HEADLIGHTS
BEAM DIRECTION
Correct direction of the headlights is es-
sential for the comfort and safety of the
driver and the other road users. The head-
lights must be correctly directed to ensure
the best visibility conditions when the
headlights are on. Contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship to have the headlights properly ad-
justed.
HEADLIGHT CORRECTOR
This device works with the key at MAR
and the dipped beam headlights on. The
car will slant backwards when it is loaded,
raising the light beam. The beams must
therefore be directed again in this case.
Adjusting headlight alignment

IMPORTANT Check beam aiming every
time the load carried changes.
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS
WHEN ABROAD
The dipped headlamps are adjusted for
service in the country where the vehicle
was originally purchased. When travelling
in countries on the other side of the road,
cover the headlight as shown in the figure.
Use non-transparent adhesive for this pur-
pose.The figures fig. 123-124 show how to
change from left-hand drive to right-hand
drive.

The buzzer can be deactivated (until the
next engine stop) as follows:
❒fasten the driver’s seat belt;
❒turn the ignition key to MAR;
❒wait for over 20 seconds and then re-
lease one of the seat belts.
For permanent deactivation, contact the
Fiat Dealership.
The S.B.R. can only be reactivated using
the setup menu (see the “Warning lights
and messages” chapter, “Seat belt re-
minder” paragraph).
For other versions, the system must also
be reactivated by a Fiat Dealership.
ADJUSTING THE FRONT SEAT
BELT HEIGHT
(where provided)
Always adjust the seat belt height to the
passenger’s body: this precaution may
considerably reduce the risk of injury in
the event of a collision. Correct regulation is obtained when the
belt passes approximately half way be-
tween the shoulder and the neck.
To adjust, move the grip A-fig. 4of the
locking mechanism either up or down and
at the same time move the ring B to the
most suitable of the allowed positions.
USING THE MIDDLE SEAT BELT
(where provided)
The seat belt is provided with a double
buckle and fastening tab.
To prepare the seat belt for use, extract
the tabs from seat H and P-fig. 5of the
winder and pull the seat belt, making the
webbing run. Avoid twisting and tugging.
Then insert tab G-fig. 6into the buckle
Lwith button M.
Remember that in the event
of a violent collision, back
seat passengers not wearing seat belts
also represent a serious danger for
the front seat passengers.
WARNING
The height of the seat belts
must be adjusted with the
car at a standstill.
WARNING
After adjustment, always
check that the cursor to
which the ring is fastened is locked
in one of the set positions. Release
the grip and push downwards to en-
able the locking device to click if the
grip has not been released in one of
the possible positions.
