AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS
SENSOR (daylight sensor) fig. 48
(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 nec-
essary to control the switching-on of the
exterior headlights. The daylight sensor
sensitivity can be adjusted with the “Set-
up Menu” of the instrument panel.
Activation
Turn the knurled ring to
2A: in this way,
the automatic activation of the side/tail-
lights and dipped beam headlights are si-
multaneously enabled according to the ex-
ternal luminosity.
During the sensor operation lights can on-
ly be made flashing.
Deactivation
As a result of the sensor deactivation, the
main beam headlights will switch off and,
after about 10 seconds, sidelights will
switch off too.
The light sensor is not able to detect the
fog presence, lights shall therefore be
switched on manually.

“Cornering lights”
With low beams on at a speed of less than
40 km/h, when the steering wheel is
turned through a large angle or upon ac-
tivation of the direction indicator, a light
(incorporated in the fog lamp) will come
on to expand the angle of night-time visi-
bility on the side to which the vehicle is
turned.
“FOLLOW ME HOME”
DEVICE fig. 47
This function allows the illumination of the
space in front of the car for a preset pe-
riod of time.Activation
With the ignition key at STOPor re-
moved, 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 lever is operated, the in-
strument panel warning light
3turns
on (together with the message on the dis-
play) (see section “Warning lights and
messages”).
Deactivation

ing wheel for more than 2 seconds.

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.
IMPORTANT When turning on gas dis-
charge headlight lamps (where provided),
it is normal that there should be a vertical
movement of lenses, and consequently the
same will also happen to the light beam,
for the time required to achieve the cor-
rect headlight trim stabilisation, equal to
approx. 2 seconds.
HEADLIGHT AIMING DEVICE
This device can be operated with the ig-
nition key at MARand dipped beams on.
When the car is loaded, it slopes back-
wards. This means that the headlight beam
rises. In this case, it is necessary to return
it to the correct position.

HEADLIGHT BEAM
ADJUSTMENT ABROAD
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.
