Strange message on my fiat...? (1 Viewer)

[Just smiffy]

Turned the engine off today after driving about 40mins and I noticed the info screen said

Follow me
30s

And the lights on indicator was showing my lights where on when they weren’t...?

It went off after 10sec

2012 2.3 150bhp comformatic

Any body seen anything like it..?

 

[Silver-Fox]

Yep it’s about to expire.
I’ll give you 1k for at as a fixer upper

Sounds to me that you have set the ‘follow me’ light setting that puts on the headlights for a while after leaving the vehicle

It’s a delayed lights off so that you can get to your house door with lights showing the way. Didn’t know Ducatos had them?

That rings a bell... now how would I have managed to turn that on...? I haven’t had a fiddle with anything for ages..

On Angela’s car the key fob has three buttons. The middle one puts the headlights on for thirty seconds.

I’ll do Coventry for you.....

Get you arse out here so I can take the piss, I’m bored .....

It's the Gremlins, Ducato doesn''t have that feature but the chip in the cluster may be used in other vehicles that do.

On a Fiat 500, if you knock the headlamp stalk forward towards you within 2 minutes of turning off engine you will get the follow me feature.
Maybe there’s a 500 under your dashboard

To Deactivate feature pull stalk towards you and hold for 2 seconds.

Mine does. Pull the main beam stalk back within 2 minutes of switching off the ignition to activate. Successive pulls of the stalk lengthen the amount of time that the lights remain on then cycle back to off. It's explained in the handbook.

I’ll try all the above but I’ll do it tomorrow in the daylight...... otherwise the other campers might think I’m giving them the flash for dogging....

I shall have to try that, On my 3rd Ducato didn't know you were supposed to read the handbook.

My Land rover does it too. The lights stay on for a preset time after turning off to see you to your door. It is rarely useful as you are often facing the wrong way or it switches off when you're half Way across a dark pub carpark just before you trip in a pothole.

Perhaps it's a message from your mistress:

Follow me

and this is her 'pet name' for you ... I wonder why????
