Windshield Wipers and Washers Control
The right multifunction lever controls windshield wiper and washer operation. This operates only with the ignition device at ON.
WARNING!
- Do not start the windshield washer during the cold months until the windshield has warmed up. If it has not warmed up, the liquid could freeze on the glass and block your view.
- Sudden loss of visibility through the windshield could lead to a collision. You might not see other vehicles or other obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the windshield during freezing weather, warm the windshield with the defroster before and during windshield washer use.
CAUTION!
- Never use the windshield wiper to remove layers of snow or ice from the windshield glass. In such conditions, the windshield wiper may be subjected to excessive stress and the motor cut-out switch, which prevents operation for a few seconds, may intervene. If operation is not subsequently restored, even after restarting the engine, contact an Authorized Maserati Dealer.
- In cold weather, always turn off the windshield wiper control and allow the wiper to return to the park position before turning off the engine. If the wiper control is left on and the wiper freeze to the windshield, the wiper motor may be damaged when the vehicle is restarted.
- Always remove any buildup of snow that prevents the windshield wiper blade from returning to the off position. If the windshield wiper control is turned off and the blade cannot return to the off position, the wiper motor may be damaged
- Do not operate the windshield wiper with the blade lifted from the windshield glass.
- Make sure the windshield wiper and washer device is turned off if there i ice on the windshield glass.
- Make sure the windshield wiper and washer device is turned off whenever the windshield glass must be cleaned.
Operation of Control
The ring on the lever can be set to the following positions:
windshield wiper off;
rotating the ring to the second position activates the second sensitivity level of the rain sensor;
rotating the ring to the third position activates the first continuous speed level of the windshield wipers in manual mode;
rotating the ring to the fourth position activates the second continuous speed level of the windshield wipers in manual mode.
Move the right multifunction lever upwards (unstable position) to activate the MIST function: its operation is limited to the time for which the lever is held in this position. When released, the lever will return to its default position and the windshield wiper automatically stop. This function is useful to remove small deposits of dust from the windshield, or morning dew.
NOTE:
MIST function does not activate the windshield washer; windshield washer fluid will not therefore be sprayed onto the windshield. To spray windshield washer fluid onto the windshield, the washing function must be used.
With ring in position or , the windshield wiper will automatically adapt its operating speed to the speed of the car.
“Smart washing” Function Pull the right multifunction lever towards the steering wheel (unstable position) to operate the windshield washer. Keep the lever pulled to activate both the windshield washer
jet and the windshield wiper with a single movement; the latter turns on automatically. The windshield wiper stops working three strokes after the lever is released. A further stroke after approx. 6
seconds completes the wiping cycle.
Rain Sensor Operation
The rain sensor is located behind the interior rear view mirror, in contact with the windshield and can detect the presence of rain and, consequently, manage the cleaning of the windshield in accordance with the amount of water on the windshield.
The sensor has an adjustment range which varies progressively from wiper still (no stroke) when the windshield is dry, to wiper at 2nd continuous speed (fast continuous operation) with intense rain. Positions
correspond to sensitivity level 1 and 2 of the rain sensor.
Activation
Turn the ring of the right multifunction lever to position or
The activation of the sensor is signaled by a flick of the wiper (indicating that the command has been acquired).
The variation in sensitivity during rain sensor operation is also signaled by a flick of the wiper (command acquired and implemented). This stroke is also executed with the windshield dry.
If the windshield washer is used with the rain sensor activated, the normal washing cycle is performed, after which the rain sensor resumes its normal automatic operation.
CAUTION!
- Keep the glass in the sensor area clean.
- With the windshield wiper ring turned to the or position, wiping operates automatically and is disabled when the outside temperature is below 32 °F (0 °C).
- Use on the windshield of RainX® or products containing wax or silicone may reduce rain sensor performance.
Deactivation
Use ring of the right multifunction lever or place the ignition device in STOP position.
In the event of malfunction of the rain sensor whilst it is active,
the windshield wiper operates intermittently at a speed consistent with the sensitivity setting of the rain sensor, regardless of whether there is rain on the glass, while sensor failure is indicated on the display (see “Warning and Indicator Lights” in this section).
The sensor continues to operate and it is possible to set the windshield wiper to continuous mode
The failure indication remains for as long as the rain sensor is active. The rain sensor is able to recognize, and automatically adjust itself in the presence of the following conditions:
- presence of dirt on the controlled surface (e.g. salt, dirt, etc.);
- presence of streaks of water caused by the worn window wiper blade;
- difference between day and night. Headlights On with Wiper
When activating this function, the headlights will light up approximately 10 seconds after the wiper is turned on if the lights switch is placed in “AUTO” position.
In addition, the headlights switch off
when the wiper is turned off (position ” “) if it was previously turned by using this function. Powering on headlights with wiper can be activated and deactivated with the MIA system, see “Customer Programmable Functions” in this section ” for further information.
