❒lift the hood with one hand and with the
other pull toward you the device A-fig.
92and then lower the lever B;
❒lower the hood to approximately 20
centimetres from the engine compart-

to lift it, that it is fully closed, not just
hooked in safety position. In the latter
case do not press on the hood, lift it
again and repeat the operation.IMPORTANT A label with a description
of the above engine hood opening/clos-
ing operations is located under the engine
hood (see fig. 92a).
The bonnet must always be
perfectly closed during trav-
el for safety reasons. Make sure that
the bonnet is perfectly closed and
that the lock is engaged. If you dis-
cover that the bonnet is not perfect-
ly closed during travel, stop immedi-
ately and close the bonnet in the cor-
rect manner.

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.

ABS SYSTEM
The vehicle is fitted with an ABS braking
system, which prevents the wheels from
locking when braking, makes the most of
road grip and gives the best control when
emergency braking under difficult road
conditions.
The system is completed by EBD (Elec-
tronic Braking Force Distribution), which
distributes the braking action between
front and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To achieve maximum effi-
ciency of the braking system, a running-
in period of about 500 km is required.
During this time, avoid sudden, repeated
and prolonged braking.ABS SYSTEM INTERVENTION
Intervention of the ABS is detected by a
slight pulsing of the brake pedal accompa-
nied by noise: such an event indicates that
you need to adjust your speed to the type
of road on which you are travelling.
When the ABS cuts in, and
you feel the brake pedal pul-
sating, do not remove your foot, but
keep it pressed; in doing so you will
stop in the shortest amount of space
possible depending on the current
road conditions.
WARNING
When the ABS trips, it means
that you are approaching
the grip limit between tyres and road:
slow down to exploit all the available
grip.
WARNING
The ABS system exploits the
tyre-road grip at best, but it
cannot improve it. Therefore, you
should take great care when driving
on slippery surfaces without taking
unnecessary risks.

FAILURE INDICATIONS
ABS failure
ABS failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning light
>on the instrument pan-
el (together with the dedicated message
on the display in some versions) (see sec-
tion “Warning lights and messages”).
In the case, the braking system preserves
its efficiency, but cannot rely on the ex-
tra potentials offered by the ABS system.
Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat Deal-
ership to have the system checked.EBD failure
EBD failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning lights
>and xon the instru-
ment panel (together with the dedicated
message on the display in some versions)
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).
In this case, the rear wheels may sudden-
ly lock and the vehicle may swerve. Dri-
ve carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership
to have the system checked.If warning light xonly lights
up on the instrument panel
(with a message on the display in
some versions), immediately stop the
vehicle and go to the nearest Fiat
Dealership. Leakage of hydraulic flu-
id from the braking system jeopardis-
es the functionality of the braking sys-
tem, either of the conventional type
or with ABS.
