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: greater is the sensitivity, smaller is the amount
of external light necessary to control the switching-on of the exterior
headlights. The daylight sensor sensitivity can be adjusted with the “Set-
up menu” of “Reconfigurable multifunction display”.
Activation
Turn the knurled ring to
2A: in this way, the automatic activation of the
side/taillights and dipped beam headlights is simultaneously enabled
according to the external luminosity.
When the daylight sensor is on, the display shows the preset sensitivity
level. During displaying, the sensitivity level can be adjusted using buttons
+and –.
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.
If during automatic light activation,
main beam headlights have been switched on (manually), they will go off
at automatic light switching off.
IMPORTANT The light sensor is not able to detect the fog presence,
lights shall therefore be switched on manually.

ROOF RACKS (where fitted)
IMPORTANT You are recommended to use the roof racks available
from Lineaccesori Fiat. Always attain to the installation instructions
provided with the kit and have the roof racks installed by skilled
personnel.
IMPORTANT Never exceed the max. permissible loads (see section
“Technical specifications”).
After few kilometers, check that fastening screws are firmly tightened.
HEADLIGHTS
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHT BEAM
Proper adjustment of the headlight beams is of vital importance for your
safety and comfort and also for the other road users. To ensure you and
other drivers have the best visibility conditions when travelling with the
headlights on, the headlights must be set properly. Contact Fiat
Dealership to have the headlights properly adjusted.
Headlight aiming device
The device can be operated with the ignition key at MAR and dipped
beam headlights on. When the car is loaded, it slopes backwards. This
means that the headlight beam rises. In this case, it is necessary to return
it to the correct position.
F0H0116m F0H0248m
Never activate the sunroof with roof racks mounted.
