Move the stalk upwards (unstable position) to
limit operation to the time for which the stalk is
held in this position. When released, the stalk will
return to its default position and the wiper will
be automatically stopped.
With the ring nut A fig. 35 in position
, the
windscreen wiper will automatically adapt
operating speed to the speed of the vehicle.
With the windscreen wipers operational, if reverse
gear is engaged, the rear window wiper is
automatically activated.
Never use the windscreen wipers to
remove layers of snow or ice from the
windscreen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wipers may be subjected to
excessive stress and the motor protection,
which prevents operation for a few seconds,
may intervene. If operation is not restored
(even after using the key to restart the engine),
contact a Lancia Dealership.Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with the blades lifted from the
windscreen."Smart washing" function
Pull the lever towards the steering wheel (unstable
position) to activate 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.
The wiper stops working three strokes after the
stalk is released.
A further stroke after approximately six seconds
completes the wiping cycle.
RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The rain sensor is located behind the rear view
mirror in contact with the windscreen fig. 36 and
has the purpose of automatically adjusting the
frequency of the windscreen wiper strokes
depending on the intensity of the rain during
intermittent operation.
The sensor has an adjustment range that varies
progressively from wiper still (no stroke) when the
windscreen is dry, to wiper at first continuous
speed (slow continuous operation) with intense
rain.

Activation
Move the right lever down by one click. The
activation of the sensor is signalled by a "stroke"
to show that the command has been acquired.
IMPORTANT Keep the glass in the sensor area
clean.
By turning ring nut B fig. 35 is it possible to
increase the sensitivity of the rain sensor to obtain
a more rapid variation between wiper still (no
stroke) when the windscreen is dry, to wiper
at first continuous speed (slow continuous
operation).
The increasing of the rain sensor sensitivity is also
signalled by a stroke of the wipers.
If the windscreen washer is used with the rain
sensor activated, the normal washing cycle is
performed, after which the rain sensor resumes its
normal automatic operation.Deactivation
Turn the ignition key to STOP. The next time the
vehicle is started (key turned to MAR), the sensor
is not reactivated. To activate the sensor, move
the stalk upwards or downwards and then to
central position. Rain sensor activation will be
indicated by at least one wiper “stroke” even if the
windscreen is dry.
The rain sensor is able to recognise, and
automatically adjust itself in the presence of the
following conditions:
❒presence of dirt on the controlled surface (salt,
dirt, etc.);
❒presence of streaks of water caused by the worn
window wiper blades;
❒difference between day and night.
Do not activate the rain sensor when
washing the car in an automatic car
wash.Make sure the device is switched off if
there is ice on the windscreen.
WARNING
Make sure the device is switched off
whenever the windscreen
must be
cleaned.

Turn the ring nut B fig. 35 from
to
to operate
the rear window wiper as follows:
❒in intermittent mode when the windscreen wiper
is not operating;
❒in synchronous mode (at half the speed of the
windscreen wiper) when the windscreen wiper
is operating;
❒in continuous mode with reverse gear engaged
and the control active.
With the windscreen wiper on and reverse gear
engaged, rear window wiping will be continuous.
Pushing the stalk towards the dashboard
(unstable position) the rear window washer jet
will activate. Keep the stalk pushed for more than
half a second to activate the rear window wiper
as well. Releasing the stalk will activate the smart
washing function, as described for the windscreen
wiper.Deactivation
The function stops when the stalk is released.
Do not use the rear window wiper to
remove layers of snow or ice. In these
conditions, the windscreen wipers may
be submitted to excessive effort resulting in
the motor protection cutting in and wiper
operation being inhibited for a few seconds. If
operation is not restored, contact a Lancia
Dealership.

Increasing the stored speed
This can be carried out in two ways:
❒by pressing the accelerator and storing the new
speed reached
or
❒by moving the stalk upwards (+).
Each movement of the stalk corresponds to an
increase in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping
the stalk held upwards will continuously increase
the speed.
Decreasing the stored speed
This can be carried out in two ways:
❒by deactivating the device and then storing the
new speed;
or
❒by moving the stalk downwards (-) until the
new speed, which will be stored automatically, is
reached.
Each movement of the lever corresponds to a
reduction in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping
the stalk held downwards will decrease the speed
continuously.
Deactivating the device
The device can be deactivated by the driver in the
following ways:
❒by turning ring nut A to the OFF position❒by stopping the engine
❒by pressing the brake pedal, the clutch or the
accelerator; in this last case the system is not
effectively deactivated but gives priority to the
acceleration request. The device still remains
active, without the need to press the RES button
to return to the previous condition once
acceleration is concluded.
Automatic deactivation
The device deactivates automatically in the
following cases:
❒if the ABS or ESC systems intervene
❒with the car speed below the set limit
❒in the event of system failure.
WARNING
When travelling with the device
active, never move
the gear lever to
neutral.
