When the lights have been activated automatically
and are then switched off by the sensor, the
dipped beam headlights are switched off first,
followed by the side lights a few seconds later. If
the sensor is activated but is malfunctioning,
the side lights and dipped beam headlights are
switched on irrespective of the outside light level
and the sensor failure is indicated on the
instrument panel display. It is also possible to
deactivate the sensor and switch on the side lights
and dipped beam headlights.
IMPORTANT The sensor is unable to detect the
presence of fog. Under these circumstances, these
lights are therefore turned on manually.
MAIN BEAM HEADLIGHTS
To activate the main beam headlights, with ring
nut at
, pull the stalk towards the steering
wheel. The warning light
switches on in the
instrument panel.
When the stalk is pulled towards the steering
wheel again, the lights deactivate, the dipped
headlights reactivate and the
warning light
switches off.
It is not possible to switch on the main beam
headlights in fixed mode if the automatic lighting
control system is active.FLASHING
You can flash the headlights by pulling the stalk
towards the wheel (unstable position). The
warning light will come on in the instrument
panel.
DIRECTION INDICATORS

upwards:right-hand direction indicator
activation;
downwards:left-hand direction indicator
activation.
Warning light
orshould flash in the

automatically when the steering wheel is
straightened.

"Smart washing" function
Pull the lever towards the steering wheel (unstable
position) to activate the windscreen washer.
Keeping the stalk pulled for more than half a
second, with just one movement it is possible to
operate the washer jet and the wiper at the same
time.
The wiper stops working three strokes after the
stalk is released.
A further stroke after approximately six seconds
completes the wiping cycle.
RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is located behind the interior rear view
mirror, in contact with the windscreen fig. 36 and
can detect the presence of rain and, consequently,
manage the cleaning of the windscreen in
accordance with the amount of water on the
screen.
The sensor has an adjustment range that varies
progressively from wiper still (no stroke) when the
windscreen is dry, to wiper at 2
ndcontinuous
speed (fast continuous operation) with intense
rain.
Activation
The sensor is activated when the ring nut A fig. 35
is turned to
position: the windscreen wiper
stroke frequency is thus adjusted in accordance
with the amount of water on the windscreen.The activation of the sensor is signalled by a
"stroke" to show that the command has been
acquired.
The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be adjusted
through the Setup menu (see paragraph "Menu
Items" in this section).
The increasing of the rain sensor sensitivity is also
signalled by a stroke of the wipers.
IMPORTANT Keep the glass in the sensor area
clean.
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.
