DIRECTION INDICATORS fig. 40

Put the stalk in the permanent position:
❒ Up (position 1): right-hand direction in-

dicator;

❒ Down (position 2): left-hand direction

indicator.

The

lights will blink on the in-

strument panel.

Indicators are switched off automatically
when the steering wheel is straightened.

If you want the indicator to flash briefly to
show that you are about to change lane,
move the stalk up or down without it
clicking into position. When released, the
stalk will return to its default position.

Lane change function

If you wish to signal a lane change, put the
left stalk in the temporary 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.

“FOLLOW ME HOME” DEVICE

This will light up the space in front of the
vehicle for a certain period of time.

Activation

With the key turned to STOP or re-
moved, pull the left-hand stalk towards the
steering wheel within 2 minutes from
when the engine is turned off.

Each time the stalk is moved, the lights
stay on for an extra 30 seconds up to
a maximum of 210 seconds; then the lights
are switched off automatically.

When the stalk is moved, the light

the instrument panel will light up and the
corresponding message will appear in the
display (see “Warning lights and mes-
sages”) as long as the function is on. The
light comes on when the stalk is first
moved and stays on until the function is
automatically deactivated. Each movement
of the stalk increases only the amount of
time the lights stay on.

Deactivation

Keep the stalk pulled towards the steer-
ing wheel for more than 2 seconds.
