HEADLIGHTSLIGHT BEAM DIRECTION
The correct orientation of the headlights
is important for the driver's comfort
and safety as well as for all other road
users. This is also covered by a specific
rule of the highway code.
The headlights must be correctly
directed to ensure the best visibility
conditions for all drivers. Contact a
dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership to
have the headlights checked and
adjusted.
ADJUSTING THE
HEADLIGHTS ABROAD
The dipped beam headlights are
aligned to comply with the regulations
of the country of purchase. When in
countries where you drive on the other
side of the road, you need to alter
the beam direction in order not
to dazzle the vehicles travelling in the
opposite direction, proceeding as
follows:
❒open the protective flap A fig. 44 on
the inner wheel arch; it can be
located by steering the wheel
completely; ❒
introducing the hand in the opening
cleared by the flap, find out the
pressure-fit protective cap B fig. 45
and remove it;
❒ in the luggage compartment find the
supplied screwdriver and insert it in
the operating hole;
❒ rotate the screw as shown in fig. 45
until you hear the lock click;
❒ refit the protective cap B.
The procedure must be carried out on
both headlights.
For versions with Bi-LED headlights (for
versions/markets, where provided) to
avoid dazzling the drivers on the other
side of the road, you need to cover
areas of the headlight according to the
Highway Code of the country you are
travelling in. Adjust both headlights
according to fig. 46.
