Fabric upholstery of your car
is purpose-made to withstand
common wear resulting from
normal use of the car. It is
however absolutely necessary to pre-
vent hard and/or prolonged scratch-
ing/scraping caused by clothing acces-
sories like metallic buckles, studs, “Vel-
cro” fixings, etc. that stressing locally
the fabric could break yarns and dam-
age the upholstery as a consequence.
Only make adjustments when
the car is stationary.
Once you have released the
lever, check that the seat is
firmly locked in the runners by
trying to move it back and
forth. Failure to lock the seat in place
could result in the seat moving sud-
denly and the driver losing control of
the car.

AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS
SENSOR (daylight sensor) fig. 48
(where provided)
It detects the changes of the external light
intensity of the car according to the light
sensitivity set: greater is the sensitivity,
smaller is the amount of external light nec-
essary to control the switching-on of the
exterior headlights. The daylight sensor
sensitivity can be adjusted with the “Set-
up Menu” of the instrument panel.
Activation
Turn the knurled ring to
2A: in this way,
the automatic activation of the side/tail-
lights and dipped beam headlights are si-
multaneously enabled according to the ex-
ternal luminosity.
During the sensor operation lights can on-
ly be made flashing.
Deactivation
As a result of the sensor deactivation, the
main beam headlights will switch off and,
after about 10 seconds, sidelights will
switch off too.
The light sensor is not able to detect the
fog presence, lights shall therefore be
switched on manually.
fig. 48F0Q0652m
“Cornering lights”
With low beams on at a speed of less than
40 km/h, when the steering wheel is
turned through a large angle or upon ac-
tivation of the direction indicator, a light
(incorporated in the fog lamp) will come
on to expand the angle of night-time visi-
bility on the side to which the vehicle is
turned.

space in front of the car for a preset pe-
riod of time.Activation

moved, pull the stalk towards the steering
wheel and operate it within 2 minutes
from when the engine is turned off.
At each single movement of the stalk, the
staying on of the lights is extended by 30
seconds up to a maximum of 210 seconds;
then the lights are switched off automati-
cally.
Each time the lever is operated, the in-
strument panel warning light
3turns

“Smart washing” function fig. 50
Pulling the lever towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) operates the
windscreen washer.Keeping the stalk pulled, with just one
movement it is possible to operate the
washer jet and the wiper at the same time;
indeed, the latter comes into action au-
tomatically if the stalk is pulled for more
than half a second.
The wiper stops working a few strokes af-
ter releasing the stalk; a further “cleaning
stroke”, after a few seconds, completes
the wiping operation.
RAIN SENSOR (where provided)
The rain sensor A-fig. 51is behind the
driving mirror in contact with the wind-
screen and has the purpose of automati-
cally adjust, during the intermittent oper-
ation, the frequency of the windscreen
wiper strokes as to the rain intensity.
The sensor has a range of adjustment that
gradually varies between wiper stationary
(no wiping) when the windscreen is dry,
to wiper at first continuous speed (con-
tinuous slow) with heavy rain.
