riod of time.
Activation fig. 60
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

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.

Keep the stalk pulled towards the steer-
ing wheel for more than 2 seconds.
AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS
SENSOR (daylight sensor)

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. 61
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. 70F0L0230mfig. 71F0L0036m
If, after a crash, you smell fu-
el or see leaks from the fuel
system, do not reset the switches to
avoid fire risk.
