HEADLIGHTS
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHT
BEAM
Proper adjustment of the headlight beams
is of vital importance for your safety and
comfort and also for the other road users.
To ensure you and other drivers have the
best visibility conditions when travelling
with the headlights on, the headlights must
be set properly. Contact Fiat Dealership
to have the headlights properly adjusted.
IMPORTANT When turning on gas dis-
charge headlight lamps (where provided),
it is normal that there should be a vertical
movement of lenses, and consequently the
same will also happen to the light beam,
for the time required to achieve the cor-
rect headlight trim stabilisation, equal to
approx. 2 seconds.HEADLIGHT AIMING DEVICE
This device can be operated with the ig-
nition key at MARand dipped beams on.
When the car is loaded, it slopes back-
wards. This means that the headlight beam
rises. In this case, it is necessary to return
it to the correct position.
To adjust the headlight slant
Press button A-fig. 122located on the
mask aside the steering wheel column; if
the car is fitted with gas discharge head-
lights (xenon), slant adjustment is elec-
tronic and therefore button Ais not pre-
sent.Press button Aat arrow
Nthis will in-
crease by one position, press the arrow
Oon the button, this will lower by one
position.
The display B-fig. 122located on the in-
strument panel, provides the visual indi-
cation of the positions during the adjust-
ment operation.
Correct positions as a function
of the load
Position 0- one or two passengers on
front seats.
Position 1- five passengers.
Position 2- five passengers + load in the
boot.
Position 3- driver + maximum admitted
load in the boot.
IMPORTANT Check beam aiming every
time the load carried changes.

ADJUSTMENT

HEADLIGHT BEAM
ADJUSTMENT ABROAD
The dipped beam headlights are adjusted
for circulation in the country in which the
car is marketed. In countries with oppo-
site circulation, to avoid glaring oncom-
ing vehicles, it is necessary to cover the
areas of the headlight using a special stick-
er tape provided for the purpose and avail-
able at Lineaccessori Fiat. Contact Fiat
Dealership.ABS SYSTEM
The car is fitted with ABS braking system,
which prevents the wheels from locking
when braking, makes the most of road grip
and gives the best control when emer-
gency braking under difficult road condi-
tions.
System is completed by EBD (Electronic
Braking Force Distribution), which dis-
tributes the braking action between front
and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To have the maximum ef-
ficiency of the braking system, it is neces-
sary a setting period of about 500 km: dur-
ing this period, it is better to avoid sharp,
repeated and prolonged brakes.ABS SYSTEM INTERVENTION
When the ABS cuts in, you will feel the
brake pedal pulsating slightly and the sys-
tem get noisier: it means that the speed
should be altered to fit the type of road
surface.
If the ABS system cuts in, it is a sign that
the grip between tyre and the road sur-
face has reached the limit: you must slow
down to match the speed to the road grip
available.
If the ABS system cuts in it
is a sign that the grip be-
tween the tyre and the road surface
has reached the limit you must slow
down to match the speed to the road
grip available.

WHEN NEEDING TO
CHANGE A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒When a light is not working, check that
the corresponding fuse is intact before
changing a bulb. For the location of fus-
es, refer to the paragraph “If a fuse
blows” in this section;
❒ Before changing a bulb check the con-
tacts for oxidation;
❒Burnt bulbs must be replaced by oth-
ers of the same type and power;
❒ Always check the height of the head-
light beam after changing a bulb.Halogen bulbs must be han-
dled touching only the metal-
lic part. If the transparent bulb
is touched with the fingers, its
lighting intensity is reduced and life of
the bulb may be compromised. If
touched accidentally, rub the bulb with
a cloth moistened with alcohol and al-
low to dry.
Modifications or repairs to
the electrical system (elec-
tronic control units) carried out in-
correctly and without bearing the fea-
tures of the system in mind can cause
malfunctions with the risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surised gas which, if broken,
may cause small fragments of glass to
be projected outwards.
WARNING
Due to high voltage, the bulb
of (Xenon) gas-discharge
headlights must only be replaced by
experts: danger of death! Contact Fi-
at Dealership.
WARNING
IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface
may be lightly misted over: this is not a
fault but a natural fact due to low tem-
perature and the level of air humidity. It
will disappear as soon the headlights are
turned on. The presence of drops inside
the headlights means water infiltration,
therefore contact Fiat Dealership.
