REARVIEW MIRRORS
INTERNAL REARVIEW MIRROR fig. 21
The mirror is fitted with a safety device that causes its
release in the event of a violent crash.
It can be moved using lever A to two different positions:
normal or antiglare.
ELECTROCHROMIC INTERNAL REARVIEW
MIRROR (where provided)
Some versions provide an electrochromic mirror with au-
tomatic antiglare function. An ON/OFF button in the low-
er area of the mirror enables/disables the electrochromic
function. When the function is activated this is indicated
by the LED on the mirror lighting up.
Perform these operations only when the car
is stationary and the engine is not running.

DOOR MIRRORS fig. 22
Proceed as follows to adjust the position of the door mir-
rors:
select the mirror using selector B;
adjust the mirror using controls A, in all four direc-
tions.Folding back door mirrors fig. 23
When required (for example when the mirror causes dif-
ficulty in narrow spaces) it is possible to fold the mirror
by moving it from position 1 (open), to position 2 (closed).
On some versions the door mirrors can be folded back elec-
trically by operating a dedicated control.
fig. 22L0E0014mfig. 23L0E0015m
When driving, the mirrors should always be
in position 1. As the door mirrors are curved,
they may slightly alter the perception of dis-
tance.

IMPORTANT It is advisable to activate air recirculation
in queues or in tunnels to prevent the introduction of pol-
luted air. Do not use the function for a long time, partic-
ularly if there are many passengers on board, to prevent
the windows from misting up.

(LED lights when function is on).
E Manual climate control compressor on/off button (LED
lights when function is on).
F Heated rear windscreen on/off button.
When the function is active, an LED on the button is
lit. In order to maintain battery efficiency, the function

as described above and press knob B to switch the climate
control system on: the LED on the knob will light up.
LOOKING AFTER THE SYSTEM
Run the climate control system for at least 10 minutes
every month during the winter. Have the system inspect-

Deactivation
When the lights are switched off by the sensor, the dipped
beam headlights and side lights are switched off and the
daylight lights are switched on (if activated).
The sensor cannot detect the presence of fog: switch the
lights on manually in this case.
FRONT FOG LIGHTS WITH CORNERING LIGHTS
FUNCTION
When travelling at a speed of less than 40 km/h with the
dipped beam headlights on, when the steering wheel is
turned at a wide angle or the direction indicators are lit
up, a light (built into the front fog lights) will be activat-
ed on the side of the turn to increase night time visibility.
This function can be switched on/off using the display
menus (see “Display” section in this chapter). AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHT SENSOR
(dusk sensor) fig. 27 (where provided)
This sensor detects changes in external light levels ac-
cording to the sensitivity of the setting: the higher the sen-
sitivity, the lower the amount of external light needed to
switch the lights on. The sensitivity of the dusk sensor may
be adjusted, using the “Set-up menu” on the instrument
panel.
Activation
Turn the selector wheel to AUTO: in this way the external
lighting will switch on automatically according to the out-
side light level.
The headlights can only be flashed with the sensor on.The daytime lights are an alternative to the
dipped beam headlights for driving during
the daytime. They are compliant in countries
where is it obligatory to have lights on during the
day and permitted in those where it is not obliga-
tory Daytime lights cannot replace dipped beam
headlights when driving at night or through tunnels.
The use of daytime lights is governed by the High-
way Code of the country you are in. Keep to the
rules.
