INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING
ADJUSTMENT
(Brightness sensor) (Sport versions with
reconfigurable multifunction display)
Sport versions with reconfigurable multifunction
display are equipped with a brightness sensor (fitted
inside the speedometer) capable of detecting
ambient light conditions and adjusting the
brightness of the instrument panel accordingly.The behaviour of the instrument is as follow:
❒in "daytime" mode the display can be adjusted to
8 settings, the graphics are switched off, the
indexes are fully lit up and cannot be adjusted;
❒in "nighttime" mode the display, the graphics and
the indexes can be adjusted to 8 settings. The
brightness of the radio and automatic dual zone
climate control display is also adjusted.
The brightness setting depends on the values
previously configured using the setup menu on the
reconfigurable multifunction display (see "Lighting"
in the "Reconfigurable multifunction display"
paragraph).
The instrument panel graphics brightness may
change (from on to off ) whilst the vehicle is moving
following an event that causes a switch from
daytime to nighttime conditions in the passenger
compartment (for example, entering a tunnel).

HEADLIGHTSLIGHT BEAM DIRECTION
The correct direction of the headlights is essential
for the comfort and safety of the driver and other
road users. The headlights must be correctly
directed to ensure the best visibility. Contact a Fiat
Dealership to have the headlights checked and
adjusted.
IMPORTANT When the gas discharge (Xenon)
bulbs (for versions/markets, where provided) are
switched on, normally parabolas and light beam
move vertically for about 2 seconds until headlight
alignment has stabilised.
HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT CORRECTOR
This device works with the ignition key in the
MAR-ON position and the dipped headlights on.
The car will tilt backwards when it is loaded, raising
the light beam. The beams must therefore be
realigned in this case.
Adjusting headlights alignment
Press buttons A and B fig. 102 on the central trim;
gas discharge headlights (Xenon) are electronically
adjusted and therefore the buttons A and B are not
present.
Press button A to increase the light beam of one
position. Press button B to decrease the light beam
of one position.Displays C in the instrument panel provide a visual
indication of the positions during adjustment.
Correct positions depending on the load
Position 0 -
one or two occupants in the front
seats.
Position 1 -
five people
Position 2
five people with a load in the luggage
compartment
Position 3
driver + maximum permitted load
stowed in the luggage compartment.
IMPORTANT Check the alignment of the light
beams each time the weight of the load transported
changes.
FOG LIGHT ALIGNMENT
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the lights
checked and adjusted, if necessary.
