“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.

CUT-OFF SWITCH
The car is fitted with a safety switch that
in the event of a crash comes into opera-
tion by cutting off fuel and turning off the
engine as a consequence. Certain versions
are equipped with an additional safety
switch that in the event of a crash comes
into operation by cutting off the power sup-
ply. These two safety switches therefore
prevent dangerous fuel leaks due to fuel line
cracking and sparks or electric discharges
due to damaging or malfunctioning of the
electric components of the car in the event
of a crash.
IMPORTANT After a crash, remember to
remove the key from the ignition device
to prevent battery run-down.
If, after a crash no fuel leaks or damages
to the electric devices (e.g. headlights) are
found and the car can be started again, re-
set the fuel cut-off switch and the power
supply cut-off switch (where provided).
Follow the instructions given below.
fig. 66F0L0230mfig. 67F0L0036m
If, after a crash, you smell fu-
el or see leaks from the fuel
system, do not reset the switches to
avoid fire risk.

ADJUSTMENT

ADJUSTMENT ABROAD
fig. 120-121
The dipped beam headlights are adjusted
for circulation in the country in which the
car is marketed. In countries with oppo-
site circulation, to avoid glaring oncom-
ing vehicles, it is necessary to cover the
areas of the headlight using a special stick-
er tape provided for the purpose and avail-
able at Lineaccessori Fiat. Contact Fiat
Dealership.
ABS SYSTEM
The car is fitted with an ABS braking sys-
tem, which prevents the wheels from lock-
ing when braking, makes the most of road
grip and gives the best control when emer-
gency braking under difficulty road condi-
tions.
System is completed by EBD (Electronic
Braking Force Distribution), which dis-
tributes the braking action between front
and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To have the maximum ef-
ficiency of the braking system, it is neces-
sary a setting period of about 500 km
(with new car after replacing brake
pads/discs): during this period it is better
to avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged
brakes.
ESP SYSTEM INTERVENTION
When the ABS cuts in, you will feel the
brake pedal pulsating slightly and the sys-
tem get noisier: it means that the speed
should be altered to fit the type of road sur-
face.
If the ABS system cuts in, it is a sign that
the grip between tyre and the road sur-
face has reached the limit: you must slow
down to match the speed to the road grip
available.
