REAR VIEW MIRRORS
REAR-VIEW MIRROR fig. 40
The mirror is fitted with a safety device that causes its
release in the event of a violent impact with the
passenger.
Lever A can be used to move the mirror to two
different positions: normal or antiglare.
DOOR MIRRORS
Mirrors with manual adjustment
To adjust the mirrors, manually adjust each of the two
glasses of each mirror.
As the driver’s exterior mirror is curved,
it may slightly alter the perception of
distance of the reflected image.
Further, the reflective surface of the lower part
of the exterior mirrors is parabolic to increase
the field of view. The reflected image size is thus
reduced and gives the impression that the
reflected item is further away than it actually is.

to OFF. The next time the vehicle is started (ignition
key in ON position), the sensor is not reactivated even
if the lever is still in position B. To activate the sensor,
move the lever to position A or C and then back to
position B or turn the ring nut for adjusting the
sensitivity. Rain sensor activation will be indicated by at
least one wiper “stroke” even if the windscreen is dry.
The rain sensor is capable of recognising the difference
between day and night and making the necessary
adjustments automatically. RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets where provided)
The rain sensor is located behind the rear view mirror
in contact with the windscreen and has the purpose of
automatically adjusting the frequency of the windscreen
wiper strokes depending on the intensity of the rain
during intermittent operation.
IMPORTANT Keep the glass in the sensor area clean.

Move the right lever down by one click (position B).
The activation of the sensor is signalled by a “stroke” to
show that the command has been acquired.

sensitivity.
The increasing of the rain sensor sensitivity is signalled
by a “stroke” to show that the command has been
acquired.
If the windscreen washer is used with the rain sensor
activated, the normal washing cycle is performed, after
which the rain sensor resumes its normal automatic
operation.HEADLIGHT WASHERS
(for versions/markets where provided)
The headlight washers are “retractable”, i.e.: they are
located inside the front bumper and they are activated
when (with dipped beams on) the windscreen washer is
operated.
IMPORTANT Check the correct operation and
cleanliness of the jets at regular intervals.
Streaks of water may cause unnecessary
blade movements.
