Mirror realignment adjustmentIf one of the door mirrors has been
moved manually, it may not maintain its
position while driving.
In this case the following realignment
procedure must be carried out:
❒manually close the mirror into parking
position, moving it from position 1 to
position 2 (see fig. 26);
❒Operate the door opening control C
fig. 25 once or twice to realign the
system and bring both mirrors
into driving position.

Automatic main beam headlights(where provided)
In order not to disturb other road users,
the main beam headlights are
automatically deactivated when
approaching vehicles travelling in the
opposite direction or when following a
vehicle travelling in the same direction.
This function can be set through the
display menu (see the instructions
in the "Display" paragraph, "Knowing
the instrument panel" chapter); the light
switch ring nut must be turned to
AUTO to activate.
The function is activated by pushing the
stalk toward the dashboard (stable
position); the
warning light comes
on in the instrument panel. The
warning light will also come on in
the instrument panel with main beam
headlights on. If the vehicle is turned off
with the setting described previously,
the automatic main beam headlight
function will need a new resetting: bring
back the stalk in the centre position
and then press it again towards the
instrument panel.
When the speed is higher than 40 km/h
and the function is active, if the stalk
is brought again to the stable central
position the function deactivates and
the main beam headlights turn off.When the speed is lower than 15 km/h
and the function is active, the system
automatically switches the main beam
headlights off.
If the stalk is moved from the stable
central position and pushed again
towards the dashboard in the stable
position, this is interpreted as a request
for fixed main beam headlights: the
warning light comes on in the
instrument panel and the main beam
headlights turn on until vehicle speed
exceeds 40 km/h again. When this
threshold is exceeded the function
activates again automatically and the
warning light comes on again
in the instrument panel.
To deactivate this function, rotate the
light switch ring nut to the
position.
DIRECTION INDICATORSBring left stalk A fig. 28 to the (stable)
position:
upwards: activates the right direction
indicator;
downwards: activates the left direction
indicator.
The
or
warning light respectively
will flash on the instrument panel.
The direction indicators switch
off automatically when the steering
wheel is straightened or when the
daytime running lights (DRL)/parking
lights are activated.
"Lane Change" functionIf you wish to signal a lane change while
running, place the left stalk in the
unstable position for less than half a
second.
The direction indicator on the side
selected will flash five times and then
switch off automatically.HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT
