overtaking for in stance), you can accel-
erate simply by pre ssing the accelerator pedal; when you
releas e the pedal, the car will r
eturn to the speed memo-
ris ed previous ly .
RES TORING THE MEMORIS ED SPEED
If the device has been switched off, for example by de-
pressing the brake or clutch pedal, the memori sed speed
can be res tored as follows:
❍ accelerate graduall y until reaching a s peed approach-
ing the memori sed speed; ❍
engage the gear selected at the time of s peed memo-
ris ing (fourth, fifth or sixth gear);
❍ press button C - fig. 36.
INC REAS ING THE MEMORIS ED SPEED
This can be done in two wa ys:
❍ by pressing the accelerator and then memori sing the
new speed reached;
or
❍ by temporaril y turning ring nut B - fig. 36 to (+).
Each movement of the selector wheel will corres pond to
a slight incr
ease in s peed (about 1 km/h), while keeping
the selector wheel turned will corre spond to a continu-
ous speed increas e.
REDUC ING THE MEMORIS ED SPEED
This can be done in two wa ys:
❍ by dis engaging the device and then memoris ing the
new speed;
or
❍ by keeping ring nut B - fig. 36 turned to (–) until the
new speed is reached; it will then be memori sed auto-
matically .
Each movement of the ring nut will corre spond to a re-
duction in s peed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the ring
nut turned will corres pond to a continuous reduction in
s peed.
