high beam Abarth 124 Spider 2017 Owner handbook (in English)

HIGH BEAMS
The headlights switch between high
and low beams by moving the lever
forward or backward.
When the headlight high-beams are on,
the
warning light is turned on.
FLASH TO PASS
Can be used when the ignition is
switched ON.
To flash the headlights, pull the lever
fully towards you (the headlight switch
does not need to be on).
The
warning light in the instrument
cluster illuminates simultaneously.
The lever will return to the normal
position when released.
AUTOMATIC LIGHTING(where provided)
Light sensor
When the headlight switch is in the
AUTOposition and the ignition is
switched ON, the light sensor senses
the surrounding lightness or darkness
and automatically turns the headlights,
other exterior lights and dashboard
illumination on or off.
IMPORTANT The light sensor also
works as a rain sensor for the
auto-wiper control. Keep hands and
scrapers clear of the windshield when
the wiper lever is in the AUTO position
and the ignition is switched ON as
fingers could be pinched or the wipers
and wiper blades damaged when the
wipers activate automatically. If you are
going to clean the windshield, be sure
the wipers are turned off completely
(this is particularly important when
clearing ice and snow) when it is
particularly tempting to leave the engine
running.COMING HOME LIGHT
SYSTEM
The coming me home light system
turns on the headlights (low beams)
when the lever is operated.
System activation
When the lever is pulled with the ignition
switched to ACC or OFF, the low beam
headlights turn on.
The headlights turn off after a certain
period of time has elapsed after the
doors are closed.
The time until the headlights turn off
after all of the doors are closed can be
changed. If no operations are done for
3 minutes after the lever is pulled, the
headlights turn off.
The headlights turn off if the lever is
pulled again while the headlights are on.

NOTE
Headlights are equipped which do
not blind drivers approaching in the
opposite direction no matter what side
of the road you must drive your vehicle
(left-hand or right-hand traffic).
Therefore, it is not necessary to adjust
the optical axis of the headlights when
switching temporarily to driving on the
opposite side of the road (left-hand or
right-hand traffic).
The Adaptive Front Lighting System
(AFS) function can be switched to
operable/ inoperable using the
personalisation function. Refer to
“Personalisation features” paragraph in
“Knowing the instrument panel”
chapter.
WARNING
40)The daytime running lights are an
alternative to the dipped beam headlights
for driving in countries where it is
compulsory to have lights on during the
day; where it is not compulsory, the use of
daytime running lights is permitted.
41)Daytime running lights cannot replace
dipped beam headlights when driving at
night or through tunnels. The use of
daytime running lights is governed by the
highway code of the country in which you
are driving. Comply with legal
requirements.
