WINDOW CLEANINGThe right stalk controls windscreen wiper/washer
and heated rear window wiper/washer operation.
WINDSCREEN WASHER/WIPER
They can be operated only with the ignition key
turned to MAR.
The ring nut A fig. 35 can be moved to four
different positions:
windscreen wiper off.intermittent operation.continuous slow operation.continuous fast operation.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 car.
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.

Deactivation
Move the stalk ring nut away from the position
or turn the ignition key to STOP.
If the ignition key is turned to the STOP position
leaving the ring nut A in position
, no wiping
cycle is performed at the next startup (ignition key
to the MAR position) even if rain is present. This
prevents unwanted activation of the rain sensor
when the engine is started (i.e. when the
windscreen is being washed by hand or the wipers
are stuck to the windscreen by ice).
To restore automatic operation of the rain sensor,
turn ring nut A from
position to
position
and then turn the ring nut back to the
position.
When the rain sensor is reactivated using any of
the manoeuvres described above, reactivation
is indicated by a single stroke of the windscreen
wipers, regardless of the condition of the
windscreen.If the sensitivity is changed whilst the rain sensor
is operating, a windscreen wiper stroke is carried
out to confirm the change even if the windscreen
is dry.
In the event of malfunction of the rain sensor
whilst it is active, the windscreen wiper operates
intermittently at a speed consistent with the
sensitivity setting of the rain sensor, regardless of
whether there is rain on the glass (on some
versions sensor failure is indicated on the display).
The sensor continues to operate and it is possible
to set the windscreen wiper to continuous mode
(1
stor 2
nd
speed). The failure indication remains
for as long as the sensor is active.

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

whenever the windscreen must be
cleaned.REAR WINDOW WASHER/ WIPER
It can be operated only with the ignition key
turned to MAR.
Activation
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.
