with the rain sensor enabled, a smart
washing cycle is carried out, without
the additional stroke after 5 seconds;
once completed, the sensor resumes its
regular automatic operation. “Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) to operate
the windscreen washer.
Keeping the stalk pulled for more
than half a second, with just one
movement it is possible to operate the
washer jet and the wiper at the same
time.
When releasing the stalk, the jet stops
immediately, while the wiper carries
out another four strokes.
A further stroke after 6 seconds com-
pletes the wiping operation. Do not use the windscreen
wiper to remove layers of
snow or ice from the wind-
screen. In such conditions,
the windscreen wiper may be sub-
jected to excessive stress and the mo-
tor protection which prevents opera-
tion for a few seconds may trip. If the
issue persists, contact the Lancia
Dealership.

WINDSCREEN/

WIPERS
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part us-
ing special products; TUTELA PRO-
FESSIONAL SC 35is recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge
is deformed or worn. In all cases, it is
advisable to replace them approxi-
mately once a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce
the possibility of damage to the
blades:
❒make sure that the rubber part is
not stuck to the windscreen at sub-
zero temperatures. Use an an-
tifreeze product to release it if re-
quired.
❒remove the snow from the win-
dow: this will avoid overstressing
the electrical motor in addition to
protecting the blades;
❒do not operate the windscreen
and the rear screen wipers on dry
glass.
Driving with worn wiper
blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
WARNINGInstructions for fitting the blade:
❒fit pin Cinto the hole loacted in
the middle of the blade B;
❒refit the arm with the blade on the
windscreen.
Changing the rear
window blade fig. 15
Proceed as follows:
❒raise the cover Aand remove the
arm from the car, slackening the
nutBthat fastens it to the pivot
pin;
❒fit the new arm, positioning it cor-
rectly, and fully tighten the nut;
❒lower the cover.
