evenly along the crossmember and fas-
ten it with ropes or similar.
IMPORTANTNever leave the
crossmember unfastened while the ve-
hicle is moving.

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.
