HEADLIGHTS
BEAM DIRECTION
The correct orientation of the headlights
is important for drivers comfort and safe-
ty. Besides, it is a specific rule of the high-
way code.
The headlights must be correctly directed
to ensure the best visibility conditions for
all drivers.
Contact Abarth Dealership to have the
headlights properly adjusted.
Check beam aiming every time the load or
its distribution changes.
IMPORTANT When turning on (Xenon)
gas discharge headlight lamps (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided), it is nor-
mal that there should be a vertical move-
ment of reflectors, and consequently the
same will also happen to the light beam,
for the time required to achieve the cor-
rect headlight trim stabilisation, equal to
approx. 2 seconds.
ROOF RACK/SKI RACK
