► Press brieﬂy upwards or downwards, without

going beyond the point of resistance; the

direction indicators will ﬂash 3 times.

Travelling abroad

If planning to use your vehicle in a

country that drives on the other side of the

road, the dipped beam headlamps must be

adjusted to avoid dazzling oncoming drivers.

Contact a Fiat Dealership or a qualiﬁed

workshop.

Daytime running lamps/

Sidelamps

Do not forget to switch oﬀ the foglamps when

they are no longer necessary.

Switching on the lamps after

switching oﬀ the ignition

To reactivate the lighting control, rotate the

ring to the "0" position - lamps oﬀ, then to the

desired position.

Direction indicators

If the driver's door is opened, a temporary

audible signal warns the driver that the lamps

are on.

They will go oﬀ automatically after a period

of time that depends on the level of charge in

the battery (entering energy economy mode).

If the vehicle is so equipped, they come on

automatically when the engine is started, when

the lighting control stalk is in position "0" or

"AUTO".

Switching oﬀ of the lighting when the

ignition is switched oﬀ

When the ignition is switched oﬀ, all of the

lamps turn oﬀ immediately, except for the

dipped beam headlamps if automatic guide-

me-home lighting is activated.

► Left or right: lower or raise the lighting control

stalk, beyond the point of resistance.

Automatic headlamp

When a low level of ambient light is detected

by a sunshine sensor, the number plate

lamps, sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps

are switched on automatically, without any action

on the part of the driver. They can also come

If you keep the direction indicators on for

more than 20 seconds, the volume of the

audible signal will increase if the speed is

above 50 mph (80 km/h).

temperature or humidity), misting on the

internal surface of the glass of the headlamps

and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear

Malfunction

The remote operation of the lighting makes your

approach to the vehicle easier in poor light. It

is activated when the lighting control is in the

"AUTO" position and the level of light detected

by the sunshine sensor is low.

In the event of a malfunction of the rain/sunshine

sensor, the vehicle’s lamps come on and this

warning lamp is displayed on the instrument

panel, accompanied by an audible signal and/or

the display of a message.

Switching on

Have it checked by a Fiat Dealership or a

qualiﬁed workshop.

Press this button on the remote control or

on one of the front door handles with the

"Keyless Entry and Start" system.

The dipped beam headlamps and sidelamps

come on; your vehicle is also unlocked.

► With the ignition oﬀ, pull the lighting control

stalk toward you ("headlamp ﬂash") to activate/

deactivate the function.

Manual guide-me-home lighting goes oﬀ

automatically after a period of time.

Do not cover the rain/sunshine sensor

located at the top centre of the

windscreen behind the interior rear view

mirror; the associated functions would no

longer be controlled.

Switching oﬀ

Automatic

The exterior welcome lighting switches oﬀ

automatically after a set time, when the ignition

is switched on or on locking the vehicle.

In fog or snow, the rain/sunshine sensor

may detect suﬃcient light. For this

reason, the lighting will not come on

automatically.

With the "Automatic illumination of lamps"

function activated (lighting control stalk in the

"AUTO" position) and when the light is poor, the

dipped beam headlamps come on automatically

when the ignition is switched oﬀ.

With the ring in the "AUTO" position and when

the light is poor, the dipped beam headlamps

come on automatically when the ignition is

switched oﬀ.

Programming

With audio system or touch screen

The inner surface of the windscreen may

become misted up and aﬀect the proper

operation of the rain/sunshine sensor.

In humid and cold weather, demist the

windscreen regularly.

The activation, deactivation and

duration of the welcome lighting

can be set via the vehicle conﬁguration menu.

89

Lighting and visibility

The system becomes operational when

the vehicle exceeds 16 mph (25 km/h).

When the speed falls below 9 mph (15 km/h),

the function is no longer operational.

► A "headlamp ﬂash" pauses the

function and the lighting system switches

to "automatic illumination of lamps" mode:

– If the "AUTO" and "Dipped beam" indicator

lamps were on, the system changes to main

beam.

– If the "AUTO" and "Main beam"

indicator lamps were on, the system changes to

dipped beam.

For more information, refer to the

General recommendations for

automatic lighting systems.

Activation/Deactivation

With the ring of the lighting control stalk in the

"AUTO" position and the function activated on

the touch screen, this system automatically

switches between dipped and main beam

headlamps, according to lighting and traﬃc

conditions, using a camera located at the top of

the windscreen.

With audio system

► To reactivate the function, once again switch

the headlamps manually between dipped and

main beam.

Flashing the headlamps does not

deactivate the system.

The state of the system is stored when the

ignition is switched oﬀ.

► To activate or deactivate the system, press

this button.

The indicator lamp in the button is on when the

function is activated.

The system may be disrupted or not work

correctly:

– When visibility conditions are poor

(snowfall, heavy rain, etc.).

– If the windscreen in front of the camera is

dirty, misted or obscured (for example, by a

sticker).

With touch screen

The settings are adjusted via the vehicle

conﬁguration menu.

– If the vehicle is facing highly reﬂective

signs.

► Then put the lighting control stalk ring in the

"AUTO" or "Dipped/main beam position".

This system is a driving aid.

The driver remains responsible for

the vehicle's lighting, its correct use in the

prevailing light, visibility and traﬃc conditions,

and for compliance with driving and vehicle

regulations.

When the system detects thick fog, it

temporarily deactivates the function.

The system is not able to detect:

– Road users that do not have their own

lighting, such as pedestrians.

Pause

If the situation requires a change of headlamp

beam, the driver can take over at any time.
