The ring nut of light switch A fig. 27, located on the left side of the dashboard, controls operation of: side lights, daytime running lights, dipped beam headlights, fog lights, and instrument panel indicator and control button graphic lighting regulation.
With the ignition device turned to MAR, the instrument panel and the various controls on the dashboard will be lit up when the exterior lights are switched on.
This is an infrared LED sensor that works in conjunction with the rain sensor and is located on the windscreen. It is able to detect variations in outside lighting based on the light sensitivity set in the display menu or the Uconnect™ system.
The higher the sensitivity, the lower the amount of external light needed to automatically switch the external lights on.
Turn the light switch ring nut to AUTO.
IMPORTANT: The function can only be activated with the ignition device at MAR.
To deactivate the function, turn the light switch ring nut to a position other than AUTO.
Turn the light switch ring nut to position: side lights, dipped beam headlights, and instrument panel will light up; the warning light will come on the latter.
"Daytime Running Lights" (DRL) are automatically activated when the ignition device is turned to MAR and the light switch ring nut is turned to position O (the other lights and interior lighting remain off).
Press the button to turn on the fog lights with side lights and dipped beam headlights on.
When the fog lights are on, the side lights and number plate lights are also on, while the daytime running lights are off.
Press the button again or turn the switch ring nut to O to switch it off.
The button that controls switching on and off of the rear fog light is integrated into the light switch.
Press the button to turn on the rear fog light with side lights and fog lights on.
These lights can be switched on with the ignition device at STOP or with the key removed, by moving the light switch ring nut to position O and then to position I; the switch will go back to position O.
The warning light switches on in the instrument panel.
With headlights on, bring the ignition device to STOP. Within 45 seconds, turn the light switch to position O: the timing, previously set via Menu (0, 30, 60 to 90 seconds) starts.
This function is deactivated by switching on the headlights, the side lights, or bringing the ignition device to MAR.
If on the menu Uconnect™ the timer is set to 0 seconds, it is possible, using the high beam lever, to turn on the lights for a pre-set time of 30 seconds. It is possible to activate the lights 7 times up to a maximum of 210 seconds.
If, however, always acting on the "Settings" menu of Uconnect™, a timing is set (e.g. 30 or 60 seconds), every time the engine is switched off the "Follow Me Home" function will be active for that time (it will not be possible to change it by acting on the light switch).
With the light switch ring nut turned to position O or AUTO, push the left stalk A fig. 28 forwards, towards the dashboard.
With main beam headlights on, the warning light on the instrument panel will come on at the same time.
Pull stalk A toward yourself fig. 28, to the unstable 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.
In order not to disturb other road users, the main beam headlights are automatically deactivated when approaching vehicles travelling in the opposite direction or when following a vehicle travelling in the same direction. This function can be set through the display menu (see the instructions in the "Display" paragraph, "Knowing the instrument panel" chapter); the light switch ring nut must be turned to AUTO to activate.
The function is activated by pushing the stalk toward the dashboard (stable position); the warning light comes on in the instrument panel. The warning light will also come on in the instrument panel with main beam headlights on. If the vehicle is turned off with the setting described previously, the automatic main beam headlight function will need a new resetting: bring back the stalk in the centre position and then press it again towards the instrument panel.
When the speed is higher than 40 km/h and the function is active, if the stalk is brought again to the stable central position the function deactivates and the main beam headlights turn off.
When the speed is lower than 15 km/h and the function is active, the system automatically switches the main beam headlights off.
If the stalk is moved from the stable central position and pushed again towards the dashboard in the stable position, this is interpreted as a request for fixed main beam headlights: the warning light comes on in the instrument panel and the main beam headlights turn on until vehicle speed exceeds 40 km/h again. When this threshold is exceeded the function activates again automatically and the warning light comes on again in the instrument panel.
To deactivate this function, rotate the light switch ring nut to position 0.
Bring left stalk A fig. 28 to the (stable) position:
The corresponding warning light will flash on the instrument panel.
The direction indicators switch off automatically when the steering wheel is straightened or when the daytime running lights (DRL)/parking lights are activated.
If you wish to signal a lane change while driving, place the left stalk in the unstable position for less than half a second.
The direction indicator on the side selected will flash five times and then switch off automatically.
The headlight alignment corrector operates with the ignition device at MAR and dipped headlights on. To adjust, rotate ring nut A fig. 29.
IMPORTANT: Check the headlight alignment each time the weight of the load transported changes.
With side lights or headlights on, turn ring nut B fig. 29 upwards to increase light brightness of the instrument panel and of the control button graphics, or turn the ring nut downwards to decrease it.
