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 direction checked and, if necessary,
adjusted.
HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT CORRECTOR

the beam.
The beams must therefore be aimed again in this
case.
