“FOLLOW ME HOME”
DEVICE
This function allows the illumination of the
space in front of the vehicle for a preset
period of time.
Activation fig. 57
With the ignition key at OFFor removed,
pull the stalk towards the steering wheel
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 in-
strument panel warning light 3will turn
on together with a message on the display
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”) until the function is active. The
warning light comes on the first time the
stalk is operated and will stay on up to au-
tomatic function deactivation. Each oper-
ation of the stalk will extend just the lights
switching on time.
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 vehicle according to the
light sensitivity set: the greater the sensi-
tivity is, the smaller the amount of exter-
nal light necessary to control the switch-
ing-on of the external headlights will be.
The daylight sensor sensitivity can be ad-
justed by the “Set-up menu” of the display.Activation fig. 58
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.

WINDOW WASHING
WINDSCREEN WASHER/
WIPER
This device can only work when the igni-
tion key is at ON.
The right stalk can be moved to five dif-
ferent positions fig. 59:
A: windscreen wiper off
B: flick wipe.
With the stalk in position B, turning the
knurled ring Ffour possible intermittent
speeds are obtained:
,= very slow intermittent
-- = slow intermittent
--- = intermittent medium
---- = fast intermittent
C: continuous slow;
D: continuous fast;
E: fast temporary (unstable position).Operation in position Eis limited to the
time the stalk is held in this position.
When the stalk is released, it returns to
position Aautomatically stopping the
wiper.
IMPORTANT Replace wiper blades as
specified in section “Vehicle maintenance”.Never use the window wiper
to remove ice or snow from
the windscreen. In these con-
ditions, the wiper is submitted
to excessive effort that results in mo-
tor protection cutting in and wiper op-
eration inhibition for few seconds as a
consequence. If operation is not re-
stored contact Fiat Dealership.
“Smart washing” function
Pulling the stalk towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) operates the
windscreen washer fig. 60.
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 four strokes af-
ter releasing the stalk.
A further stroke after five seconds com-
pletes the wiping operation.
