Deactivation
Turn the ignition key to STOP.
The next time the vehicle is started (ignition key turned
to MAR), the sensor is not reactivated even if the lever is
still in position B-fig. 29. To activate the sensor, move the
lever to position A or C and then back to position B.
Rain sensor activation will be indicated by at least one
wiper “stroke” even if the windscreen is dry.CRUISE CONTROL
(constant speed regulator)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is an electronically controlled driving assistance de-
vice which allows the vehicle to be driven at a chosen
speed above 30 km/h on long stretches of dry, straight
roads with few variations (e.g. motorways), without hav-
ing to depress the accelerator pedal.
It is therefore not recommended to use this device on
country roads with traffic. Do not use it in town.
TURNING THE DEVICE ON
Turn the ring nut A-fig. 31 to ON.
The device must only be switched on in gears higher than
4t
h.
Do not activate the rain sensor when wash-
ing the car in an automatic car wash.
Make sure the device is switched off if there
is ice on the windscreen.
Make sure the device is switched off when-
ever the windscreen is being cleaned.

On the roof light, some bulbs light the car interior when
the main beam headlamps or dipped headlamps are on.
IMPORTANT The roof light in fig. 32, for some versions,
may also be in a rear central position (electric sun roof
version).
IMPORTANT Before getting out of the car, make sure
that both switches are in the middle position; when the
doors are closed, the lights switch off preventing a pos-
sible battery discharging. In any case, if the switch is left
in on position, the roof light switches off automatically
15 minutes after the engine switching off.
Courtesy light timing
To make getting in and out the vehicle easier, especially
at nighttime or in poorly lit areas, two timing logics are
available.
Timing while getting into the vehicle
The roof lights switch on according to the following
modes:
❍for around 10 seconds when the front doors are un-
locked;
❍for about 3 minutes when one of the side doors is
opened;
❍for about 10 seconds when the doors are closed.
The timed period is interrupted when the ignition is
turned to “MAR”.Timing while getting out of the vehicle
After removing the key from the ignition, the courtesy
lights switch on according to the following modes:
❍within 2 minutes of the engine being switched off for
a period of about 10 seconds;
❍when one of the side doors is opened for a period
of about 3 minutes;
❍when one of the doors is closed for a period of about
10 seconds;
❍if the fuel cut off switch operates, they remain on for
about 15 minutes, then they switch off automatically.
Door locking switches the lights off immediately (unless
the fuel cut off switch is operating).
