HEADLIGHTS
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHT
BEAM
Proper adjustment of the headlight beams
is of vital importance for your safety and
comfort and also for the other road users.
To ensure you and other drivers have the
best visibility conditions when travelling
with the headlights on, the headlights must
be set properly. Contact Fiat Dealership
to have the headlights properly adjusted.
Headlight aiming device
The device can be operated with the ig-
nition key at MARand dipped beam head-
lights on. When the car is loaded, it slopes
backwards. This means that the headlight
beam rises. In this case, it is necessary to
return it to the correct position.
To adjust the headlight slant
fig. 126
To adjust the headlight slant operate but-
tons
and Òlocated on the dashboard.
The display provides the visual indication
of the positions during the adjustment op-
eration.

Position 0- one or two people occupy-
ing the front seats.
Position 1- five people.
Position 2- five people + load in the boot.
Position 3- driver + maximum permissi-
ble load stowed in the boot.
IMPORTANT Check beam aiming every
time the load carried changes.
HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENT
ABROAD
The dipped-beam headlights are adjusted
for circulation in the country in which the
vehicle is marketed.
In countries with opposite circulation, to
avoid glaring oncoming vehicles, it is nec-
essary to cover the areas of the headlight
as shown below: this is done using non-
transparent sticker tape.Fig. 127-128refer to passing from right-
hand drive to left-hand drive.
