USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Each time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are given, these must be intended as
regarding an occupant in the driver's seat. Special cases not complying with this rule will be specified as appropriate in the text.
The figures in the Owner Handbook are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do
not correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle. In addition, the Handbook has been conceived considering vehicles
with steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on vehicles with steering wheel on the right side, the position
or construction of some controls is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure.
To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner Handbook.
Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further there is a key
for getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is in any case a textual indication of the
current chapter at the side of each even page.

EXTERIOR LIGHTS
The left stalk fig. 18 controls the
operation of the headlights, side lights,
dipped beam headlights, parking lights,
main beam headlights, direction
indicators, and "Follow me home"
device.
The external lights can only be
switched on when the ignition key is at
MAR.
The instrument panel and the various
dashboard controls will come on with
the external lights.AUTOMATIC LIGHT
CONTROL
(Dusk sensor)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This infrared LED sensor, located on the
windscreen, detects the variations in
outside brightness depending on the
light sensitivity set with the Setup
Menu: the greater the sensitivity, the
less external light is required to activate
the exterior lights.
Activation
The dusk sensor activates when ring
nut A fig. 18 is turned to
. In this
way the side lights and dipped beam
headlights are activated automatically
according to the external light level.
Following automatic light activation, the
fog lights (for versions/markets, where
provided) and rear fog light may still
be switched on. When the lights are
automatically switched off, the front and
rear fog lights (if activated) are also
switched off. The next time the lights
are switched on automatically, the
fog lights must be reactivated manually
(if required).
With dusk sensor active, it is not
possible to keep the main beam
headlights on constantly; only flashing
is permitted. To switch these lights
on constantly, turn ring nut A to
and
pull the stalk towards the steering
wheel.
