POWER WINDOWS
MECHANISM fig. 128
Switches on the inner armrest of the driver’s door
control the following with the ignition key in the
MAR-ON position:
A to open/close the front left window;
B front right window opening/closing.
Continuous automatic operation
All versions are equipped with automatic raising and
lowering of the front, driver’s side window.
Keep one of the buttons pressed for longer than half
a second to operate the automatic continuous window
operation function. The window stops when it reaches
the end of travel position or when the button is pressed
again. The opening angle of the two doors may be increased
for more convenient loading and unloading. To carry out
this operation, press the button A-fig. 127; this allows
the doors to be opened to about 180 degrees.
This spring loaded system has activation
forces that were designed for optimum
comfort. Accidental knocks or a strong gust of
wind may release the springs and close the
doors spontaneously.
WARNING
With the doors opened to 180 degrees,
no locking system is effective. Do not
use this opening with the vehicle parked on
a gradient or when it is windy.

HEADLIGHTS
HEADLIGHT BEAM AIMING
The correct direction of the headlights is essential for
the comfort and safety of the driver and other road
users. To ensure the best visibility when travelling with
the headlights on, the headlight alignment must be
correct. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the
headlights properly adjusted.
HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT CORRECTOR
This device works with the ignition key in the MAR-ON
position and the dipped headlights on. The vehicle tilts
backwards when it is laden, raising the beam. The beams
must therefore be aimed again in this case. IMPORTANT Follow the instructions contained in the
assembly kit carefully. Assembly must be performed by
qualified personnel.
Respect the regulations in force
concerning maximum clearance.
Distribute the load evenly and when
driving, bear in mind the increased
sensitivity of the vehicle to side wind.
WARNING
Never exceed the permitted weight (see
“Technical data” section).
