Each time the lever is operated the lights will stay on
another 30 seconds, up to a maximum of 210 seconds;
when this time has elapsed, the lights will go out
automatically.
The warning light 3on the instrument panel will light
up and the corresponding message will appear in the
display (see “Warning lights and messages”) for as long

more than 2 seconds.
AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHT SENSOR
(dusk sensor)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It detects variations in brightness outside the vehicle
depending on the light sensitivity setting: the greater the
sensitivity, the less outside light needed to activate the
exterior lights being turned on. The sensitivity of the
dusk sensor is adjusted by means of the “Setup menu”
for the display. Lane change function
If you wish to signal a lane change, place the left lever 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.
“FOLLOW ME HOME” DEVICE
This device allows the illumination of the space in front
of the vehicle for a preset time.

Deactivation fig. 77
Move the lever from position B or turn the ignition key
to OFF. The next time the vehicle is started (ignition
key in ON position), the sensor is not reactivated even
if the lever is still in position B. To activate the sensor,
move the lever to position A or C and then back to
position B or turn the ring nut for adjusting the
sensitivity. Rain sensor activation will be indicated by at
least one wiper “stroke” even if the windscreen is dry.
The rain sensor is capable of recognising the difference
between day and night and making the necessary
adjustments automatically. RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets where provided)
The rain sensor is located behind the rear view mirror
in contact with the windscreen and has the purpose of
automatically adjusting the frequency of the windscreen
wiper strokes depending on the intensity of the rain
during intermittent operation.
IMPORTANT Keep the glass in the sensor area clean.
Activation fig. 77
Move the right lever down by one click (position B).
The activation of the sensor is signalled by a “stroke” to
show that the command has been acquired.
Turn the control F to increase the rain sensor
sensitivity.
The increasing of the rain sensor sensitivity is signalled
by a “stroke” to show that the command has been
acquired.
If the windscreen washer is used with the rain sensor
activated, the normal washing cycle is performed, after
which the rain sensor resumes its normal automatic
operation.HEADLIGHT WASHERS
(for versions/markets where provided)
The headlight washers are “retractable”, i.e.: they are
located inside the front bumper and they are activated
when (with dipped beams on) the windscreen washer is
operated.
IMPORTANT Check the correct operation and
cleanliness of the jets at regular intervals.
Streaks of water may cause unnecessary
blade movements.

ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY AND
FUEL CUT OFF SWITCH
The vehicle is fitted with a safety switch that, in the
event of a crash, comes into operation by cutting off the
fuel supply and turning off the engine as a consequence.
When the inertia switch cuts in, this cuts off the fuel
supply and also activates the hazard warning lights, side
lights and courtesy lights while releasing all the doors
and displaying a message; they are deactivated by
pressing button A. An additional safety switch is also
present that is activated in the event of impact to cut off
the electrical supply. In this way, fuel is prevented from
escaping if the pipes are broken as well as the formation
of sparks or electrical discharges following damage to
the vehicle electrical components.
IMPORTANT After an accident, remember to remove
the key from the ignition device to avoid draining the
battery.
If no fuel leaks or damage to vehicle electrical
devices (e.g. headlights) are detected after the impact and the
vehicle is able to set off again, reactivate the automatic fuel
cut off and electrical supply switches (
for versions/markets
where provided)
following the procedure described below.
If, after a crash, you smell fuel or see
leaks from the fuel system, do not reset
the switches to avoid the risk of fire.
WARNING
Reactivating the fuel cut-off switch fig. 92
Press the button A to reactivate the fuel cut off switch.
