AUTOMATIC LIGHTING
CONTROL (AUTOLIGHT)
(dusk sensor)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is an infrared LED sensor located
on the windscreen, which detects
variations in outside light levels.
Activation: turn ring nut A fig. 27 to
.
With dusk sensor active, with daytime
running lights (DRL) on, it is not
possible to keep the main beam
headlights on constantly; only flashing
is permitted. In these conditions, the
main beam headlights can be turned on
by turning the ring nut to
and
pushing the stalk towards the
dashboard; otherwise, wait until the
dusk sensor indicates a low light level
(dipped beam headlights on).
On automatic sensor controlled
deactivation, the dipped beam
headlights are deactivated first,
followed by the side lights a few
seconds later.IMPORTANT The sensor cannot detect
the presence of fog. These lights must
therefore be switched on manually in
these circumstances.
MAIN BEAM HEADLIGHTS
With ring nut in position
, push the
stalk forward toward the dashboard
(stable position) to turn on the lights.
The
warning light on the instrument
panel turns on.
The lights are switched off by pulling
the stalk towards the steering wheel.
FLASHING
Pull the left stalk fig. 29 toward yourself,
to the stable position; the stalk goes
back to the central stable position when
it is released. With main beam
headlights on, the
warning light on
the instrument panel will come on at
the same time.DIRECTION INDICATORS
Place the lever in the (stable) position:
upwards:right-hand direction indicator
activation/downwards:left-hand
direction indicator activation.
The
orwarning light will blink on
the instrument panel.
The direction indicators are switched off
automatically when the steering wheel
is straightened.
"Lane change" function
If you wish to signal a lane change,
place the left stalk in the unstable
position for less than half a second. The
direction indicator on the side selected
will be activated for 5 flashes and
then go out automatically.
“Cornering lights”
When the dipped beam headlights are
on and the speed is below 40 km/h,
if the steering wheel rotation angle
is large or the direction indicators are
on, a light (incorporated in the fog light)
will come on on the relevant side to
improve visibility at night time.
COURTESY LIGHTS
The function can be enabled and its
times set use the "Settings" Menu
of theUconnect™system. When the
doors are unlocked, the side lights
and puddle lights come on for the time
set in the menu.

Once any door is opened, the lights
remain on for a further 180 seconds, or
for a further 10 seconds after the door
is closed.
"FOLLOW ME HOME"
DEVICE
This allows the space in front of the car
to be lit for a set time.
Activation
With the key turned to STOP or
removed, pull the left-hand stalk
towards the steering wheel within 2
minutes from when the engine is turned
off. Each time the stalk is operated,
the lights stay on for an extra 30
seconds up to a maximum of 210
seconds. When this time is up the lights
automatically switch off.
Each time the stalk is operated, the
warning light
on the instrument
panel switches on. The display shows a
message and the time set for the
function. The
warning light comes
on when the stalk is first operated
and stays on until the function is
automatically deactivated.Deactivation
Keep the stalk pulled towards the
steering wheel for more than 2
seconds.
WARNING
20)The daytime running lights are an
alternative to the dipped beam headlights
for driving during the daytime in countries
where it is compulsory to have lights on
during the day; where it is not compulsory,
the use of daytime running lights is
permitted.
21)Daytime running lights cannot replace
dipped beam headlights when driving at
night or through tunnels. The use of
daytime running lights is governed by the
Highway Code of the country in which you
are driving. Comply with legal
requirements.
INTERIOR LIGHTS

When the power steering is on, the
steering wheel effort is lighter, making
parking easier: therefore, this function is
particularly useful for driving in city
centres.
WARNING
32)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installation of anti-theft
device) that could adversely affect
performance and safety, invalidate the
warranty and also result in the car not
meeting type-approval requirements.
33)Before performing any maintenance
operations, always turn off the engine and
remove the key from the ignition to lock the
steering column (especially when the car
wheels are not touching the ground). If this
is not possible (for example if the key
needs to be turned to MAR or the engine
must be running), remove the main fuse
that protects the electric power steering.

will allow a reduction in fuel
consumption.
"SHIFT UP" icon
SHIFT: the GSI
suggests shifting up.
"SHIFT DOWN" icon
SHIFT: the
GSI suggests shifting down. The icon
remains displayed until a gear is shifted
or the driving conditions go back to a
situation where gearshifting is not
required, to improve consumption.CONTROL BUTTONS

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
IMPORTANT The warning light switches on together with a dedicated message and/or acoustic signal when applicable. These
indications are indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to the
information contained in the Owner Handbook, which you are advised to read carefully in all cases. In the event of a failure
indication, always refer to the contents of this chapter.
IMPORTANT The failure indicators which are shown on the display are divided into two categories: very serious and less
serious failures. Very serious faults prompt a prolonged cycle of signals. Less serious faults prompt a shorter cycle of signals.
The display cycle of both categories can be interrupted. The instrument panel warning light will stay on until the cause of the
failure is eliminated.
WARNING LIGHTS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL
Red warning lights
Warning light What it means
redLOW BRAKE FLUID/HANDBRAKE ENGAGED
The warning light switches on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few
seconds.
Low brake fluid level
The warning light turns on when the level of the brake fluid in the reservoir falls below the minimum level,
possibly due to a leak in the circuit. On some versions a message and a symbol are shown on the display.
Restore the brake fluid level, then check that the warning light has switched off. If the warning light stays
on, contact a Fiat Dealership.
Handbrake engaged
The warning light (or symbol on the display) switches on when the handbrake is engaged. On certain
versions, if the car is moving the buzzer will also sound. Release the handbrake, then check that the
warning light has switched off. If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT If the warning light comes on while driving, check that the handbrake is not on.
