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.

bility on the side to which the vehicle is

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.

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.
