DIRECTION INDICATORS fig. 43

Push the stalk to (stable) position:
❒ Up (position 1): right-hand direction in-

dicator;

❒ Down (position 2): left-hand direction

indicator.

Warning light

will come on flash-

ing on the instrument cluster at the same
time.

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 click-
ing into position (unstable position). When
released the stalk will return to its home
position.

“FOLLOW ME HOME” DEVICE

This function allows the illumination of the
space in front of the car for a preset pe-
riod of time.

Activation

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

At each single movement of the stalk, the
staying on of the lights is extended by 30
seconds up to a maximum of 210 seconds;
then the lights are switched off automati-
cally.

Each time the lever is operated, the in-
strument panel warning light

will turn

on together with a message on the display
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”) until the function is active. The
warning light comes on the first time the
lever is operated and will stay on up to au-
tomatic function deactivation. Each oper-
ation of the lever will extend lights switch-
ing on time.

Deactivation

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