INSTALLATION OF RADIO TRANSMITTINGEQUIPMENTSpecial design considerations are incorporated into thisvehicle’s electronic system to provide immunity to radiofrequency signals. Mobile two-way radios and telephoneequipment must be installed properly by trained person-nel. The following must be observed during installation.

The positive power connection should be made directlyto the battery and fused as close to the battery as possible.The negative power connection should be made to bodysheet metal adjacent to the negative battery connection.This connection should not be fused.

Antennas for two-way radios should be mounted on theroof or the rear area of the vehicle. Care should be usedin mounting antennas with magnet bases. Magnets mayaffect the accuracy or operation of the compass onvehicles so equipped.

The antenna cable should be as short as practical androuted away from the vehicle wiring when possible. Useonly fully shielded coaxial cable.

Carefully match the antenna and cable to the radio toensure a low Standing Wave Ratio (SWR).

Mobile radio equipment with output power greater thannormal may require special precautions.

All installations should be checked for possible interfer-ence between the communications equipment and thevehicle’s electronic systems.

Operation: The switch on the wiperstalk can be set to the followingpositions:

Windshield Wiper Off.Low Sensitivity Rain Sensing.High Sensitivity Rain Sensing.Low Continuous Wiper Speed.High Continuous Wiper Speed.

Windshield Wiper Operation

Rotating the switch to the positionactivates the first (low) level continuousspeed of the windshield wipers in manualmode.Rotating the switch to the positionactivates the second (high) levelcontinuous speed of the windshieldwipers in manual mode.

Rain Sensors

Rotating the switch to the position,activates the first, less sensitive level ofthe Rain Sensing function.Rotating the switch to the position,activates the second, more sensitivelevel of the Rain Sensing function. Referto “Rain Sensor” in this section for moreinformation on how this systemfunctions.

Windshield Washer Operation

Pull the stalk toward the steering wheelto operate the windshield washer.Keep the stalk pulled to activate both thewindshield washer jet and the windshieldwiper with a single movement. The wipersand washers will continue to operate untilyou let go of the stalk.The windshield wiper stops working threestrokes after the stalk is released,followed by a final stroke six secondslater to complete the cycle.

Mist

Use this feature when weatherconditions make occasional usage of thewipers necessary. Push the stalk upwardto the MIST position and release for asingle wiping cycle. This function is usefulto remove small deposits of dust fromthe windshield or morning dew.

Note: This function does not activate thewindshield washer. To spray windshieldwasher fluid onto the windshield, thewashing function must be used.

Warning!

Sudden loss of visibility through thewindshield could lead to a collision. Youmight not see other vehicles or otherobstacles. To avoid sudden icing of thewindshield during freezing weather, warmthe windshield with the defroster before andduring windshield washer use.

Rain SensorThe Rain Sensor is located behind theinterior rear view mirror. This featuresenses moisture on the windshield andautomatically activates the wipers forthe driver.

The feature is especially useful for roadsplash or over spray from the windshieldwashers of the vehicle ahead. Rotate theend of the multifunction lever to one offour settings to activate this feature.The sensor has an adjustment range thatvaries progressively from wiper still (nostroke) when the windshield is dry, towiper at continuous speed (fastoperation) with intense rain.

Activation

Rotating the wiper switch to positionor activates the rain sensor.

The activation of the rain sensor systemis done by tapping the wiper stalkupwards while the switch is in the or

position.The variation in sensitivity during rainsensor operation is also signaled by astroke of the wiper (command acquiredand implemented). This stroke is alsoexecuted with the windshield dry.If the windshield washer is used with therain sensor activated, the normal washingcycle is performed, after which the rainsensor resumes its normal automaticoperation.Note: Keep the glass in the sensor areaclean.

Deactivation

Use the wiper switch or cycle the ignitionto STOP.If the ignition is cycled to the STOPposition and the wiper switch is left in

or position, no wiping cycle willoccur even if it rains when the vehicle isnext started (ignition at ON).This prevents accidental activation of therain sensor when the engine is started(e.g. when the windshield is being washedby hand or the wipers are stuck to thewindshield by ice).You can restore the automaticfunctioning of the rain sensor by tappingthe wiper stalk upwards once the vehiclehas been restarted.When the rain sensor is reactivated usingany of the functions described above,reactivation is indicated by a single tap ofthe windshield wipers, regardless of thecondition of the windshield.In the event of malfunction of the rainsensor while it is active, the windshieldwiper operates intermittently at a speedconsistent with the sensitivity setting ofthe rain sensor, whether or not there israin on the glass for as long as the sensorfailure is indicated on the display.

The sensor continues to operate and it ispossible to set the windshield wiper tocontinuous mode or . The failureindication remains on for as long as thesensor is active.The rain sensor is able to recognize andautomatically adjust itself in thepresence of the following conditions:

Presence of dirt on the controlledsurface (e.g. salt, dirt, etc.).

Presence of streaks of water causedby the worn window wiper blades.

Difference between day and night.

Air Recirculation And Air QualitySystem (AQS)Air Recirculation is managed according tothe following operating mode:

Automatic engagement: indicator isilluminated above the “A” on the AirRecirculation Button

Forced activation (air circulationalways activated): indicator illuminatedabove the icon on the AirRecirculation Button

Forced deactivation (air recirculationalways off with intake of outside air):both indicators not illuminated on the AirRecirculation Button

The three operating conditions areobtained by pushing the Air RecirculationButton in sequence.

Enabling The Air Quality System (AQS)Function — If Equipped

When the automatic recirculationfunction is selected, the AQS functionautomatically activates internal airrecirculation when the outside air ispolluted (e.g. in heavy traffic and tunnels).At low external temperatures or in highhumidity, the automatic function turnsoff to avoid fogging up the windows. Theuser can select the function again bypushing the Air Recirculation Button.In automatic operation, air recirculationwill be controlled by the systemaccording to outside environmentalconditions.

Note:

With the AQS function active andafter the internal air recirculationsystem has been functioning for a setamount of time, the Climate ControlSystem enables air intake to cycle theair in the passenger compartment for aset time. The AQS function is disabledduring the air changes.

The engagement of the recirculationsystem makes it possible to reach therequired heating or cooling conditionsfaster. It is, however, inadvisable to useit on
