EXTERIOR COURTESY LIGHTS
This function lights up the vehicle and the space around it when
the doors are unlocked.
Activation
When the car is parked and the doors are unlocked by pressing the
Ëbutton on the remote control (or the boot is unlocked by press-
ing
R), the dipped beam headlights, side lights and number
plate lights are activated.
The lights remain lit for approximately 25 seconds unless the doors
and boot are locked once again, the doors or boot are opened
and closed or the instrument panel is activated. In these cases they
go out after 5 seconds.
The exterior courtesy lights can be enabled/disabled using the Set-
up Menu (see the paragraph “Menu Items” in this chapter).
“FOLLOW ME HOME” DEVICE
This device allows you to illuminate the area in front of the car
for a certain amount of time.
Activation
With the ignition key on STOP or removed, pull A stalk fig. 40 to-
wards the steering wheel within 2 minutes of the engine switch-
ing off.
Each time the stalk is moved, the lights stay on for an extra 30
seconds up to a maximum of 210 seconds; then the lights are
switched off automatically.
The
3warning light on the instrument panel will light up (and
the corresponding message will appear on the display) as long as
the function is active.
The light comes on when the stalk is first moved and stays on un-
til the function is automatically deactivated. Each movement of the
stalk increases only the amount of time the lights stay on.
Deactivation
Keep the A stalk fig. 40 pulled towards the steering wheel for more
than 2 seconds.

INCREASING THE STORED SPEED
Press the accelerator and store the new speed or move the stalk
upwards (+). Each movement of the stalk will correspond to an
increase in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the stalk held
upwards the speed will continuously increase.
REDUCING THE STORED SPEED
Deactivate the device and store the new speed or move the stalk
downwards (–) until the new speed is reached. It will then auto-
matically be stored. Each movement of the stalk will correspond
to a reduction in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the stalk
held downwards will continuously reduce the speed.
TURNING THE DEVICE OFF
Toturnthedeviceoff:
❍turn the A ring fig. 43 to OFF;
❍stop the engine;
❍press the brake pedal, the clutch or the accelerator; in this
last case the system is not actually turned off but the system
gives priority to the acceleration request. The device still re-
mains active, without the need to press the RES button to re-
turn to the previous condition once acceleration is concluded. When travelling downhill with the device engaged, the car may
slightly exceed the preset speed. When the device is activated,
Ü
light comes on together with the relevant message on the instru-
ment panel (for versions/markets, where provided).
STORING THE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❍turn A ring fig. 43 to ON and press the accelerator until the
car reaches the desired speed;
❍move the stalk upwards (+) for at least one second, then re-
lease it. The speed is now stored and you can therefore release
the accelerator pedal.
If needed (when overtaking for instance), you can accelerate sim-
ply by pressing the accelerator pedal; when you come off the ped-
al, the car will return to the speed memorised previously.
RESTORING STORED SPEED
If the device was disengaged - for example by pressing the brake
or clutch pedal - the stored speed can be reset as follows:
❍accelerate gradually until reaching a speed approaching the one
stored;
❍engage the gear selected at the time of speed storing;
❍press RES button (B-fig. 43).

AFS ADAPTIVE LIGHTS
(Adaptive Frontlight System) fig. 52
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is a system combined with xenon headlamps which directs the
main light beam and continuously and automatically adapts it to
the driving conditions round bends/when cornering. The system
directs the light beam to light up the road in the best way, taking
into account the speed of the vehicle, the bend/corner angle and
the speed of steering.
The adaptive lights are automatically activated when the engine
is started. In this condition, LED A-fig. 52 will stay off. When the
button is pressed the adaptive lights (if on) are deactivated and the
LED A-fig. 52 in the button comes on continuously.
Press button again to turn the adaptive lights on (LED off).

DOOR LOCK fig. 53
Press≈to lock all the doors at the same time (the LED on the
button will light up when the doors are locked. Locking takes place
regardless of the position of the ignition key.
FUEL CUT-OFF SYSTEM
This system is tripped after a collision and activates the following
functions:
❍cutting off fuel supply and consequently stopping the engine;
❍automatically unlocking the doors;
❍turning on the inside lights.
The intervention of the system is indicated by a message shown
on the display. Carefully check the car for fuel leaks, for instance
in the engine compartment, below the car or near the tank area.
After a crash, turn the ignition key to STOP to avoid draining the
battery.

ELECTRIC WINDOWS
The window winders work with the ignition key at MAR and for
approximately three minutes after turning the key to STOP or ex-
tracting it and opening one of the front doors.
The control buttons are located in the door panels (the driver’s door
panel can be used to operate all the windows).
An anti-pinch device is operated when the front and rear windows
are wound up.
CONTROLS fig. 68

dow opening/closing stage;
Press the buttons to open/close the required window. When one
of the two buttons is pressed briefly, the window moves in stages;
if the button is held down, “continuous automatic” operation is ac-
tivated both for closing and opening. If the button is pressed again
the window will stop in its current position. Holding the button
pressed for a few seconds, the window automatically raises or low-
ers (only with key on MAR).

IMPORTANT With ignition key at STOP or removed, the electric win-
dows remain active for about 3 minutes and are deactivated the
moment a door is opened.
IMPORTANT On some versions when the
Ëbutton on the remote
control is pressed for longer than 2 seconds the windows will open,
whilst if the
Ábutton is pressed for longer than 2 seconds the
windows will close.
The system conforms to the 2000/4/EC standard
concerning the safety of passengers leaning out of
the passenger compartment.
Incorrect use of the electric windows may be danger-
ous. Before and during operation, always check that
no passenger is at risk of being injured directly by
the moving window or by objects getting caught in or dragged
by the window. When leaving the car, always remove the key
from the ignition device to avoid the risk of injury due to ac-
cidental operation of the electric windows. This is a danger to
the people still on board.
Anti-pinch device
The car is equipped with an anti-pinch safety device for the upwards
motion of the windows.
The windows are fitted with an anti-pinch safety system that de-
tects the presence of an obstacle when they are closing and cuts
in by stopping the window and reversing it according to the posi-
tion of the window. This device is also useful when the windows
are activated accidentally by children on board the car.
The anti-pinch function is active both during manual and automat-
ic operation of the electric windows. Following the intervention of
the anti-pinch system, the window travel is immediately interrupt-
ed and subsequently reversed until the lower end of travel is
reached. The window cannot be operated in any way during this
time.
IMPORTANT If the anti-pinch protection intervenes 5 consecutive
times within a minute or is faulty, the automatic closing operation
of the window is inhibited, only allowing it in steps of half a sec-
ond; the button is released for the subsequent manoeuvre.
Open the concerned window to restore correct operation of the sys-
tem.

trol units), the automatic setting for the electric windows must be
reset.The reset operation should be carried out with the doors closed
according to the following procedure:
1. completely lower the driver-side window and keep the button
pressed for at least 3 seconds once the end of travel position
has been reached (lower end stop);
2. completely raise the driver-side window and keep the button
pressed for at least 3 seconds once the end of travel position
has been reached (upper end stop);
3. repeat stages 1 and 2 also for the passenger’s window
4. check that the initialisation has taken place correctly by check-
ing the automatic operation of the windows.

When the system is operating, due to comfort, emission control
and safety reasons, the engine does not stop in some conditions,
among which:
