ABS SYSTEM
(for versions/markets where provided)
This is an integral part of the braking system, which pre-
vents one or more wheels from locking or slipping re-
gardless of the road surface conditions and braking action,
giving the best control during emergency braking.
The EBD system (Electronic Braking Force Distribution)
completes the system, allowing the braking action to be
distributed between the front and rear wheels.
WARNING For maximum efficiency of the braking sys-
tem, a bedding-in period of about 500 km is needed: dur-
ing this period it is better to avoid sharp, repeated and pro-
longed braking.
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
The driver can tell the ABS system has come into action
because the brake pedal pulsates slightly and the system
gets noisier: it means that the vehicle speed should be al-
tered to suit the type of road surface.
Headlamp alignment adjustment
To adjust, press buttons Òandfig. 100 on the control
panel.
The display located on the instrument panel provides the
visual indication of the positions during the adjustment op-
eration.
Position 0 – one or two people in the front seats.
Position 1 – five people.
Position 2 – five people + load in the boot.
Position 3 – driver + maximum permitted load stowed in the luggage compartment.
WARNING Check the light beam alignment every time
the load transported changes.
FOG LIGHT DIRECTION
(for versions/markets where provided)
Contact the Fiat Service Network to have the direction
checked and, if necessary, adjusted.
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN
ABROAD
The dipped headlamps are adjusted to work in the coun-
try where the vehicle was originally purchased. When in
countries where you drive on the other side of the road,
you need to alter the light beam direction by affixing a spe-
cially designed self-adhesive film in order not to dazzle the
vehicles travelling in the opposite direction. This film is
provided by Lineaccessori Fiat and is available at Fiat Ser-
vice Network.
When the ABS intervenes and you notice
the brake pedal pulsating, do not be afraid
to keep the pedal pushed down. This will help you
to stop in the shortest distance possible, depend-
ing on the road conditions.

INDEXCHANGING A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒ Before changing a bulb, check the contacts for rusting;
❒ burnt-out bulbs must be replaced by others of the same
type and wattage;
❒ always check the direction of the beam after changing
a headlight bulb;
❒ when a light is not working, check that the corre-
sponding fuse is intact before changing the bulb. For the
location of fuses, refer to the “Changing a fuse” para-
graph in this section.
Changes or repairs to the electrical system
carried out incorrectly and without due
consideration for the technical specifications of
the system can lead to malfunctioning and gen-
erate a fire hazard.
WARNING
Halogen lamps contain pressurised gas. If
they break, glass fragments could fly every-
where.
WARNING
Touch only the metal part of a halogen
lamp. Touching the transparent part of the
bulb with your fingers may reduce the in-
tensity of the emitted light and even reduce the
lifespan of the bulb. If you do touch it accidental-
ly, rub the bulb with an alcohol-soaked cloth and
leave to dry.
If possible, we recommend that you let
a Fiat Dealership replace the bulbs. Prop-
er operation and orientation of the exter-
nal lights are essential for driving safety and com-
plying with the law.
IMPORTANT The internal surface of the light may appear
slightly misty: this does not indicate a fault, and is actually
caused by low temperature and the degree of humidity
in the air. Misting will rapidly disappear when the head-
lights are switched on. The presence of drops inside the
headlights indicates infiltration of water. Go to a Fiat Deal-
ership.
