This function allows you to set a
timing for activation of the position
lights and low beams, so that they may
remain on for a set time after turning
off the vehicle.
This function is activated by pushing
the left-hand multifunction lever on
the steering column, used to flash the
headlights.
The position lights and low beams turn
on for 30 seconds, the message
“Follow me” appears on the
instrument cluster display for 20seconds, and the light activation time
is displayed.
When this function is active, every
time the left-hand multifunction lever
for flashing the headlights is operated,
the time the lights remain on is
increased by 30 seconds, with a
maximum total time of 210 seconds.
The display will show the time set.
If the left-hand multifunction lever for
flashing the headlights is operated for
more than 2 seconds, the function is
deactivated, and the indicator on the
instrument cluster display goes off.
When the function is active, turning
the key in the ignition switch back to

Sport Skyhook Suspension
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The electronic system controlling the
vehicle suspension uses the
sophisticated on board sensors and is
aimed at optimizing vehicle
performance.
The system is capable of constantly
monitoring suspension damping by
means of the actuator fitted on each
shock absorber (Skyhook type). This
way, the shock absorber setting is
suited to the road surface conditions
and vehicle dynamics, thus improving
passenger comfort and road-holding.
By pressing button “SPORT” on the
central console, the driver can choose,
even while driving, a normal or
dynamic-type setting for the
suspension, depending on their own
driving style.This way, the system operates with a
shock absorber “softer” setting in
NORMAL drive mode, and a “harder”
setting if SPORT drive mode is selected
(see “Drive Mode” in section
“Driving”).
The strategy used by the system
controlling suspension damping is
aimed at reducing the vertical
oscillations of the vehicle (rolling and
pitching) to a minimum.
The activation of SPORT drive mode
sets the suspension for sports-style
driving and acts on the ASR and
gearbox systems as well, modifying
their setting for dynamic-style driving.
System Components
The system is controlled by an ECU
which manages the solenoid valves on
each shock absorber in response to the
sensor signals, thus adjusting
suspension damping and setting.The sensors which enable the ECU to
calculate the vehicle speed, vertical
and side acceleration, as well as the
instantaneous braking system
pressure, thereby controlling
suspension damping, are the
following:
• front left-hand vertical acceleration
sensor;
• front right-hand vertical acceleration
sensor;
• rear vertical acceleration sensor;
• front left-hand wheel acceleration
sensor;
• front right-hand wheel acceleration
sensor;
• lateral acceleration sensor;
• driving speed sensor;
• brake pedal switch.
Self-diagnostics
Whenever the engine is started, the
system performs a self-diagnostic
cycle. If a malfunction is found, the
amber warning light is displayed
accompanied by the message “Check
suspensions” (see paragraph
"Malfunction Indicators" in this
chapter).
