HEADLIGHTS
LIGHT BEAM DIRECTION
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 conditions when travelling with
the headlights on the headlight alignment must be correct.
Contact the Fiat Service Network to have the direction
checked and, if necessary, adjusted.
HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT CORRECTOR
This device works with the ignition key in the MAR posi-
tion and the dipped headlamps on.
The vehicle tilts backwards when it is laden, raising the light
beam. The direction of the beam must therefore be ad-
justed in this case.
After having travelled several kilometres,
check that the attachment retaining bolts
are still securely fastened.
WARNING
Never exceed the maximum permitted load
(see “Technical specifications”).
