When the lights have been activated automatically
and are then switched off by the sensor, the
dipped beam headlights are switched off first,
followed by the side lights a few seconds later. If
the sensor is activated but is malfunctioning,
the side lights and dipped beam headlights are
switched on irrespective of the outside light level
and the sensor failure is indicated on the
instrument panel display. It is also possible to
deactivate the sensor and switch on the side lights
and dipped beam headlights.
IMPORTANT The sensor is unable to detect the
presence of fog. Under these circumstances, these
lights are therefore turned on manually.

"Smart washing" function
Pull the lever towards the steering wheel (unstable
position) to activate the windscreen washer.
Keeping the stalk pulled for more than half a
second, with just one movement it is possible to
operate the washer jet and the wiper at the same
time.
The wiper stops working three strokes after the
stalk is released.
A further stroke after approximately six seconds
completes the wiping cycle.
RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is located behind the interior rear view
mirror, in contact with the windscreen fig. 36 and
can detect the presence of rain and, consequently,
manage the cleaning of the windscreen in
accordance with the amount of water on the
screen.
The sensor has an adjustment range that varies
progressively from wiper still (no stroke) when the
windscreen is dry, to wiper at 2
ndcontinuous
speed (fast continuous operation) with intense
rain.
Activation
The sensor is activated when the ring nut A fig. 35
is turned to
position: the windscreen wiper
stroke frequency is thus adjusted in accordance
with the amount of water on the windscreen.The activation of the sensor is signalled by a
"stroke" to show that the command has been
acquired.
The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be adjusted
through the Setup menu (see paragraph "Menu
Items" in this section).
The increasing of the rain sensor sensitivity is also
signalled by a stroke of the wipers.
IMPORTANT Keep the glass in the sensor area
clean.
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.

Deactivation
Move the stalk ring nut away from the position
or turn the ignition key to STOP.
If the ignition key is turned to the STOP position
leaving the ring nut A in position
, no wiping
cycle is performed at the next startup (ignition key
to the MAR position) even if rain is present. This
prevents unwanted activation of the rain sensor
when the engine is started (i.e. when the
windscreen is being washed by hand or the wipers
are stuck to the windscreen by ice).
To restore automatic operation of the rain sensor,
turn ring nut A from
position toposition
and then turn the ring nut back to the
position.
When the rain sensor is reactivated using any of
the manoeuvres described above, reactivation
is indicated by a single stroke of the windscreen
wipers, regardless of the condition of the
windscreen.If the sensitivity is changed whilst the rain sensor
is operating, a windscreen wiper stroke is carried
out to confirm the change even if the windscreen
is dry.
In the event of malfunction of the rain sensor
whilst it is active, the windscreen wiper operates
intermittently at a speed consistent with the
sensitivity setting of the rain sensor, regardless of
whether there is rain on the glass (on some
versions sensor failure is indicated on the display).
The sensor continues to operate and it is possible
to set the windscreen wiper to continuous mode
(1
stor 2ndspeed). The failure indication remains
for as long as the sensor is active.

RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND CELLULAR
PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile
phones, CB radios, amateur radio etc.) cannot be
used inside the car unless a separate aerial is
mounted externally.
IMPORTANT The use of these devices inside the
passenger compartment (without an external
aerial) may cause the electrical systems to
malfunction. This could compromise the safety of
the car in addition to constituting a potential
hazard for passengers' health.
In addition, transmission and reception of these
devices may be affected by the shielding effect of
the car body. As far as the use of EC-approved
mobile phones is concerned (GSM, GPRS, UMTS),
follow the usage instructions provided by the
mobile phone manufacturer.PARKING SENSORS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The parking sensors are located in the car's rear
bumper fig. 79 and their function is to inform the
driver, through an intermittent acoustic signal,
about the presence of obstacles behind the car.
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated when
reverse gear is engaged. As the obstacle behind the
vehicle gets closer to the car, the acoustic signal
becomes more frequent.
ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
When reverse gear is engaged and there is an
obstacle behind the car an acoustic signal is
activated which varies according to the distance of
the obstacle from the bumper.

The frequency of the acoustic signal:
❒increases as the distance between the car and
the obstacle decreases;
❒becomes continuous when the distance between
the car and the obstacle is less than 30 cm and
stops immediately if the distance increases;
❒is constant if the distance is unchanged.
If several obstacles are detected by the sensors,
only the nearest one is considered.
FAULT INDICATION
Any parking sensor faults will be indicated when
reverse is engaged by the
warning light on
the instrument panel together with the message in
the multifunction display (for versions/markets,
where provided) (see “Warning lights and
messages” section).OPERATION WITH TRAILER
Sensor operation is deactivated automatically
when the trailer's electric cable plug is fitted into
the car's tow hook socket.
The sensors are automatically reactivated when
the trailer's cable plug is removed.
For correct operation, sensors must
always be clean from mud, dirt, snow
or ice. Be careful not to scratch or
damage the sensors while cleaning them.
Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths. The
sensors must be washed using clean water,
with the addition of car shampoo if necessary.
When using special washing equipment such
as high pressure jets or steam cleaning, clean
the sensors very quickly keeping the jet more
than 10 cm away.
