After activating the device, the set
time can be extended also within 2
minutes from when the engine is
turned off by pulling the stalk.
Keeping the stalk pulled for over 2
seconds will deactivate this function
with immediate light turning off as a
consequence.
To flash the lights (fig. 95)
Pull the stalk towards the steering
wheel (position B). Instrument panel
warning light 1will come on. LEFT-HAND STALK
The left-hand stalk controls the
external lights and the direction
indicators.
Main beam headlights (fig. 95)
These lights come on pushing the
left-hand stalk forwards (position
A), with dipped beam headlights
switched on both manually (ring to
2) and automatically (ring to
AUTO).
When these lights are on, the
instrument panel warning light 1
is on.
To switch the main beam head-
lights off, pull the stalk back
towards the steering wheel.If main beam headlights
are on (left stalk for-
wards), they will turn on
automatically each time the twi-
light sensor makes the outside
lights switch on automatically. It
is therefore recommended to turn
off the main beam headlights (if
on), moving backwards the left
stalk, each time the sensor
switches off the outside lights.

INSTRUMENT
PANEL WARNING
LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES
On the instrument panel are set the
main warning lights. Certain warn-
ing lights with the relevant warning
messages are present also on the
instrument panel multifunction dis-
play.
Many indications/info are displayed
with a symbol only on the multifunc-
tion display with the corresponding
warnings for the driver.
IMPORTANTIndications may
vary according to the car version.GENERAL NOTES
Failure indications shown on the
multifunction display together with
buzzer sounding and warning light
(if any), are accompanied by spe-
cific warning messages(e.g. “GO
TO DEALER”, “SWITCH OFF
ENGINE”, etc.). These indications
are conciseand cautionaryand are
aimed to suggest the prompt action
the driver must adopt when a car
malfunctioning appears. These indi-
cations, however, shall not be con-
sidered as exhaustive and/or as an
alternative to the specifications con-
tained in this Owner Handbook,
which shall always be read through
carefully and thoroughly. In case of
failure indication always refer to
the specifications contained in
this chapter.Failure indications displayed on
the multifunction display are divid-
ed into two categories: very serious
failures and serious failures. The
message and the warning indication
corresponding to very serious fail-
ures are displayed alternately for
few seconds. This “cycle” is repeat-
ed indefinitely and it stops any pre-
vious indication on the display. It is
displayed every time the ignition key
is turned to MAR, until the cause of
malfunctioning is removed. To stop
this “cycle”, briefly press (less than
two seconds) the trip meter reset
button. In this case the failure sym-
bol stays on the display in the cen-
tral area until the cause of malfunc-
tioning is removed.
