HEADLIGHTS
ADJUSTING THE
HEADLIGHT BEAM
The correct positioning of the head-
light beams is very important for the
comfort and safety, not only of the
person driving the vehicle but also all
other road users.
This is also covered by a specific law.
To ensure you and other drivers
have the best visibility conditions when
travelling with the headlights on, the
headlights must be set properly.
Have the headlight positioning
checked at a Fiat Dealershipand ad-
justed if necessary.SLANT COMPENSATION
The vehicle is fitted with an electri-
cal device for correcting the headlight
slant. The device can be operated with
ignition key at MARand dipped
beams on.
When the vehicle is loaded, it
“slopes” backwards. This means that
the headlight beam rises. In this case,
it is necessary to return it to the cor-
rect position.
Proceed as follows:
– hold button B-fig. 139pressed to
increase by one position (e.g.: 0➟1,
1➟2, 2➟3);
– hold button Apressed to decrease
by one position (e.g.: 3➟2, 2➟1, 1➟0).
Display Cshows the positions dur-
ing the adjustment.

89GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
ABS
The vehicle can be 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 driver can tell the ABS system
has come into play because the brake
pedal pulsates slightly and the system
gets noisier.
This should not be interpreted as a
fault in the brakes; on the contrary it
is a sign that the ABS system is work-
ing: it tells the driver that the vehicle
is travelling at the limit of its road grip
and that he should alter his speed to
fit the type of road surface.
The ABS system is an addition to the
basic braking system. If there is a mal-
function, the system turns off auto-
matically and only the ordinary brakes
continue to work.If a failure occurs, and consequently
the anti-lock function is not effective,
the braking system will continue to
work as usual.
If you have never driven a vehicle
with ABS before, you should practice
using the system on slippery terrain,
obviously with the necessary safety
precautions and keeping to the High-
way Code of the country you are in.
It is also a good idea to read the fol-
lowing information carefully.
The advantage in using the ABS sys-
tem is that it continues to give you
maximum manoeuvrability even when
braking hard in conditions of poor grip
by preventing the wheels locking.
You should, however, not expect the
braking distance to always decrease:
for example surfaces with gravel or
fresh snow on a slippery road will in
fact increase the braking distance. Correct positions as a function
of the load
0- one or two occupants in the
front seats.
1- five occupants.
2- five occupants + load in boot.
3- driver + maximum permissible
load stowed in boot.
Check the headlight
beam position every time
you change the load to be
carried.
HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENT
ABROAD
Headlights are orientated as to drive
inside the country of origin before sell-
ing the vehicle. When travelling in
countries with opposite driving direc-
tion, you need to cover the headlight
areas according to the Road Code of
the country you are travelling in.

130IN AN EMERGENCY
IF A BULB BURNS OUT
Modifications or repairs
to the electrical system
carried out incorrectly
and without bearing the features
of the system in mind can cause
malfunctions with the risk of fire.Only touch the metal
part when handling halo-
gen bulbs. If the transpar-
ent bulb is touched it reduces the
intensity of the light emitted and
can also reduce the life of the
bulb. If you touch the bulb acci-
dentally, rub it with a cloth moist-
ened with alcohol and leave it to
dry.
You should have the
bulbs replaced at a Fiat
Dealership. Always check
the height of the headlight beam
after changing a bulb.
Halogen bulbs contain
pressurised gas which, if
broken, may cause small
fragments of glass to be project-
ed outwards.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
– When a light is not working, check
that it has not fused before changing
the bulb.
– For the location of the fuses, re-
fer to “If a fuse blows” in this chap-
ter.
– Before replacing a bulb that does
not work, check that the contacts are
not oxidised.
– Burnt-out bulbs must be replaced
with ones of the same type.
– Always check the height of the
headlight beam after changing a bulb.
IMPORTANTThe headlight inner
surface may be lightly misted over: this
is not a fault but a natural fact due to
low temperature and the level of air
humidity. It will disappear as soon the
headlights are turned on. The pres-
ence of drops inside the headlights
means water infiltration, therefore
contact Fiat Dealership.

IF AN EXTERIOR LIGHT BURNS OUT
Alterations or repairs to
the electric system not
carried out correctly and
without taking into account the
system specifications may cause
failures and the risk of fire.
