dipped headlights are switched on. The warning light
switches
on on the instrument panel.
PARKING LIGHTS
These lights can only be switched on with ignition key at STOP or

(left or right) can be selected.
AUTOMATIC LIGHTING CONTROL
(AUTOLIGHT) (Dusk sensor)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This infrared LED sensor, combined with the rain sensor and located on
the windscreen, detects the variations in outside brightness depending
on the light sensitivity set with the Set-up 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. 35 is turned to
.In
this way the side lights and dipped headlights are activated
automatically according to the external light level.
IMPORTANT The sensor is unable to detect the presence of fog.
Therefore under these circumstances, these lights must be turned on
manually.
When the lights are turned on by the sensor, the fog lights (for
versions/markets, where provided) and the rear fog lights may be
turned 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 the sensor active, it is possible to flash the headlights but the
main beam headlights cannot be switched on. If you need to turn these
lights on, turn ring nut A to position
and turn the dipped
headlights on.
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 these lights if
necessary.

Move the stalk upwards (unstable position) to limit operation to the
time for which the stalk is held in this position. When released, the
stalk will return to its default position and the wiper will be
automatically stopped.
Do not use the windscreen wiper to remove layers of
snow or ice from the windscreen. In such conditions,
the windscreen wiper may be subjected to excessive
stress and the motor protection, which prevents operation for a
few seconds, may intervene. If operation is not restored, even
after turning the key and restarting the engine, contact Alfa
Romeo Authorized Services.
Do not operate the windscreen wiper with the blades
lifted from the windscreen.
"Smart washing" function
Pull the lever towards the steering wheel (unstable position) to operate
the windscreen washer. Keep the stalk pulled for more than half a
second, with just one movement, to operate windscreen washer/wiper
jet at the same time.
The wiper stops working three strokes after the stalk is released. A
further stroke after approximately 6 seconds completes the cycle.
RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is an infra-red LED sensor fitted on the car windscreen fig. 37.
It is able to detect the presence of rain and consequently manage
windscreen wiping in accordance with the amount of water on the
windscreen.
Activation
The sensor is activated when ring nut A fig. 36 is turned to “automatic”
position (“AUTO” control): the windscreen wiper stroke frequency is
thus adjusted in accordance with the amount of water on the
windscreen.
This frequency can vary from no stroke (no rain - windscreen dry) up
to the 2
ndconstant speed operation (heavy rain - windscreen wet).
The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be adjusted through the Set-up
menu (see paragraph “Menu Items” in this section).

INDICATIONS ON DISPLAY
(for versions/markets, where provided)
When the sensor is activated, the "Reconfigurable multifunction
display" (for versions/markets, where provided) shows the screen
illustrated in fig. 87.
Obstacle presence and distance information is therefore provided both
by the buzzer and the instrument panel display.
If there are several obstacles the closest one is indicated.
ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
When reverse gear is engaged an acoustic signal is automatically
activated if there is an obstacle within the range of operation.
The acoustic signal:
❒increases as the distance between the car and the obstacle
decreases;
❒becomes continuous when the distance between the car and the
obstacle is less than 30 cm and stops immediately if the distance
increases;
❒remains constant if the distance remains unchanged; if this situation
concerns the side sensors, the buzzer will stop after about 3 seconds
to avoid, for example, warning indications in the event of
manoeuvres along walls.
IMPORTANT The volume of the acoustic signal can be adjusted through
the option "Warning volume" of the "Set-Up menu".
Detection distances
❒Central operating range: 140 cm
❒Side operating range: 60 cm
If several obstacles are detected by the sensors, only the nearest one is
considered.
