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.

DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER (DPF) (for Multijet
versions 1.3 85 HP and 1.9 120
HP)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a me-
chanical filter, integral with the exhaust
system, that physically traps particulates
present in the exhaust gases of Diesel
engines.
The diesel particular filter has been
adopted to eliminate almost totally par-
ticulates in compliance with current /
future law regulations.
During normal use of the vehicle, the
engine control unit records a set of da-
ta (e.g.: travel time, type of route, tem-
peratures, etc.) and it will then calcu-
late how much particulates has been
trapped by the filter.Since this filter physically traps partic-
ulates, it shall be cleaned (reclaimed) at
regular intervals by burning carbon par-
ticles.
Reclaiming procedure is controlled
automatically by the engine control unit
according to the filter conditions and
the conditions of use of the vehicle.
During reclaiming the following phe-
nomena could take place: idling slight
increase, fan activation, slight smoke in-
crease, high exhaust temperatures.
These situations shall not be considered
as faults and they do not affect vehicle
performance and environment.
If the dedicated message is displayed,
refer to paragraph “Warning lights and
messages”.
