tionary and the engine is not running.
The head restraints must be adjust-
ed so that they support your neck and
not your head. Only in this way they
fullfill their protective action.
To optimise the protective action of
head restraints, adjust the backrest
upright and keep your head as close
as possible to the head restraint.

til hearing the click (position of use) indi-
cating that it has come all the way out.

sengers must always set the head re-
straints in the “all the way out” position.

HEADLIGHTS
DIRECTING THE BEAM
Correct direction of the headlights is es-
sential for the comfort and safety of the
driver and the other road users. To en-
sure the best visibility conditions during
travel with the headlights on the vehicle
must have beams aimed correctly. Con-
tact the Fiat Dealership to have the head-
lights checked and properly adjusted.
HEADLIGHT AIMING DEVICE
This device works with the key at MAR
and the dipped beam headlights on.
The vehicle slants backwards when it is
loaded, raising the beam. The beams must
therefore be directed again in this case.Headlight aiming device regulation
To adjust, press buttons Òand
fig. 95
on the control panel.
The display located on the instrument pan-
el provides a visual indication of the posi-
tions during adjustment operations.
Position 0 - one or two passengers on
front seats.
Position 1 - five passengers.
Position 2 - five passengers + loaded
boot.
Position 3 - driver + maximum admitted
cargo in the boot.
IMPORTANT Check beam aiming when-
ever the weight of the load carried
changes.FOG LIGHT AIMING DEVICE
(where provided)
Contact the Fiat Dealership to have the
fog lights checked and properly adjusted.
REGULATING THE BEAMS
ABROAD
Dipped beams factory adjustment depends
on the country where the vehicle is pur-
chased. In countries driving on the left, the
beams are aimed by affixing a purposeful-
ly studied adhesive film in order not to
dazzle the vehicles travelling in the oppo-
site direction. This adhesive film is pro-
vided in Lineaccessori Fiat and is available
at the Fiat Dealership.
