WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE DESCRIPTION

Description

The windscreen wash/wipe system is activated by the lever located on the right of the steering wheel, with the following functions: there are five possible positions for the lever, turning it in a clockwise direction, corresponding to:

• windscreen wiper off (stationary);
• automatic operation;
• continuous slow operation;
• continuous fast operation;
• "antipanic" temporary fast operation (unstable position, turning the lever in an anti-clockwise direction).

In the automatic operation position, thanks to the rain sensor, the frequency of the windscreen wiper strokes can be adapted to suit the intensity of the rain. The frequency of the windscreen wiper strokes is automatically adjusted depending on the amount of water on the windscreen detected by the sensor: the frequency varies continuously from nil (no stroke - windscreen dry) to wiping at the second continuous speed (heavy rain)

Activating the windscreen washers with the rain sensor activated produces the normal washing cycle at the end of which the rain sensor resumes its normal automatic operation.

The windscreen washer function can be activated by pulling the lever toward the steering wheel: this activates the windscreen washer pump: keeping the lever pulled switches on the windscreen wiper for a three stroke cycle.

A check on the functions described above is carried out by the body computer node which produces the intermittent function, controls the operation of the windscreen wiper motor and the windscreen washer pump and manages the rain sensor.

The windscreen wiper and the windscreen washer can be activated with the key in position M.

To facilitate maintenance, with the ignition key in position S or extracted, if the lever is turned downwards within 60 seconds, the windscreen wipers assume a vertical position and stop; they can be raised to replace the blades or for cleaning.

If the windscreen wiper is activated, the lights come on automatically if this device is switched on.
