MAINTENANCE
INDICATOR
It regulates the intervals between the main-
tenance operations based on vehicle use.
Functioning
As soon as the starting key is inserted and
for a few seconds, the maintenance key lights
up and which indicates the maintenance op-
erations; the total odometer display indicates
the number of kilometres {rounded down}
which can be covered until the next main-
tenance operation. The maintenance expiry
dates are calculated starting from the last re-
setting of the indicator.
This expiry date is determined by means
of two parameters:
❒the distance in kilometres covered
❒time which has passed since the last
maintenance operation.
The distance in kilometres
which remains to be covered
can be considered by the time
factor, based on the driver’s
driving habits.
F0P0354m
F0P0355m
OIL OK
F0P0356m
Maintenance expiry date over
1,000 km
Example: one can still travel 4,800 km be-
fore the next maintenance operation. Af-
ter having turned the starting key to the
Mposition and for a few seconds, the dis-
play indicates:
A few seconds after having turned the
starting key to the Mposition, the oil lev-
el is shown, therefore the total odometer
works again and it indicates the total and
daily amount of kilometres travelled.
Maintenance expiry date less than
1,000 km
After having turned the starting key to the
Mposition and for a few seconds, the
maintenance key flashes and the remain-
ing number of kilometres is shown.ENGINE OIL LEVEL
INDICATOR
Turning the starting key to the
Mposition, the instrument, after having
shown the kilometres to be covered be-
fore the next maintenance operation, sup-
plies the synchronised indication of the oil
level present in the engine oil pan. The
flashing of the word “OIL”, accompanied
by a beeping and by a message, indicates
an insufficient quantity of oil in the engine.
The flashing of the word “OIL –“ indicates
a problem with the engine oil sensor.
Maintenance Expiry date exceeded
After having turned the
starting key to the Mposi-
tion and for a few seconds,
the maintenance key flashes
and the number of kilome-
tres
travelled after the expiry date of the main-
tenance operation is shown.
When the engine is running, the
maintenance key remains
switch until the maintenance
operation has been carried out.
Before the two expiry dates are reached:
the maintenance key lights up also when
the expiry date of two years has been ex-
ceeded.

Follow me home
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This function allows the illumination of the
space in front of the vehicle for a preset
period of time (45 seconds). To activate
it the ignition key shall be at Sor removed
and the left stalk shall be pushed towards
the dashboard within 2 minutes from
when the engine is turned off.
If the vehicle is fitted with automatic de-
vice for turning on side lights and dipped
beams, the follow me home function will
activate automatically when opening the
doors.AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS
SENSOR (daylight sensor)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It detects the changes of the external light
intensity of the vehicle according to the
light sensitivity set: the greater the sensi-
tivity is, the smaller the amount of exter-
nal light necessary to control the switch-
ing-on of the external headlights will be.
Activation fig. 58
Turn the knurled ring to AUTO: in this
way, the automatic activation of the
side/taillights and dipped beam headlights
is simultaneously enabled according to the
external luminosity.

Deactivation fig. 58
Turn the knurled ring back to å; deacti-
vation is indicated by the dedicated mes-
sage on the display.
The sensor is not able to detect the fog
presence, lights shall therefore be
switched on manually.

The rain sensor (fitted on certain versions
only), is an electronic device coupled to
the windscreen wiper with the purpose of
adjusting automatically, during the inter-
mittent operation, the frequency of the
windscreen wiper strokes as to the rain
intensity.
The rain sensor will activate automatical-
ly when moving the stalk to AUTO; its
range varies gradually from windscreen
wiper off (no wipe) when the windscreen
is dry, to wiper at first continuous speed
with heavy rain.
The activation of the rain sensor is sig-
nalled by a control acquisition “stroke”. RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The rain sensor is located behind the dri-
ving mirror in contact with the windscreen
and has the purpose of adjusting auto-
matically, during the intermittent opera-
tion, the frequency of the windscreen
wiper strokes as to the rain intensity.
IMPORTANT Keep clean the glass in the
sensor area.

Operating the windscreen washer with
the rain sensor activated the normal wash-
ing cycle is performed at the end of which
the rain sensor resumes its normal auto-
matic function.
So as to deactivate the rain sensor, put the
windscreen wiper command in the I, 1or
2positions. The deactivation is accompa-
nied by a message on the display.
To activate the rain sensor you have to
move the stalk to another position and
then back to AUTO.The rain sensor is able to recognize and
automatically adjust itself in the presence
of the following particular conditions:
❒impurities on the controlled surface
(salt, dirt, etc...);
❒streaks of water produced by worn
wiper blades;
❒difference between day and night (hu-
man eye is more bothered by wet glass
at night).Pulling the stalk towards the steering
wheel (unstable position), regardless of
the position of the knurled ring, operates
the windscreen washer and if the dipped
or high beams are on, also the headlight
washer (for versions/markets, where pro-
vided).
Windscreen wiper will then perform three
wiping strokes.
Do not activate the rain sen-
sor when washing the vehi-
cle at automatic car-wash stations.
WARNING
When cleaning or washing
the windscreen make sure the
rain sensor is off.
WARNING
Do not activate the rain sen-
sor if the windscreen is icy.

PARKING SENSORS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Parking sensors are located in the rear
bumper fig. 114and their function is to
inform the driver, through an intermittent
buzzer, about the presence of obstacles
behind the vehicle.
In order to deactivate the parking sensors,
press button A-fig. 115present between
the commands on the bridge of the cen-
tral compartment. The deactivation is sig-
nalled by the lighting of the led Bon the
button.
In order to re-activate them, press button
Aagain.
When the distance from the obstacle sit-
uated behind the vehicle diminishes, it cor-
responds with an increase in the frequen-
cy of the beeping.
WARNING The condition of the parking
sensors (activated or deactivated) is mem-
orised upon switching off the engine.BUZZER WARNINGS
When the reverse gear is engaged an in-
termittent acoustic signal is automatically
activated.
The acoustic signal:
❒becomes louder as the distance be-
tween the vehicle and the obstacle de-
creases;
❒becomes continuous when the distance
between the vehicle and the obstacle is
less than 30 cm and stops immediately
if the distance raises;
❒is constant if the distance is unvaried;
if this situation concerns the side sen-
sors, the buzzer will stop after about
3 seconds to avoid, for example, warn-
ing indications in the event of manoeu-
vres along walls.FAILURE INDICATIONS
Parking sensor failures, if any, will be in-
dicated when engaging reverse by the
buzzer and the turning on of led
B-fig. 115together with the message on
the display.

GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, take the utmost care to
obstacles that may be set above or un-
der the sensors.
❒Objects set close to the vehicle, under
certain circumstances are not detected
and could therefore cause damages to
the vehicle or be damaged.
❒Indications sent by the sensors can be
altered by dirt, snow or ice deposited
on the sensors or by ultrasound sys-
tems (e.g.: truck pneumatic brakes or
pneumatic hammers) set nearby the ve-
hicle. For proper operation, the
parking sensors shall always
be clean from mud, dirt, snow
or ice. When cleaning the sen-
sors, take the utmost care to prevent
their damaging; do not use therefore
dry or rough clothes. Sensors shall be
washed with clean water and vehicle
detergent, if required.
Parking manoeuvres howev-
er are always under the dri-
ver’s responsibility that shall always
check the absence of people (spe-
cially children) or animals in the ma-
noeuvre space. This system is just a
help for the driver but she/he shall
never reduce attention during dan-
gerous manoeuvres even if performed
at low speed.
