“FOLLOW ME HOME” DEVICE
This function allows the illumination of the
space in front of the car for a preset pe-
riod of time.
Activation fig. 56
With the ignition key at OFFor removed,
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 stalk is operated, the 3
warning light turns on together with the
message on the display (see section
“Warning lights and messages”). The
warning light will come on the first time
the stalk is operated and it will stay on un-
til the function is automatically deactivat-
ed. Each single movement of the stalk will
only extend the staying on of the lights.
Deactivation
Keep the stalk pulled towards the steer-
ing wheel for more than 2 seconds.
AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS
SENSOR (daylight sensor)
(where provided)
It detects the changes of the external light
intensity of the car according to the light
sensitivity set: the greater the sensitivity
is, the smaller the amount of external light
necessary to control the switching-on of
the external headlights will be. The day-
light sensor sensitivity can be adjusted by
the “Set-up menu” of the display.

Activation fig. 57
Turn the knurled ring to
2A:in this way,
the automatic activation of the side/tail-
lights and dipped beam headlights is si-
multaneously enabled according to the ex-
ternal luminosity.
Deactivation
As a result of the sensor control, the
dipped beam headlights will switch off and,
after about 10 seconds, sidelights will
switch off too.
The sensor is not able to detect the fog
presence, lights shall therefore be
switched on manually.

Never use the window wiper
to remove ice or snow from
the windscreen. In these con-
ditions, the wiper is submitted
to excessive effort that results in mo-
tor protection cutting in and wiper op-
eration inhibition for few seconds as a
consequence. If operation is not re-
stored contact Fiat Dealership.

ferent positions fig. 58:
A: windscreen wiper off
B: flick wipe.
With the stalk in position B, turning the
knurled ring Ffour possible intermittent
speeds are obtained:
,= very slow intermittent
— = slow intermittent
—- = intermittent medium
—— = fast intermittent
C: continuous slow;
D: continuous fast;
E:fast temporary (unstable position).Operation in position Eis limited to the
time the stalk is held in this position.
When the lever is released, it returns to
position Aautomatically stopping the

RAIN SENSOR (where provided)
The rain sensor is located behind the dri-
ving mirror in contact with the windscreen
and has the purpose of automatically ad-
just, during the intermittent operation, the
frequency of the windscreen wiper
strokes as to the rain intensity.
IMPORTANT Keep clean the glass in the
sensor area.
Activation fig. 60
Move the right-hand stalk downwards by
one position (B).
The activation of the rain sensor is sig-
nalled by a control acquisition “stroke”.
Turning the knurled ring Fit is possible to
increase the sensitivity of the rain sensor.
The increase of the sensitivity of the rain
sensor is signalled by a control and acqui-
sition “cycle”.
Operating the windscreen washer with
the rain sensor activated the normal wash-
ing cycle is performed at the end of which
the rain sensor resumes its normal auto-
matic function.Deactivation fig. 60
Move the stalk off Bor turn the ignition
key to OFF.
At next engine starting (key at ON), the
sensor will not be reactivated even if the
stalk is at B. In this event, to activate the
rain sensor you have to move the stalk
to Aor Cand then again to Bor turn the
knurled ring.
Rain sensor activation will be indicated by
at least one wiper “stroke” even if the
windscreen is dry.
The rain sensor is able to recognize and
automatically adjust itself in the presence
of the following particular conditions:
❒impurities on the controlled surface
(salt, dirt, etc.);
❒difference between day and night.
fig. 60F0L0030m
Streaks of water may cause
unrequired blade moving.
WARNING

Never use the rear window
wiper to remove ice or snow
from the rear window. In
these conditions, the wiper is
submitted to excessive effort that re-
sults in motor protection cutting in and
wiper operation inhibition for few sec-
onds as a consequence. If operation is
not restored contact Fiat Dealership.
